Document Registers Severe Indictment Against White Civilization for Mistreatment of Dark Skin People.
Only Great Colonial Women Which
Gives Equal Status to
Citizens in Striking Conti
With
Other Countries.
LONDON, England, Oct. 12. *Statement of the manner in which the civilized white world mistreats its colored citizens is contained in the "statement to the world" issued by the Pan African Conference at the close of its session here. England and Belgium as well as the United States come in for severecriticism for their attitude towards their dark-skinned citizens and subjects. France alone is praised for her manifesting a truly and democratic spirit. The document says: "England with all her Pax Britannica, her courts of justice, established commerce and a certain apparent but unreal recognition of native law and customs has nevertheless systematically fostered ignorance among the natives, has enslaved them and is still enslaving some of them, has usually declined even to train black and brown men in real selfgovernment, to recognize civilized black folks as civilized, or to grant to colored colonies those rights of self government which it freely gives to white men.
Belgium Exploits The Congo
Belgium as a nation has but recently assumed responsibility for her colonies, and has taken some steps to lift them from the worst abuses of the autocratic regime; but she has not yet instituted any adequate State system of education, she has not confirmed to the people the possession of their land and labor, and she shows no disposition to allow the natives any voice in their own government or to provide for their political future. Her colonial policy is still mainly dominated by the banks and great corporations who are determined to exploit Congo rather than civilize it.
Portugal and Spain has Humane Code Portugal and Spain have never had a caste line against persons of culture who have to be of Negro decent Portugal has a humane code for the natives and has begun their education in some quarters. But unfortunately the industrial almost wholly in the hands of foreigners whom Portugal cannot or will not control and who are exploiting land and labor and re-establishing the African slave trade.
United States Permits Disfranchisement
The United States of America after brutally enslaving millions of black folk, suddenly emancipated them and began their education, but it acted without system or forthought, throwing the freed men on the world penniless and landless ss, educating them without thoroughness and system, subjecting them the while to lynching, lawlessness, discrimination, insult and slander, such as human beings have endured and survived. To save their own government they enhanced the Negro and then when danger passed allowed hundreds of thousands of educated and civilized black folks to be lawlessly defraughted and subjected to a caste system, and at the same time in 1776, 1812, 1861, 1897 and 1917 they asked and allowed thousands of black men to offer up their lives as a sacrifice to the country which despised them.
France Alone Democratic
France Alone Democratie
France alone of the great colonial Powers has sought to place her cultured block citizens on a plane of absolute legal and social equality with her white, and give them representation in her highest legislature. In her colonies she has a widespread but still imperfect system of state education. This splendid beginning must be completed by widening the political bases of her native government, by restoring to her indigenes the ownership of the soil, by protecting native labor against the aggression of established capital, and by compelling no black man or white, to be a soldier unless the country gives him a voice in his own government."
SERVES NEARLY FIFTY YEARS AS PORTER
Thomas Vinagar, of 2029 N. Nineteenth Street, has recently completed his forty-fifth year in continuous service in the Pullman Co. During this time he has traveled in the aggregate, a distance nearly equal to 281 times the circumference of the earth. He is the oldest porter in point of service the company has. Mr. Vinagar entered the service March 7, 1875, and was first placed on the route from Omaha to Ogden, where he remained continuously for twenty-two years. He was then changed to the route between Omaha and Chicago, where he still
THE MONITOR
Since Mr. Vinegar has been in the service he has amassed considerable holdings. He has built himself up to be one of Omaha's most respectable and respected citizens. Few in the Pullman Company's employ have seen the actual service that Mr. Vinager has. He first entered the service at $12.00 per month. After forty years of service he was raised to $15.00 per month. Now he receives $60.00 per month.
It is strange to say that during this nearly half century of service, Vinager has seldom slept at his home. His trips have been arranged so that he was on the road almost every night, thus furnished the music. Just before the children departed the photographer took their pictures. Miss Perry was the recipient of many useful gifts.
Mrs. D. V. Gordon and children, of 2702 Miami St., left Monday evening for St. Louis, Mo., where they will visit the parents of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon for some time.
YOUNG PHYSICIAN

Dr. S. A. Turner, and family, of Nashville, Tenn., are visiting in the city on business with a view to setting here. Dr. Turner is a graduate from Mehairy School of Medicine and has practiced in Tennessee for several years. His wife was a former teacher in the Kansas City, Mo., public schools. They are for the present stopping with Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Williamson at 2508 Burdette St.
AMERICAN LEGION
All Delegates Will Be Cared For At Kansas City
(By The Associated Negro Press)
KANSAS CITY, Mc., Oct. 15.—The Third National Convention of the American Legion to be held at Kansas City, Mo., October 31, November 1st and 2nd, will no doubt be one of the first cosmopolitan gatherings ever held in this section of the country.
"Wayne Minor" Post, the only Negro post in the city, has made extensive preparations to care for and entertain the delegates and visitors. With the railroads granting the rate of one cent per mile to K. C. during the convention, it is expected that several hundred Negroes will be in attendance. The rate is effective from as far east as New York City. The south does not encourage Negroes to connect themselves with the American Legion, but it is expected that many will come from that section.
"A convention of that caliber is worthwhile, bringing military geniuses from all sections of the earth together. The Negro did his part "Over There"
Why not join in now? said B. H. Billew, local post commander.
There were many Negro delegates at the convention last year at Cleveland, Ohio.

John Albert Williams to the priesthood, which took place in St. Matthias' church, this city, on St. Luke's Day, October 18, 1891, Bishop Shayler will preach and confirm a class at St. Philip's at 11 o'clock Sunday morning. On Tuesday, St. Luke's Day there will be a celebration of the Holy Communion at 7 a. m. and 10 a. m., and a reception at the rectory in the evening to which the public is cordially invited. Father Williams' entire ministry has been spent in this city and altho he has been called to important pastorates in Philadelphia, Boston, Washington, D. C., and other cities, he has remained faithfully with his work here.
ENTERTAINS SUNDAY
SCHOOL CLASS
Mrs. Tnelma Bentley, teacher in the Sunday School of St. Philip the Deacon Church, gave a very nice "Hallowen Party" for her class Saturday afternoon, October 8. The entertainment was given at her residence, 2812 Charles St. and was attended by about twenty-five pupils.
The affair consisted of several contests, for which prizes were awarded. Among some of the contests were those of the peanut hunt and apple eating contest, in which many took part. Refreshments were served and all had a very jolly time.

Beware of Raw Milk
```markdown
```
Two hundred and fifty thousand children died in America last year from preventable causes. Many of these children were victims of the ignorance of their mothers as to proper feeding.
Raw Milk is the cause of thousands of deaths every year, because it oft-times contains substances which lead to stomach and intestinal trouble in babies. In many of the largest cities of the country, such as Detroit, Milwaukee, Cincinnati and Chicago, the sale of even one drop of Raw Milk is prohibited, owing to its many dangers.
Nathan Straus, the great philanthropist of New York, who spends thousands of dollars for MILK for poor children found that out of seventy-one children who were given Raw Milk during the first summer of his activities, sixty (60) of them were sick at some time during the summer. He changed to PASTEURIZED MILK and out of fifty-one children, forty were well all summer. Experience showed Mr. Straus the harm of RAW MILK, and this prompted him to write a letter to the Mayor of every city in the United States asking that an ordinance be passed requiring that all MILK, unless certified, should be PASTEURIZED.
No reputable physician will prescribe raw milk, even from tuberculin tested cows as it may carry the germs of Scarlet Fever, Dyphtheria, Typhoid Fever, the "Flu" and Septic sore throat. The tuberculin test is a preventative against tuberculosis alone and there is no known safe-guard against other diseases save through Pasteurization. Dr. C. E. North of New York City, one of the greatest living authorities on milk, pasteurizes the milk he gives his children from his own tested Jersey cow; while Dr. E. V. McCullum of John Hopkin's University, Baltimore, Md., who has studied milk constantly for twenty years, is authority for the statement that Pasteurization does not destroy Vitamines or Life Giving Elements.
Every mother should see to it that her family receives only SAFE, PASTEURIZED MILK. She should inspect the DAIRY from which the MILK comes to see that every process is satisfactory.
Every mother in Omaha is cordially invited to inspect the Alamito Dairy, Leavenworth and Twenty-sixth Street, any day in October, Sunday's excepted, at 10:30, 2:30 or 4 o'clock to hear Miss Stearns on "The World's Greatest Need and Sources of Power." Dairy refreshments served and free cartons of cottage cheese distributed. Come and bring your friends.
N. Y. CLEF CLUB OPENS PALATIAL $40,000 HOME
Gotham Musicians Are Now Comfortably Housed in Their Own Attractive and Commodious Quarters of Which They Are Proud.
HAVE GREAT HOUSEWARMING
Prominent Musicians and Actors Take Part—Clergyman Delivers Address Bespeaking Closer Cooperation Between Church and Stage.
NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 13.—About two years ago, factional disturbance threatened the existence of the Clerf Club of New York. After a course of litigation, during which the club had been obliged to abandon for a time, their home, they are again back in their original premises. This time, not as tenants but as owners of a $40,000 property at 132 West 53rd street.
By way of celebrating the improved status of the club, and as a compliment to the attorneys and financiers, who had assisted them during their period of distress; the club gave a housewarming on the night of September 19th.
About two hundred of the club's membership that totals nearly a hundred more than that were present during some part of the evening or rather morning, for the affair extended well into the next day.
The character of employment that occupies the membership, keeps them employed at irregular hours; and in groups varying in numbers. On the day of the celebration, as on all others, some were playing for an afternoon wedding, others with theatre orchestras, some in late hour cancert; and still others at dance parties or singing for clubs or hotel suppers.
But from 8 P. M. there was always what might be termed a goodquorum present to care for the many guests. The size of the party grew until at 2 P. M. the high spot, there were enough musicians and their associates present to uncomfortably crowd the big house, save for the fact that the best of good will prevailed, making discomfort impossible.
Among the many guests were folks prominent in the life of Broadway. H W. Orvis, Gus Granger, Joe Roths-
child and G. F. Mearles forget their wall Street interests for this one evening and mixed with the boys who so often entertained at their more formal functions. They proved to be as pleasing a guests as they had been as employers of talent. Dr. J. Mendelsohn, vice pres. of the arrangers Guild of America and a former opera conductor was a guest. Attorney's, John C. Nugent, Andrew Nugent, Daniel Nugent and Mr. Finley were the guests of honor, with them was Atty. John Powell. Other notables present were Mr. Bert C. Williams, the great comedian; Jesse Shipp, the Master of stage craft He is Pres. of the Dressing Room Club. Messrs. Miller and Lyle, Sissle and Blake and Stage Manager Carl Johnson of "Shuffle Along" were there Smith and Troy, the prolific composers, contributed a new number to the occasion. The Rev. Floarda Howard ot st. Judes Episcopal Church demonstrate how a minister may be a regular fellow, yet sacrifice none of his dignity or the respect due to the cloth. His speech did much to establish and even more friendly relation between the church and the purveyors of clean amusement. Dr. Conrad Vincent, unofficial physician to the profession was another.
Mayor Jackson, Philippine veteran, and National Guard officer, with Lieut. Brown, an overseas man, and Lieut. Fred Simpson, director of the famous Fifteenth Regt. band, organized by the clubs first president. The late James Reese Europe, represented the arms of the nation.

SENATE MEMBERS ASKED FOR OPINION ON VITAL QUESTIONS
The Associated Negro Press Requests Senatorial Expression of Attitude on Four Specific Subjects Affecting Race.
SEVERAL SLIP AND SIDESTEP
Colored Citizens are Interested in the Traffi and Like Questions but These are Subordinate to Those of Political Justice.
(By The Associated Negro Press)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 13.—From one of the highest sources in the Republican party, The Associated Negro Press has been assured in behalf of the Colored Americans that the Republican organization and the Republican administration are friendly to the best interests of Colored Americans.
This assurance comes at a time when Colored Republicans throughout the United States have practically lost faith in the sincerity of purpose of the Republican party and the present administration. From the same high source it is learned that "the histori friendly attitude of the Republican party toward the Colored race has not been changed, and if you will watch the policy of its administration you will find abundant and conclusive evidence of this fact."
Turmoil Everywhere
This information comes at a time when there is turmoil everywhere there are colored voters. Ohio, the State of President Harding, has developed a state of insurgency that is nothing less alarming. The coalition and fusion effort is growing in the Buckeye State, and will doubtless manifest itself strongly in the fall elections.
Even in the City of Cleveland, Ohio, for the first time in the history of the city, the Democratic candidate is making an open bid for Colored votes, and is addressing their meetings.
In the State of New Jersey, there is considerable dissatisfaction over the present political conditions. Isaac H. Nutter is regarded by all of the progressive element of the Race as the real leader of Colored citizens in the state, and he has let it be known in no undercertaint term that he will not tol-
enate anything but political justice, for one and all.
United States Senators Express Opinion
For the purpose of getting right at the bottom of things and facing the issue with frankness. The Associated Negro Press has taken the matter of political conditions up directly with every Republican United States Senator.
Expression of attitude of four direct subjects were ask:
The United States Senators were told that Colored Americans are interested in tariff, taxes, disarmament, and other subjects, as other American citizens, but that there are certain subjects that strike up the vitals of the American citizenship on which there should be direct information.
Differences of Opinion
On the subject of lynching, there seems to be unanimous agreement that something should, must, and will be done. Senator Knute Nelson Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, promises to give to the legislation consideration and attention. Senator Frank B. Willis, of Ohio, declares that he is absolutely opposed to lynching, and declared: "I shall favor any reasonable looking towards its prevention." The Senator says he is opposed to the Ku Klux Klan. "Historically and otherwise I think there is no necessity for such an organization in our system of government." "Concerning the confirmation of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Senate Willis said: "If there is any objection as to his capability or integrity, of course that should be considered without reference to color. If the only objection is that he is a colored man, I, of course would not consider any such objection for a moment." Senator McKinley of Illinois, declares that "I think it an outrage that Henry Lincoln Johnson has not been confirmed." Senator McKinley says he is heartily in favor of as strong an anti-lynching law as can be made, and is against any such organization as Ku Klux.

General Lu's Forces Wiped Out
by Mutiny, Surrender and
Battle Losses.
Righteousness of Their Cause Given as Cause for Victory in Battle Between Two Chinese Provinces —Gambling Licensed.
Canton. "The "war" between Kwangtung and Kwangsi has seemingly terminated with the fall of Nanking on July 22—just a month after the beginning of hostilities—when Lu Kwung, the foremost of southern militarists, made his official exit from the province which he had dominated for ten years.
General Lu was at one time inspector general of the two Kwang provinces, and a constitutionalist leader when constitutionalism was popular in the southwest.
50,000 Army Wiped Out.
Prior to the opening of recent hostilities General Lu had an army of nearly 50,000. He lost it all within a month by mutiny, desertion, surrender and loss in battle.
The Cantonese have won. They attribute their victory to the righteousness of their cause, to disaffection among the Kwangsi forces toward their leader and to better organization and discipline in the Canton army, to assurances given the people of Kwangsi of noninterference with their ambition for self-government, and to Dr. Sun Yat sen's political doctrine of representative government.
The military governors of Kwantung province have looked upon, that province as conquered territory since the one-time monarchist governor, Lung Chi-Kuang, was ejected, notwithstanding the Cantonese played no small part in ousting Lung.
Gambling is Licensed.
Under the administration of the La Yung-ting faction licensed gambling was revived under the pretext of raising revenue for military purposes, burdensome taxes were imposed to the detriment of trade and industry, and millions of dollars of worthless paper money issued without security.
The Kwangsi people themselves have played an important part in helping the Cantonese to drive the militaries out of the province. Besides organizing revolutionary forces to supplement the Canton armies, they have carried on valuable propaganda to convince their fellow clansmen of the good intentions of the Cantonese.
Cantonese leaders now declare that they have no ambition to dominate Kwangsi. Gen. Chen Chung-ming has repeatedly refused to allow military authorities occupying Kwangsi towns and cities to establish political organs or offices which will be misinterpreted or misunderstood by those who are antagonistic to the constitutionalist government.
LOAFERS PROFIT IN ENGLAND
Surveys Show "Practical" Socialism Pays Jobless More Than Workers Get.
London.—Surveys here show that "practical" socialism is benefiting the unemployed to such an extent that it is actually more profitable to be without work than to have a job.
Islington, Cumberwell and Bedmondsey boroughs of London have in effect a law providing $18 a week "allowance" to the unemployed man having a so-called "standard" family of a wife and six children. The average wage received by the Londoner who works is $15. Thus it would benefit the worker by just $3 to quit his job and join the ranks of the unemployed. Shoreditch and Hackney boroughs have fixed "allowances" at $22.50 a week. The board of guardians of Woolwich borough is considering an "allowance" of $25 a week. Socialist leaders who have gained control of the boards of guardians and who are responsible for agitation resulting in the passage of these "relief" measures predict that similar ordinances will be soon put into effect by every borough of workingmen in the city.
Sweden's Population
Stockholm.—Sweden's total population at the end of 1920 amounted to more than 5,904,000 according to the Central Statistical bureau's preliminary figures just published. This is an increase during 1920 of more than 57,000 and a record increase since 1861.
$175,000 for Finder of Petroleum in Australia
Washington.—The Australian government has offered a reward of $125,000 and the government of New South Wales has offered $50,000 to any one who discovers petroleum in paying quantities. Hundreds of thousands of pounds sterling have been ex-ended by the government and by private concerns in an endeavor to find oil in Australia, but so far the discoveries have been practically negligible.

THE NEGRO WORLD
W/HATEVER one may think of
WHATEVER one may think of Marcos Garvey and the great international movement for the mobilization of the black races of the world, for which he is the very heart and soul, it must be admitted that The Negro World, which is the organ of this great movement, stands facile princeps, easily first, among the newspapers published by and on behalf of the race. No newspaper in America, and we include the great and powerful dailies of the country, barring none, has a more learned, lucid and scholarly corps of editorial writers than The Negro World. Its editors and special articles are classics. We do not always agree with the position taken by our able contemporary, and we think that it errs on the side of too much laudation of Marcus Garvey, but we cheerfully bear testimony to the ability with which this great newspaper is edited, and the powerful influence it must wield. That it carries a section printed in Spanish to reach its large number of readers in Spanish-speaking countries bespeaks for it a far-reaching influence which none can gainsay. The Negro World is a great journal and is moulding a tremendous race consciousness and sentiment among people of African descent throughout the world. This influence should not be underrated.
BEING HELPFUL
THE one who gets most out of life is he who tries to help somebody else who may not have had the same advantages as himself or who has been overtaken by some misfortune. In the day of the Great Assize we are to be judged as to what use we have made of the opportunities given us to help the other fellow.
THE DYER BILL
THE Dyer Bill to make lynching a federal offense is before Congress. Now is the time for northern congressmen and southern congressmen, too to prove that they really want the lynching evil suppressed.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY
WE print elsewhere in The Negro World the New York Sun's account of the address of Dr. de Lapoyouge before the Eugenia Congress, at which the famous French anthropologist spoke of the colossal disaster which unleashed white civilization. Dr. de Lapoyouge said in the course of his address: "Races may quite easily accept the same language and may change their religions and customs and may be called by the same national name, but they cannot change the shape of their skulls, their skin or their character. Anthropological analysis, however, reveals the existence of a superior white race and of inferior white races. It is this superior white race which, by virtue of its superior fitness, is now occupying the positions of social responsibility in education, finance, science, religion. We are confronted with the fact that the supplies of petroleum, coal and necessary minerals are limited and the finding of equivalents for these supplies is a task which only the superior race can undertake. The superior race has gone so far toward these equivalents already that we can
We have been made to understand that people are under the impression that 40% of the proceeds from the "Dancing Feast" given at Krug Park and conducted by the Blue Circle, Monday, September 12, 1921, were to be donated to the Church. This was a mistake and we wish to make it clear that the Club could in no way make such a primose, because it was given only 15% of the proceeds according to contract, for conducting the dance. This amounted to $58.12. The remaining 85% of said proceeds did not come into the Blue Circle Club's treasury, and we have no knowledge of its disposition.
We are making this statement in order that the public will be acquainted with the fact that there has been no enormous profit acruing from the dance, coming into the Club's treasury.
no longer speak of the atom as indivisible, and in other ways our civilization stands at the edge of infinite development which will require memories even more vast than ever before and intelligences more brilliant if these things are to be controlled."
But more significant were the remarks of Dr. Henry Fairfield Osborn of Columbia University, that education and environment do not greatly alter racial values.
It is certainly unusual to read of a distinguished French scientist speaking of a superior white race and inferior white races and saying nothing about an inferior black race. Perhaps he does not regard the black race as inferior or as insignificant and inconsequential as not to be taken into account.
The question of a superior race is largely a relative question. When we discuss interior and superior races, we bring in relativity; not the relativity of Einstein, however. Three thousand years ago the Babylonians and Egyptians were powerful and prosperous and regarded themselves as superior, while the Greeks were rude and sembarbarous. Twenty-five hundred and twenty-four hundred years ago the Greeks had reached the high water mark of civilization and regarded themselves as superior, while the Romans were rude and semi-barbarous. Two thousand years ago the Romans were the conquerors of the world and regarded themselves as superior, while the Britons, Gauls and Germanic tribes were rude and decidedly barbarous. Today the descendants of the erstwhile barbarians and savages are dominating the world, regarding themselves as superior and considering the Zulus Kaffirs, Baustos, Ba Lula, Ba Lolo, Ba Luba, Ba-Mangwata, the Mandigans, the Krumans, the Senaleses and Val tribes as rude and decidedly barbarous and of an inferior racial stock. Perhaps five hundred years from now the despised and exploited Africans may be carrying The torch of civilization and deciding who is in the world.—The Negro World.
LIVING A SELFISH LIFE
In every community there are people who live almost entirely to and for themselves. They never identify themselves with the church or any other organization which maks for social uplift or stresses, albeit imperfectly, the fraternal or social ideal. This is a serious mistake. Every man owes it to the community in which he lives to contribute of his best to that community. He owes it to society. Living to oneself may seem easiest, but the normal man and woman is he or she who loves to be friendly with his kind and this is impossible when one withdraws himself and by his isolation is living a selfish life.

Grandeur of Mount Rainier
Avalanche Lily Slope, Rainier National Park.
the famous Japanese mountain, Fuji, dominates its section of Japan, so the great white cone of Mount Raluher dominates the Pacific Northwest, a landmark and beauty-spot from the populous cities of Puget Sound, from the prairies of eastern Washington, and even on clear days from far at sea. It is the glacier mountain without a peer in the United States, and is estimated by one authority to radiate a greater volume and area of ice than any other one mountain in the world. Its area of glacial surface is estimated at 52,000 acres.
To the stranger in Puget sound it appears to be less than ten miles away, but on further inquiry the tourist learns that it is more than forty miles distant in a direct line from sea-level at Puget Sound, from where mountain survey measurements are made and all Raluher park travel starts.
Studying it more in detail, he begins to comprehend its size and rugged anatomy. But the scene is beginning to change; the sun is low in the west; the lower end of the glaciers, white a few minutes ago, become a graded tint of rose pink; the blue has changed to a purple, but the summit is still white, for it is 7,000 feet higher than the snow-line and projects up into the white rays of the setting sun. The red rays are slowly moving up the mountain; the summit has changed to rose line, the last coloring of day, which it holds for some minutes after the sun has left the landscape, and then changes back again, finally, from warm to the cold purple afterglow that generally precedes a summer night on Puget sound.
Its Cap a Weather Sign.
Its Cap a Weather Sign.
Viewing Mount Rainier after the weather has been fair for some days, it is common to see the summit covered with a cloud. This cap is very interesting and is always looked at for a forecast of a change of weather, especially when it forms immediately in contact with the summit, hugging down closely like an inverted sancer. When the cap forms suddenly, like the sudden drop of a barometer, the change of weather is not long coming. The cap does not always touch the mountain top, but is occasionally some distance above and holds its shape during a whole day or more.
From a far distance this cap appears to be a still cloud with no motion, but in studying it from close range one will observe that at the west edge the cap develops rapidly, dissolving to invisible condition at the east edge. Evidently it is a stationed point of condensation, but not a stationed accumulation of moisture.
The crater of Rainier, concerning which many questions are asked, is not dangerous, but rather a life-preserver, and has been so used during storm. There are no openings within the crater large enough to be dangerous. The whole circle of 1,600 feet diameter is filled with fallen black lava and covered with a thick pack of snow the year round, except at the edges near the crater's rim. The main crater was the mountain's principal vent of eruption, but there is one other place called the little crater; it and a few other spots near the top are also warm.
The first parties to the summit always made the crater their inn, where they stayed at night, warned by the steam that issues from the small fissures just within the crater's rim; but of late the plan has been to reach the summit from Camp of the Clouds (elevation 5,500), starting about 1 a.m., reaching the summit just after noon, and after some hours' rest, returning to camp the same evening.
Hot Steam of the Crater.
In making a trip to the mountain's summit, Angust, 1511, the writer took along a thermometer to ascertain the steam temperature, and found the steam of the main crater in places to be about 150 degrees F. There are other places where the heat is above boiling point.
The steam is evidently snow water that sees down and comes in contact with the internal heat, returning in vapor through the same general openings. It seems to contain no gas or fumes, and is of feeble force and little volume, soon disappearing in the high, dry atmosphere. It is not seen from a far distance and is not a factor in producing the cloud cap that forms on the summit previous to storm.
THE MONITOR
eur of
Rainier
Publications stating that smoke and fire come from this volcano during seismic disturbance have no foundation of fact, for it is evident that no civilized man ever witnessed such a sight, and that volcanic action in this section is a phenomenon of the long past. People have been misled in seeing a cloud that appears like smoke.
Since 1870, when the first ascent was made, hundreds of people have stood on the summit of our great white "Tempel Hill." A climb to the summit and return the same day is a long, wearisome undertaking, slightly dangerous, especially at one place rounding the upper part of Gibraltar rock, from which there is an occasional shower of small pieces of rock that thaw loose from the snow patches above. So far as is known there has been but one life lost in climbing the mountain, due to natural cause; the few others were lost owing to recklessness and lack of judgment. The crevasses are very bad if one gets into them, but they have generally been cleverly avoided.
Studying the crevasses and the actinic blue coloring they reflect will repay any one who has a day to devote to the climb. The higher up, the more curious are the carvings of the snow surfaces, which would indicate that the winds are the chief factor in making the peculiar whirttings.
This great pile of lava, heaped to an elevation of nearly 15,000 feet, is characterized by several features deserving of special individual study. The geologist, geographer, botanist, poet, painter, landscape gardener and specialist all find a wealth of interest throughout this 324 square miles of reserve, besides much adjacent territory comparatively unexplored.
Special Features of Interest.
To a woods-dweller the timber is a matter of course, but to those who have not been amid large forests it is one of the very special features of the reserve and an educator in forestry of the best kind. From the dense forests of the valleys and on the lower slopes, where trees grow to a height of over 200 feet, some with a diameter of 12 feet, the forester can trace the diminution of growth as the ascent is made to the scrubry brush-like trees at timberline, struggling, as it were, for their existence.
The unvisited portions of the Rainier park without doubt contain, yet unseen, such features as hot and cold springs, falls, small takes and horizonal rarities. High on the ridges and slopes of the neglected corners of the park the wild goats make their home. Sometimes they have been seen in numbers of 20 or more together. The deer, which are more abundant than any other of the large game, are occasionally seen from along the government road. The black and brown bear are also seen, and at rare intervals the stealthy cougar or puma.
At between 5,000 and 8,000 feet elevation the botanist finds Rainer park his paradise, wherein there have already been found over 250 varieties of plant life, a dozen or more kinds belonging to this region alone. The majority of the flowers are of light tint, but there are a liberal quantity of blue, red, and yellow, so deep and pure of color that artificial pigments fail to imitate them. The distribution of several species of heather is a technical touch of finish in the evergreen, tipped in summer with clusters of small bells in colors purple, pink, yellow, and white.
The first white man to visit the mountain was Dr. William F. Tolme, of the Hudson's Bay Company, from Fort Nisquam, who in 1833 closely appraised some of its glaciers. Gen. A. V. Kauz, in 1837 made an attack on the mountain, but it has never been affirmed that he reached the true summit of the highest peak.
The Rainier park was not much visited until 1900. In the years since then thousands of tourists have registered at the park entrance each season. Since the days of early travel by pony and stage have given place to railway and auto, the tourist can make the Journey from Seattle or Tacoma to the mountain snowline in a few hours' drive.

Wedding Days in Holland.
In orderly Holland, where everything happens by rule, the different classes of society choose different days of the week on which to be married. For some unknown reason Monday is society's day and marriage fees for that day amount to a sum approximate to £24. On Saturday's the charge is £2, or nothing at all if the couple do not wish a separate ceremony and are willing to join a group of 20 couples. At those grimo marriages, the clerk draws the service once all the couples making the responses in chorus.

Nebraska Civil Rights Bill
Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1893.
Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons. All persons within this state shall be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, public conveyances, barber shops, theatres and other places of amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to every person.
Sec. 2. Penalty for Violation of Preceding Section. Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any person, except for reasons of law applicable to all persons, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges enumerated in the foregoing section, or by siding or initting such denials, shall for each offense be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars, and pay the costs of the prosecution.
"The original act was held valid as to citizens; barber shops can not discriminate against persons on account of color. Messenger vs. State, 25 Nebr. page 677. N. W. 638."
"A restaurant keeper who refuses to serve a colored person with refreshments in a certain part of his restaurant, for no other reason than that he is colored, is civilly liable, though he offers to serve him by setting a table in a more private part of the house. Ferguson vs. Gies, 82 Mich. 358; N. W. 718."
Kitty's Regular Attitude.
Eleanor accompanied by a pet kitten was playing on the sidewalk. A array dog came up to them with which Eleanor immediately became friendly. swainwhile the kitten proceeded to swell up and spit, showing usual cat-dislike for a dog. Eleanor, noticing the cat's apparent displeasure, said: "Look at that, will you? She always acts like that when I speak to a dog."
Gladstone's Umbrella.
Gladstone's umbrella is a catch phrase for the Gladstoneian policy. When in September 1885, Mr. Gladstone issued his manifesto to the Midtolbian electors. It was said that he "opened his umbrella." His ministry were said to shelter under his umbrella, and that is why in caricature he was frequently shown with a "gran" under his arm.
GREEK BROTHERS SHINE
SHOES; SAVE $1,000,000;
NOW BUILDING BIG HOTEL
Five brothers who came to this
country 15 years ago from Greece and
settled in Uniontown, Pa., have made
so much money shining shoes that
they have recently given a contract
for the erection of a $1,000,000 hotel.
This story of industry and thrift says
Philadelphia Public Ledger, is a
rebuke to those who "whine that all
the promising claims on the earth's
surface were staked out before they
came along. There is more perplexing
fallacy than this. The chance
abound for those with the will and the
wit to seize them.
"The tale of the five brothers is a
recent instance of an old, old story,
and a story especially characteristic
of America, the land of opportunity
for those who are not afraid to work."
The success of the Greek brothers can be duplicated by any young American who has the determination to make his way in the world. Shining shoes is not the only road to fortune. You have the same opportunity in your present job. Here is how it is done: Every time you get your salary, take a dollar bill or more right off the top and save it—then regard the balance as though it were your full pay. Put these dollars to work. Invest in Government savings securities. They bear 4 per cent interest, compounded quarterly, if held to maturity, and are backed by the strength of the Nation.
Road To Success, Said J. J. Hill
Show me a man who can save part of what he makes and I will show you a man who in 10 years will be a real success."
WHITE MAN MARRIES
COLORED WOMAN
Is Sent to Prison for Violating Law but Wife Goes Free Under Peculiar Indiana Statute
JEFFERSON, Ind.,—James W. Fortune, judge of the Clark circuit court, decided Friday that while the Indiana law forbade a white man to marry a Negro woman or a Negro man to marry a white woman, it provided no penalty for a white or Negro woman who should be married to one of the opposite color. Grace Henson, a Negro, and Carl E. Johnson, who asserted he had clored blood, but, it was said was white, were married last March.
Both were later indicted on charges of missegenation of amalgamation and Johnson is serving a term of one to ten years at the Indiana Reformatory. The woman sued to annul the marriage. The court sustained a motion Thursday to quash the indictment against her on the ground that the law provided for the male party only. Summer Kannever, assistant attorney-general of Indiana, when his attention was called to the Jeffersonville case, said the amalgamation law is a curious one. He said it apparently directs all its force against the men of the contracting parties and against any others who knowingly "counsel or assist in any manner" such marriages, but provides no penalty for the women of the contracting parties.
The theory was advanced by others in the state house that the law probably was written by one who and in mind the old English common law, which assumed that on marriage a woman's identity was emerged completely into that of her husband.

HAUNTED YEARS; VICTIM IS ALIVE
Missourian Meets Man He Thought He Had Killed in Quarrel 14 Years Ago.
LIVES IN PERPETUAL TERROR
Man Falls From Train During Fight Which Resulted From Disagreement Over Dice Game and Antagonist Thought Him Dead.
Kansas City, Mo.-Reuben E. Hall of Paris, Mo., met face to face in a Denver (Colo.) street a man whom he thought he had killed 14 years ago and the memory of whose alleged death had haunted him all these years. A letter telling of the remarkable case came from Denver to I. H. Shatzter, manager of the Tool Specialty company. It was from Shatzter's half brother, Reuben E. Hall.
Hall, a young farmer near Paris, Mo., went to the Kansas harvest fields to work in 1907. He disappeared. The letter received by Mr. Shatzter was signed with a strange name, Harry E. Thomas. It contained this story of the disappearance of the new name:
In Perpetual Torment.
For 14 years Hall, under the name of Harry E. Thomas of Denver, has quaked at the sight of a police officer. He has avoided all persons he knew when he was Hall. He has spent wakeful nights, fearing arrest for murder. A wife and then a child served to add to his anxieties. What, if they should discover he had killed a man? But the worry is over. Thomas was walking recently on a Denver street. He met the man for whose murder he believed he was hunted, the letter states. The two recognized each other at the same time. The "murdered" man held out his hand in greeting.
"I thought I killed you," Thomas gasped.
"Land, no," the "victim" replied. "I was only bruised a little."
In the 14 years since his disappearance Hall's family has mourned him as dead. Relatives after a diligent search, took steps to collect his insurance, but lacking proof of death, were unable to do so.
Of what happened after Hall, with $175 in wages, left the harvest fields the letter has this to say:
"I got into a dice game, I won $750. One of the heavy losers was John Williamson. He and I fought over the game, then patched up our differences. Friendly, we climbed into a box car to go to Kansas City. We quarrelled again, fought, and Williamson fell from the train in the fight.
Not Guilty of Murder.
"The next day I read in a paper that the body of an unidentified man had been found on the railroad right of way. I was not guilty of murder, but to prove it was a different thing. Others had seen us quarrel. "I went West, changed my name to Thomas and grew up with the country. Finally I settled in Denver, was married and now have a daughter six years old. "You cannot imagine the relief now. Williamson went home with me, and we told my wife and daughter. I am the happiest man in the country. We are coming to see you and all the rest of the folks right away. I can hardly wait."
YANKS RUN PERU'S SCHOOLS
Entire Educational System of Country Under Direction of American Professors.
Lima, Peru.—Virtually the entire educational system of Peru is now under the direction of American professors who were called upon here recently to complete an educational reform movement begun ten years ago.
The foreign educational experts are to develop the system, from the primary grades to the university, in accordance with the special needs of each section of the country.
Dr. Harry Erwin Bard, formerly secretary of the Pan-American Society of the United States and formerly connected with the Philippine educational mission, was chosen by President Leguia to direct the reorganization. Dr. Baird has been appointed general of education, and under him are more than twenty American professors.
AIR ROUTE OPENED TO BAGDAD
Regions isolated by Deserts Made Accessible by Aerial Transport.
London.—Regions that would have to wait many years before they could be traversed by railways are now quickly mastered by aerial transport. News comes from the air ministry that a new air route has been opened up across the desert between Palestine and Mesopotamia. Notification has been received of the arrival at Bagdad of three airplanes of the royal air force which have flown over this route.
The new route is about 580 miles long. It starts from Ramleh, passes through Amman and Kasr Azrak, where landing grounds have been prepared, and proceeds thence in an almost straight line across the Arabian desert to Ramdane on the Euphrates, and there to Bagdad.
Too Many Women in Europe.
Berlin—Unless recently advocated plans of a Bulgarian solon and a Colorado farmer result in laws permitting farmers and others to have more than one wife are accepted in Germany, from 30 to 40 per cent of the German women are doomed never to have husbands, according to statistics gathered by Albin Michel, a German expert, who declares that Europe's arduous women have increased until they exceed men by 15,000,000.

How Many Colors for a Section?
Not long ago a train started out of
Central Grand in two sections. After
running a few miles the first section
lost time, and the second, running
ahead, was ordered to put up green
signals and run as first section. As this
train approached the next tower the
dispatcher asked the signalman if the

he just put up the green and blew."—
