UNIFOrIITY DESIRABLE.

An incident that occurred last
Monday has brought up the mat
ter of the importance Of uniform
ity in the size of fire hose and con-
nections among the outfits, owned
by the different mills and works of
the city.
When the alarm of fire was
sounded at the National, the Ell
Paso mill employees quickly re-
sponded and two hundred feet of
hose was taken along, Upon ar
rival at the scene of the fire, how
ever, it was found that the Ell Paso
hose could not be used. as it was
of different size from that used by
the National. Had the fire been
more serious in its nature by hav-
ing gotten beyond control of the
National men, this difference in
the hose might have proven ca
lamity.
The precaution should be taken
by the different mill owners and
retineries to reach an arrange
ments whereby all fire apparatus
would be of uniformity of size and
kind, and similar and interchange
able throughout.

AN UNAMERICAN STATEMENT

I'm all the pages of national
history that have been written
during the last thousand years there
is nothing so despicable, so damn
able and utterly inexcusable as the
treatment of the Filipinos by the
United States government Com
pared with us, France is spotless
white"
The above is the statement of n
prominent citizen of Boulder, a
man who pretends to be a citizen
of the United States and who
claims the protection afforded by
the flag, the constitution and the
laws. But no one would recognize
it as the statement of an American.
1t rounds more like having come
from Jouast, an Agoncillo or a
Weyler. When an American citi-
zen will allow his prejudice to in
huence his words to the extent of
belittling his own country as COM
pared with nation so vile, so
heartless and so degraded as is
France today, then he should re-
nounce all allegiance to the flag
which is sheltering him, and cast
his lines with the nation that ap-
peals so strongly to his admiration
When he expresses such senti-
ments as those he is no longer an
American, except in name. The
odium that attaches to France
through perjury, injustice and in
humanity would well become him,
for there is broad streak of Ben
edict Arnoldism in him.

"Brown's in Town"

Browns in Town" is the clever
title of the latest farce which will
be given its first presentation in
this city in the opera house Friday,
Sept. %. The lines in Browns
in Town" are said to be bright and
witty, and upon investigation one
finds that there are great many
reasons for Brown remaining in
Town. One of the principal rea-
sons is the fact that he wishes to
keep his marriage a secret from

SOLDIERS WANT TO GO HOME
But Are Short on Cash--Cannot
Pay Full Fare.

Some of the members of the
Colorado volunteers who returned
to Denver came here from Eastern
homes prior to their enlistment.
For this reason many of them. are
desirous of leaving the state for
the points where their families live.
and they are anxious to secure
special transportation rates. The
most of the volunteers who applied
at the employment bureau of the
Soldiers Aid society yesterday for
assistance did so in search of re-
duction in fare. The president of
the society called upon several
railroad officials in the afternoon
for the purpose of inquiring if a
special rate could be secured, but
the present indications are that
these efforts will not meet with
success.
The government was obligated
to return the soldiers to the place
of their enlistment and for the
place of their enlistment and for
this reason the eastern mem bers Of
the regiment many of them are
having trouble getting away to see
their folks. Some of the boys
spent most of their funds in San
Francisco and others are short for
various reasons. About twenty
five of this class called at the Aid
society's headquarters yesterday,
but they were told to return later
and learn what the officers had
succeeded in doing for them. The
local railroads will probably offer
special rates to the volunteers who
wish to return to points within the
borders of the state.
The employment bureau opened
yesterday morning and John G..
Fleming had charge of the place

contrary, will first establish a stable and
liberal government such as these people
have never known. If the people show
a capacity to maintain such a government,
it follows naturally that the President
would pursue the same policy as has been
announced in reference to Cuba-such as is
assured by the McEnery resolution, which
was adopted by the votes of the supporters
of the Presidents policy, with two or three
exceptions.
This does not suit Colonel Bryan He
would have the President announce that the
independence of the Philippines will be
recognized. What would be the effect of
such an announcement upon such a man
as Aguinaldo? He would regard it as an
evidence of weakness on our part which
would make Linn so arrogant that he would
demand the immediate evacuation of Ma
Mia. If Colonel Bryans demand was
made the policy of the country Dewey and
Otis, with their gallant men, would be
recalled at once. The American people are
not in favor of such a policy. On the
contrary they demand the submission of
the leaders who have attacked our men and
who planned the assassination of all those
opposed to Aguinaldo in Manila.

The people over the State have come to
recognize as fact that there is more of
their money squandered through the trustees
and commissioners than all other places put
together. Therefore they are demanding
that something be done. 1t is claimed by the
advocates of the bill under consideration
that it will largely remedy present evils
The bill may have defects. 1t is not
so much the necessity for perfect bin lust
now as it is the absolute need of a forward
movement in the direction of better local
government An imperfect law can be
readily improved if the base seems sound

iature passes the bill the better.-Hunting-

On Thursday the Board of Commissioners
Of Boone county issued an order authoriz-
ing the construction of a new courthouse.
Thls action was taken after a large number
or farmers in the county had kicked vigor-
ously because it would increase their taxes
and also for the reason that they did not
ueem another structure a necessity just at
TINS time. Here is a case where county
council would serve a good purpose The
taxpayers of Boone county are without
doubt against this proposition, yet two men

ger.
Whatever objections may be urged against
the pending county and township reform
bills, one thing is pretty generally conceded,
and that IS there should be a change in the
present loose methods of levying the taxes
and spending the peoples money. There is
too much autocracy and one-man power.
considering the frailties of men, to secure
the protection Of the peoples interests under
the present laws One thing the Call cannot
lndorse in many who are opposing the pend
ing bills, is that they offer nothing as a
substitute and yet they admit that there is
pressing need of reform. Another very I'M
fair way of opposing them is to charge that
they were gotten up by some certain clan in
favor of some city or clan of business
houses. 1t is charged that these bills are
drawn in the interest of certain supply
houses at indianapolis, when it is a noto-
rlouS fact, clearly apparent to any one who
has been in touch with the Legislature, that
every supply house. every stationery con-
Germ and every bridge agency at Indianapo-
lis have been lobbying earnestly and per-
sstently against these reforms. The charge
that the reform bills if they become the law
will increase taxes is also preposterous.

MONEY FOR PRIMARY SCHOOLS.

Superintendent Goss's recommendation to
the School Board that no more money should
be expended on the High School and Indus
trial Training School until every child in
the primary grades is given a seat in a sani-
tary schoolhouse' is based on justice and
common sense, and should by all means
govern the action of the board. 1t would be
well, of course, if funds permitted the sup
plying of the needs of all the schools, but
since this is not the case the children of the
primary grades should be provided for first.
The correctness of this proposition admits
of no dispute. A large amount of money is
required to support the two high schools,
and there are indications that the educa-
tiOnal system is becoming top-heavy, but
whatever may be the States duty in regard
to giving advanced education at high cost
to a comparatively small number Of pupils
there is no question of the necessity for sup
plying primary instruction to every child
A very large majority of the children in the
public schools never enter high schools.
The compulsory education law now requires
that every child between the ages of eight
and fourteen shall attend school at least
twelve weeks in each year, but previous to
the passage of that law a very large per-
centage left school at the age of eleven or
earlier. With the limit advanced three years
the full benefit of the added time should be
given them. Rooms and teachers should be
furnished for the lower-grade pupils what
ever the high schools may lack The super
intendent's report shows that forty-seven
additional rooms will be needed at the open
ing of the school year next September. 1t
will be a scandal and disgrace If dollar is
spent unnecessarily in any other quarter
before the accommodations are supplied
The city is growing and the schools must
increase in proportion or endless trouble will

RECENT PUBLICATIONS.
The Cuban and Porto Rican Cam
paigns.

With due allowance for Richard Harding
Davis's rather opinionated. know-it-all style
he was very interesting war correspond
ent. He is a close observer. possesses the
faculty of describing what he sees in vivid
and impressive style and is fearless in stat
ing what he believes to be the truth. His
series Of articles contributed to Scribner's
Magazine have been expanded and pub
lished in book form under the title The
Cuban and Porto Rican Campaigns" Mr.
Davis was at Key West when war was de-
claTed and the first shot fired, and his MARIA
tive covers the period of the Cuban and
Porto Rican campaigns from that time till
the end. OF course, il is far from being
complete history of these campaigns but as
the narrative of one man. who was an eye
able contribution to that history. As is
generally known Mr.. Davis is a severe critic
of General Shafter and others high in COM
mand. and he attributes the success Of the
operations against Santiago entirely to the
dash and daring of the American private
he gives unstinted praise. AS far as Gen
eral Shafter is concerned Mr.. Davis has
nothing but censure. and the boldness of his
criticism suggests that things might have
gone much better if Mr.. Davis had been in
command. However, nothing succeeds like
commander of the expedition al least some
share of credit for its brilliant success
The book has the qualities of VividneSS and
picturesqueness, and it's descriptions of the
scenes and incidents of the campaign are
clear and comprehensive. The illustrations,

AT THE woMAN,s COUNCIL.
Young COIOred Woman Was the
"Star'' of One Session.

Washington Letter in New York Tribune.
1t was left for young colored woman to
impress the council as it has not been Inn
pressed before during its sessions. This was
Mrs. Coralle Franklin Cook, wife OF Prof.
George w. Cook, Of Howard University:
Mrs. Cook came to the council as traternas
Colored Women. Her paper was on Some
Effective Methods of Missionary Work in
the South" 1T is not too much to say that
in voice, simple dignity and ease of manner
Mrs. Cook is the peer of any woman in the
council. The force of this may be appre.
ciated when it is added that it is the general
feeling among the women themselves. 1T
was a revelation. There has been nothing
finer in unconscious grace, nothing stronger
than this young womans plea for the wom-
anhood of her race. 1t stirred the council to
the depths Of its highest noblest feelings
There were tears in many eyes, and at the
conclusion prominent member of the coun-
Gil and leader in woman's work arose and
II have heard nothing since came to the
council so helpful and so inspiring" Mrs.
Cook told of mission work in the South,
beginning with brief reference to the con-
ditions of the country, especially at the
time of emancipation and paying high
tribute to the unselhshness OF the mission
aries who went to the South and endured
so much for the elevation of the negro. The
main point of the paper is to review the
work of missions in the South after the civil
war Her portrayal of what these mission
aries had to face and their courage In doing
so is true to history Their object IS tersely
epitomized by her in the following sentence:
''They are to bring new education and
new gospel to the people whom 250 years or
bondage have STEPPED In blacklist ignorance
and degradation" Mrs Cook dealt with the
different religious denominations beginning
with the American Missionary Association
as first in the field and as first in rank as
to extensiveness of operations, also giving
full credit for all work 10 each within its
sphere. She did not confine herself to the
colored people. but reviewed the work
among the whites of mountain regions, and
objected to calling them crackers" clay
eaters and ''sand-hilers," approving of the
more charitable name. American high
ianders." She paid a high tribute To the
tenacity of innate womanliness, as shown
in the character of the negro woman and
saw the elevation OF her people only through
the proper training of the glrl-the future
home-maker. The paper called attention TO
the proposition that, although a generation
has passed away since emancipation, so vide
is the field that the work is just begun.
