POOR ABUSED CERES.

Miss Ceres, whom tradition, the COM
mon consent of years, and the common
sense of many Kansans dictates should
crown the state capitol dome, has be-
come a nightmare to the state Off
Gals. 1t is part of their prayers of
thanksgiving for the respite given while
the question is kept in the background.
Prayer for the restraint of a heather
goddess is no new thing 1t was COM
mon enough in the days that saw
Christianity struggle with heathenism
when the great Roman empire was on
it's last legs. The spectacle of Kansas
officials wrestling with the heather
goddess in this fashion is decidedly odd
at this advanced day.
Delay accomplishes nothing toward
the solution of a vexing problem. 1t
merely gives time for more fool sug-
gestions. There is no guarding against
what may be offered next.
If mythology is absolutely unbeara-
BILE, and the state officers yield to
certain sentiment to discard Ceres, they
might try Mother Goose. 1.-The Old Wo-
man who Lived in a Shoe is of un-
certain locale and if experts. were en-
ployed it is entirely possible that her
origin can be traced down to some
where near Abilene or Medicine Lodge.
Some people want to relegate the dim
past entirely, however. live only in the
present or look forward to the future
So if the crownpiece of the state house
is to properly prognosticate the future
that lies before Kansas, it may require
the gigantic figure of a brawny Ameri-
can with a hose nozzle which shall have
an enormous upturned funnel attach
ment to catch the storms. drown the
officials underneath or typify the irrl-
eating of Kansas semi-arid regions
Congress may take up irrigation and
make the hope O. the western country
a fact 1t may become as much of an
all-pervading question to Kansas as
it is to Colorado-and yet many good
people would like to see doubt and
hesitancy vanish and Miss Ceres es-
tablished on the perch that has been
so long reserved for her.
And then again some maniac may
come forward, say Put up lightning
rod and let it go at that. There is no
insurance on the old building anyhow:
and be taken at his word.

We believe with the Union Record
in that ca publisher cannot serve
two masters" and believing that we
had better friend in the moneyed
master than we could expect in the
laboring master, we have decided to
serve the former in preference to the
latter Both the Negro and the
organ" Of the Negro have reasons
to oppose labor unionism wherever
they find it, simply because expert
ence has taught them that such is
the only course they can pursue and
keep the wolf from the door in those
localities where unionism prevails to
any great extent. The Union Record
is wrong in toto when it says, 'labor
unions do not oppose colored labor
ers unless the same be non-union
men," for in no place where the col
ored man is a dangerous labor fac
tor does the labor unions give him
an equal show in their lodges and
associations, and while the Record
may be correct in saying, ga few col
ored men in this city are members
of labor unions" if it will take the
pains to hunt the matter up, it will
find that not to exceed a hundred
colored men throughout the city do
that kind of labor in which labor
unions play conspicuous part, and
even right here, they are not given
fair deal, for regardless Of how
many colored men might join the
walters union, if one Of them should
go to another place in the city out
side Of where they are regularly en-
ployed, for work, he would not get
situation long enough to earn
meals victuals, and that, too, on ac-
count of labor union helps oppo-
sition to colored labor. The Record
has plenty Of good theory, but is
quite devoid of actual facts.

MR.. WALSH DENIES
REPORTED INTERVIEW

Denver, June 0.-"The report that
has gone abroad relative to the posi-
bility that President Mckinley and
Mrs. Mckinley might come to Colo
RADIO and be my guests during the
summer, is entirely erroneous" said
Thomas II. Walsh to a Denver re-
porter.
Il did say to n newspaper man that
i was sure Mr.. Mckinley greatly re.
gretted his inability to visit Colorado
according to the original plan Of the
itinerary, and that had no doubt
that some time before the close of his
administration the President would
make an effort to pay to Colorado the
visit now abandoned, and that, in such
an event, l would be delighted to ell
tertain the President
II did not say, either, that Mrs. Nc
ktnley, as soon as she had sufficiently
recovered here strength, would come
to Colorado for the summer for the re-
cuperation of her health. My remark
on that subject was to the effect that
while Mrs. Mckinley was Ill in San
Francisco 1t was suggested that she
spend the summer in our state, 1t be-
Ing considered at that time the locality
most favorable to her recovery. Had
she come, We would, of course, have
done all in o,ir power to render her
stay comfortable and pleasant. 1t was
later decided, however, that 1t would
ne best for her to return at once to
Washington, and have heard nothing
OF 1t, II she has any present intention
OF coming to Colorado"

Lively interest has been awakened

spring more than 5000 quails, costing

pected. The birds are sent in cages
fifty In each cage-constructed espe-
cially for the purpose. The small lot
of American quails which We're set
free in Count Lewenhaupt's estate at
Chaestorp last spring endured the win.
ter well. and it appears that Sweden
has good prospects of an increase in
its game, birds.
