Iack of Fn- During the past week

of visit from Doctor Boris Bogen, SUI
perintendent Of the United Hebrew
Charities of Cincinnati. Cincinnati has
the enviable reputation Of being the best
organized and most effective Jewish
charity society in the United States.
DR.. Bogen was not in Denver long be-
fore he was impressed with the fact that
there was decided lack Of something
in our community which makes itself
felt in all the various activities or mac
tivities of the Denver Jews. 1t did not
take him long to decide what this miss
ing quality vast was, in his opinion,
Lack Of Enthusiasm.
Why do we lack enthusiasm in
Denver and why is it so difficult to ac-
complish philanthropic undertakings in
our beautiful city? 1t seems to me high
time that the excuse of "Floating
Population should no longer be heard.

Denver. We have institutions that are
no longer new and people who should be
loyal enough to Denver to be enthusl-
astic in the work of these institutions.
The congregation Of Temple Emanuel
has been in existence for thirty years;
the Jewish Relief Society and the B 'nal
B rith lodge about as long. The council
Of Jewish Women is entering on its four
teenth year. 1t seems that in this length
Of time the absolute loyalty OF the com
munity should have been established.
The fact remains however that it has
not been accomplished. The enthusiastic
leaders alone are powerless. 1t is the ,peo-
pie who must take up and do things. The
greatest trouble is in the fact that so
many of our people think that aside
from not letting people starve all phil
anthropic endeavor is faddy and good
enough to leave to the few cranks who
want to do that sort Of thing. The work
with the boys and girls in ColfaX was
begun year ago. At that time there
were thirty Jewish boys in the Juvenile
Court. To-day there are about four. AT
that time there were twelve Jewish boys
in the Golden Industrial School, to-day
there are not nearly so many. Was this
worth while?
This was accomplished by the few
cranks who thought it worth while to go
over into Colfax and help our children
to realization Of American citizenship.
Even cranks will lose enthusiasm
when year after year the work is left to
their small number (for that kind are
not numerous.) To-day the work IN
Colfax is at standstill for want OF
proper quarters We should have
building in Colfax, modern and attrac-
tive with good gymnasium and shower

teer to undertake the work! Let us
have some more leaders and let us
have an enthusiastic public who will
enter into philanthropic work and do
their duty. TO retain the membership
of the Council it is necessary to call on
every member every year and beg Of her
to remain member. Where is the en-

SPEED OF THE EARTHQUAKE
striking Illustration of the Velocity
of Earth Waves in Seismic
Shocks.

New York.-A report of the velocity
with which San Francisco earth
tremorS Travelled from the Pacific to the
Atlantic coast has just been issued by
the coast and geodetic survey and strik-
1ngly illustrates the intensity of the
seismic storm. The preliminary
tremors, which consisted of small ir-
regular vibrations, are found by study
OF the seismographic records to have
been propagated across the continent
at an average rate of five and half
miles per second. But the motion of the
most powerful and destructive shock
was too large to be properly recorded
by the seismograph.
These data indicate that all the earth
waves recorded attained an exception
ally high speed. The rate of propag ga
ton in the great Charleston earthquake
of 1886, as computed from the time
data, was IT'S feet per second In the
terrible Japanese earthquake of Oc-
tober, 1891, the computed average veloc-
1ty did not exceed 1.3 miles per second
But in the Zante earthquake of March
20, 1893, the velocity was very nearly
five miles.

II. Goremykin's Career-Long an

The news in America of the down
fall of Witte and his conservative
policy for Russia has caused wide
spread interest, for the Russian dip
lomat quite won the admiration of
the American people by his able and
dignified conduct during the Russian
japanese peace negotiations. Whites
overthrow is accepted in Russia as a
victory for the reactionaries, and peo-
pie in this country are asking what
kind of man is to be his successor.
M. Goremykin, the new premier, is
not only regarded as a reactionary but
the general opinion is that he is not
equal to the task of facing the coming
crisis His elevation to the premier
ship has created amazement. He has
long been an untiring enemy of De
White. He is largely interested in
dairy farming, and, in fact, as a milk
dealer supplies most of the milk used
in st. Petersburg, and has been
dubbed THE Milk Dealer"

PHONoGRAPH SELLS ITSELF
Sings and Whistles at Farmers,

nothing else on the farm they wanted

ppearance as well as capacity. He
wears side whiskers and looks like
an English butler. While for some
time he has been called a liberal it
was only in contrast with such men
as Won Plehve and NJ. Sipiaguine, re-
dictionary leaders, both of whom were
assassinated. He began his career in
the ministry of justice, becoming
assistant minister, from which post
he was called in 1895, as a protege
of the dowager empress, to become
minister of the interior The student
troubles were just beginning, and
Goremykin proved SO lacking in en-
ergy in suppressing them that he was
removed and M. Sipiaguine given his
place. S1ptaguine was a victim of
his own harsh energy, for he was
killed by a terrorist bomb.
While Goremykin was minister of
the interior he had made report to
the emperor to the effect that the sto-
ries of famine and suffering which
were said to exist in certain provinces
were untrue. De White, who then was
minister of finance, thereupon pro-
duced documents to prove that the
conditions in the interior were as bad
as they had been represented to be.
Goremykin is said to have fallen on
his knees before the emperor, to have
wept, and to have begged forgiveness.
The minister was SO overcome that
the emperor himself brought him a
glass of water.
Goremykin, dismissed from Office,
nursed his hatred of De White. He
Joined the Won Plehve faction and was
a part of the caba1 which overthrow
De White as minister of finance in
1903. He was rewarded with the
craftsmanship of the agrarian commits,
sion. When De White became premier
he removed his old enemy from Office
The wheel of political fortunes has
turned again and once more De Witte
is down and Goremykin is up. De
Witte, unquestionably the biggest man
In public life here, goes out unwept
and unsung and amid the rejoicings
Of the reactionists, who hate the lib
erals and who distrust him. Yet even
to-day it is predicted that when the
next great crisis comes the emperor
will be forced to summon De White
from his retirement
The London Daily Telegraph at
tacks M. Goremykin as a bureaucrat
of bureaucrats, and as the high priest
of pigeon holes Heaviness, cunning
and incidence are his main character
istics- He dabbled in company pFo-
noting, for which he might have been
prosecuted had it not been for the
late Won Plehve. who refused to move
against him. His appointment is cal
culated to fill the friends of Russia
with greatest apprehension. Even the
dull observer can discern that a fate
full step has been taken and that seSi-
Gus consequences must be faced.

THE POINT OF THE PRovERR

An old proverb advises the shoe
maker to stick to his last. 1t means
that a man always succeeds best at
the business lie knows. To thu farmer
1t means, stick to your pillow; to the
blacksmith. stick to your forge; to
the painter, stick to your brush.
When we make experiments out of our
line they are likely to prove expen-
sive failures.
1t is amusing, however, to remark
how every one Of us secretly thinks
he could do some other fellows work
better than the other fellow himself.
The painter imagines he can make
paint better than the paint manufac-
turer; the farmer thinks he can do
a job Of painting better, or at least
cheaper than the painter, and so on.
A farm hand in one of Octave
Thanet's stories tells the Walking
Delegate of the Painters Union, "Any-
body can slatlrer paint and the old
line painter tells the paint salesman,
'None of your ready made mixtures
for me; I reckon I ought to know
how to mix paint
The farm hand is wrong and the
painter is wrong: Shoemaker, stick
to your last The fancy farmer"
can farm. of course, but it is an ex-
pensive amusement. If it strikes him
as pleasant to grow Strawberries at
fifty cents apiece, or to produce eggs
that cost him five dollars a dozen, 1t
is a form of amusement, to be sure,
II he can afford it, but it's not farm
ing. If the farmer likes to slosh
around with a paint brush and can at
ford the time and the expense of hav-
Ing a practical painter do the job
right pretty soon afterward, it's a
harmless form of amusement. If the
painters customers can afford to
stand for paint that comes off in half
The time it should, they have a perfect
right to indulge his harmless vanity
about his skill in paint making. But
in none of these cases does the shoe
maker stick to his last.
There is just one class Of men in
the world that knows how to make
paint properly and have the facilities
for doing it right; and that is the
paint manufacturers-the makers of
the standard brands of ready-prepared
paints. The painter mires paints;
the paint manufacturer grinds them
together. In a good ready-prepared
paint every particle of one kind of
pigment is forced to join hands with
a particle of another kind and every
bit of solid matter is forced, as it
were, to open its mouth and drink in
Its share of linseed oil. That is the
only way good paint can be made, and
If the painter knew how to do it he
has nothing at hand to do it with. A
paint pot and a paddle are a poor
substitute for power-mixers, buhr-mills
md roller-mil1s.
The man who owns a building and
neglects to paint it as often as it
needs paint is only a degree more
than the one who tries
to do his own painting or allows the
painter to mix his paint for him.
