one hold IL back OF him so that the

guests have been drawn in this way
they should DE cut out with sharp
scissors and then taken downstairs and

must be numbered. The guests then
are given pencils and papers with a list
OF the NUMBERS and are expected 10

one who makes out list that is the

first prize. while 20 the maker OF the
most mistakes goes the BOBBY prize. The
silhouettes are taken down at the end
OF the evening and given to the guests
as souvenirs OF the occasion. A rather
more effective way of making the sill
the old style is TO cut them first out OF
manila paper exactly as has been de-
scribed and then paste them on black
paper and cut the silhouettes out Of that.
This should be displayed pinned to a

There is a great difference between
economical dressing and untidy dress
ing. and yet a YER great number of
women seen to thirx that economy and
untidiness are one nd the same thing.
We hear q great deal about suitable
dress for the husinss wOman-what she
should wear. how many clean blouses
she should have curing the week and
how many muslin frocks she should al
low herself for eyaing, but no one pays
very much heed to the needs Of the

Three hundred and sixteen days
of the current year have passed; /;
316 carloads and over of household
goods have been unloaded along the
line of the Rio Grande system alone.
But carefully compiled figures of the
railroads entering the state show
that only about one family III three
brings household goods along when
they move into new location. The
balance before setting out for a new
home have a vendue or an auction
sale and get rid of all of their old
household and farm goods. This
auction svle is especially popuIar]
in the eastern states. About one
out of three of these sturdy eastern
unincumbered; he prefers to buy
new goods and to get the kind of
agricultural implements best suited
to new locations.
Sing the figure three then as a
safe basis for calculation there have
been approximately about 1000
families settled in the state by this
one railway alone, during the pres
ent year. Again using A 1-2 as a
basis for the average number of per-
sons in a family (and this again
is safe basis), there are about
$4,000 persons who have settled
along the line of the Rio Grande
this year. There are eight big rail-
way systems in the state. On some
of these systems, notably the Rock
Island and the Union Pacific i'll the
eastern part of the state. the immi-
grafton business has been especially
heavy. All of the railroads have
carried more persons this year than
ever before in their history, and a
goodly percentage of VI has been
homeseekers' business. Therefore,
taking the Rio Grande figures as a
basis for anbther calculation and
the $500 by seven, the
of railway systems in the
state, exclusive of the Rio Grande.
we have 81. 500 Adding to this the
A 500 of the Rio Grande a total of
$4,000 people for the state since
the first day of January.
But there is another factor to

moment that are now In Issue. and
in that case the country may rest
content in the knowledge that no
matter which party may be victor
ious at the polls. there win be no
backward step taken and the re-
forms already Instituted may be ex-
pected to be pressed with unabated
vigor
To the credit of Mr.. Bryan II
must be conceded by friend and
foe alike that he is man of un-
impeachable honesty, of stern In
tegrity of purpose of firm con-
victions and that he is not to be
swerved from what he considers to
be his duty by any extraneous con-
siderations whatsoever. Party sue
cess, personal preferment, political
advantage, all of these he subor-
dinates to what he considers to be
the general good, and his record
warrants the belief that he would
not consent to the sacrifice OF any
of his beliefs, even for the purpose
of indisputably insuring his election
of the presidency
This probably accounts for the
strong hold that he has upon his
party and upon the people generally
for men with red blood in their
veins do not like trimmer and
have no use for the presidency Mr..
Bryan still retains his popularity
and is admittedly the leading Demo-
crat of the day, is Unprecedented
in the history of the country and
speaks Volumes. not only for the
personal magnetism of the man, but
for the more enduring qualities that
he must possess, for mere personal
attraction cannot account for this re-
markable thing.
AS Congressman Champ Clark, the
eminent Missouriah said, THE one
gallus republicans are for Roose-
welt and the one-gallus democrats
are for Bryan, while the politicians
in both parties are against both"
However. this seems to be the day
of the "one-gllus" man. and the In
dications are that he is going to
dictate the choice of both political
conventions. the wishes of the politi-
clans to the contrary notwithstand-

That the rank and file of the
Democratic party is enthusiastically
for Bryan admits of little doubt and
that the nomination is his for the
asking, unless some very unexpected
happening occurs to change the pres
ent trend of public thought, is
equally certain.
Who will be the standard bearer
for the Republican party is a thing
that is now shrouded in considerable
mystery. There is little question
that President Roosevelt may, as
matters now stand, obtain his par
tvs nomination if he wishes it, and
the only thing that appears to stand
in the way of his running is his own
avowed determination to retire to
private life at the end of his present
term.
Between Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Roosevelt there is considerable SIM
ilarity, although there are alAo a
this in common, however, that they
are truly patriotic and are willing
to sink personal preferences for the
general welfare. Their beliefs upon
most of the great questions of the
day are almost, If not entirely In
accord.
1t has been broadly charged by
Mr.. Bryan's admirers that the presi-
dent has appropriated number OF
the formers ideas and is putting
them into execution, and it Is cer-
tain that Mr.. Roosevelt has given
expression to many views that were
formerly advocated by Mr. Brian
and are still held by him.
Be that as it may, the important
thing is that both of these men rep
resent the progressive as opposed
10 the reactionary elements of the
country, and whoever originally
stood sponsor for the ideas which
they represent, the thing OF impor-
tance is that they be put into effect
In the case Mr.. Roosevelt stands
firm in his refusal to accept another
nomination, the present indications
are that the Republican party will
nominate n man pf his type, one hav-
ing substantially the same views up
on the great matters of national

take Into consideration in making
calculation on the growth of Colo
RADIOS population for the year. There
are a large number of tourists who
come into Colorado every summer
with no thought of remaining here.
They get a glimpse of the scenic
beauties of the state, take a Whit
or two of the pure mountain air
that continually sweeps down from
the Rockies, see the great opportuni-
ties offered for investment, and, then
very naturally, they conclude to re-
main in Colorado and become cit
izens of the Centennial state. The
railroads have no records of the num-
ber of these persons. The one thing
on which they can figure is the num-
ber of tourists tickets deposited
with the ticket associations in the
larger cities. and left uncalled for
at the expiration of the time limit
on these tickets.
The records for Denver alone this
summer is put at something like
1000. In Colorado Springs the num-
ber is 1900, while there is no re-
port from Pueblo, but 1T Is safQ

side and there is total of 1900
to add TO the total of $4,000 giveL
above. Now, Denver, Pueblo and
Colorado Springs are not the only
cities In the state by any means.
Figure again another 1000 scattered
throughout the length and breath
of this great state (and again these
figures are conservative), there is
an apDrOXimata total of AZ 400 Der-
slons who have found new homes In
Colorado since January l. 1907. ~
Probably before the end of the
year these figures will be conside-
erably augmented.
These figures only go to show the
wonderful growth that Colorado is
making. These new settlers come
from all parts of the country. the
middle west probably furnishing the
greater number. These figures
show. too, most conclusively. that

TROUBLE AT WASHINGTON.

The colored people of Washington
have deemed it proper to fight Jim
crow" discrimination in the jans
and warehouses of the District. We
cannot say that il makes much diff
ference one way or the other in
that department. but evidently the
idea was 10 begin at the bottom and
work upward. We cannot see that
there should be any discrimination
in Washington. in view that the
Civil Rights Bill as enacted into law
is in full force and effect.
We are of the opinion that indis-
Greet utterances viii do more harm
than good. 1t is better to WELD the
weapon than it is to threaten to
WELD it as these white folks are
very well posted as to our strength
in any direction, and they are also
kept we'll informed by conveniently
inclined oolored folks as to our dis
positions and temperaments.
Our experience has been that there
is relatively more race prejudice in
Washington than there is in Rich
mond.
The colored people OF Washington,
or, at least, some of them, are large
" responsible for this anti-Negro
feeling. Many colored people, who
move to these sections do not seem
TO know the value of politeness.
They are loud in demanding their
rights and slow in enforcing them
when they are denied. In their
impotency they give voice to Ian
guage that tends 20 estrange peo-

pie who would be disposed to
champion their cause.
The greatest drawback is our
poverty. The vaporings of a mon
eyless people have a tendency TO
awaken ridicule. We should accu-
mulate money. A man who is not
able to contend for his rights upon
his own responsibility is handicapped
in court before his case is even
heard The law is so construed as
10 permit a Negotiating white man
TO do just as he pleases. and IL
takes the best white talent with the
best kind of gentlemauiy Negro ma
terial to get a favorable decision in
court Of law.
Some of our people viii yet rea-
lie that a reversal Of these ouerous
conditions viii take place in the
Southland When white Southern
ers champion our cause. as they viii
ultimately do, the oorGsrR aero
bat on the bench Of the Supreme
Court OF the United States viii be

For our part, we have been rele-
gated TO the Devil. so to speak. and
an applications for relief on our
part are now being addressed to
His Majesty. When colored folks
are Disseminated against ia the
iails of Washington, the Official
home of President Roosevelt, whose
word there is law and whose nod is
a command, then we might as well
"hang our harp upon the willow
and be silent for many days.
