TEACHING the Teachers.
"The first duty is to teach our teachers.
to train young, earnest. conscientious, IN
telligent colored men and women TO IN
struct their pupils in the simple homeiy
sciences i have described. And in order
to do that we are compelled to establish
an itinerant normal school. We will send
out our faculty in buggies and on horse
back from school TO school throughout the
counties under their care. A competent
instructor can handle at least thirty rural
schools. making two or three each day,
and visiting all of them two or three
times a month, so as to keep up the in
terest, correct mistakes. inspire ambition
and give practical advice and suggestion.

The chief troubles are the lack of COM

There is better feeling among the

The next step will be the care of the

household. to induce the colored people
to have comfortable beds. better cooking
utensils and TO practice habits of in
dustry. neatness and economy. and to ap-
ply their labor for better results
The next step will be sewing and

Children Not oxsrxerksd.

Denver.-The Republican Tuesday
morning prints the statement OF Hon.
Mrs. Lafferty. member Of the Seven.
teenth General Assembly. In regard to
charges that have been made of over.
work and cruelty against employers
Of children In the Greeley beet fields.
Mrs. lAfferty said.
As for any cruelty worked on the
children. the idea IL absurd. spoke
with the secretary Of the Mercantile
association At Greeley. with the editors
Of all the papers there. and with other
prominent people Of the place. I fin.
ally went out In the fields and talked
with the children myself. The gen.
eral consensus Of opinion was that
tue children. II anything. enjoyed the
work. The hours are not at all hard.
I'm many cases. families will con
tract to weed beets at $50 an acre. or
the children themselves will make such
. contract. Under these circumstances
the children can work what hours they
please. The only complaint that came
to my ears was that against Q beet con-
tractor at Brighton who refused to pay
the wages Of some Of the children who
worked for him. The matter was In.
stantly taken up and brought into the
courts and the money was paid"
Mrs. iAfferty stated that she hoped
to be able to take some 200 OF more OF
the Idle children to Greeley and give
them work In the fields. The idea
does not seem to be particularly popu-
lar ut Greeley just at present. although
the scheme has been tried successfully
In other sections.
The chief thing tho matter with
children. In Denver At least" said Mrs.
!.afferty. rs not over.work. but over
idlcness."
Those who accompanied Mrs. Lnf-
Ycrty on her trip 10 Greeley were Mrs.

pei. president Of the Woman's club.

DENVER DEALERS AGREE TO Paw
THE GOVERNMENT $4,000
AND COSTS
TO AVOID HEAVY FINES
WERE UNABLE TO COMPROMISE
CASES AND MUST COME UP
WITH THE CASH.

Denver. - Rather than face the
charges brought against them by the
United States district attorney, the of.
ficers of the Star Creamery Company
Monday agreed to pay to the United
States government $4,000 and costs,
as is permissible under the federal
statutes In internal revenue cases. The
officers Of the company were indicted
by the last grand jury for infringe.
ment Of the laws regarding the sale Of
oleomargarine, on proof obtained by
the federal authorities after a raid on
the creamery office at Fifteenth and
Market streets last March.
The money was paid over to District
Attorney Thomas Ward. Jr., In the
form Of a check on the German. Amer.
lean Trust Company. by Fred W.
Parks. attorney for the company. On
the receipt Of the check. District At
torney Ward formally withdrew the
charges against the officers and direc-
tors Of the company. The men against
whom the charges stood are John E.
Button. James L. Glendenning. Paul
Malone. Ernest Mcleod, NJ. F. Thom-
as and J. X. Moore.
Had the numerous counts been prov
en-. 1t is estimated that the combined
fines would have run into hundreds of
Thousands Of dollars. and the convicted
men would likewise be liable to . com.
bined term Of several hundred years
In the penitentiary. The $4,000 is
the amount Of taxes alleged to have
been lost to the government through
the illegal sale Of oleo ON the part Of
the creamery company. The expense
to the government entailed In running
down the offenders will mount up to
a considerable sum and will also have
to be paid by the company officers.
The company. through Attorney Parks.
has tried to settle the l50-odd counts
against them with the authorities BY
some sort OF . compromise. but the
authorities have remained firm and
demanded the full amount CT lost
taxes.
