COLORED WATERS.
w. II. HALL, HEADWAiTER COLO
RADIO TRAFFIC CLUB, WRITES
AN ABLE ARTICLE IN BEHALF
OF THE coLoRED WAITER.

There is no headwaiter in the busi-
ness today who has had any better
chance to study the colored waiter and
know his ability than Mr.. Hall, and
advice from him is worthy of note and
respectful consideration.
Mr. Hall claims the colored waiter is
the best. There are many reasons
why he should be the best, from the
fact that he as a waiter has no higher
position to apply for. save some head
department; he realizes there is no
chance of him becoming manager or
clerk, or filling any other place that
the white waiter can some day work
up to- So it is reasonable that he
should be attentive. make the best
waiter and never lose sight of the
sense of his duties, and this, the best
class of colored walters are doing to-
day. | must add that all managers
cannot agree with few concerning the
old-time waiter, from the fact hotels
of today have gone ahead of hotels OF
old times, as much as have the service
of the walters 1t has been fully
demonstrated that the old-time Ameri-
can plan waiter cannot give the ser
vice that the well trained and intelli-
gent European waiter of today gives,
from the fact one must be intelligent
to learn proper service; he must have
a fair education in order to keep his
check straight | admit that there is
not as much minstrel and comedian
ways about the waiter today as about
the old-time waiter. | also admit that
among us there is a class of walters,
whose appearance makes them unde
sirable: some call them the Tramp
set" some the Travelling waiter" the
name he loves best. But / call him the

no. check the worthles clas

To check the WORTHLESS class of
walters | think that the headwaiters
throughout the country should come
together and organize; have their state
or district rules, keep in close touch
with one another, and have it so when
a waiter quits one place he must have
paper of reference to place him with
another. This will not only stop the
tramp waiter and his ideas, but will
get better results out of him in places
that depend largely upon his assist
ance. 1t will put us in closer touch
with the main organization as well as
adding more members, and am most
assured it will meet the approval of
each manager throughout the country,
so in behalf of the best class of colored
walters. they know their places and
what duties they are expected to per-
form, are ever ready to answer the call
for service to the management who
considers them and will be as loyal and
faithful to them in the future as in the

Hon. w. B. Thownsend, the popular
attorney of Pueblo, Colo, was in Den
yer this week on legal business. Mr..
Townsend has just won a signal vic
tory. The first Negro sentenced to be
hung under the Colorado capital pun
ishment law was Lawrence' Hecks He
wGs found guilty and sentenced to be
hung. Attorney Townsend saved him
from the>gallows seven days before the
Lynn, tried for murder and defended
by white lawyers, was found guilty
and hanged. The next case of impor-
tance was that of Gus Mathews, who
committed murder in 1906. He was ap-
pretended and found guilty of murder
in the first degree. Attorney Town
send succeeded in getting a new trial
and his client is now serving term
of three years for manslaughter. An
other case of Importance which has
served to evidence the marked ability
of Mr.. Townsend is the case of Clara
Humphrey, who was sentenced to from
40 to so years for murder in 1902. By
persistent and careful efforts she was
pardoned on New Years day. Mr.
Townsend is one of the best criminal
lawyers in southern Colorado.

The arrest of Charles S. Muse last
Saturday night charged with the
theft of $1,000, caused no little
amount of gossip on account of his
prominence as worthy and highly
esteemed citizen. Mr. Muse, as is Gus
tomary, was detailed to go to the First
National Bank from the Stock Yards,
where he was employed, to get $4,000.
After returning to the Stock Yards
bank he discovered that he had lost
two $500 packages through a hole in
his pocket, and, while he has always
been recognized as trustworthy, he
was arrested by the detectives, pend
ing an investigation. The finding of
one package by Mr.. Atwood of the
LiveN Stock Commission Company
clearly substantiates the statement of
Mr. Muse, that he lost the money,
and he was at once released. Mr..
Muse not only stands well with the
best citizens of the state. but is high
ly honored in secret societies, among
which is the Knights of Pythias, of
Grand K. of R. & s., and Chancellor
Commander-elect of Damon Lodge No.
5, K. of P. His honesty has always
been beyond reproach and those who
know him best have never doubted

The growth in business done by the
United States forest service last year
over the previous year is partly
brought out in the following state
ment showing percentages of increase;

der sales, 102 per cent; in the number
of free timber permits. rs per cent; in
the number of grazing permits, II per
cent, and in the number of special-use
permits, 81 per cent That the addi-
lions to existing national forests and
new creations caused this increase
only to a small extent is shown by the
fact that the area increased is only II

provement of line so as to reduce ex-
penses and charges to the public.
The first crude idea was to shorten
lires by taking out curves and build
ing cut-offs so as to reduce mileage.
The most striking example of this is
the Central Pacific line, built across
Great Salt Lake. But it was soon
discovered that mileage was less i'm
portant than low grades and that 1t
was cheaper to haul around spiral
curves than straight up a hill.
Apparently the ideal of modern rail-
road operation is to haul the biggest
load with the smallest expenditure OF
coal and human service. This means
powerful engines, huge cars loaded as
full as possible, heavy rails. splid
roadbeds. strong and durable bridges,
hut first and last and all the time low
grades.
Every railroad from the Atlantic to
the Pacific presents some example OF
sacrifice of mileage to reduction Of
grades. But there does not happen to
be very many examples of SO striking a
change as that of the new line be-
tween Hector and Field, along the
Kicking Horse river in the mountain
division of the Canadian Pacific rail-
way.
The original line followed the course
of the stream and went straight over
the mountain after leaving it. Be
tween points covered by the change
if was a little more than four miles
long. The new line between the same
points is over eight miles. long, winds
in and out of valleys, plunges under
two mountains in spiral tunnels TO
cross itself at a lower level and through
another straight tunnel to the west
ward. The change will cost million
and a quarter
WHY should this sum be spent to
double the mileage? Simply to reduce
the grades from Az per cent to l-5
per cent, so that one engine can maui
over the new line 1875 tons more than
two engines over the old line. Here
is modern railroad engineering IN
nutshell.

ALL FOR DISPLAY.

President Roosevelt will go direct
from the capitol to the union depot
as soon as President Taft takes the
oath of office, and take a train for
New York. If he followed the usual
custom he would ride back to the
White House with his successor in office.
There is no particular significance in
the announcement of the presidents
intention. The New York county COM
mittee had volunteered to act as his
personal escort from the capitol to the
train and the opportunity for addi
tional display was too good to be over
looked and Roosevelt never gets lost
in the shuttle if he can help it. There
is no ill feeling so far as is known
between the outgoing executive and
the man he selected to succeed him.
The situation was different some
what over century ago. Whe!
InOn1dS J0lltTSOu pIOuuly
at the front entrance of the White
house, John Adams made his exit by
a rear door. Adams disliked Jeffer
son, and was chagrined over his fall
ure to secure reelection. Time healet
the wound, however, and the two
signrs of the immortal Declaration Of
Independence corresponded at intervals
during the coming years. 1t was their
good fortune to attain a great age,
and both expired on the Fourth of
July, 1926, the fiftieth anniversary of
the nation. History tells us that the
last words of Adams were, Jefferson
survives" but Jefferson was lying dead
at the time in his Virginia home.
President Roosevelt has little re-
gard for the memory of either JEFF
frson or Adams, but he will be ex-
tremely fortunate if history accords
him a place anywhere near equal
in rank to that occupied by these two
really great statesmen and presidents.

THAT CRIMINAL CODE.

Damphoolishness reached its prime in
the code commission, which was ap-
pointed by Governor Albert Z. Mead,
and which consisted of a few prOsecut-
ing attorneys whom the late governor
regarded as being peculiarly fitted to
draft laws dealing with crimes and
criminals.
Little by little the contents of this
model code" are being made public, and
if one may judge from what he has
seen and read the conclusion is appar-
ent that the members of the code
commission believed that the legisla-
ture would take their word for it,
and formally adopt the code without
even reading the enacting clause.
But apparently the reform the-uni-
verse-at -any- cost members Of the COM
reports from Olympia indicate that
the much heralded code has about as
ball in-well, you know where.
The need of codification of criminal
laws in this state is apparent to all,
but it is doubtful if even Governor
Mead appointed his commission with
the idea that it would not only codify
but change the existing criminal sta
tutes in accordance with the ideas of
a half dozen prosecuting attorneys.
For instance, it has developed that
this executive-app bunch of law
makers sought to settle the much
mooted liquor question by a
three-line enactment, buried in
the middle of a section, alb
solutely prohibiting the sale of in
cap the climax comes the announce
ment of the discovery that under the
rew code newspapers are to be pro-
hibited from publishing stories of
murders before the trial of the accused
and that newspapers Will be prohibited
from furnishing the public with any
information concerning homicide cases
where the evidence is circumstance
and will not be permitted to report the
trial of persons accused on circum-
stantial evidence.
With such provisions as that, ant

wonder that the enactments of Mr.
Mead's commission are likely to 81

nearly forty years. Of this collection
and of Mr.. elders place in American
literature the New York Times Satur-
day Review says:
Mr.. Glider has been so long the
poet of patriotic occasions and of HUI
manitarian causes; he is so familiar
to the public eye as the celebrant of
the nations heroes and exemplars of
civic virtue, that he owns a sort of
unofflcial laureateship. And as the
familiar friend of so much that is
best in the city where he has served
SO long as editor there are few emf
to whom he has not paid his tribute OF
song. Thus the poet gives of what
he has to his country and society. In
such coin, one may say, he pays the
tax which is levied upon his special
talent
Mr.. Glider as poet of good citizen
ship is strongly represented here in
the nature of things Nevertheless.
among the pieces for several excel
lent occasions, sincere, pleasing. full
of appreciation for the fine and good
yet poetry once removed. for all that
because they are pieces for occasions
and not spontaneous wallings up of a
simple passion for life and beauty, are
other pieces in which that spontane-
BUSINESS appears-when Mr.. Glider is
the poet merely.
For instance. the Prelude to The
New Day describes the dawn over the
water as only men can have known it
who have eyes to see. ears to hear.
and imaginations to thrill and the
same quality runs through the various
interludes' which follow and break the
monotony Of the love theme which
runs through the great pieces which
fill up that part of the collection.
"Mr. Glider as a poet of that pure
ly human person is less spontaneous
one smells the lamp of inner reading
of earlier sonneteers and lyrics of
love. Yet here also are touches of a
sincerity which lucubration has not
been able to cloud"
