ONE WORD ENOUGH
FOR A WISE MAN.

Dear Mr. Editor:
Permit me to use portion of your
valuable space in offering word to
your readers on behalf of the Edu-
cational Congress which convenes
here this month.
Says the Poet Milton:-"Not to
know at large of things remote from
use obscure and subtle, but to know
that which before us lies in daily life,
is the prime Wisdom"
Did you stop to think of what will
result from the Educational Congress
to be held here in August? If you
are following the present events oil
the world you must conclude that at
the Congress of the Races in London,
beginning July 90. there will be clear
" demonstrated that there are no or
ganic differences among men as there
are among the lower animals, that
the different races of men are only
varieties of single stock, differing
from one another in color, features,
habits and in character, but in their
organic structure and in the union of
physical and moral elements of life
they are essentially one.
This proof being given by the great
exhibition of talent and representa-
tives of every nation. race class,
creed and color 1t therefore devolves
upon us to rise to the present occa-
sion and with the union of hand and
heart to cater to the success of the
convention; unflinchingly and unhesi-
tatingly, irrespective of the peculiar
formalities that seem to guide us in
our daily life.
The cause in good and worthy of
the citizens of Denver. That which
actuated the promoters to secure this
congress for our city must have orig
mated in otherwise than sinister mo-
tives and reasons, so that there is
really no necessity for Withholding
any help, (the smallest) that will con-
tribute to the success of this venture.
That it will have the support of the
best people in our community is al
ready in evidence, as expressions of
good will and subscriptions toward en-
tertaining the visitors are coming in,
and we feel assured that this event
viii mark an epoch IN the city and
county of Denver, yea, in the state of
Colorado, that will rebound to pos
terity
Let all the good thou aimst at, be
they country's, the Gods and truths" "

ESTES PARK, COLO, NEWS.

The entertainment given Saturday
evening, at Stanley Hall, Estes Park,
Colo, August 5th, proved to be a
grand success.

NOGAI.ES, Ariz.. May 4.-With the

IN REMEMBRANCE OF THE
MOTHERS.

The increasing popularity of
Mothers Day is shown by the
greater profusion of white carnations
which are worn today as a tribute,
mute and immaculate, to the best
friend a man ever had. Wherever one
may go, in the leading cities of the
country, these white and fragrant
symbols of tilial love and remembrance
are in evidence. 1t is as if the ten
derest sentiments of the human heart
had burst into blossom by one COM
mon impulse.
The practical injunction is made
that on this day, by little acts of
thoughtfulness and the writing of let
ters, we express the love and gratitude
so often left to be taken for granted.
This. combined with the floral token,
constitutes stronger uplifting in
fuence, wider moral force than many
of the movements which are more
obviously and frankly altruistic. The
worldling never grows SO hardened as
not to hark back to the gentle min
istrations and patient affection of a
good mother, and though he may often
forget those influences in the rush and
turmoil of life, he becomes a better
man and a worthier citizen when, as
today, he is called upon to dwell awhile
in imagination amidst the scenes-of his
youth. The silent monitor within calls
up his noblcr nature and, for a time
at least, he squares his life according
to the standards which he knows that
mother, perhaps long since entered
into rest, would wish him to observe.
1t is hoped that the mails will be
weighted down today with those tardy
messages of love to "the old folks at
home" if kindly Providence has
spared them; or, if they have passed
away, that the sum of human happi-
ness may be swelled by the little
words and deeds of kindness said or
done in remembrance of a loving
mother.

Four Leaf Clover Run
Postponed to June 26

The -four leaf clover automobile run,
scheduled to begin tomorrow, has been
postponed until June g.
This action was taken today at
meeting of the officials and drivers held
at the automobile club, and was due to
teIegraphic advices from the contest
board of the American Automobile As
sociation, under whose sanction the run
was to be held, that only five of the
cars entered were eligible to start. ow-
ing to the fact that tine makers had not
registered them with the contest board.
Under the rules of the three AS, every
automobile manufacturer must register
the different models manufactured by
him. and the rule will be strictly en-
forced.
Manufacturers are registering every
day, and it is expected all will be. en-
rolled by June l. While the postpone
ment was regretted by President w. s.
Duvall. Capt. Ted Johnson and
other officers of the automobile club,
no other action was possible.
A meeting of the entrants, drivers and
observers will be held tonight at En-
erSon & Orme's store to formulate
plans for a sociability run. The proposed
run will take the place of the Four Leaf
Clover Tour and will be over the same
route laid out for that event. 1t is ex-
pected ii will begin tomorrow. The
meeting promises to be a warm one, as
some of the drivers are disgruntled over
the action of the American Automobile
Association in causing postponement
of the Four Leaf Glover Run, and are
threatening to kick over the traces.

more, although he was not particularly
fond of society functions. He was de-
voted to sports Of all kinds, and was a

Club.
A Native of Baltimore.
Mr.. Williams was a Baltimorean by
birth. and after completing the Gus
tomary preparatory course. entered
Princeton University. and was gradu-
ated In 1908. He spent the most of his
time after leaving college in Baltimore.
and was secretary and treasurer of the
Madison Motor Company. The young
man was a son of the late Mr.. and Mrs.
L. Calvin Williams. His father. who
was prominent lawyer Of his time. has
been dead several years while Mrs.
Williams died only last fall.
Mr.. Williams was unmarried. and lived
with his sister, Miss Adelaide Williams.
at 1907 St. Paul street. Another sister.
of Pinckney Lewis Sotheron, of Forest
avenue. also survives. The family is
highly connected. and during her life
time Mrs. Williams. the mother. enter
tained extensively.
Fine Horsewoman
Miss Griffith lives with her father, Ed
ward A. Griffith, on Elmhurst avenue,
Roland Park, and. like Mr. Williams,
was fond OF outdoor sports, being a par
ticularly fine horsewoman. Mrs. Grif-
fifth died early in the past winter. Miss
Griffith is a niece of Mrs. oliver Reeder.
and her brother, Raymond Griffith. ls
we'll known as a football player and as
a member of the Green Spring Valley
Hunt Club.
The decision to operate on Miss Grit
fifth was reached this morning following
a conference between DR.. J. R. Yelling
father, and Raymond Griffith, her
brother. DR.. Wellington will be assisted
by DIR. Beachey and the hospital staff.
That Miss Griffith is in a much more
serious condition than at first supposed
was revealed this morning when DR..
Wellington was hurredly summoned -
the hospital.
Fully conscious and in possession "f
her faculties since the moment of the
fatal accident, the girl was at first
thought not to be badly hurt. A prelim-
mary examination at the hospital last
night failed to show any injuries beyond
severe bruises about the head and body.
About 10 o'clock this morning the
girl awoke- from light sleep and told
her nurses that she was in great pain.
Surgeans of the hospital staff were
summoned. and it was found that MISS
Griffith was suffering from what may
proye critical injury to the back and
left hin. Upon the arrival of Ray
mond Griffith at the hospital DR..
Wellington was called. and a little
later the decision for a thorough eX-
animation and operation If necess
was made.

TRACTION COMPANY PAYS
ANOTHER DIVIDEND.

Business was pretty good with the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company iasC y'ar, thank you. In
fact, it was so good that the COM
pany Moa able to ray interest on its
load of bonded debt-the debt being
81 ,SO,5 O,5lo.ly, and the interest on it.,
$7S2, ,924. .lS-and have enough left over
to pay per cent on its preferred
stock of $S,5O00O0 and per cent on
its common stock of S6,5OO,OOO.
This year it is repeating the per-
formance, as will be noted from the
little advertisements appearing now
in the daily papers. Year before last
the business OF the company had so
nearly overtaken its watered securi-
ties that dividend of per cent was
paid on the common stock. Last year
it was raised to 2 per cent. The
notices just issued indicate that 2 per
cent will be paid again this year.
The heavy funded Indebtedness of
the company, swollen at the time of
reorganization, has kept down divi-
dends on the common stock, but even
with this burden to carry the COM
pany is able to do something for
holders of this security because of its
increased revenues from increased
traffic
In spite of these results, the cor
Poration stolidly maintains that it
cannot afford to exchange transfers
with the Capital Traction Company.

only thus far. Non-partisan features
include proposals:
For systematic reduction of naval
and military expenses.
Increase Of the corporation tax to
meet loss of revenue through tariff
reduction.
Campaign fund publicity.
Popular election of Senators.
Admittance of Arizona and New
Mexico.
Thus much the Senator thinks
should be done at the special session.
For the regular session next winter
he would:
Provide for Federal control of rail-
road capital, and for physical valua-
tion.
Establish a board supervisory of
interstate industrial companies.
Reorganize currency and banking
laws.
Take steps toward Philippine indie
pendence.
Pass conservation legislation.
Construct naval auxiliary vessels, to
be used during peace for commercial
carriage.
Not all of these items will commend
themselves. But as whole the pro-
gram looks i'll the direction the coun-
try is certain to travel. Legislation
along these lines is going to occupy
most of the time of Congress for the
next five years.
The country is ready to move faster
in some of these matters on which
there is general agreement. Congress
needs to be prodded, and the Newlands
resolution might well be given a
serious general discussion-which,
course, it will never receive-that
would develop the sentiment of public
men.
Congress perhaps could move for
ward too fast to satisfy the public.
But there is not the slightest danger
that it will do so
