EDUCATION IS
PULPIT THEME
next SUNDAY
State Teachers Association and
Governor Ask Ministers to Give
One Day to Cause

Next Sunday will be observed as
educational day in most of the
churches of the state. 1t has been
SO designated by the Colorado
Teachers association and Governor
Shafroth has issued the following
proclamation relative to the day:
State of Colorado,
Executive Chamber,
Denver.
Recognizing the need of co-opera-
tion of all social forces making for
better things in our government
and among our people, and holding
that the schools trough the teach
ers, and the churches through the
ministry, stand forth prominently
among these forces, l do hereby
suggest to all clergymen of all de-
nominations throughout the state
that on Sunday, November "a, the
next preceding the annual
of the Colorado Teachers
association, the morning sermon be
devoted to an educational theme, to
the end that the mental, the phy-
sical and more especially the ethical
training of the youth of the state
shall be promoted.
Given under my hand and the
seal this 25th day of Oc-
tober, A. D. 1912.

THE TREASURES OF
CONSTANTINOPLE

The approach Of the victorious
armies of the allied Balkan states
to the walls of Constantinople
brings fear to the civilized nations
that should the city of the Moslems
be captured by the invaders there
will be irreparable destruction OF
some of the buildings which in point
OF architectural beauty and tradi-
ton have never been equaled, and
IL demolished would be hopelessly
beyond reproduction. Chief among
these is the Mosque of St. Sophia,
beautiful beyond description. the
model for all similar places of wor-
ship, and after the wear and tear of
nearly fifteen centuries regarded
as one of the wonders of the world.
says the Boston Post.
The exterior is not particularly
impressive. far less imposing than
st. Peters at Rome, st. Marks at
Venice, st. lsaac's at st. Peters,
burg or St Paul's at London. But
once within the portals one is over
whelmed with the stupendousness
of the construction and the lavish
expenditure of wealth utilized in the
decorations. The pagan temples
had been despoiled, the quarries of
the world ransacked for marbles
and the mass of gold and silver and
precious stones are shown in bar
barrie ostentation.
Among the myriad of columns
one finds the starred syenite from
the first cataract Of the Nile, the
white marble of Phrygia striped
with rose, the black Coltic, the blue
Lydia, the green Laconia, the white
Bosporus, polished shafts that had
supported the roof of the Temple of
the Delian Apollo, others from the
Temple of the Diana at Ephesus and
of Pallas Athene on the Acropolis
at Athens, still others of greater
antiquity from the palaces of Iris
and Osiris in Egypt. There are
eight columns of porphyry trans
ported from the Temple of the Sun
at Heliopolis, while the decorations
and embroideries, holy vessels and
candelabra are of priceless value.
What worldwide catastrophe
would occur should the ordinance
of the Balkan allies destroy this
marvellous edifice! Emperor Will
liam, during the Franco-Prussian
war, when the city of Strasburg was
being bombarded, ordered that the
cannonading should not be pointed
in the direction of the famous ca
thedral. and the beautiful building
was unharmed. Will the comman-
der of the Balkan forces have the
same consideration, should the pow
ers permit him to get within range
of ST. Sophia?

gress. 1t was to this provision of
the act that Great Britain protest
ed, but no reference to the protest
was made in the presidents pro-
clamation. American naval vessels
are exempted without specific men,
tion either in the act of congress or
the proclamation because these au-
thorities believe 1t unnecessary to
explain the uselessness of payment
from its navy pocket department to
the one belonging to the treasury
department.
Rates Same as at SueZ.
The rates named in the proclama-
tion are practically the same as
those which will be in force at the
Suez canal next year
The president based his decIara-
tion of rates upon the report and
investigation of Professor Emery
R. Johnson OF the University of
Pennsylvania. an expert designated
by executive order for the task.
According to Professor Johnson s
report to the president, also made
public, the Panama canal should be
upon self-sustaining basis in TWEEN
ty years. 1t should compete sue
cessfully with the Suez route for the
traffic of Europe with South Ameri-
can west coast points and with New
Zealand, but can not be expected
to compete successfully for Europe's S
trade to the far East.
Taking the estimates of the canal
commission for expenses of opera
tion and maintenance of the canal
and for the Improvements held to
be necessary at the end of a decade,
Professor johnson figures that the
rate per net ton can be reduced at
the end of ten years to 81.

means of giving to the public lot Of
facts concerning the fat-frying methods
