COLORADO NINE OWNERS LAwLEss.

Statements by John D. Rockefeller in regard to
the causes for the troubles in the Colorado coal
gions show that his information incorrect. So
far from acting under the law and in vindcation of
the law the coal companies violated the law and have
always done
that if the mining come MES had respected the laws
of the State the ptful scenes in the mining regions
would not have been witnessed. The Colorado stat
utes provide for eight-hour law, semi-monthly
payment of wages and the employment IF check weigh
men. and prohibit the payment of employees in COM
pany-store orders. Concessions by a company on
any of these points simply compliance with the
law.
The Colorado law makes it unlawful for an en-
poyer to interfere with labor organizations to dis
crminate against those who may belong to organ
izations The Colorado law says it is not unlawful
for workmen to combine to secure employment or to
"agree in any manner to advise and encourage by
peaceable means any person to enter into
any combination in relation to entering into or re-
naming in the employment of person, persons or
corporation in relation to the amount of or
compensation to be paid for labor for the procur
ing of fair and just treatment for employees, or for
the purpose of aiding and protecting their welfare and
interest"
The Colorado law prohibits the coal companies
from hiring armed guards without permit from the
Governor. The act is a felony. And the mine owners
regularly employed armed guards to violate other
laws such that relating to labor organizations and
the store-order system. And men, women and chill
dren were death because they acted according
to laws that their employers brutally violated.

many of them probably should never have been con-

Again 1t is announced that Huerta has seized all

GRAPE JUICE AS pEACEMAKER.

The report that grape-juice agent has arrived in
Vera Cruz from Chicago is credible for it is
tirely consistent with the situation. Our navy now
at Vera Cruz from which all vnous, spirituous and
malt liquors are now barred, necessarily must have
some beverage Even Mr.. Bryan, with his frugal and
abstemnous habits isn't on the water wagon" His
favorite beverage, all the world knows, is the I'M
fermented juice of the What is there left for
the navy but to adopt grape juice as its eonvvial
drink? Hence the grape-juice agent.
But there may be a political strategica as well
as benevolent object in the mission of this agent
Who shall say he is not emssary of the state de-
partment? Grape juice has become associated in the
public mind with the Bryan doctrine of world peace.
May it not be used instrument to bring about
peace with Mexico?
The people of that country are turbulent, and one
of the lies in their drink If their convvial
habits be changed if they can be made to drink

The Negro in War

10 tne Edltor OF the ENenlnB STAR
Sir-Your editorial bearing upon the
subject, "Colored Men in the War"
appearing in the Evening Star of
April % is at once timely and
thoughtful. Without a doubt you
have expressed the solid truth, and
sound logic permeates your entire
discussion of the matter.
l know that l voice the sentiments
of many intelligent and sound
minded negroes when I thank you for
this expression of so important a
matter.
Mr.. Editor, the discrimination of
which you speak Is assuredly unfair.
If the negroes are considered fit lot
of men to recruit from in time of war,
should they not also be considered
fit lot of men to be ranked as com
ponent parts of an organized military
reason why they should not be so
considered You say very pro-
nouncedly that 1T should be the
privilege of every citizen, white or
black, to fight the battles of his coun-
try, and the record of the American
negro, as a soldier, Is creditable."
And, Mr.. Editor, do you not think
that this country should make it its
business to protect its citizens when
Cley are deprived OF the JUST anu
due processes of the law, when they
are denied the social customs which
life and liberty call for, and which go
hand in hand with Justice? If Amer
lea can call out a whole army to pro-
tect its citizens in a foreign land, do
you not also think that she could at
least call out a battalion to protect
citizens who are being tarred and
feather and burnt alive at the stake.

America must learn to straighten out

ChiCagO's Automobiles

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
While stopping in Chicago recently
at the Young Women's Christian
Association on Michigan avenue,
was sitting in my room in the Sec
ond story, resting, and watching the
traffic go by; and of a sudden 1t oc-
cured to me that 1 never remembered
seeing so many automobiles before
AS ] had two or three hours still
to wait for my train, I thought
would count them for pass-time not
thinking 1 would be so surprised at
the number, for In just twenty-three
and one-half minutes, by my watch
there were just six hundred and
eighty-two that had passed and then
the maid knocked at my door. l was
sorry, as I would have liked to kept
on counting for the even half-hour
at least Every time l hear Chicago
mentioned, always see automobiles.
OF course it was during the busy hour
between eight and nine o'clock when
Chicago society Is on the way for
it's evening amusement and various
pleasures. A. s.

Somewhere 1 have seen a picture
called debt Sitting Beside the
Chauffeur" What splendid thing it
would be if every one who longs for
an automobile and is willing to mort
gage the home, the business or other
personal or real property to obtain II
could have this picture confronting
him daily. 1t is said that in one West
ern city an automobile concern has
mortgages on 1000 homes or bust
nesses. This would indicate that the
American people are going mad on
the subject of keeping up appear
ances. Isn't 1t about time that we
were getting through living this
empty life of pretense? Isn't 1t about
time that we got down to realities?
Sooner or later the people who
know us will measure us pretty &C
curately We are labeled all over
with earmarks which are telltales OF
our real standing. Don't fiatter your
self that you are measured by your
pretences. We radiate our realities
not what we do but what we are Is
only going out from us and telling the
tale of our life.
1t is overvaulting ambition, selfish
ness, the everlasting striving ana
struggling in the most unnatural way
to keep up appearances, which causes
much of the unhappiness in life
Why is it that people burn out their
lives with discomfort and misery,
struggling, striving, making slaves OF
themselves to keep up appearances,
without knowing what real enjoy
ment, real happiness means?
Recently a young man on small
salary told me that it cost him from
SIS to 500 an evening to take a girl
to a theatre and to supper at an ex-
pensive restaurant afterwards. is II
any wonder that so many young men
in moderate circumstances remain
single and that vicious results fol-
low such abnormal living?

A KNOCKOUT FOR THE HENNEssY ACT.

Senator Hennessy has written columns of matter
to prove that his home rule bill which enacted
statute, is all right consttutionally and in all
other respects His views about the law have been
extensively printed and highly Endorsed by several
newspapers that know much about laws and con-
situations as Senator Hennessy does and probably
nearly as much as Governor Fielder.
Now comes an eminent former justice of the Su-
preme Court famous for his constitutional lore, who
says the Hennessy act is unconstitutional and void
This authority is Bennett Van Syckel, whose opinions
always had the highest respect of the New Jersey
bar Indeed his opinion in this virtually settles
it. But will it convince the Bergen county senator
who imposed worthless statute upon the State and
insisted that it was good?

Japan S Currency System

The Japanese currency system is
very simple and is based upon gold
basis. The unit of value is a yen.
This equals SO cents in gold, according
to our United States values. writes
Clyde Wilmer in the Buffalo Times.
One yen is divided into 100 sen. Each
of the latter is worth lust One-half of
IN American cent. The japanese sen
Is the equivalent of 10 rim, and the
smallest japanese coin consists of a
5-rin piece, the equivalent of one
quarter of an American penny.
The currency media is composed of
paper notes, silver, nickel and copper.
The Japs have their paper money in
one, five, ten yen notes and upward
The silver money comes in 10, 20 aud
50-sen pieces. The smallest nickel
piece is valued at 5 sen. Then come
the copper coins. These are valued at
2 sen, sen and rim. This is the
substance of the entire currency
system in Japan when you step into
a money changers to procure the CON
of the realm.

country. History will corroborate
that. You say that without doubt
hundreds of able-bodied Jersey
negroes in the State would be glad
to enlist" You are doubtless cor
rect, and while many people would
probably consider 1t narrow and
selfish should the negro refuse to en-
list merely because of spleen or re-
venge, yet, all things bling considered,
does it not remain a question as to
whether or not he would be justified
if he refused to enlist? Mr.. Editor,
is there not some tangible grounds
for his justification should matters
take such a turn? The affairs of
America should be so prosecuted as
to permit of no circumstances what
ever provoking a question relative to
the Justification of the colored man
enlisting for war.
The negro will always do his duty
when war is in progress, and from
now on American patriots and Chris
tan gentlemen certainly should con-
slider 1t part of their duty to see to
1t that the country does its proper
share in protecting the defenceless
negro who is ever ready to protect
America In time of stress and battle.
Right is right, and that cannot be
denied.
Very truly yours,

The line of strategy said to be in view at
Washington that of sitting tight until Villa de-

the first suggested is that of satisfaction for

he must salute the flag Now if Villa drives the die

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours
BY MARY MARSHALL.
MAY 2
Catherine the Great
Copyrighted 1914.
iAlaai4&s.,l4--

May is the birthday OF a woman
who vies with Queen Elizabeth and
the late empress of China for the po-
sition of the greatest woman ruler
of history. This is Catherine the
Great, who was born in 1929 She did
more for Russia in every way than
any other sovereign save Peter the
Great. It has been said that she
found ST. Petersburg village OF
novels and left it a city of brick ana
marble. She encouraged lmmlgra-
ton, introduced incubation Tor
smallpox, did more than any previous
monarch for the cause of public edu-
cation, built hospitals, colleges, can
ais and fortresses such as had never
been seen in Russia before. In short
she did more good for Russia than
any other woman In history. And
yet-such are the contradictions OF
history-in private life and in her
immediate influence on those about
her she has seldom been matched
in wickedness.
Catherine was not born to her
great position, but she won it by her
wonderful beauty and magnetism oil
personality. She was an unimportant

In the April American Magazine
James Montgomery Flagg, the Ia
NOUS wit and artist, contributes an
amusing piece In words and pictures
entitled 1.-THE Care and Feeding of
Husbands" Following is an extract
Have you a little husband in your
home?
Don't smoker and look self-con-
scious-if you would stop to consider
the large number of licenses taken
out every year you would realize it's
quite the proper thing. These almost
human companions are becoming the
rage all over the country. Didn't
you go to the Husband Show at Mad
ison Square Garden? OF course, you
did. And you must remember what
excited rivalry there was, how, no
sooner did one woman choose a par
ticular pet than every other woman
in the garden made a rush for II,
whether 1t was the kind she wanted
or not!
women are always asking what
sort of a husband they should keep.
OBVIOUSLY, 1t depends on what sort
of an establishment you have. If you
have a large Tudor mansion In the
country, miles and miles from the
railroad, 1t would be all right to keep
one of the large sporting kind.
Whereas, If you have, a tiny apart
ment in town, 1t would be safe to keep
one of the home loving toy husbands.
The big ones certainly are more i'm
pressive to your friends, and it is, of
course, harder for this kind to hide
from you.
"a great deal of shilly-shallying
may be avoided if you are lucky
enough to be presented with some
ones husband. say by some woman's
friend who is going abroad and
doesn't care to take him with her.
But, generally speaking, it is wiser to
purchase in the open market. Sub
scribe to the Husbands Weekly and
keep in touch with the shows and
know which ones are taking prizes.
Remember that, although a mongrel
isn't much to look at. it is apt to
give as much satisfaction as a COM
panion and a thoroughbred.

chosen to be the bride of the heir to
the Russian throne. She came to
Russia when she was sixteen, and
found in her young bridegroom a
man of the lowest moral character.
But Catherine was not a princess to
sink down under neglect or to mourn
over the sins of her husband. She
adapted herself to the situation, and
when her husband wanted to divorce
her in order to marry another prin-
cess who had caught his fancy,
Catherine managed, through the help
of her powerful favorite, to have her
husband deposed in her favor, and
then without a scruple she had him
strangled.
In GATHERINGS great work for Rus
STA she was aided by Succession Of
powerful favorites, each of whom
served his day, and each of whom,
daring to aspire to become the hus-
band of the powerful Catherine, was
put away for his uccessor-impris-
oned or disgraced. 1t is said that she
lavished about sixty million dollars
on her various lovers, and accounted
the sum not too great price for the
valuable cooperation and aid they
gave her in the all-absorbing duty OF
ruling Russia.
