Negroes, Attacked in North, Seek Refuge
in Ouasi-Southern State.


The fact should not be overlooked
that it is the Illinois city of East St
Louis and not St Louis. Mo. which
has recently been the scene Of race
riots involving great destruction of
lives and property. If such an event
had occurred in u Southern town, it
would have been the occasion of COL
umns of editorial comment by the
New York Evening Post, the Boston
Transcript and other papers of the
same class and would have been used
to demonstrate the prevalence of the
mob spirit in the Southern States
and the uncertainty of the tenure
by which negroesmaiutain their right
to existence in this section of the
country. Yet the case in point, like
a comparatively recent similar horri-
BILE occurrence in Springfield Ill, the
central point of Mr. Cannon's con-
gressional district, will be dealt with
as of no special significance by the
journals we have mentioned and they
will fail utterly to read the lesson
that is furnished by the spectacle of
crowds of affrighted negroes fleeing
across the Mississippi to Southern
territory to escape the blind fury dis
played toward their mere presence
in a Northern community. The NOR
al of the tale is that the negro is
safer in the South than in the North
or West. Here political and social
equality are denied him and indivi-
dual criminals are held to rigid &C.
count for certain nameless offenses:
but the negroes as class are objects
of kindly feeling, many fields of oc-
cupation are open to them and they
fill a useful place in the general pro-
gress of the South's industry. There
the negro is looked on with dislike
and jealousy by the masses. Compe-
tition with his labor is resented by
all grades of workmen and when one
negro gives just cause of offense
engeance is visited on all Of his race
who chance to be within reach of it.

State Firemen TOMeet
In Ge0rget'n Next Year

The State Firemen's convention,
held last week at Colorado Springs,
selected Georgetown as the next
meeting place of the association.
The untiring efforts of the del
egation from Georgetown, who o
worthly represented Georgetown
at this assembly, cannot be praised
too highly, and the benefits which
Georgetown will receive will speak
for themselves.
After their strenuous efforts to
land the convention, which will
mean SO much to Georgetown. it
was rather a severe shock to the
firemen, when upon returning
home they learned that the salary
of the chief of the department had
been discontinued by the town
board of selectmen, and the salary
of the secretary Of the department
had been reduced one half, but
the members of the department
are determined to carry out the
plans for the convention in 1915
in spite of the efforts Of the
officials to hinder and discourage
them. and if cooperation is re.
fused, drastic measures will be
taken by the department.
Georgetown now finds itself
without the services of a night
watch, and added to this fact the
apparent opposition of the officials
to aid in promoting and financing
the convention will, before long
manifest itself, and there promises
to be "something doing" before
the end is reached.

Many Enjoy Trip To
Mt. McClellan'S Summit

The day was an ideal one, and
it was a most congenial crowd
which accepted the invitation for
trip over the Argentine d Grays
Peak railway Monday to the Sum-
nit of Mount Mcclellan, where
the columbines and snow mingle
and where the rocks reign supreme.
The trip to Silver Plume was
made in autos, and there the gas
oline motor cars were in waiting
for the party, composed OF about
eighty representative people from
Idaho Springs, Georgetown and
Silver Plume including Idaho
Springs famous Blazing Arrow
band.
Two cars and an open erailer
were used, and the trip from start
to finish was grand beyond descrip-
tlon-the ideal of a mountainIscen
trip being fully realized. The
ascent to the summit is accom-
plished by zig-z course con-
sisting of switch backs, thus over
coming a heavy grade in the short
est possible time. while absolute
safety is assured. The track clings
to the cliff of rugged rocks, and
passes mountains honeycombed
with mines. The train literally
climbs a flight of stairs. At
Pavilion Point a summer resort
has been established bearing the
name of Scenic City. From this
point Georgetown, Silver Plume
and even Empire are plainly visi-
bic. Three thousand feet below
are the High Bridge and Far
Famed Georgetown Loop. Six
tracks, one above the other, are
plainly visible. In the pavilion
an immense fireplace has been
constructed. faced with beautiful
specimens of glittering ore gather
ed from the adjacent mines. The
trees and general surroundings
give an inspiration to this resort
retreat that bears the distinction
of being built on the point of a
mountain.
At the famous old mining camp
of Waldorf short stop was made,
and the place shows considerable
activity. The scenery changed
constantly until the summit of
Mt. Mcclellan was reached, l4OO7
feet above sea level, from which
lofty mountain can be seen one
sixth of the entire area of Colorado
aud 1O6 of Colorado's highest
peaks.
On the summit of this lofty
mountain the band played APP
propriate music, the movie man
took motion pictures of the crowd,
and a basket lunch was enjoyed
by all.
The party was in charge of

genial passenger agent. who has

and of various species and of the
most brilliant hues.
"This summer has been about
an equal division of rain and sun
shine. Yesterday the temper
ature was 50 in the shade, but it
gets very cool at night, often
positively cold if one is anywhere
near the bay. From the middle of
May until the middle of June it
never got dark. On the 18th we
took an S-second exposure at l:l5
in the morning and got very fair

about 1l:3O at night and is up

move in and out of the inlet with

Susitna river and is carried into
the harbor by the tide. The
scenery over the inlet is grand.

Alaska's sunsets and cloud effects
Even the moon seems, oh, SO much
larger and looks more like the sun
Watching it from ''our cabin
door it seems to come up from
among the trees. The northern
lights are grand, also. They seem
to be like the milky way, only sc
much grander and on mucl
larger scale. They formed an al
most perfect dome in the skies las

one had taken a huge brush ant

FLANDERS TO strengthen the lines there. This fact has
bee made known. not merely by the general intelligence
work of the allies armies. but by the capture of many Of
these men in the numerous drives which have been made
upon the German lines. It is evident chat an army of
considerable size has recently been transferred from the
Russian to the Austro- Italian front. and it is the arrival
Of this force which has brought disaster to the Italians
and saved the Austrians froue destruction. N

There is a different story to tell of the operations
in the west. In the Aisne district the French, who have
completed a successful thrust. against the German lines
in which they advanced some two miles and held their
ground. and captured over 10000 prisoners, with a great
number of large guns and quantities of other material.
This sudden thrust has brought General Petain within
sight, and within some seven miles OF Laon. which has
been one Of his main detectives for some time.
The British under General Haig have continued their
hammering, and new advances have been made at sew
eral points in the Ypres salient. There has been spec
ulation for some time-as to the probability Of ANOTHER
Strategic retreat on the part Of the Germans, as 1t has
been evident that a retirement must soon be necessary.
With both British and French advancing regularly and
taking from the Germans position after position in critical
places it has been evident that the time must soon come
when the Germans must withdraw or subject great sec
tons of their armies to the danger Of capture or destrue-
zion. One writer believes that in the Aisne sector prep
arations for such a retirement had been made and the
movement was actually under way. and that this ac-
counts for the remarkable success of the French stroke
and the confusion into which the enemy was thrown.

Among the developments Of the week the entrance
of Brazil into the war against Germany is to be noted.
This has been considered inevitable for some time. as
sentiment in the great southern republic was ripe for
such a move. One by one Germany is having massed
against her the forces of almost the entire world. Her
central position and the preparation that she has made
through a long series of years have enabled her thus far
to resist the pressure which grows stronger every day.
But, while she is still powerful, and may continue her
resistance for a long time. there is not the slightest pros
pect that she will ever again be able to resume the Of
fensive.
