The long absent schooner Arctic arrived in the roadstead yesterday from Hooper bay where the vessel has been virtually marooned since last the little vessel was removed from its resting place on the shore of the the bar at the ent .i iec 10 the bay only through labor of the most severe type. The channel inside the bay is both shallow and narrow and the crew was compelled to drag the vessel out by planting deadmen and literally hauling her over the mud flats. Capt. Dalby says that the mud was fearful and moving about in it was labor of the most severe type. Anchors would not hold in the oozy mixture and he was compelled to buy a portion of a house 10 convert into deadmen in order to secure the necessary anchor age for his tackle. The work of get ting the Arctic to deep water was made still more difficult during the last few days by strong wind which swung the vessel about and frequently laid her broadside to the line of prog gress. By the time the schooner was landed across the bar the entire crew was almost exhausted and all were visibly shy of their accustomed avoirdupois when they arrived here. Some slight repairs will be made to- day and the schooner will then enter the coasting trade. The first sailing will be to Teller.

policyholders.

GRAND LODGE X. OF p. OF VIR-
GINIA WINS SUIT.

The Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia, at Washington, handed
down a decision Friday, April 18th,
Justice Mccoy presiding, in which it
was decided that the Grand Lodge,
Knights of Pythias of Virginia, was
wrongfully expelled from the Su-
preme Lodge, Knights of Pythias, N.
A., S. A, E., A., A. & A. This is the
elimination favorably to the Grand
Lodge, K of p, of Virginia, of suit
instituted by that body against the
Supreme Lodge to restrain that tri-
bunal from enforcing the proclama-
tion of the Supreme Chancellor sus-
pending the Grand Lodge of Virginia
and all the members in the subordi-
nate lodges in that grand jurisdiction
from the Order
At the session of the Supreme
Lodge at Baltimore, the action of the
Supreme Chancellor was sustained
and a resolution adopted expelling the
| Grand Lodge, X. of P. of Virginia
from the Order. A restraining order
was obtained from Mr.. Justice Ashley
M. Gould of the Supreme Court of
the District of Columbia, forbidding
the Supreme Chancellor from enforc-
ing his own proclamation or the de-
cree of the Supreme Lodge.
At the session of the Supreme
Lodge at Columbus, o., the injunction
or restraining order was not obeyed
and the Grand Lodge, X. of P. of Vir-
ginia, through counsel and with the
concerted action of the Supreme Rep
resentatives, John Mitchell Jr., Thorn

MEN MARRIED SINCE WAF
BEGAN WILL NOT BE Ex-
EMPT FROM SERVICE.

Washington, April 10. - The
hundreds of young men who
rushed to the marriage license
bureaus when it was learned
that married men were to be ex-
empted from military duty are to
have their pains for nothing.
The war department today
ruled that all men who have been
married since the declaration that
a state of war existed viii be
liable to military duty just as
single men are.
The ruling came from the de-
partment after receipt of reports
from all parts of the United
States said that men were un-
doubtedly rushing into marriage
in order to escape military duty

HENNINe's FOR SHOES.

So popular is this shoe store for
best shoes and popular prices, that
the public, in spite of the increased
prices of household articles and wear
ing apparel. still patronize the firm
of Henning in more than an ordinary
manner Special attention to Gus
toners and new patrons is the basis
of success, and the sale of spring
shoes at very moderate prices will
help to establish the value of having
such firm in our city, defying compe-
tition in quality and price. Visit
early and secure a bargain.

High Cost of Living

" HE high cost of living" will
be a mild name or very
modified term in expressing
the great increase or the high
prices that will be attached to our
food products during this war pc
riod, and the people of Colorado
must busy themselves at once in
moving the heads of our state and
city government to action that
will hinder the corporations that
control the market from obtaining
the great profits that they gener-
ally make in perilous times like
these. In previous conflicts,
wealth of vast proportions has
been acquired from the masses
they being powerless to do any
thing to combat with the steady
increase in the price of foodstuffs,
and now that a recurrence threat
ems, strong representations should
be made to the Governor, the
Mayor and any other authority for
a proper adjustment which will be
more beneficial than distressing
to the public. OF course the say
ing, "the people will stand for
anything" has lost its force, and
If we have representatives pos
sessing the welfare of the COM
munity at heart, there ought to be
good reason to believe that the
present is an opportunity for them
to prove their worth and honest
intentions. The President has is
sued his warning against unfair
treatment of the American people
in this particular by those who
seize such unfortunate times in
the history of a country to multi
ply their millions by draining our
last financial resources, unmind-
full of our inability to exist, and
as the necessity arises for federal
action, so should it be for state.
The cry Shortage, of crop" can
be stopped right in Colorado, II
certain advantages will be afford
ed the farmer in the way of none
tary assistance from the loan
funds, ETC.; and if there is an in
crease in the development of
products, prices should not reach
an abnormal degree 1t would
serve a very valuable purpose,
then, if any commission appointed
by the Governor or the Mayor
would get down to work right
away and probe the workings of
these merchants who are not sat
isfied with fair margin of profit,
but who will oppress us to the
greatest to fill their Golfers and
satisfy their greed of gain. We
hope our authorities will expedite
and save us from this wretched

Mr.. ]. D. d. Rivers,
Dear Sir-The Woman's Elec-
ton Committee wishes to thank
you for your very fine editorial
on the school question. We see
that you understand the situa-
tion perfectly and that you real
ize that concerted action must be
taken against the miserable pol
itics which at present rules our
public schools.
The three candidates indorsed
by the Civic and Commercial AS
sociation have no personal gain
in view in their election to the
School Board. They simply want
as do we all, efficient, clean
schools for our children. Thank
ing you again for your co-opera-
ton, l remain,
Yours sincerely,
JENNIE H. BAKER, Sec.
The above letter, received by us
Wednesday of this week, is another
acknowledgment of the position of the
Colorado Statesman and what it stands
for. There are times when in defense
of our race and the prosecution OF
wrongs perpetrated by the white citi
zens of our community, we are
thought to be harsh in our denuncia
ton of such wrongs, and some mar
row-minds try to institute actions de-
structive to our success and the life
of the paper; but, with our determine
ton to be an advocate for right at all
times and under all circumstances, we
are grateful to individuals, organiza'
tions or any other sources that &C
knowledge our help to the people ir-
respective of class, creed or color.
When it comes to public service,
where success or failure affects the
people in general, there is no time for
differences as to color or class, and
the school question of Denver, Colo
rado, MUST be looked upon from the
standpoint of WHOLE and not a
PART. 1t is, therefore, with that
spirit, that we advise the electors OF
the City and County of Denver to be
specially interested in this school
election and prove by their vote on
Monday, May 7th, that men elected
for the government of our schools
must be of type that insures the
confidence of the people and whose
interest in the welfare of our educa-
tional system, being undivided, will
