MRS. MARY B. TALBERT of Buff
falo, N Y, president of the National
Association of Colored Women, who.
firm in the belief of the God given
right of co-equality of humanity, has
for number of years in her selfsac-
rificing and self-denying manner, ad-
vocated the cause of uplift of her race,
and since her election to the position
of president has worked assiduously
to accomplish that which will be per-
manently beneficial to her race. Her
pride in serving others entirely for
getful of self creates an endearment
among her corps of workers as well
as those she has rescued that can only
be understood by them, as hers is a
work of love. Her mission among us
will serve to strengthen those who
were becoming weary in the beautiful
work of service. and the hope that
she will be retained in her position
for another term to complete her prop
aganda is voiced on every hand. We
are glad to have you in Denver and
we trust the impressions made on you
and your associates may help to re-
move the peculiar opinions cherished
by some of the West. A long life and
further career of usefulness are our
best wishes for you.

in the Civil war, unconstitutional, the
other denying the right of a munich
pality to segregate Negroes. our
president, Moorfield Storey, filed
briefs in both of these cases on6 won
them for the cause of the Negro ard
of justice.
Another monument to which we can
point is the officers training camp at
Des Moines. Major Spingarn, our
chairman, was in the first training
camp at Plattsburg where he endeav-
ored to secure admittance for Ne
groes but without successes. He be-
came convinced that a separate camp
was necessary if we were to have Ne
groes as leaders in this war, and by
his exertions, backed by the associa-
tion, the administration accepted the
Negro as an officer and authorized
the camp at Des Moines. We now
have over a thousand Colored men
holding commissions and | do not be-
lieve that there are among the white
officers a finer, more highly educated,
more moral group of men.
I'VE are battling against lynching
and mob violence, and if there is an
editor of Importance in this country
who does not know about the shock
ing crimes that are committed against
the black man, 1t is mis- fault, not ours.
We have sent out hundreds OF thou
sands of copies of our Investigations
of the Texas lynchings, the Tennessee
lynchings,- the Louisiana lynchings,
the east st. Louis riots, and so on. 24I
Colored men and women have been
killed by mob violence since our coun-
try entered this war. We believe that
the people of this country will not toll
arate this mOh violence hut will de-
mand the punishment of the offenders
if they are only familiar with the
facts. We favor legislation making
lynching federal offense.
"Colored and white soldiers today
across the seas are fighting for liber-
ty in Europe. We have helped to put
them there, not as laborers, as was
first attempted, but as soldiers. Ana
while they are fighting for liberty
abroad we are fighting for liberty at
home, liberty for them and for their
families. We mean to have good
record for them when they return.

modeled-a saving of at least $1,000

LABOR-SAVING HARVESTER
TO BE USED IN NORTHWEST

One thousand improved wheat-har-
vesting machines, known as combines,
will be used in Washington state and
other states of the northwest this year
according to farm-help specialists of
the United States department of ag-
riculture, and will effect a great saw
ing in labor. These machines, which
cut the heads from wheat and thresh
the grain as they travel across the
field, can be operated by two persons
and each machine will harvest from
$50 to 400 acres of wheat during a
season. They are marked labor saw
ers over the old type combine which
required from Is to 20 men.

dislOyal, he went on. "If you and !
are going to have democracy all over
the world, we must have just sys-
tenn of taxation and not be penalized
for industry"
A better marketing system with
cost basis for the farmers prices, is
another problem for the unified far
mers to meet, said the state grange
master.
The railroads after the war consti-
tute another problem for we must
either continue government ownership
or recognize one vast single system
for private prosperity. The mer-
chant marine which is being built up
must be in the control of the people
to protect the farmer, said the speak
ers. The packing plants, the rural
credits and many other problems of
the farmer demand that he use his
great power to obtain the right con-
ditions. Central committees must be
organized to meet these problems, the
committees protected and National
War Council established.
The difficulty, according to the
grangers, is not to deal with these
problems themselves, but with the
monopolies. Out Of the civil war
monopoly conditions arose which have
cursed the country, they said. "The
economic laws Of the country" said
Mr.. Hampton, "must be in harmony
with the economic laws of the uni
verse;"

HASSEEN KAISER
AND MAY FIGHT
STEVENS COUNTY MAN DE.
SCRIBES APPEARANCE OF
THE WAR LORD
Would Like to See Him Again When
The Americans March Into
Berlin

and a native of Stockholm, Sweden,
who has been running the stationary
engine at the Draper sawmills at
Aladdin, went to Spokane Wednesday
morning to answer summons to ap-
pear before a local board there where
he registered for the draft last year.
Having never declared his purpose
to become a citizen of the United
States, and having wife and seven
months-old baby depending on him
for support, Mr.. Sundin, by all the
rules Of the draft, could not be forced
into the military service, yet he says
he would not be averse to the exper-
ience of again meeting the kaiser of
all the Germans face to face. Mr..
Sundin, though young man, has
travelled much in Europe. His par
ents died when he was quite young
and circumstances forced him into
the world, and, naturally, strange ex-
periences beset his path, but not more
strange, perhaps, tina n those that
have beset the wanderings of other
people similarly situated. Mr.. Sun
din has good face, a cool refreshing
countenance indeed and his wife is
charming young American girl. Both
seem strongly attached to each other
When he was asked at the local
board office here if he had any aver
sion to going to the war as COM
batant, he answered that if this coun-
try wanted his services he would not
place an obstruction in the way, ex-
cepting that he would want to know
when overseas that his wife and baby
would be cared for.
Saw the Kaiser Twice
"l have seen the kaiser twice in my
life" he said, "and | would like to
see him again when the American
boys get to Berlin" When asked
what sort of looking man the kaiser
was, he remarked in a reminiscent
way:
III have seen the kaiser twice, as |
have said, once in Stockholm when a
boy, and after ! was grown | saw
him in London, and both times had an
opportunity to observe him very close
ly He is not large man, and the
normally drawn pictures of him are
fairly good likenesses. He has a
OF cat faca nnI kn
square in the face and one would
think he had never batted an eye in
all his life. His forehead is full and
a very smooth skin covers the unbar-
bered cOuntenance, but there is one
marked feature ! observed that seems
never to show in his pictures. Wheth-
er it is scar or deep depression,
don't know, but there appears Il fur
row deep enough to accommodate half
the thickness of ones finger travers-
ing the center of his forehead across
the center from his nose to the hair
line. 1t was SO pronounced that it
made a deep impression on my mind
both times, and once | was within
six feet of him when he was in
Stockholm"
Since coming to America Mr.. Sun
din has spent most of his time in
Canada. He came to Spokane some
three years ago, married there and
made that his home until coming to
Stevens county to work as an en-
gineer.

who have but one and get through
with 1t quickly and without any seri-

you are likely to be one OF the fort,l-
