FRIENDSHIP.
By M. A. MAJORS, MD.

IN recountlng many elements tnat
go to make ones life round of joy
and happiness we come upon the
word Friendship.
We do not have to go to the die
tionary to look up its meaning. No
one needs to be told what friendship
is, nor how it acts, its effect, and
what it implies. Like the sun it is
viwed from many angles.
Everyone has in a degree felt its
influence, the joy Of. its far-reaching
power. As it applies to individuals,
so it applies also to races.
Fortunately, for our people, we
have always had good friends to ad
vocate our cause, look after our in
terests, and frequently becoming mis-
understood because of a spirit of fair
play.
We like to think of Wendell Phil
lips, the Lovejoys, Robt- G. Ingersoll,
Henry Ward Beecher, VIM. Lloyd
Garrison, John Brown, Frederick
Douglass, Abraham Lincoln, Justice
Harlan and a heaven-blssed host Of
white-ro martyrs who fougth for
the rights of humanity and died feel
ing they had done something to win
human friendship of despised race.
At this period of American history,
no era is so impoverished by the
paucity Of real stalwart human car
acters, men, real manly men. There
are few, it is true, that are brave
and courageous, who have the noble
spirit of Beecher, Harlan, and Lin
coin. The age seems to be branded
with human cowardice. Little, petty
contemplate man fees, who lack all
the elements of manly strength and
character, who either are jealous or
afraid of something that make them
weak in the presence of courageous
Negroes; whose hearts burn with the
hope of future grandeur. Educated
Negroes, self-determined men, who
have always had to depend upon q
form of endurance found only in the
Negro race.
So when a white man comes along
like Walliam Hale Thompson or SEN
ator William E. Mason, or Martin
B. Madden, the cheap politician can
see only in such greatness of heart
among such men as men Of some kind
of selfish policy with an axe to grind.
We are to be proud Of William
Hale Thompson, and all such men
who consider that we have rights just
as other men, and are willing to be
criticised by little consumate pigmies
whose brains are about as dull as q
candle in q skull.
Then we must not lose sight of
the fact that we are measuring up
10 the standard on all the sober
graees Of humanity. No one may feel
very long that it is condeseension to
pay proper regard to the Negro.
4 All must remember that the Negro
has nothing to do with color and
skin, but If brain and capability are
10 be the standards Of white meet.

Kaiser, that he even sought to en-
trap the British navy at Kiel through
the pretense Of friendship, which
would have ended in the destruction
of England's greatest war power, and
even England's life, had it not been
for the mistrust of her great sea cap
tains-
of some unseen force that saved the
ten agreements, made by Germany,
But it was only the Intervention
British Lion from destruction.
Charters, peace treaties and writ
had seemed to rasp the great dignity
of Wilhelm. His pronounciamento and
dictum at once turned these into
mere scraps of paper, because he had
found excuse, he thought, to let loose
his great dogs of war and surprise
mankind to humiliating bewilderment
and humbleness. He reckoned without
his host but he did not know the
cumulative spirit of the men Of
France, England, America, Japan and
Italy.
He knew that the Russian front
was a weak and helpless force, but
he did not know or dream of the
mechanical genius of the world out
side of his empire. Invincible it
seemed for a time the imbecility Of
force and might would trample the
elements of peace in the dust Of Bel
gium.
Then, as time wore on and ammu-
milton, guns, implements of the en-
gineer, the surveyor, the road con
struction, the bridge building and the
great ships began to carry men and
provisions, the Red Gross, the Saliva
ton Army. The soldiers Of France,
England and Canada were being cut
down as with a scythe in the hands
of a devil-man. Then America spoke
with four million white and black sol
diers.
Starvation had come to the Ger
mans, as might had come to the Bel
gians. Prices went soaring. The
stomach has to be filed, clothes wers
| in tatters, leather was running short
shoes are needed, lead and iron wert
giving out, church bells were melted
! into buIlets, horshes into shrspne
and thus the play passed its china,
and wilhelm decided that Holland

THE PEACE TREATY.

The peace treaty with Germany
and the great league of nations to
guarantee the pence of the world
have occupied the attention of the
civilized world since Nov. 18th, 1913.
It goes without saying that 1T is
a great stride in the civilization Of
humanity and ranks with the cele-
brated Magma Charta of King George
and the Constitution Of the United
States by Thomas jefferson, Alexan-
der Hamilton, John Quincy Adams
and James Monroe.
Germany had for more than fifty
wears been a disturbing factor in the
peace of the world. Under the mill
tary spirit of Bismarck, Won Moltke
and the Hohenzollerns Europe had
become the prey of vindictive spirit
of the pomp of the German nations,
and might was in the ascendency with
a strangling threat against the help
lessness of smaller nations The dare
devil spirit of the Kaiser had run the
gauntlet of every form of trickery
and duplicity. Whatever was to be
considered law and order must be
dictated by Germany, and the rest
of mankind had almost come to the
place where when mercy was to be
had from God, the Kaiser, who had
almost become q usurper Of the
throne, must be included.
The other potent forces Of the
world, including England, America,
France, Italy and Japan, had been
building along the lines Of peace,
building ships ever 10 make that
peace secure.

SPLENDID ART EXHIBIT

The splendid collection of pictures,
many of them masterpieces, which the
Glenwood schools had arranged to have
here were on exhibition at Armory hall
Thursday and Friday afternoon and
evening of this week.
A fine program was rendered, under
the direction of the schools, and short
lectures were given on some of the
most noted pictures, telling some i'm
portant facts in regard to the lives of
the artists and the circumstances con.
nected with the painting of their pic.
lures.
Splendid musical selections were
given at each session by the local tai
ent, one of the treats being the seleo.
tions rendered by the Municipal or
chestra on Thursday evening.
Mis- Clarissa Smith, who had tn,
program in charge, should be praised
very highly for the excellent way in
which she handled the exhibit, with
the assistance of the other teachers.

CHILD INJURED BY AUTO

Last Monday afternoon while Ora
Howard, the little daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charley Howard, was crossing
Grand avenue near Ninth street she
was struck by an auto driven by Harry
Sheriff..
1t is thought that the machine did
not run over the child, as no bones are
broken, but the little one was thrown
TO the ground and dragged a short dis
tance, the result being that she wa.
badly bruised and has been very sort
and nervous ever since, although i'm
proving nicely, and it is said she will
soon be able to again appear on the
streets.
Apparently no blame attaches u
young Sheriff. who had just met anoth
er car and, owing to the crowded con
dtion Of the street, could not see th'
child. He stopped his car As soon Al
possible and did all he could to save
the child. It was one Of those appar
emily unavoidable accidents from
which Glenwood has been quite FREQ NJ

Some people have one way of cele.
brating birthday, and some use an
other method, it being largely matter
of taste. But Rev. Edwin johnson this
year used plan which he is not eager
to duplicate, and for which he has not
applied for patent.
Last Tuesday was Mr.. johnson g
-th birthday, and he conceived the
idea that he could not better celebrate
the day than by tuning up his "fliv-
yer" and taking the family for ride
in the crisp evening air. Accordingly
Mrs. Johnson and the little Johnsons
were loaded into one of Henry Ford IS
rapid transit vehicles and they started
out to inspect the county road between
Glenwood and Carbondale.
All went well Irtil just peyond the
hardwick bridge Mr.. Johnson turned
lis head and made come remark to the
children sitting in the rear seat, when,
bing! down went the fliyver with its
occupants, over steep oank and head
ed Tor the Roaring Fork river at a
lively rate.

brought the machine to standstill
but not until one front wheel had been
completely demolished and the family
had been given real life-sized scare
from the like of which they hope they
may be spared hereafter. Stanage
found it necessary to get heavy tear
to pull the Lizzie out of the entangle
ments and then it was found that
aside from the smashed wheel, almost
no damage at all had been done to the
machine, but Mr.. johnson says he is
not in a hurry to have another birth
day, and he hopes the next one will be
little less exciting than the one just
past.

BOOBIES ARE SULI.EN,
BUT WILL SIGN

Coblenz, May 13.-The impression
gained by American officers through
talking with Germans regarding the
peace terms are that many of them arc
bitter and sullen, but are inclined to
resign themselves to accept any terms,
no matter how harsh. No concrete
plan of action has been suggested in
the event the German delegates at Yer
sailles refuse to sign the treaty.
American officers say the common
people in the occupied area have wide
ly divergent views, but that as whole
they appear more or less stunned.
Many of them seem crushed, but others
are showing a spirit of bravado.
One American who had circulated
freely among the civilians reported that
none of them expected that Germany
would accept the terms. They said
they could not see how the people
would be able to pay the indemnities
demanded if their commerce was re-
stricted and all their colonies confis-
Gated, and, in addition, Germany had
to cede territory belonging to the
mainland.
They asserted, furthermore, that the
internal resources of Germany alone
were insufficient to permit of the pay
ment Of indemnities for generations to
come.
An army intelligence summary out
lines reports received from various
civilian groups and individuals as
follows:
"Under existing conditions it is i'm
possible for Germany ever to pay its
war debts. Before the war Germany
had only 10000, 900, 900 marks in gold,
and the demand for pounds sterling in
gold or merchandise in the first two
years is absurd. How are we to pay,
where there are no goods-if we have
neither money nor credit with which to
purchase materials or ships, if ours are
taken by the alliesi'
Several civilians, according to the
summary, expressed the opinion that
the peace conditions were very hard,
but still were not as severe as some
had expected, and that they would
rather that Germany accept them than
invite consequences Of refusal.

LIGHTS AND
MAKE ROADS SAFE

Having grown up on farm 1 have
travelled more miles by horse than by
motor, although 1 now use car almost
exclusively. When living on the farm
and using the car for errands have
often had to drive on foggy and stormy
nights when the headlights of the car
would not penetrate the thick air for
more than a rod or two. Several times
I have run dangerously close to car
riages or wagons which I could not see
until practically on top of them, and
even with quick action and good brakes
it was hard to avoid collisions. With
slush or slime in the road and aleet
driving into the brakes it is dangerous
to depend upon the brakes to prevent
disaster.
In case of collision the man in
car, if he is driving slowly, has little to
fear sxespt perhaps . few cuts from
broken Windshield, but what about the
occupants of the carriage? A mud bug
gy is mighty poor protection against
the momentum of even a slow going
automobile. My neighbors were decent
folk and 1 had no desire to bump them
unexpectedly through Saint Peters
gate.
Regardless of what the law says or
whether we care to obey it, common
sense and the instinct of self preserva-
ton suggest that all vehicles, regard
less of their motive power, should carry
some sort of light showing plainly to
the front and rear In fog, snow, dust,
or drizzling rain small light is visible
much farther than one can see with the
best of headlights.
Even when the air is clear there is
danger when two motor cars are ap-
preaching each other with vehicle
without lights between them. No mat
ter whether the headlights are dimmed
or not, the dazzling effect Of the ap-
preaching lights is greater than the
Waniaat3oa d oas's own. In such
cases 7 have detected the presence Of
an unlighted carriage only by the
spark from horseshoe against the
macadam or the chance reflection of
my lights in the glass window of the
rear carriage curtain. Such accidental
means Of detecting the presence of o
fellow traveller cannot be depended on; (;
the margin of safety is too narrow.
Since it is impossible to secure com
plete safety on the roads when some
vehicles carry lights and others do not,
it should be the practice of every user
of the highways to display light
which will give warning Of his presence
whether the law demands it or not

DeHVeT, NoiO., may o, 1913
Editors of Colorado.
Gentlemen:
over, I want to take this occasion to
thank you, one and all, for the way
you handled the publicity during the
campaign.
Colorado led the rest of the Union
in the amount of publicity per capita
in all the other treasury department
drives and / am inclined to think that
we led in this drive, although I do not
know at this time.
At any rate, the campaign was so
conducted that we were the fourth
state to go over the top and he second
to go over the top by selling the bonds
direct to the people. Iowa and Michi,
gan reached their quota first, but their
banks underworld the loan. Oregon
reached its quota first through sales
to the people and Colorado was second
The direct sales to the people secured
wider distribution of the loan and
was really what the government
wanteed.
Again thanking you, 1 am
Yours very truly,
