Edwards Says He Will Retain Place THE ADVOCATE. WE CHEERFULLY PUBLISH ALL CRISP NEWS NOTES FROM ALL SECTIONS. VOLUME XII. Edwards Say Will AS MEMBER OF REPUBLICAN NA. TIONAL COMMITTEE FROM WEST VIRGINIA. Is a Progressive Espousing Cause of Col. Roosevelt and in Doing So, Says He Represents Wishes of Majority of Represents Wishes of Majority of Republicans. Huntington, Sept. 11.—Declarating that in espousing the cause of Theodore Roosevelt, he still represented the sentiment of West Virginia Republicans, Col. William Seymour Edwards here tonight, emphatically reiterated his avowed intention of retaining his seat in the Republican national committee notwithstanding reported charges of disloyalty that had been made. When shown a printed statement of Charles D. Hilles, chairman of the Republican National Committee, in which it was averred that, a meeting of the committee had been called "for the purpose of taking up charges which have been made against several members alleged to have been disloyal," Col. Edwards, who is openly supporting Roosevelt for president, expressed no surprise. "The word resign is not in my vocabulary," said Col. Edwards. "I was selected Republican national committee by an unanimous delegation, representing the will of the people of this state. "I still represent the sentiment of the Republicans of this State and I would be untruge to the people did I resign." Col. Edwards called Roosevelt the "moral nominee" of the Chicago Republican convention, and said that he was the candidate of the majority of honestly elected delegates. "I will not allow the committee to pass upon my Republicanism, said Col. Edwards. "I am willing to go to the people of West Virginia." Col. Edwards saw in the nomination of Oscar Strauss by the Progressives for governor of New York a masterstroke for the cause of Roosevelt. "He is a great man," said Col. Edwards in lauding the selection of the recent New York Progressive convention. Col. Edwards was on the way to Wheeling when here last night. Col. Edwards said that he found anywhere and he had a fund of stories of unexpected meetings with enthusiastic Bull Moosers even in apparently the most isolated districts. Col. Edwards believed, he said, that by a state ticket coalition such as won in Maine over the Democrats would prove undoubtedly successful in West Virginia, giving victory to state nominees largely Progressive, and selected by a convention controlled by Progressives, with separate electors for the presidential candidates. Mob Rushed Jail And Lynched Negro Negro is Hanged to a Telegraph Pole and Body Riddled With Bullets by Drink-Crazed Mob. Bluefield, Sept. 6.—Walter Johnson, the Negro who was accused of attempting to assault 14-year-old Neta White, by chloroforming her, when she found her alone at the home of her parents, and who was captured, identified by the girl and taken to the Princeton jail, was lynched last night by an infuriated mob of about 1,000 persons. The mob, inflamed by great draughts of whiskey, rushed the jail at an early hour this morning, secured Johnson, took him out and hanged him to a telegraph pole. The mob then filled the squirming body with revolver and rifle shots. A short time before the actual lynching, the mob had listened to speeches by Judge Maynard and Rev. T. S. Hamilton, urging them to let the law take its course, and its anger seemed to have been appeased. It is said a little dog frightened the brute away before accomplishing his purpose. Arreats of five suspected persons were made and the girl identified Johnson as the one who made the attempt. THE ADVOCATE. Johnson Predicts Victory In Michigan Progressive Vice Presidential Nominee Says His Party Will Carry Wolverine State. Detroit, Mich., Sept. 9.—Governor Johnson was in an optimistic frame of mind today when he made his last three speeches in Michigan before leaving for Illinois to begin his campaign for the Progressives. "I bear you greetings from the progressive state of California," he told a crowd at Port Huron late today, "and I am sure that after the November election you in Michigan will be able to greet California as a sister progressive state. After almost three days in Michigan I am convinced that the Progressives will sweep your state at the November election. I have come to this decision after talking to all classes, politicians and laborers, artisans and millionaires." The governor spent more time in Michigan than he has in any other state since he started his Eastern campaign. With three days' time to interview Progressives from almost every part of Michigan he made a close study of the situation. His statement today predicting success in Michigan was the first he had made about any certain state except his own. Governor Johnson made two speeches here and one at Port Huron. The first Detroit meeting was at an automobile plant, where several thousand men listened to him speaking from an automobile in a street during half of their lunch hour. The trip to Port Huron was made by trolley, and the speech delivered from the balcony of the courthouse to a large crowd assembled on the lawn below him. At the edge of the crowd, just below the balcony from which the Governor spoke, were a dozen veterans of the Civil War, who stood with bared heads throughout the address. The third meeting was held in the Armory here tonight. In all of his addresses the governor paid high tribute to Colonel Roosevelt. References to the former President brought great applause. "In Theodore Roosevelt we have the greatest leader of them all," the governor said. "They criticise him for using the big stick. Let me tell you that the executive of any state or nation who does not use the 'big stick' is unworthy of the people's trust." Governor Johnson departed tonight over the Michigan Central for Chicago, where he will arrive at 7:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. To Move Their Places of Business From Principal Street of Bluefield. Bluefield, W. Va., Sept. 10.—All Negro business men on Raleigh street received letters this afternoon commanding them to move from that street by Saturday night or they would be dynamited. The letters were signed "Lynching Committee" and the Negroes are in a state of panic, fearing that the lynching of Robert Johnson at Princeton last Thursday night may yet result in serious race war. The Negroes have appealed to the county and city authorities for protection. The special grand jury that was to have convened today to investigate the lynching was postponed until September 16. While the authorities did not give their reason for this action, it is believed that it was done in order that the excitement of the populace over the lynching might be eliminated to some extent. The postoffice authorities will investigate the sending of the threatening letters through the mails. Phoenix, Ariz., Sept. 11.—Progressives in Arizona cast a much greater vote than did the Republicans at yesterday's primary, according to returns so far received here. In nearly every precinct the Progressives ran ahead of the Republican ticket. The Democratic vote was heavy. A complete count is not expected for 48 hours. CHARLESTON, WEST VIRGINIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 12, 1912 "PUT THE HARNESS ON OLD BULL MOOSE." G.O.P. DEM ROBERT CARTER Democrats In Maine ARE DEFEATED BY PROGRES SIVES AND REPUBLICANS WORKING IN HARMONY IN MAINE. Latest Returns Show Allies Made Almost Clean Sweep, Electing Governor, Three Congressmen and Majority in the Legislature. Portland, Me., Sept. 10. The political overturn in yesterday's Maine state election, in which the Republicans won back the governorship, secured three of the four congressmen and a sufficient majority on a joint ballot in the Legislature to assure the election of a Republican United States senator became more apparent today with revised and additional returns. William T. Haines, of Waterville, Republican, was elected governor by a plurality of 3,557 over Governor Frederick W. Plaisted, Democratic candidate of Augusta. The vote, with 28 towns missing, was: Two years ago the vote for governor was: Bert M. Fernald (R.).....61,672 F. W. Plaisted, (D.).....73,425 The missing 28 towns, two years ago, cast 751 votes for the Republican candidate and 846 for the Democratic leaders. Congressman Asher C. Hiads, First district, and Frank E. Guernsey, Second district, Republicans, were re-elected by increased majorities, and Forrest Goodwin, Republican, supplanted Congressman Samuel W. Gould, Democrat, in the Third district. The Democratic candidate in the Fourth district, Congressman D. J. McGillicuddy, was re-elected. The new Legislature will stand on a joint ballot 94 Republicans and 78 Democrats, with ten districts yet to report. The State Senate will be made up of 22 Republicans and 8 Democrats, with one district missing. The House will be composed of 72 Republicans and 70 Democrats, with nine districts missing. This majority will be sufficient to elect Former Congressman Edwin C. Burleigh of Augusta as United States senator, in place of Senator Obadiah Gardner, who was appointed to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator William P. Fry, Republican. The Democrats made their campaign mostly on national issues. There was no definite division between the regular Republicans and the Progressives. The fact that the Democrats employed their greatest resources in an effort to carry the State and failed, does not auger well for their future in this state. Political observers were in some doubt as to the effect of the Republican victory and the attitude of the Progressive leaders regarding the national election in November. All of the Progressive leaders were actively identified with the Republican party in yesterday's election. A number of the Republican leaders have announced their intention to go on the sump for Colonel Roosevelt and in opposition to President Taft for reelection. Says Roosevelt Is Sure Winner Says Roosevelt Is Sure Winner Chairman Dawson is Confident. That Progresive Ticket Will be Victorious in the State and Nation. William M. O. Dawson, chairman of the executive committee of the Progressive party, left last night for New York where he will confer with other leaders of the new party. "Colonel Roosevelt will not only carry West Virginia, but he will be elected president of these United States," said the ex-governor before taking his train. The result in Vermont is pleasing to the Progressives in this city. "The result in Vermont indicates Colonel Roosevelt will carry the state in November election," said Chairman Dawson at the Progressive headquarters. This was based on the showing made in that state following a campaign of only two or three weeks, and the further fact that many of those who voted for the Republican nominee declared they would vote for Roosevelt, and that their vote was cast for the Republican nominee for governor because they had decided to do when there were but two candidates—Republican and Democrat—in the field. Matheny to Take Stump. It is announced that Hon. M. F. Matheny, of this city, will be the principal speaker at the court house at Pineville; Wyoming county, Monday evening, September 16, which will be the first meeting of the Progressives in that county. The Charleston orator will devote considerable of his time between now and November 5 in the interest of the Progressive party—fighting for Roosevelt and the regular Republican congressional, state and county tickets—nominated by the Progressives for they have shown they were in the majority in the primaries and conventions held. GRANDFATHER CLAUSE Little Rock, Ark., Sept. 10.—Meager additional returns today from the General State election in Arkansas yesterday indicate that only one constitutional amendment submitted to the people for ratification secured enough votes to insure its passage. This is the proposal to limit legislative sessions to sixty days. Statewide prohibition and the so-called grandfather clause amendment are believed to have failed. The Democratic state ticket headed by Congressman J. T. Robinson, candidate for governor, is known to have been elected by an overwhelming majority, although the returns are far from complete. A delightful trolley party was given Monday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Wright after which music and games were indulged in at the home of Miss Agnes Taylor, Winston street. Mrs. Claude Lowry returned Thursday day from Vermont where she spent the summer. White Men Sell Votes ONE-THIRD OF WHITE VOTERS IN ONE GEORGIA COUNTY CAN BE PURCHASED Startling Scandals Involving Leading Families Follows Report of Grand Jury Investigating Recent Hotly Contested Primary. Madison, Ga., Sept. 9.—The greatest vote-buying scandal in Georgia history was disclosed today when the Morgan County Grand Jury made known the result of its investigation into the recent Democratic primary. The grand jury charges that over 500 votes were bought and sold in the primary, and vote-buying has characterized every election held in Morgan County for the last 10 years. Twenty indictments were returned by the grand jury, and over 100 more bills will be returned. The indictments were returned on the evidence of the candidates who bought the votes. The grand jury summoned the candidates and offered them immunity if they would testify. The candidates accepted the offer and made a full confession, furnishing the jury the names of scores of men who sold their votes. The price of votes ranged from $1 up to $60. Crae man and his two sons received $180 for their three votes. The candidates stated that of the 2,000 voters in the county over 500 were on the market, and insisted on being bought in every election. The Judge of the City Court, the Solicitor General and every official chosen in the primary are said to be involved. The recent primary was the most hotly contested in the history of the county, and it was evident that the candidates were spending large sums of money, but no one ever thought that there were 600 white men in the county whose votes could be bought until the grand jury reported the result of its investigation. It is asserted that as long as the Negroes voted no white man's vote could be bought, but about 15 years ago it was whispered that a dozen men in a certain district would sell their vote. They would not sell outright, but they would accept pay for the time they lost from work, and would vote for the men who compensated them. The contagion spread until the grand jury declares nearly one third of the white votes are for sale in every election. Some of the vote-sellers have grown well-to-do as a result of the traffic. All the vote-sellers are white men as Negroes are not allowed to vote in Georgia Democratic primaries. Morgan is one of the oldest and wealthiest counties in Georgia. Its leading families are descended from the so-called anti-bellum aristocracy. BODY OF NEGRO Is Riddled With Bullets While Two Thousand Georgians Look on With Approval. Cumming, Ga., Sept. 10.—Mob spirit, which has been at fever heat here since the threatened race rioting Saturday, boiled over today, when several hundred white men stormed the local jail and riddled Ed Collins, a Negro, with bullets. The body of the Negro was mutilated with a crowbar and then dragged to the public square. In the presence of a crowd of over two thousand persons, the dead Negro was strung up to a telephone pole. Collins was arrested today along with three other Negroes in connection with the attack on a young white girl here Sunday. It is alleged that he assisted Ernest Cox, the Negro who confessed to the crime, in hiding the body. Cox was taken to Atlanta for safe keeping. Sheriff Reid had difficulty in getting the prisoners into the local jail on account of the mob which assembled when the arrests were made public. Shortly after the Negroes were incarcerated the mob attacked the jail with crowbars and affected an entrance. The other prisoners were not molested. While no further trouble is looked for here tonight, threats of violence are being made on all sides in the event, that Cox or the five Negroes spirited to Marietta are brought back here for trial. Chas. Williams was ill a few days this week at his home on Einwood avenue. Johnson's Wife Shoot #FATAL #FATAL ACT COMMITTED WHILE SUFEFRING FROM NERVOUS PROSTRATION. Later when hope for her recovery was abandoned, Johnson ordered the nurse from his wife's room and refused admittance to every one. z"I want to be alone with Etta," he said. As the wife of Clarence Duryea of Hempstead, L. I., Mrs. Johnson had the keyes to the exclusive club to which such persons as Mrs. Alfred Vanderblit and others belonged. She rode to the foxes with the pick of the four hundred. Mrs. Johnson was thirty years old. She obtained her divorce from Duryea in the latter part of 1910 and married Johnson in January, 1911, at Pittsburgh. Lynchers Terrified BY ACTIVITY OF AUTHORITIES IN PROBING BLIND RAGE OF MERCER COUNTY MOB. Crowd Cheers Father of Assaulted Girl When He is Released Under Ten Thousand Dollars Bond, Charged with Leading Mob. Bluefield, Sept. 10.—The special grand jury called in Mercer county to investigate the lynching at Princeton Thursday night of Robert Johnson, colored will meet next Monday. The cost of the investigation will come out of the fund authorized by the governor for the purpose. The grand jury will vigorously probe the hanging of Robert Johnson. In the meantime terror has succeeded the blind rage of the mob, and many arrests are expected. The authorities have been active in securing the names of those who took part in the lynching and intend to vigorously prosecute all of these. Gordon White, the railroad section foreman, and the father of the girl whom the Negro was lynched, was brought back here Monday on the order of Judge Frank Maynard. Many citizens protested against the manner in which White was spirited out of the county Saturday night after being arrested on a charge of first degree murder. It is said that White was not arraigned before any justice before being taken out of the city and his arrest for this reason was illegal. A crowd of several hundred people followed White through the streets to the office of Justice Dillars and when he was released on ten thousand dollars bond, he was given an ovation by his sympathizers. The angry crowd then menaced Police Officers Walters and Kahle for their part in the arrest of White and excitement ran high for a considerable time. The officials threatened to close the saloons. Chief of Police Postlewaite has tendered his resignation effective October 1, partially over the lynching affair and it is said that other officers may also resign. Between fifty and seventy-five arrests are scheduled for Monday when the special grand jury convenes. Feeling in Bluefield is intense in favor of the lynchers and more trouble may result from the prosecution of those who took part in the affair. Lynched Negro May Be Innocent of Crime Grave Doubts Are Expressed by Mercer Authorities as to the Gull of Mob's Victim. Bluefield, Wt. Va., Sept. 6.—Princeton is again quiet, after the lynching of last night. Walter Johnson, the Negro, was cut down at 9 o'clock this morning and prepared for burial in potter's field. County officials are very reticent concerning the probable prosecution of the lynchers. However, it is thought an investigation will be held, although the prosecution refuses to talk for publication. Officers did everything in their power to prevent the lynching and only gave up the prisoner at the last moment, when bullets began to fly. While Assistant Prosecutor W. E. Ross plead for law, order and justice, Judge Mainard and other officers did not agree to permit the lynching of Miss White would again identify the assailant, as stated in dispatches of last night, but agreed to an immediate trial, and pleaded for the mob to desist, which they did for a short time. Officers have serious doubt as to the guilt of the lynched man and information gathered today tends to his innocence. Governor Glasscock has notified the Former Society Belle And Wife of Prominent Man of Hempstead, 'Tis Sald, She was Attracted by Two Heavyweight and Divorcee Land. Chicago. 11.—Mrs. Etta Johnson, wif Jack Johnson, the champion of West, and former society bell, empstead, L. L, who was the w' Dept. Clarence E. Duryea, society man and horseman, shot herself tonight following an attack of nervous prostration in her apartments over Johnson's cafe, 41 East Thirty First street. The bullet entered at the right temple and came out at the left temple. At midnight, after an operation at a hospital, hope for her recovery was abandoned and a priest administered the extreme unction. Johnson was at his wife's side, crying like a child as the churchman solemnly read the last service. Remorse for having left her place in the exclusive Long Island society colony to become the wife of the world's champion prize fighter and to associate herself with those of his race is the cause to which her act ultimately can be traced, according to her close friends. For over a year she has suffered from severe nervous prostration. Ms. Johnson was to have left for Las Vegas, New Mexico tonight, in the hope that the altitude would help her health. Just before she was to start for the train, she was seized with a relapse and Johnson was down-town telling of his wife's inability to go when she shot herself. When Johnson returned to the flat and learned of his wife's removal to the hospital he raced away in his motor car. Breaking through the line of attendants, into the operating room, he threw his arms about his wife. "My little 'pal,' he said, "You aren't going to take the count, are you?" "She was the best pal I ever had," said Johnson, "but this nervous prosecution put her out of her head. She still loved me, I know she did. Why she the one who gave me the pluck to win my battles. I always had a talk with her just before I went into a fight and now she is going to take the count. It's tough. It'll knock me out I'm afraid." At midnight Mrs. Johnson was still living and at her side, Jack Johnson still sat, talking to her unconscious mind and always the big hand of the prize fighter was tightly clasped around the pretty white hand of his wife. authorities of Mercer county that he will be responsible for a fund to pay the cost of a thorough investigation of the lynching in order to bring the murderers to justice. "I will do everything in my power to aid the officials in finding and prosecuting the guilty parties for the crime of murder," said the governor last night. "Every one who participated in the lynching is a murderer." NEBRASKA CONGRESSMAN Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 9. — Congressman George W. Norris, candidate for Senator on the Republican ticket, today gave out a statement, in which he declared that, while still a Republican, he would support Roosevelt for the presidency. His statement said in part: "No one seriously believes Mr. Taft was the honest and lawful nominee of the Chicago convention. The men who perpetrated the fraud privately admit it and justify themselves on the ground it was the only way they had of defeating the nomination of Roosevelt."

Tears and Their Cause Tears have no more to do with sorrow than with any other emotion, and their persuasive powers should be nil. Wearing is merely the drags of a used-up emotion of any character whatever. Children cry even more easily than women, because their nervous system is less stable; men cry less because theirs is more developed and in better control. Encouraged By Results IN VERMONT ARE PROGRES SIVES, DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS OF THIS STATE Signs of Hope Appear on the Horizon for All Parties, the Soothsayers of Each Seeing Unerring Indications of Success in November. Breathes there a political manager with soul so dead that he cannot extract some tiny drop of comfort from the early election returns? If such there be, go mark him well and let him be cast into the region of outer darkness, for the political ser without the gift of prophecy belongeth not in that realm where hope is cherished until the most belated of the belated returns arrive. In early September, just about the end of the sizzling season, Vermont has the symptoms of the disturbance which runs amuck through the nation like a plague in India about 60 days later. These early symptoms are watched with unrivaled interest by those who are anxious to discern and forecast what November may bring forth. The political soothsayers In West Virginia always secure grains of comfort from the Vermont return. In this troubled year of political eruptions nothing has developed to dim the vision of the chesty Warwicks who peep into the future and in mystic syllables read their horoscope to the unenlightened. Republican, Democratic and Progressive managers have no doubt that the males in Vermont over 21 years of age attempted in the recent election to give a certain and unerring sign to their brethren and the seleys sisters in the other states, just the trend the herd was taking through the pastures so that the sovereigns in other unimportant states like Pennsylvania, New York and Ohio might follow as the lamb follows the ewe, but it has so happened again that the prognosticators do not interpret alike. Alessandro Semigears ball, joy reigned unconfined at the Democratic state headquarters at Parkersburg when it was learned from the returns that the Democrats had made a gain of about 25 per cent in the total vote cast in Vermont, and the lightning calculators at the state headquarters immediately proved with figures that with the same increase in the Democratic party in West Virginia this fall the Republican majority of 12,000 for Governor Glasscock and 26,000 for President Taft would be wiped out entirely. In the absence of State Chairman Stuart W. Walker, Major M. M. Neely, the assistant, gave out a statement, based on the returns of the 1908 election and in which he showed that if the Vermont percentage of increase was maintained by the Democrats of West Virginia, it would mean an addition of 27,855 votes to the Bryan vote of 111,418 of four years ago and 29,750 votes to the vote of 130,307 given Louis Bennett, the gubernatorial candidate of 1908. "It matters little," said Vice Chairman Neely, "whether the friends of Roosevelt or Taft received the larger vote in the Vermont election, the main point emphasized by the result of Tuesday's election is the Democratic gain." The bellringer from the Buckwheat Hilt, Chairman James S. Lakin, of the Republican State Central Committee, heard the returns from Vermont just before his departure for Clarksburg, where he went to assume command at the Republican state headquarters. Chairman Lakin one of those who believes that satisfaction comes from success rather than apology or prediction, and as the Republicans carried Vermont again he thought there was no occasion, to be downcast, believing the grand old party had drawn first blood and was getting in better trim all the time for the big fight that follows the curtain-raiser. Just about the time that the Vermont returns rolled in an heir appeared at the home of Chairman William M. O. Dawson, the Progressive manager. While ostensibly the former Governor seemed to be pleased with the showing of the Progressives in the hide-bound Republican state, his political foes asserted that Dawson was just as cunning as ever, and while outwardly expressing approval of the Progressive vote in the Eastern state, was in reality just firing a few verbal shots over the arrival of the young Bull Moose. But the Progressive Chairman still insists that the Bull Moosers in Vermont were twice as many as he believed and predicted there would be more in November. S.

The Democratic leaders were not only pleased with the result in Vermont State, but gave further vent to their feelings when they heard that the regular Republicans and Progressives, battling for the control of the state, had decided to have separate sets of Presidential Electors. Although it was conceded that it was far from a satisfactory solution of the electoral question to have the same set of Electors on both tickets, it was agreed that the chances for Democratic success on the national ticket under such conditions were not so favorable as with separate electoral tickets. Some, however, offered the argument that many of the voters of the state not knowing for whom their ballots would be cast if they voted for the Republican electors, would cast their ballots for Governor Wilson. By the action of the Progressive State Committee in asking for the withdrawal of the electors who favored the election of Colonel Roosevelt, litigation in the Court was probably averted, for the Republican leaders were also demanding a loyal set of electors at the head of the Republican ticket, and Chairman James S. Lakin S.

While five of the eight Presidential Electors in the State have been considered Roosevelt supporters, it is extremely doubtful if five of them will resign to accept a similar place on the Progressive ticket. Three of them, J. F. Shanklin, of Hinton; Jack Matthews, of Moundsville, and L. D. Vickers, of Charleston, are reported as willing to retire, but there is considerable speculation about George M.

This action of the Progressive Committee in taking a stand for a separate set of electors under their party emblem, which will be a copyrighted photograph of Theodore Roosevelt, was entirely satisfactory to Chairman Lakin, of the regulars. Before this departure for Clarksburg, where he will assume the management of the campaign for the whole Republican ticket, he expressed himself as satisfied with the result and declared he would assemble the State Central Committee to fill the vacancies on the electoral ticket just as soon as he knew how many of the electors would retire. With the Republicans and Progressives having separate electors Chairman Lakin said that he believed the result would be more satisfactory, and that every voter in the State would be accorded the opportunity of knowing for whom his vote was being cast, a privilege to which the voter was entitled. With the double electoral ticket in the field the Democratic leaders believe they will have little trouble in carrying the state for Governor Wilson. They feel that the Republican vote will be divided, and while the Phone 2251 Charleston, W. Va. The Old "Saunders Place" Republican leaders claim the conservative Democratic vote for President Taft and the Bull Moosers lay claim to a large slice of the radical vote in the Democratic party, the Democrats assert that they will not only carry their own party strength, but will make gains from their Republican brethren a la Vermont. While the complete separation of the Taft and Roosevelt candidacies does not tend to increase the confidence of either the Taft or Roosevelt leaders that their presidential favorite can carry West Virginia, they hold the opinion that the separation of the electoral tickets will aid the State and local tickets by bringing out the full vote of the two factions of the party, and that the state, legislative and county tickets, appearing on both tickets, will be aided materially. The Democratic leaders realized that with the endorsement of the Republican state ticket by the Progressives that their fight would be for the control of the state government, and William R. Thompson, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee and Thomas R. Bledsoe, the nominee for Attorney-General, who will make the principal speeches during the campaign on behalf of the state ticket, have already arranged their itinerary for September and October. return home before the break to Will son occurred, the aged statesman likes the way the New Jersey Governor handled the tariff question in his speech of acceptance. If from any cause the taking of said depositions shall not be com- menced or completed on the day afo- handled the tariff question in his said, the same shall be continued from day to day, or from time to time until the early days of October. They will open at Madison, Boone county on September 12, and are then routed as follows: Clay, September 13; Nicholas, September 16; Webster, September 17; Braxton, September 18; Gilmer, September 19; Calhoun, September 20; Wirt, September 21; Ritchel, September 23; Doddridge, September 24; Lewis, September 24; Upshur, September 26; Barbour, September 27; Randolph, September 28; Tucker, September 30; Mineral, October 1; Hampshire, October 2; Hardy, October 3; Jefferson, October 4; and the tour will close at Martinsburg, Berkeley county, on October 5. In making this early itinerary it will be seen that Chairman Walker has made provision for the Democratic nominees to visit the agricultural counties in the early days of the campaign and confine their efforts to the most populous counties in the last month. Before his departure for Clarksburg to commence the active work of the campaign, Chairman Lakin said that he would have the Republican state candidates out on the stump as early as possible. All the Republican candidates for state offices are experienced on the stump. Dr. H. D. Hatfield, Stuart F. Reed, John S. Darst, Abraham S. Lilly and E. L. Long will brush along over the rough places in the state and carry the burden of the speaking campaign. Dr. Hatfield, the Republican Gubernatorial nominee, has been speaking for several weeks at opportune times, but illness compelled him to abandon an engagement at Montgomery on Labor Day, and the big political meeting arranged for Wheeling on September 4 was postponed for the same reason. Former Senator Henry Gassaway, of Elkins, who was the running mate of Judge Alton B. Parker in the campaign of 1904, now nearing his nineteenth year, still retains an active interest in the political game and his age does not bar him from defending the third term tradition against all aspirants for the title. The venerable leader of the Democratic party usually has something to say during a campaign, and this year he shot his broadside early in the game. Senator Davis is pleased with Governor Wilson, the Democratic nominee. While he was a delegate to the national convention and supported Champ Clark because of his instructions for the Missouriian and worn out by the long session, was forced to THE ADVOCATE. The former Senator has figures from the census bureau that the greatest progress in population and prosperity in this nation was made in the earlier years of the Republic under Democratic rule. The period of greatest prosperity, Mr. Davies declares, was during the decade between 1850 and 1860, when the Walker tariff act was in force. This bill, he argues, provided for a moderate tariff, which produced ample revenue for the government's use eH then approves entirely of Wilson's views for an early revision of the tariff, and says there is no intention to disturb business in this program. Discussing the entry of Colonel Roosevelt into the contest, Senator Davies says: "One of the important questions of the present campaign is the third term. It is the effort of a dangerous and ambitious man and his followers to overthrow precedent in order to satisfy his own selfish desires. Others before him (all Republicans) have been obsessed with the belief that without them the country would go back to rack and ruin. Providence saw to it, though that every such move was repulsed, and I am quite certain that the Colonel's third term aspirations will meet with similar failure." Senator Davis is a close personal friend of President Taft, and had but little to say concerning his administration further than to make the general charge of extravagance against both national and state administrations, but he concluded that with three candidates in the field the Democratic nominee for the Presidency would be victorious, as was the Republican candidate in 1860, when the Democratic party divided on the rock. National Committeeman John T. McGraw means to take an active interest in the campaign this year. While longing to satisfy that ambition to serve in the United States Senate. Colonel McGraw is loyally supporting Governor Wilson, having been the original Wilson man among the Democratic leaders of the state, and believes that a victory for Wilson will have some moral effect on the candidacy of McGraw to succeed Senator Watson. This week Colonel McGraw went to Pittsburg, where he was one of the speakers at the opening of the Democratic campaign in Alleghany County. As an orator of magnetic qualities, who can thrill the multitude for hours at a stretch, McGraw is one of the best in the country. With the selection of Clarksburg for the location of the Republican state headquarters, the base of supplies for the three political organizations which are known factors in the political movement this fall, are scattered from one end of the state to the other. The Republicans went the farthest north while the Democrats stopped at the city of Parkersburg, easy of access to all parts of the state, and the Progressives established their fighting force at Charleston, the capital and political center of the state. Some of these fine days the Democratic and Republican leaders of the state will wake up and realize that the capital city of the state is usually the political center from which the politics of the state radiate.—J.

THE PRINCETON HORROR To one not acquainted with the American public, the activity of the Mercer county officials in probing the Princeton lynching would convey «i impression that outraged justice woud soon avenge herself by punishing the guilty murderers.

Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Sept. 6. "Have you a man to take charge of our farm?" "We wish a young woman to teach domestic science in our city school." "We need skilled mechanics to teach carpentry, wheelwrighting and blacksmithing." "Negro nurses, men and women, are in great demand here in our town." These are some of the many calls that all the principal of Tuskegee Institute at all seasons of the year. It is reasonably so. The change of the trend of education among both black and white; the increase of wealth and courage to venture into business among Negroes; the higher and higher esteem into which skilled Negro workmen are rising all make this call louder and more general. At Tuskegee Institute some thirty odd of these industries are taught. There are millinery, dressmaking, ladies' tailoring, upholstering and mattress-making, domestic science, laundering and gymnastics for girls; there are shoe making, tailoring, wheelwrighting, carpentry, cabinet making, tinsmithing, printing, harness making, mechanical and architectural drawing, mechanical, electrical and steam engineering, for boys; and there are thairying, swine raising, truck farming, poultry raising, stock raising, floriculture, landscape gardening, veterinary science, fruit growing, and many other branches of industry, both mechanical and agricultural, for both boys and girls. Let no one bait at the idea of young women entering the agricultural trades. This again is the modern trend of things. More than this experience and experiments at Tuskegee Institute are demonstrating that the young woman is just as apt and able a pupil with the machinery in the creamery, with the science of feeds in the poultry yard, with packing and handling fruits in the orchard as she is with grammatical syntax in the classroom, and just as quick and aggressive as is her young man classmate, to whom time and prejudice have hitherto restricted these trades. But more of the specific trades later. The call for the skilled Negro workman today bears with it comprehensive assumption. It asks for men and women skilled in one or more branches of handwork; but it also has a flavor of something else. Has he religion? Has he character? Has he good habits? Is he punctual? Has he culture? Can he make a speech? Can he command respect? Will he stand for anything in the community? Does he know how to get along with people? These are all the requirements that the trades teachers of today must face in addition to special training in a given industry. As a mere workman he might pass muster without these; but as a teacher and leader, he must have these together with excellence in scholarship. And strange enough it is that these very essential requirements are not offered in the curriculum of any school. It is hardly advisable that they should be. The student should get them as he goes. They should be a part of his daily life, just like eating his meals and drinking water. No institution offers water drinking as one of its courses in a school curriculum, no more in a character; but both the prayer and the character should be just as common and just as refreshing as the water. Now this the Tuskegee Institute, without listing it to the catalogue undertakes to give—this thing one calls training. Let us begin with Sunday morning to see what general training a student gets during the week in addition to his special studies in his books and trade. At a certain hour in the morning the bell rings for him to rise, ten minutes later, the same bell calls him to breakfast. Five minutes later he must be in the dining hall. He asks his blessing in a short song with from 1200 to 1500 of his fellows starts his meal on time and finishes on time. He must have come to the dining room properly dressed, having given attention to his clothes in general, his hair and his teeth—tooth brushes are required. He must have furnished himself with a napkin which he must use, and use correctly at the table. He must know how or soon learn how to handle his food at the table, how to take food on his plate, how to cut it up and how to convey it to his mouth. From the This room he must clean, spotlessly, were poor Negro boys playing here, for at another given signal, he and who had entered Tuskegee Institute, his room must stand a scrutinizing in- many being unable to make a class on spection from a corps of teachers and the one hand or to pay their board on workers sent around for that purpose the other. This room he must clean, spotlessly, for at another given signal, he and his room must stand a scrutinizing inspection from a corps of teachers and workers sent around for that purpose. There must be no dust in the room no waste paper or solled clothing must be found lying around; and above all his own clothing must be—not fine and expensive—but free from grease spots, and with buttons on where they ought to be. Then there is the call to prayer meeting, the march to church to listen to a sermon and to rare choir and orchestra music, thence to Sunday school, thence to dinner and then a quiet Sabbath rest for a while. Once more the bell calls. There is three o'clock prayer meeting. A band concert, given by a band that has elicited applause well nigh the country over lasts until supper. In the evening comes the real treat. There is the brilliant and invigorating chapel talk by Booker T. Washington, and there is the address by some distinguished person of whom the student has heard much, but whom it had never dreamed of seeing. His day thus closes, having been filled with inspiration which no class room could give. Above all, unawares he has been receiving just the sort of training which the present day is demanding. He has had his lesson in punctuality, in decency of appearance, in table manners, in keeping clean surroundings, in placing a value upon time, even upon the day of rest. And finally he has not only been temporarily inspired but has had drilled into him the religious habit, the habit of churca going, of prayer service and worship on the Sabbath day. Multiply this by several hundred days and you get culture, religion, character, in a word you get a man; not perfect of course, but tending towards the standard the world is now daily erecting for the educated Negro. Learning to handle a napkin, to dress properly, to clean a room, are in themselves culture and education, but they do not comprehend all that the man in the world has to know. What are these activities of the student himself? Where does the student with special ability find an outlet? Suppose he can sing, speak draw, play on a piano, play on a stringed instrument. Suppose he is an athlete, plays football, baseball and the like, must all this talent be impressed into a trade and into the routine of regular duties. Not so. Not only is the student encouraged in the direction in which he has gifts, but in many instances he receives pay for so using his talent. Many penniless boys and girls have earned a large part of their board, paid for learning their trades and gotten their academic training through talent of this kind. For the student who can speak, declaim, write essays, debate or wow wishes to acquire skill in any of these directions there are open to him ten different literary societies. These societies stress different points in general literary culture so that one may elect to enter the one which stands for the sort of thing he can do or wishes to do. If, for example, a student is interested in agriculture, there is the Natural History Debating Club, which while it debates like other literary societies, places stress on agricultural discussions. There is the Careful Builders' Club for the younger boys who are just starting, which stresses good manly conduct; Liberty Debating Club, emphasizing pure debate. On the girls' side there are the Phyllis Wheatley, the Acme Club, The Little Women and the Temperance Society, some laying stress on reading, others on discussion and others on general social improvement. A merry time it is when these clubs clash in debate; when Liberty debates Natural History, and the Acme girls, who furnish the entertainment, sit back and applaud; or when the smart boys, Careful Builders, with Little Women as their sympathizers, cross swords in argument with the Stokes-Ministers Union, a sort of grown men's club—being the club to which the Bible workers in Phelps Hall belong. Andrew Carnegie classed the music of Tuskegee Institute choir as the most beautiful in the world. This music is furnished by those students who have talent to sing. They are taught music, trained to sing and then paid so much per month to do this singing. So it is again with the Institute band and the Institute orchestra. Boys with but a faint idea of music but anxious to learn to play on some instrument are furnished the instrument, given instruction and then employed to play in the band or orchestra. For the last two years the band has made a tour of most of the large cities of the South and elicited praise from both white and colored people. It played before a mixed audience in the Auditorium-Armory in Atlanta, Ga., and the Atlanta Constitution classed its rendition of "William Tell" above the rendition of the same selection by Creator's band. It played in Montgomery, Dirmingham, Mobile, Nashville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Dayton, and was cheered, reheeled and invited and besought to return. These THE ADVOCATE Just as he asserts his talent and individuality through the musical instrument, the football player asserts his talent on the gridiron. True he gets strength and endurance from his trade work, but the aloriness which ought always to go with bodily strength, he gains under the football coach on the field. He, too, takes his trips, meets men and women of other schools and so gets his culture, like the band boy, from direct contact with Me as it is. likely talent or no time to train. During last year these students met and heard speak representatives from almost every nation on the globe. There was the African Race Congress, which brought representatives from England, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, the West Indies, as well as from various parts of the United States and Africa. There is the annual mid-winter trustees' meeting, headed by Seth Low of New York, which brings a special car or two of the best Americans from every section of the country. Special cars of teachers and educators from different cities of the North and West, Conferences for school workers among Negro people in the South—all these serve to keep the student alive and in intimate touch with the progress of the world. This contact alone, were there no trades, no books, no instructors, would be an enviable education in itself, an education which would fit the student in just the way the new demands of the day are decreeing that he shall be fitted. Near the opening of the school, on Thanksgiving night, as well as on several other occasions through the year the student has his own social. He meets with a thousand or more of his schoolmates, thus acquiring tast, that ability to get along which is asked of every man who seeks a position of any kind whatsoever. This is the student life. How has he gotten his tradg? How has he chosen it? How will he fit himself in it? Even with his culture the trade alone will not do. If he is a wheel-wright he cannot simply make wheels. If he is a blacksmith he cannot simply do blacksmithing. If so he could have followed the old apprentice style of his fathers. With his culture and with his skill as a tradesman must go a knowledge of the science of the industry. He must know how to raise turnips, for example, but he must also know the chemistry or soils and the food value of the product. This requirement has sent college graduates, holders of academic certificates and of trades certificates to Passgre to study as post graduates. --- Was Good—Didn't Get Measles. The subject of measles came up in a family that had a small boy in it. "Have you had the measles yet, Charles Robert?" asked the visitor. "No," the youngster replied. "I did think I was going to have them last week, but I was real good for three or four days, and I guess I won't have them at all." To Make Veauvius Useful Artificial warming of the world is one of the greatest of modern problems and yet the earth is itself a vast furnace, whose flames are sometimes aggressively active and destructive. Italians are planning to use some of this heat. A boiler is to be installed at some point where the internal fires of Vesuvius are accessible and hot water is to be piped to the neighboring towns. Help and Be Happy Happiness is not a task. It is not even an occupation. It is a quality of life. Happiness depends on helpfulness. 'That's the reason joy is social. Helpfulness keeps happiness because it adds to the area of affection. People are not happy when they seek after happiness. They become steeped in happiness when they undertake to promote the joy of others.—Walter Williams. la Anxious to Meet Him The vicar of a Kew (England) church is advertising for the person who has been in the habit of placing in the offertory bag an envelope containing a dirty and somewhat greasy halfpenny stamp, so that he may be able "to exchange the stamps for current coin of the realm, and have the opportunity of making the acquaintance of a most interesting parishioner."

DIVINE REWARDS ARE ETERNAL Pastor Russell Corrects Some Misinterpretations of Holy Writ—Eternal Life Is a Gift of God and the Blessing Will Not Be Conferred on the Wilfully Wicked—The Church Will Sit With the Messiah When the World Is Judged. Columbus, Ohio, Sept. 8. — Pastor Russell's text here today was, "These shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal." — Matthew xxv, 46. He said:— PASTOR RUSSELL Columbus, Ohlo, Sept. 8. — B pastor Russell's text here today was, "These shall go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into life eternal." — Matthew xxv, 46. He said: We have been in all sorts of confusion respecting the future, be- cause we have not studied the Bible's testimony critically. For thirteen centuries the Bible was almost unknown. The bishops of the Church were erroneously supposed to be successors of the Apostles and to speak with the same Divine inspiration and authority. Printing was not yet invented and education was confined to a wealthy few. No wonder the inspired Message was lost in a mass of human tradition, much of which was devilish nonsense! We have been gradually progressing from darkness to light, though fettered by hobgoblin figures and each other's threats and perversions of the Divine Message. It is safe to say that the Bible is being more critically studied today by earnest Christians of all denominations than it ever was before. The result of this study, and the advantages of our time, are manifesting themselves. Divine harmonies are filling heads and hearts once distracted by clashing creeds. Take our Text as an Illustration. Once blindly we read this Parable of the Sheep and Goats and applied it to rewards and punishments as a result of things done in the present Age. Now we see that its proper application belongs altogether to the next Age of Messiah's Kingdom. It distinctly states this. It is introduced thus: "When the Son of Man shall come in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then shall He sit upon the Throne of His glory; and before Him shall be gathered all nations, and He shall separate them one from another as the shepherd divideth the sheep from the goats." The Church is not included in this parable at all. It relates, as we see, to the world—"all nations." Other Scriptures show us that when the nations shall thus undergo their trial for life or death everlasting the Church will be glorified. As the Bride of Christ she shall sit with Him in His Throne and be associated in His work of judging the world. Note how clearly St. Paul expresses this, saying, "Know ye not that the saints shall judge the world?" (I Corinthians vi. 2.) Thus it is the world's Judgment Day that he elsewhere mentions, saying, "God hath appointed a Day (future—a thousand-year Day—the Day of Christ), in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by that Man whom He hath ordained."—Acts xvii. 31. A right understanding of the doctrine of Election helps us gradually to a proper view of the Divine Program. The Church is being selected out of the world according to faithfulness and character-development, in preparation for great service for the non-elect. The Messianite Kingdom, with Christ and the Church in control as the Royal Priesthood, is appointed for the very purpose of blessing the non-elect world—"all nations." For a thousand years the work of bringing all to a knowledge of the Truth will progress. To this end Satan will be bound at the very beginning of the thousand years and the light of the knowledge of the glory of God will fill the whole earth as the waters cover the great deep. With all thus brought to a clear comprehension of righteousness each will be on trial, and will either come into harmony with the Kingdom or remain an alien and lover of sin. All the latter are in the parable classed as goats—wayward ones—and will thus place themselves at the left hand of the King—in His disfavor. On the contrary, all who learn the ways of the Lord and come into accord therewith, are symbolically styled "sheep" in the parable, and by their conduct will gradually take their places at the King's right hand, or place of favor. Sheep—Goata—Fire. The Parable shows the conclusion of the world's Judgment. All will then have taken their places, either as sheep or as goats—either in the King's favor or in His disfavor. The sheep class will then hear His "Well done," "Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world"—from the time the world was established. -Matthew xvv, 21, 28, 34. The world was made for mankind. Adam being its representative was the King of earth. He lost his dominion when he lost his relationship to his Creator and lost his right to eternal life by his disobedience. The sheep class will represent all of Adam's race brought back to perfection by the processes of Restitution during Messiah's reign. (Acts iii, 19-21.) To them will come the dominston which Adam lost and which Jesus redeemed at Calvary and which He will give to the worthy ones at the conclusion of His thousand-year reign. Next, the fate of the goat class is stated—not in literal language, but symbolically. Indeed, the Prophet and the Apostle declared of Jesus that "He opened His mouth in parables," and that "without a parable spake He not to the people." In other words, everything that Jesus said to the people in general was figurative, in order that only those of right condition of heart might be able to understand Hm. The message of the great King to the goat class will be, "Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire prepared for the Devil and his angels." (Matthew xxv, 41.) We might as well insist that the parable applies to literal goats as to claim that this penalty is literal fire. All who have studied the subject will freely admit that fire throughout the Bible is used figuratively to represent destruction. Fire is not used as a symbol for Adamic death, the sentence upon all of the race, because God from the beginning purposed the setting aside of that sentence through the redemptive work of Jesus; hence Adamic death is not destruction, but in the Bible is styled, symbolically, "falling asleep," and resurrection is styled "awakening from sleep." But when picturing the Second Death, the Bible uses strong terms, representing destruction in the fullest and most absolute sense. Mark the words used: "Porish," "Second Death," "Everlasting Destruction." We even overlooked the plain explanation which Jesus gave us when He said, "the lake of fire, which is the Second Death." (Revelation xx, 14.) St. Peter, summing up the fate of the incorrigibly wicked, says that they shall be destroyed like natural brute beasts. (II Peter ii, 12.) Only a bugaboo of eternal torment, hundreds of years old, could have so alarmed us that we failed to note these matters long ago. Meanwhile, alas, while many of the learned have abandoned the doctrine of eternal torment, they have practically abandoned everything else in the Bible, because they supposed the Bible to teach this inconsistency. Let us not follow them into "Higher Criticism" infidelity and total rejection of the inspiration of God's Word, but let us compare Scripture with Scripture and use our God-given reason within the boundaries of God's Message. So doing we are seeing more and more the glorious perfection of our Father's character and of His inspired Word. Reasoning by Contrast. Some shallow thinkers have been thrown off the track of religious investigation, reasoning that if there is a heaven, there must of necessity be a hell of torment. But the contrast which the Bible establishes in respect to the sinner and the saint is life and death—and not heaven and hell. As a matter of fact the Bible nowhere promises heaven to any except the Church of the First-borns, who are now being called out of the world for association with Messiah in His Kingdom. The world of mankind never lost heaven and is nowhere promised heaven. Adam's loss was an earthly Eden, a human perfection. Jesus declares that He "came to seek and to save that which was lost." The work of His Kingdom for a thousand years will be the bringing of earth to a Paradise condition. And He will restore all the willing and obedient of mankind to all that was lost, bringing them back again to the image and likeness of God in the flesh. Adam possessed these qualities when he was declared by his Creator "very good," and was given the dominion of earth. When Adam was placed on trial in Eden he was endowed with perfection of life and organism as a man. God said not one word to him about heaven or hell, but did set before him life and death. If he would be obedient he should be privileged to maintain his life and all his perfections and blessings everlastingly. If he would rebel against his Creator's laws and be disobedient thereto he should die—be cut off from life. He was disobedient, and was expelled from Eden into the accursed, or unfit earth, where he died a slow death, battling with thorns and thistles. This has been the fate of his entire race—death—mental, moral and physical decay to completion. "Life or Death—Blessing or Curaing." When telling the object of Jesus' coming into the world, and describing man's redemption from the penalty of death, we read, "God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him might not perish, but have everlasting life." (John iii, 16). What right had we or anybody to twist the word perish, which means destruction, to make it mean everlasting life in torture? Such perversions and wrestlings of the Scriptures have brought great discredit upon our God and great confusion into the minds of His people. We should note with emphasize the contempt of fully stated in this most precious book "not perish, but have everlasting life. Certainly whoever gets the everlasting life will not perish; whoever does not get it will perish. How plain Gods Word! Notice again the various terms used in respect to the Savior and His life. The word Savior signifies Life Giver. We would have seen the beauty of this if we had not been befogged as respects the penalty, death. Whoever sees that " the wages of an is death must perforce see that the great need of the world is a 'Life-Giver' to rescue them from the death penalty by a resurrection. Again, our Lord represents Himself as the Great Physician who is able not only to rescue from the tomb, but to heal all diseases, all the imperfections which come to marrow as incidentals of the death penalty. Hear, again Jesus' words, "Be that hath the Son hath life; be that hath not the Son shall not see life, but the wrath 'God' (as expressed in the death penalty) abideth on him"—to him it becomes the Second Death. This explains 'also' the meaning of Jesus' words, "Ye will not come unto Me that ye may have life." And again "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." What can be plainer than that "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord?"—Romans vi, 23. "Into Everlasting Punishment." We are asked, Does not the word everlasting, as applied to the goat class, signify as long a period as the same word applied to the sheep class? We reply, Most assuredly so. The punishment of sin is to be everlasting, and the reward of righteousness is to be everlasting. There is no question on this point. The question is, What is the punishment for sin? The thoughtless at once will say, Fire, torment, smoke, blazes, devils with horns and tails and pitchforks, a la Dante's Inferno. But we ask for a Scriptural answer. What does the Bible say is the punishment for sin? Nothing like Dante's answer is to be found in the Bible, however much we might imagine that it was printed in every page and that we have read it scores of times. The Bible is most explicit. It declares, "The wages of sin is death." "All the wicked will God destroy." "The soul that sinneth, it shall die;" "punished with everlasting destruction." These abundant and redundant Scriptural testimonies on the subject should settle the matter of future punishment to every reasonable mind—especially when there is not a Scripture to the contrary either in the Old or in the New Testament. I do indeed remember certain of our Lord's parables which, taken literally, might mean the literal cutting off of a hand or foot, the literal plucking out of the eye, the biting, worms possessed of immortality, and literal blazed unquenchable. These we have already discussed and may yet again refer to, but not now. We content ourselves with the generally accepted and reasonable proposition that parables are never to be accepted as teaching doctrines, but at very most as illustrating them. The Bible contains not a single suggestion of eternal torture as a penalty for sin. It tells of no place beyond the bounds of time and space where Dante's poem will find its fulfilment. It does tell of a God of infinite Justice, Wisdom, Love and Power, whose decree is that eventually all the wicked shall be destroyed; that eventually there will not be one inharmonious note throughout the Universe to mar the glorious harmony and perfection; that every knee shall bow and every tongue confess to the glory of God; that there shall be no more dying, crying, sighing; that God's will shall be done on earth even as it is done in heaven; that eventually, "Every creature in heaven and in earth and under the earth shall be heard saying, Praise, glory, dominion and might be unto Him that sitteth upon the Throne and unto the Lamb forever."29 Analyzing It Carefully. Analyzing It Carefully Let us look still more deeply into our text: Let us note this word punishment in the Greek. It is koslasin. Its usage in the Greek classics signifies, to prune, to cut off. A secondary meaning of the word is, to restrain. Death is a most effectual restraint. The punishment which God has provided for sinners is that they shall be cut off from life, cut off from all the blessed privileges which God provided, not for them, not for rebels, but for sons in fellowship with Himself. The punishment against Father Adam was cutting off from Eden, and its blessings, from being the king of earth, from fellowship with His Creator, from being the son of God, from enjoying everlasting life. All this cutting off was included in his death sentence. Jesus came that Adam and his race might not everlastingly perish—that they might be rescued from the power of the grave by a resurrection of the dead, that all might thus through Him come to a full opportunity for life everlasting. Nevertheless the Divine Law still stands. The wages of sin still is death. Therefore, whoever shall receive the grace of God in vain, whoever shall sin wilfully, intentionally, after full enlightenment, shall again be cut off—this time to perish, because "Christ dieth no more"—no more shall death have dominion over Him. The opportunity which His Kingdom shall grant for every creature, for every member of Adam's race, to return to Divine fellowship and everlasting life, will be so complete as to need no repetition. Those who die the Second Death will be without a repelly, will perish in everlasting destruction.

For certain equable, continuous modes of life, there is nothing more than judgment necessary, and we study to attain nothing more; so we become unable to discern what extraordinary services each vulgar day requires of us; or, if we discern them, we find abundance of exuses for not doing them. A judicious man is valuable to himself, but of little value for the general whole—Goethe "I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational invention of modern times," writes Professor W. I. Thomas, Professor of Sociology in the University of Chicago. Industry is the spirit of Tuskegee-industry and discipline are made a habit. The choice of some 40 trades is offered young men and young women. Tuskegee graduates are earning from $50.00 to $80.00 and $100.00 per month as Academic Teachers, Farm Managers, Steam and Electrical Engineers, Tailors, Farm Managers, Teachers of Domestic Science, Nurses-in fact the demand for men and women trained in all the trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the supply. The Academic Work is vital and real; it is close to realities. The school seeks soundness and efficiency; the Academic and Industrial Work are closely correlated. The Spiritual Work of the school is strong. It ranks fifth in the United States in number of students studying the Bible. It is guided by a Chaplain and a Secretary of the Y. M. C.

There are in the United States 6,516,693 illiterate persons ten years of age and over, of which less than one-half are colored. Georgia has established agricultural schools for white youths in every county in the State. A bill has now been introduced to establish one such State school for colored people. The Mississippi Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, which held its sixth annual sessin lately, reported the case of a city in Mississippi where the principal of the white school receives $20 per month more for his services than all the teachers in the colored school combined, and where the Negro children are compelled to use for their educational home the condemned schoolhouse given up by the whites! In this county a former superintendent advertised as very good reasons for his re-election the fact that he had decreased Negro salaries to a minimum, had increased white salaries to a maximum, and that during his term of office not a single Negro school had been erected. The colored people of Louisiana are trying to prevent the removal of the Southern University from New Orleans out into the country. This university is at present the only place where New Orleans children can get state instruction above the sixth grade. In Kentucky hereafter the colored teachers will be elected by the division boards of education instead of by the county boards, and a colored school visitor will be elected in each of the districts of the State. The annual Hampton conference discussed colored schools in Virginia and Negroes in city life. Some attention was given to efforts to introduce proper dancing among the youth. Gammon Theological Seminary and Clark University at South Atlanta, Ga., have had a single president, but next year will revert to the older plan of two presidents. Dr. S. E. Idleman, a white man, was the former president, and there has been much dissatisfaction with his work. In the final settlement of the Peabody School Fund, $1,500,000 goes to the white normal school at Nashville, about $300,000 to other white schools, and $350,000 to the John F. Slater Fund, which is for colored people. The National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools met in Chattanooga under the presidency of W. T. B. Williams. The organization was welcomed to the city by the mayor, and heard during its session papers by H. L. Keith, of Nashville; J. H. A. Brazleton, of Oklahoma; Dr. L. B. Moore and Dr.-G. E. Haynes. M. W. Dogan of Wiley University was elected president for the ensuing year. In Boston .2 per cent. of the teachers and 1.6 per cent. of the pupils in the public schools are of Negro descent. Julius Rosenwald has promised to give $1,250 annually to Meharry College, provided $5,000 is raised elsewhere. He has also given $25,000 to B. T.
