TWENTY-FIFTH INFANTRY ARE HIGHLY PRAISED COLORED SOLDIERS DO HEROIC WORK AT THE RECENT FOREST FIRES IN IDAHO United States Forestry Division Sends Letter Commending the Gallant Soldier Boys Who Helped So Materially In Subduing Forest Fires—Many Instances of the Troops' Faithful And Excellent Services.—Remain At Their Post In Face of Blinding Heat. Washington, Sept. 22—The gallant work of the Twenty-fifth Infantry in fighting the recent forest fires in Idaho, has been commended by the United States Forestry Division in a letter sent to Major Francis J. Kernan, stationed at Fort George Wright. The letter of commendation follows: "I take great pleasure in reporting to you the most excellent and gallant service performed by Company G. Twenty-fifth Infantry, from your post. Special mention is made of service and hearty cooperation with the Forestry Department by Second Lieut Evan E. Lewis. The work as a whole was most valuable, and viewing the conditions that existed at Avery during the hoocost in retrospect, it is unanimously agree that the work of Company G was indispensable. Beyond doubt lives of our citizens and personal property would have been lost to vandalism were it not for the protective power of the soldiers. "One instance of the fire that stands out most prominent was at the time the women and children were loaded on a special train at Avery, in order to escape the pending disaster. Sergei John James and Privates Chester Gurraud, William Hegue, Roy Green and Grandwill Bright were stationed on the train to preserve order and protect the women and children to a place of safety. A galliot of fire was run by this train, the heat being of such my intensity that the car windows were expected to be broken at any time. Those soldiers remained faithfully at their posts on the exterior of the cars and weathered the storm of fire. The story now of the fire is replete with many instances of the troops' faithful and excellent services. The cooperation of Captain George J. Holden has been most agreeable and satisfactory. Words are inadequate to express the most efficient service rendered by officers and men of Company G, Twenty-fifth Infantry. Was A Prominent Minister M. E.

A Daily Scene at the B. M. C. Meeting Last Week ADMINISTRATION HEUSTON ADMINISTRATION HAYFIELD INSURGENTS INCY MAY REDUCE SOUTH'S REPRESENTATION Eastern and Western Congressmen Say South Has An Unfair Advantage. Washington, Sept. 22. Dis.ranchement of the Negro and the unfair advantage it gives to the South in Congress over the rest of the country as well as the question of the reduction of Southern representation in Congress, will most likely come prominently before Congress when the reapportionment bill which follows every census, will be taken up. Whole Congressional districts in the South send men to Congress on votes which are less than what are cast for a member of the City Council in Baltimore and some of the Eastern and Western Congressmen are somewhat irritated at this big advantage a Southern Congressman has over them, and a revival of the Crumpacker bill or one similar, calling for a reduction of representation as provided for in the 14th Amendment, is not unlikely.

When it comes to parliamentary proceeding and equipment for e pre siding officer, Grand Master Morris hashardly an equal in the order. His‘election, for the second time, is most poteworthy indeed, especially when'it 1s remembered that the Odd Fellows, is, practically, a Protestant institution. It is doubtful whether there is in this country among the whites, in fraternal orders, a man so extremely popular, although 2 Roman “Catholic, who could. be elected asthe head of such: organi zation. Mr. Morrisis’a first-clas: lawyer of Chicago, “and we under stand that his practice, as: well as his social life, is almost wholly con fined'to the white race. gi WHAT OF THE B. MC. ‘The great so-called’ Convention of Odd Fellows has been dissolved, and the delegates have returned to their several homes. With respect to: the show portion of the demonstration we have nothing but words of praise for the handsome showing in that direction. Ir is with extreme regret upon our part that we' can: not compliment the: business end o! the affair. For along time, there have: heer public criticism of the extrayaganet and waste upon the part of the.rul ing body with respect to the monies of our people who make up otir Or- der. Some of these criticisms have eminated from one of the official auditors of the accounts of the Or- der, aud from others who have been connected in such a, way as to en- joy most excellent facilities. {or knowing the affairs of the institu- tion. ‘Phe colored, press through ont the country, have time and again directed atteation to. this matter; Hence, it was to be ex- pected, that-at the late meeting in this city that those in authority would been foremost in. encourag- ing the turning on of thelight in or- der to make thoronghly maoilest the absolute falsity of the damaging rumors that have been freely circu: lated all ‘over the country | Not only was this.not done, but on the contrary, a most determined effort seems to have been made to crush ont,as with a “steam roller,” every manifestation of disloyalty to the “ring,” It was. not a question of men, but of principle. It is believed that a majority of thedelegates who came to Baltimore to attend. the late B. M.C.,came hither with the fixed determination to turn “the rascals’’ ont, from top to bottom, and. elect ad entirely uew set of officers. But those ia contro! of the window, without regard to law or decency, firoceeded to “rough”? the meeticg, and’ amid the confusion of a mob declare adopted everything placed upon their private calendar.’ Police officers were stationed at the door of the convention, and only such were allowed to: pass’in as were ap- proved by the grand autoerat from the city of Brotherly Love: Altho the meeting opened on Monday morning, it was late Friday: after- noon when the officers of the Jaw served an injunction upon the offic: jals restraining them trom the“elec- tion. of officers until the Committee on Credentials had made its report, aiid such report had been acted up- on by the body. All the while, de- spite the protests of mavy, business, the adoption of propositions, anda. so-called election of ‘the Editor ol he Odd FellowsJournal, had been proceeded with, ybefore ‘the house was propeily organized for business. Oa fhutsday, near the'end of the brief session, after many of. the del- gates had retired from the hall to yet ready for the parade, amid.ooise snd tumuliuous confusion, the Srand Master -descended. from: ‘bis position, having called another to she chair, and: moved that the body minediately go into. election of.an Editor for the Odd‘ Fellows. Jour- nal... This motion was) declared adopted,” and. immediately the Grand Master nominated the man who was after wards declared ,elect- -d; and thus the’ Grand’ Master. ‘in- ‘erpreted to the order, and ‘to ‘the public at large, his widerstandiog of ‘he meaning of-the \words:’Friend- ship, Love and Truth. “A “brother, jiffers from him,-and’ the other ipgsters,-and' in the spirit of the ibove meutioaed virtues, be is’sum: warily, dismissed, during’ the ’tem- sorary abssice, without the oppor- stunity.to_either, submit “his: report ‘or make his defense. 9S There has scarcely assembled in’ ‘the city of Baltimore-a ‘more disor- derly and audacious mob than that which” filled ‘the hall “on Market Space last week. We sincerely. trust that Baltimore may: néver see the like of itagain: ‘There was not the remotest indication that the sup- posed majority entertained the least idea. whatever of being fair and brothely in their treatment. of the supposed minority. If the. evident need of the Odd {Fellowship is one who can pilot the .ship :to. the rocks; certainly they have found in Grand. Master Houston’ the right man. Unless we are. vastly mis: taken, the days of the “Grand United Order of Odd Fellows’” are aumbered. When the air is filled with ramors with respect ¢o the shameful doings, and extravagance of the ring which has dominated the order. for many years; to such’an extent that it: is reported that nearly. three thousand dollars of the money. of the order has been’ expended, “for which there are.no proper vouckers, that one-man received $225.00 to cover his expenses in travelling from Philadelpbia'to Atlantic’ City; an: | other $60.00'to attend the funera ofex-Grand Master Jones, travelling from ‘the city of Washington to Charleston, W. Va:, and many more such items, one can hardly under: staod:how tliat honorable and ‘hon: est men who.prize their good. names should not seek to: turn on all thi light imaginable. The steam Jroller methods of the late B. M.

Com. mittee of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows adjourned tnally at 9.15 o’ciock last Saturday morning, ‘The day was not without exciting events, especially when John C.

The injunction was gotten out by four men, who were indignant at the’action of the conventiou last Thursday in declaring Henry P Slaughter elected editor-of the Odd Fellows Journal on a viva voct vote. The convention passed th proposition creatidg a. suprem court to be composed of three law. yers, member of thie Order, who wil have fival jurisdiction over all: dis puted questions; a law vesting the election of an editor for the Ode Fellows Jouraal in the Sub-Commit tee of Managentent, instead of with the delegates as heretofore, and o law denying officers in the district grand lodges to hold offices in othe fraternal dodies. Several proposi tions providing-for a reductiow it the number of delegates were de feated. °" § ‘The .issuance of the injuactior made many of the administcatiox supporters angry, ‘and threats o turning Editor Asbury out of the Order were freely made. On th other hand, the Asbury supporter: said that any attempt to disciplin Mr. Asbury would be vigorousls ‘opposed, and some hinted at a pos sible split in‘the Order, While the “steam roller” was in. evidence al ways, some of the iosurgents wer crushed under in the final report 0 the Credential Committee, when a number ol delegates’ credential: ie turned down.

Despite the fact chat explanations were of- fered at: once, the husband is said to have been furious, and was bare- Ip. prevented from creating a_sceue. Since then the lady bas not been seen ou the street, while Rev. Gaines stayed indoors until he, his wife and daughter left the city this syoek. Rev. Gitines isa graduate of How- ard University, Washington, and lias been ia the ministry 26 years. Belore assuming the pastorate: of Joba Wesley, Church, he was dis- trict superintendent of the Anna- polis district. He was regarded yery highly; aod bis. resigaation caused many expressions of regret and sympathy. “Ibis said that members. ot the church begged him to continue as pastor; but that he said that” he could not do so in justice to them, in view of the-sensational turn of affairs, - Pheehurch last Sunday was. ia charge of Rey.

A PRINCE OF DAHOMEY TO WED MARKET GIRL Paris, Sept. 0-Parisians are at present enjoying a royal romance of an unusual character. The principals are the sooth-king and the daughter The King's son is Prince Glegle, whose father was King Behanzin, the ferocious, murdering despot of Dahomey, who, in 1894, was dethroned and exiled by the French. Behanzin was first sent to Martinique, but was afterward transferred where he died in December, 1904. The son of the exiled king, Prince Ouilia, committed suicide in 1905, and another lost his life by the eruption of Mount Pelée in 1908, but Prince Giegle was preserved for better things. He enlisted as a private in the Foreign Legion of the French Army, behaved valiantly in many campaigns, and rose to the dignity of a sergeant. Having served his full time of service, he came to Paris to draw his pension and, while waiting for the War Office certificate, lodged at the house of an honest green grocer, who owned a stall, in the Chateau d'Eau Briar, Glebe fell, in love with the daughter, told his love, and was accepted by mother and daughter; either his flancee nor his future other-in-law seems overwhelmed by the prospect of the princely alliance; indeed, the market woman accepts the royal sergeant with something like tolerance, and insists that the marriage shall not take place until the pension account is fully paid up and duly banked.

FOREIGN VIEW OF RACE PREJUDICE The Novoe Vremya, a leading reactionary journal of Russia, in an editorial showing the universality of race prejudice, and, therefore, its justification for Russia's anti-semitic propaganda, cites the United States as a country where equality of race and opportunity is but a figment in the mind of the dreamer. The editorial, which was translated by the Literary Digest, follows in part: "Many are inclined to look upon the recent anti-Negro riots in the United States as casual and superficial disorders of no great significance. In reality they should be regarded as one of those manifestations of profound racial antagonism inevitable in all countries, in which peoples racially far removed from one another live side by side. The North American democracy considers one of its fundamental principles to be the equality of all, irrespective of race, religion or language. But that equality proclaimed by word and written down on paper, is in practice taken with many qualifications. All are equal except the blacks, the yellows and the reds. Almost all the native Indians have been exterminated, and those who survive have been forebly deprived of their land and all political rights. The Mongolians are absolutely debarred from citizenship in the republic, which is endeavoring to rid itself of them entirely. In 18S2 the Chinese were prohibited from entering the country, and as soon as Japanese immigration began to grow, restrictive measures were passed against the Japanese also. To show their true idea of equality the white population of the West from time to time organizes the cruelest riots in the Asian quarters. Continues the article: "You cannot call the American mobs who participate in the riots 'Black Hundreds,' as in our country. Almost all of them have had at least an elementary education. Nevertheless, not even a liberal form of government can do away with race riots. Just as you cannot bid the sun stand still, so you cannot suppress the racial instinct. But what a loud outcry from the liberal American politicians when the same elemental outburst occurs outside the boundaries of the United States." Reception In Honor of Visitors.

He got on the sand at Atlantic City in a bathing suit. About ten feet away she was drawing pictures in the sand with a small brown forefinger. He noticed her completion, her curves and the glint of gold in her hair. He wanted to speak, and yet—Finally he summoned courage and walked over to her. "Didn't I talk with you for about five minutes two summers ago?" he asked. "Two years ago," she said dreamily. "Two years ago—let me see—did I wear blue silk stockings?" "Why didn't you stay to ascertain how badly the man was injured?" demanded the judge. "Why?" explained the chauffeur. "I knew I could find out from the daily papers." When the yellow streak begins to work out of some people they have a fit of the blues. PUZZLED Hard Work, Sometimes, to Raise Children. Children's taste is oftimes more accurate, in selecting the right kind of food to fit the body, than that of adults. Nature works more accurately through the children. A Brooklyn lady says: "Our little boy had long been troubled with weak digestion. We could never persuade him to take more than one taste of any kind of cereal food. He was a weak little chap and we were puzzled to know what to feed him on. "One lucky day we tried Grape Nuts. Well, you never saw a child eat with such a relish, and it did me good to see him. From that day on it seemed as though we could almost see him grow. He would eat Grape Nuts for breakfast and supper, and I think he would have liked the food for dinner. "The difference in his appearance is: • nothing wonderful. "My husband had never fancied cereal foods of any kind, but he became very fond of Grape Nuts and has been much improved in health since using it. "We are now a healthy family, and naturally believe in Grape Nuts. "A friend has two children who were formerly afflicted with rickets. I was satisfied that the disease was caused by lack of proper nourishment. They showed it. So I urged her to use Grape-Nuts as an experiment and the result was almost magical. "They continued the food and today both children are well and strong as any children in this city, and, of course, my friend is a firm believer in Grape-Nuts for she has the evidence before her eyes every day." "Local 'The Road to Wellville,' found us, 'There's a Reason.'" read the above letter. A new years from time to time.

New Light on Part Taken in Cause of Human Freedom by Miss Susan B. Anthony and Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton Presented by Man Who Believes in Woman Suffrage. Speaking of the part taken in the anti-slavery movement in the United States by Miss Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, F. C. Smith gives the following facts as a reason why Afro-Americans should favor woman suffrage. Mr. Smith says the first time Miss Anthony and Mrs. Stanton met each other was at an anti-slavery meeting in Syracuse, N. Y., in 1851. From that time until the close of the civil war there never was a year in which they did not speak and work for the movement to endicate slavery. This required a courage and sacrifice that can hardly be realized at the present time. Miss Anthony's home was one of the "underground stations" on the road from the south to Canada. In 1856 the American Anti-slavery society engaged her as its organizer in New York. From that time until the beginning of the civil war she gave a large part of her time and strength to canvassing the state and arranging meetings for the "Garrisonians," at which she and Mrs. Stanton always spoke. In the winter of 1851 these meetings in all the towns and cities from Buffalo to Albany were broken up by myds. A number of times when all the men speakers died from the platform Miss Anthony stood upon it alone unflinchingly. She faced the hissing, yelling and stamping of those drunken and infuriated mobs, and on more than one occasion the gleaning of knives and pistols confronted her. When they spoke at Albany the mayor sat beside them with a revolver in his hand. In 1953 it became evident that even the proclamation of President Lincoln would not be sufficient for the emancipation of the slaves unless it was supported by congress. Congress was not willing to give its support unless authorized by the mandate of the people. It was therefore necessary to secure a monster position. Immediately the political leaders called upon Miss Anthony to take charge of this great work. At once she took up her abode with Mrs. Stranton in New York. They issued a call for a "mass meeting" of the loyal women of the nation. In response an immense audience assembled on May 14 in Dr. George B. Chever's famous Church of the Puritans. Miss Anthony called the meeting to order and, with a speech filled with patriotism, nominated Lucy Stone for chairman. Mrs. Stanton, Ernestine L. Rose, the Rev. Antoinette Brown Blackwell and Angelina Grimke Weld were among the speakers. The Women's National Loyal league was formed, with Mrs. Stanton as president and Miss Anthony as secretary. Headquarters were opened in Cooper Union, and here, under the leadership of Miss Anthony, was begun the tremendous task of circulating the peritions to congress for an act which should forever abolish slavery. For fifteen months she never left her post. Her report the following May showed that 250,000 petitions had been sent out. The league now numbered 5,000 members. Miss Anthony began this vast work without the guarantee of a dollar. Its cost far exceeded $8,000, and all of this was raised through her efforts. Among those who gave lectures to assist her were Wendell Phillips, George William Curtis, William D. Kelly, Edwin P. Whipple, Theodore D. Weld, the Rev. Stephen H. Lying, Mrs. Stanton, Francis Dana Gage and Frederick Donglass. Subscriptions were received from Gerrit Smith, Jessie Benton Fremont, the Howey committee, Robert Dale Owen and many others. Henry Ward Bocker took a collection in Plymouth church. Miss Lucy Stone came over from Boston to assist in the work. Senators Charles Summer and Henry Wilson wrote Miss Anthony that these petitions formed the buttwork of their demand for congressional action to abolish slavery. Public sentiment and now become empathic, and on Feb. 1, 1855, the thirteenth amendment was submitted for ratification. Such is the briefest possible sketch of the work of Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton and their loyal associates before and during the civil war. Thus in view of the great and lasting work of these two loyal, liberty loving women every colored American should favor women suffrage. Conference of Superintendents Corresponding Secretary C. H. Hunter of the Afro-American Baptist state Sunday school convention has issued a call for a superintendents conference to be held in Orange, N. T. on Thursday, Sept. 21. A. Barnett Dodson, president of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention, will be the principal speaker at the evening session. What Dr. Arthur M. Brown of Bir- mer provides. Accomplished mingham Has Accomplished. One of the most prominent delegates is the recent convention of the National Medical association, held in Washington, was Dr. Arthur M. Brown of Birmingham, Ahl. Dr. Brown was a potent factor in every phase of the work of the various sessions. It is therefore very gratifying to his many friends throughout the country to know that he was elected chairman of the surgical section of the association. This is one of the most important and most earnestly songt for places in the organization. To be chosen as the head of the department of surgery is a distinction that carries with it the stamp of superior merit. The victory of Dr. Brown over a number of the strongest men in the M. B. organization is a triumph of nation wide significance. It is not doubted that he will maintain the high standard set by his predecessors and add many new and instructive features in advanced surgery, a science of which he is an acknowledged master. Dr. Brown presented a comprehensive analysis of the causes and effects of the "hookworm" disease and made some valuable suggestions touching the means by which its deadly ravages might be checked and finally stamped out. He is a member of the "hookworm commission" and during the coming year will continue the investigation so suspiciously begun by that body. In the past few years Dr. Brown has performed some very important operations in major surgery at the Norcress sanitarium, in which institution he is a consulting surgeon. He is frequently called to various states of the south to conduct clinics and to perform operations of the most delicate character, never failing to produce good results. CONCORD PREPARING FOR NEW ADMINISTRATION. Will Install the Rev. Dr. William M. Moss Sunday, Oct. 16. The Concord Baptist Church of Christ in Brooklyn has begun preparations for the formal installation of its new pastor, the Rev. William M. Moss. D. D. The services are to begin on the second Sunday in October and are to last for one week. The installation ceremony will occur on the third Sunday, Oct. 16. Among the prominent clergymen from a distance who will officiate at the installation service will be the Rev. Dr. W. T. Johnson of Richmond, Va.; the Rev. Dr. W. J. Howard of Washington and the Rev. Dr. W. A. Credit of Philadelphia. Pastors of the various churches of Greater New York will take part in the program each night during the week. The weekly exercises will be held under the auspices of the various organizations of the church, beginning with the deacon board. The church has already taken on new life in all branches of its work. So far the church has been inadequate to hold the great throngs of persons which gather from Sunday to Sunday to hear Dr. Moss' sermons. The pastor and his family are comfortably housed in a beautiful eleven room edifice at JSG Cumberland street. The Kind of Men the People Want. As the fall campaign approaches it becomes more and more evident that men of the different shades of political opinion to which they have formerly adhered are becoming decidedly independent. Political preferment in the future will in a large measure be based upon the principles represented in candidates for the various offices rather than upon distinct party lines. The candidate who stands for the best interest of all the people will win. Jacksonville's New Playhouse. The new Globe theater in Jacksonville, Fla., is attracting considerable attention as the season approaches. It is one of the most attractive playhouses in the south for the accommodation of Afro-Americans. The interior decorations and stage scenery are of the most approved modern type. Only first class performers are booked, and the whole management is of a high order. The attendance at the fall opening of the Avery training school, Pittsburg, on Monday, Sept. 12, was very gratifying to the faculty. Miss Malel Randolph of Philadelphia was been secured as one of the instructors. She is a graduate of Dresel institute and is well qualified for the duties of her new field. TEMPERANCE LESSON TEMPERANCE LESSON Sunday School Lesson for Sept. 25, 1910 Specially Arranged for This Paper LESSON TEXT—Galutians 5:15-26 Morgany, Verser, 22, 23 GOLDEN FEXT—"If we live in the Sphere we also walk in the Spirit— Gal. 5:25. Suggestion and Practical Thought. The adventure with Apollyon the great dragon that fought against Bunyan's Pilgrim, in order to prevent him from reaching the Holy City symbolized a heavenly character, a heaven of eternal life, an earth transformed into heaven. In the lesson appointed we have a characterization of Apollyon, "the foul fond," a monster likeness to behold, clothed with scales, with wings like a dragon, feet like a bear, and a mouth like a lion," auld fire and smoke, throwing "flaming darts as thick as hail." Some years ago, in an article in the New York Journal. John L. Sullivan salut: "Remember, young-man, that if you couldn't lick John L. Sullivan, you can't lick the thing that is stronger than he is. Leave whisky alone." Sullivan was not the kind of man from when one expects moral teaching, but when the great fighter admits that whisky defeated him and took him into captivity, he becomes an object lesson for every young man. With the newspapers and reporters, The Golden Rule—that is the spirit which wants to do to others as we would have them do to us, the spirit that will make sacrifices in order to know how to help others—enlisted the newspapers and the reporters on its side. There can be no inspiration without information. Hence the teacher and class should be constantly collecting temperance material. A month before the temperance lesson she should be directed to say to her class, "I want you all to clip from the papers every article of news concerning the effect of the saloon or drink. Paste these on a strip of cloth, and we will see who has the longest strip on Temperance Sunday." Once in the New Century Teacher there was an article entitled, "Their Exhibits." It told how a teacher asked her scholars to look about during the week for proofs of the evils wrought by the liquor habit. There were some rather unique "exhibits;" one boy brought his bicycle fire that had been cut by a drunken man; others told stories of what they had seen. This same plan could be utilized for a general exercise on Temperance Sunday. For a first attempt, special arrangements would probably have to be made with individuals or with teachers in order to insure definite reports or "exhibits." "It is reported in the public press that President Taft had turned his back on moderate drinking. At a little dinner at Hot Springs, Va., he not only turned his wine-glass down, but said in response to a query, 'Yes, and it is going to stay turned down; I am not going to drink anything again, ever.'" In his early life Lincoln was abstinent but not a total abstainer, but he was a keen observer of the effects of intoxicating beverages among his early companions. Very shortly after his removal to Springfield in 1837, he joined a Total Abstinence society. Seventeen of the presidents of the United States signed the following declaration: "Being satisfied from observation and experience, as well as from medical testimony, that ardent spirit, as a drink, is not only needless, but hurtful, and that the entire disuse of it would tend to promote the health, the virtue, and happiness of the community, we hereby express our conviction that should the citizens of the United States, and especially the young men, discontinue entirely the use of it they would not only promote their own personal benefit, but the good of our country and the world." "A Pennsylvania lady tells that when General Harrison was running for the presidency he stopped at the old Washington house in Chester for dinner. After dinner was served, it was noticed that the general pledged his toast in water, and one of the gentlemen from New York, in offering another, said, "General, will you not taste me by drinking a glass of wine?" The general refused in a very gentlemanly manner. Again he was urged to join in a glass of wine. This was too much. He rose from the table, his tall form erect and in the most dignified manner replied: 'Gentlemen, I have refused twice to partake of the wine-cup. That should have been sufficient. I made a resolve when I started in life that I would avoid strong drink, and I have never broken it.'" The boys and girls can join the Golden Rule in a series of very interesting adventures with the doctors, medical societies and laboratories, where from these friends they may obtain ammunition for their warfare against intemperance. Twenty-three hundred years ago, the question arose whether the Athensians should grant Demosthenes the honor of a crown. He "had fled from battle, and his counsels, though heroic, brought the city to rule. Demosthenes' speech is the masterpiece of all eloquence. Of the accusation by Aeschines it is praise-onough to say that it stands second only to that. In it Aeschines warns the Athensians that in granting crowns they judged themselves and were forming the characters of their children. Self-knowledge cures self-love. M.
