ADA BANKS-DAVIS MAKE THE SCHOOL ROOM SANITARY Another Talk on Fresh Air—Health Hints—Health is Happiness. If the school room is sanitary, it is safe; if not, it is dangerous. The surroundings of pupils in the class room should be as bright, cheerful and attractive as they can be made, if the children are to make the best progress with their educational work. Don't forget that if health makes for happiness, happiness makes for health. So don't be a grouch, even if you don't feel just first rate. It may be safely assumed that the habitual grouch and grumbler has some chronic physical ailments, and the chances are, too, that the grouchy disposition tends to aggravate his physical troubles. So keep your temper, look on the bright side of things, take the sunny side of the street, get all the fresh air you need, and you'll pull through all right. A few weeks more and the winter days will be here, also the snow will come down and the sidewalks will need cleaning. In Chicago, and especially in the residence districts the sidewalks are, as a rule, shamefully neglected. This coming winter let us all do better and keep our sidewalks clean and free from snow and ice. "Where is the health side of such advice as this?" you ask. Well, you'll find it in getting out of doors in the fresh, crisp, wintry air, and in the exercise you'll get by using the snow shovel for a half hour or so, after each fall of snow. Also, don't be small about it, and if your neighbor is not fully alive to his responsibilities, why clean his walk for him a time or two and make him ashamed of himself. Be sensible and cheerful, good-natured and kind. Don't worry. Keep your poise. Look troubles squarely in the face and most of them will turn ```markdown ``` --- A Fearless, HONEST CHAMPION of the People "I never shot Jack Johnson, the daily newspapers lied on me," so declared Mrs. Ada Banks-Davis to a Chicago Defender reporter this week when questioned regarding the sensational stories published in the daily newspapers to the effect that "angry with the champion she had shot him in the leg." Mrs. Banks, as she is better known, was seen at her home, 3411 Forest avenue. She had just returned from appearing before the federal grand jury, having been summoned by them as a witness in their efforts to find something tangible in the many horrible stories published in the daily newspapers about the champion. "This story is ridiculous," continued the famous song bird, "why I never handled a revolver in my life and I never had any occasion to do so, so far as Mr. Johnson is concerned. In the first place I am not a cafe singer. I have tried to get the reporters to publish the facts, but you know that they are only looking for a new sensation. My employment at the Café de Champion was not from choice. But while I was in Mr. Johnson's service he was a considerate employer. He is a lover of merit, but he has done no more than any other satisfied employer would do." Family Breadwinner Mrs. Banks was the star attraction at the Monogram theater, when her husband compelled her to give up that position and accept one at the Cafe de Champion. Rumor has it that Mrs. Davis' better half, called for short "Dog" Davis, is not all that he should be to his gifted wife. She has long been the breadwinner of the family, providing everything. It was also learned that Mrs. Davis has been separated from her husband about two months. Does Not Have to Sing Ragtime. Some of the stories published about Mrs. Davis said that she was a singer of "ragtime" songs. This her friends deny, saying that those who know her know that Chicago has no more talented singer and that she don't have to sing "ragtime." Mrs. Davis is the daughter of Rev. J. J. Fleming of Gilmer, Texas. She studied voice culture at the Chicago Musical College. She is a graduate of Roger Williams University. She became well known in the theatricals during three seasons with Williams and Walker. For two seasons she was the understudy for Mrs. Aida Overton-Walker. When the Pekin was under the management of its lamented founder, Robt. T. Motts, she was one of the favorites there. Drawing Card at Local Theaters. Later when South State street became dotted with theaters she was a top liner at the Grand theater. Everywhere her matchless voice with its perfect training has given her the best praise that the critics could bestow. In Chicago Mrs. Banks is well liked and the story that she had shot Champion Jack Johnson is considered a grievous wrong to a talented and ambitious woman. Mr. Davis could not be located. The reporter was anxious to interview him regarding the much talked of suit for $25,000 against Jack Johnson for alienating his wife's affections. The Week with "Jack." All sorts of rumors have been afloat this week regarding the champion. His affairs have ceased to command a first page position in the daily newspapers, but they have given him a good time on the inside. Every day has brought forth a fresh story. One day he has been sued by a laundry company for a large sum for laundry work for his cafe, the next day a wild Kentuckian is seeking his blood with a brace of "485" and a repeating rifle. Then the reader is told that the difficulty in bringing important witnesses from other cities has delayed his trial in the local courts and the investigations of the federal grand jury. Family Troubles Galore. His family is a favorite topic with many writers. When everything else fails, his mother, "Brother Charley" or even the home at 3344 must furnish material for a story. "What's the latest in the newspapers?" asks the champion when he meets a Defender reporter. "Why," said the scribe, "you are to study for the ministry." "All right," was his reply, "anything that the daily newspapers decree I must abide by." Mary Louise CHICAGO, ILL.. SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1912. MRS. ADA BANKS-DAVIS.

DISGUSTING GUM CHEWING HABIT Both Sexes of the Race Likened Upon Cows Chewing Cuds—Should "See Themselves as Others See Them." The chewing gum habit has taken hold of our people and everywhere you go, on the streets, in the surface or elevated cars, in the school room, in the house of God, on the ballroom floor—everywhere and at all times nearly everyone has his or her jaws going like a cow chewing her cud in the pasture. The only difference between the two is that the poor dumb brute of a cow leisurely chews hers and is contented to swat flies in the summer and stare in wonder while she lays lazily on the floor of her stall in the winter and occasionally moos, but our boys and girls, and some older ones, too, try to see how fast they can go it, keeing up a running conversation, only stopping to swallow the saliva and gum too, sometimes. Then again you will see one of our young stylishly dressed girls expectorate on the floor of the street car, or else, if she has her gloves removed, take the gum from her mouth between her thumb and forefinger and pull it out as far as she can without the gum breaking, and after the same has been exposed to the microbes of the air, return it to her mouth and start chewing again at an enormous pace. We have nothing against the chewing gum trust, but look at some of the girls yourself and see how ridiculous it looks. It is only a habit, and a disgusting one at that. In some of those Latin-American republics it seems easier to be President than to be right. Lillian Elkins Davis was born in Winchester, Ky., Feb. 23, 1869. She was the eighth of ten children, all girls, three of whom survive her. Her parents, George and Sarah Elkins, are both deceased. She passed her girlhood in Winchester and when she became a young woman her ambitions urged her to make her way to this progressive city where she has lived twenty-four years. On Sept. 26, 1892, she was united in marriage to Robert C. Davis by Rev. Lealtad. She was an affectionate, dutiful and faithful wife. Possessed of noble ideals herself she inspired all those around her to higher things. She was kind and charitable, and for years was interested in the Amanda Smith Orphan Home. She was a member of the Altar Guild under Rev. Lealtad's priesthood at St. Thomas' church and a member of the Woman's Aid. Ten days prior to her death she contracted a severe cold, which developed into acute pneumonia. She was patient all through her illness, and would often ask to have the 23d Palm read to her. Rev. Jackson visited her the last day of her illness. The end came peacefully and quietly after much suffering. She leaves a devoted husband, three sisters and a host of friends to mourn her loss. NEW SCHOOL IN KEN- TUCKY. SHELBYVILLE, KY.-The Lincoln Institute of Kentucky, a new institution for the education of Negroes in trades and practical arts, was formally dedicated recently with interesting exercises. The institute starts on its career with several new well-equipped buildings and a large force of competent teachers.

Special to The Chicago Defender. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 1—Independence avenue, from Grand avenue to Troost avenue, is an unsafe street for the general public to travel. Men and women fire bullets across the street at each other, and the police on the beat fail to check them. Men and women get drunk on what is termed "Dago Mary" (a wine). Two rowdies fired four shots at each other Saturday night, Oct. 26, at 8 p. m. One man is called "Happy," a bartender, and the other man's name could not be learned. Two hours later a woman shot through a window at her lover, the bullet passing through his overcoat. The police captured her and the victim of the shot. The station house became so packed with prisoners that the chief of police had to use the county jail. The majority of these prisoners were arrested for indulging in too much "Dago Mary." Bob Marshall, a policeman, was shot and killed on 18th street a month ago and the man who shot him is in the county jail awaiting trial. Rev. Hurst, whose church is at the corner of Chollete and Independence avenue, was saved from a bad gang of rufians a short time ago. A patrol wagon was called to take him to his residence. He was attacked, it is said, because of some remarks he made concerning the rough element of women in Kansas City who are sitting around on street corners at nights with a can of beer-whisky, and smoking cigarettes at 18th street and Independence avenue. The city is full of vagabonds, and as there is plenty of work, there is no need of any man or woman loafing who wants to work. Of course, all races cannot eat or drink any place that they want to. In this "Jim Crow" city all the play houses put the different races together. There are four play houses operated by the race, two on 18th street and two on 12th street, near Vine and Highland avenue, all on the east side, and one weekly paper, "The Sunday Sun." and about four drug stores, and the writer could not learn how many doctors and lawyers. There is also a first class hotel owned by J. C. Jones at 1015 Oak street. ATTORNEY AND MRS. MARDIS ENTERTAIN AT WHIST PARTY Celebrate Fifth Wedding Anniversary by Entertaining Friends—Prizes Awarded. Lawyer and Mrs. M. A. Mardls of 3838 Prairie avenue celebrated the fifth anniversary of their marriage on Oct. 26. Progressive whist was the order of the evening, for which prizes were awarded. The participants were: Mr. and Mrs. S. Lang Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Allen, Mr. and Mr. Julius Glen, Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Barnett, Dr. and Mrs. D. E. Burrows, Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Morton of Austin, Ill., Mr. Geo. Johnson of New York, Mrs. James Brown, Mrs. Minnie Nuby and Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Green. The games were played with zeal and enthusiasm. The first prize, a cut glass toothpick holder, was won by Mr. Thomas Allen, and the booby prize was won by Mrs. Barnett. Refreshments were served and all had a merry time. FLAT RESIDENTS IN DAILY PERIL OF DEATH BY FIRE Reporters Find Old Time Fire Escape, Despite Stringent Laws to the Contrary. A fire that could cut off the escape from the front entrance of the flat building on the northwest corner of Dearborn and 30th streets would cause a great loss of life in the families living on the second and third floors. There is a semblance of a fire escape in the rear but that is inadequate, as no one can reach it from the windows. The thing that is wanted is an up-to-date fire escape. The only way for those on the second or third floors to escape in case of a fire would be to jump. A fine situation for a woman or child to be in! This is a matter that the attention of the building commissioner should be called to. (Special to The Chicago Defender.) Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 1.—Miss Maria Tompkins, who was very popular in social circles in Chicago, has kept up her standard since a resident of Buffalo. This week she entertained a few friends at whist. Mrs. Jennie Wimp, formerly of Chicago, but now of Buffalo, was the winner of the first prize. Miss Tompkins has made mar friends in the east, and if Chicago spare a few more such brilliant women we will gladly welcome th 15 YEAR OLD CHILD SO TO BE MOTHER; AD TAGE TAKEN IN COUNTY No Pity and No Help for the Unfortunate Child, Who Lies, an Object of.

Mrs. Jessie McFerrin, aslee) lonely graveyard, is responsibl the present condition of her da Mator, 17 years old, at present a mate in the maternity ward of Cook County hospital. An article relating her sad plight was published in the last Saturday's issue of the Chicago Defender. Reporters this week fully investigated the matter and found that the unfortunate girl since birth had been handed from hand to hand and had long been a ward of the county. Mrs. Nancy Smith, an aged lady, was found at her residence, 3609 Dearborn street. Mrs. Smith knew Mator well, having cared for her when quite a youngster. "I lived at 4758 Dearborn street, when I cared for her. She was a lovable child and tried to help herself in every way. She had no vices and I was surprised to hear of her present plight, also of her mother's death. But she is not to blame. A probation officer took her from her mother. She was placed in my charge. Later she was removed. Her mother took charge of her again and the last time I remember seeing her was with her mother, who was then employed on Indiana avenue." Mrs. Smith could not recall many names or addresses. But she told of the activity of a woman probation officer, at that time connected with the St. Paul's M. E. church. It was also learned that the girl's father still lives in Chicago and that her grandmother is a well-to-do resident of Harvey, Ill. A brother has also been spoken of in the investigation. Some of the women's clubs have interested themselves in the matter and immediate results for the child's good are probable. In the meantime Frank Chaplim remains safely in custody. Prominent Forester and Well Known Waiter Dies on Saturday. Mr. George D. Allen, a prominent member of Court General Robert Elliott, No. 7895, Foresters, and for many years connected with the caterers and hotels in this city, died at his residence, 3235 Prairie avenue, Saturday, Oct. 28. Funeral services over the remains were held at his residence on Tuesday. Interment was at Delaware, O. Mr. Allen is survived by a wife, a son and two daughters. Last Tuesday afternoon Mrs. J. T. Sutherland, a trained nurse, received severe internal injuries upon alighting from a State street car at 28th street. When interviewed by a Chicago Defender reporter she said: "In alighting from the street car I immediately noticed an approaching automobile wagon belonging to the on Laundry Corporation." a h loose or entirely off, minus a hinge or wh of plaster have fallen places.

The present political campaign, the most interesting and the most important since the election in which Abraham Lincoln triumphed over the combined powers of the copperheads and the mugwumps, has developed many new men, first in one camp, then the other; and it has freely drafted from many fields. But the most interesting character, the most engaging and doubtless the most effective worker, has been taken from the great field of journalism. If of the Republican National Committee at Chicago it should be asked who is its most useful "who," who its most striking division commander, without hesitancy the reply would be "Brown—Phil Brown." Phil H. Brown has long enjoyed what is called a national reputation. That is, thinking men, reading men and men of action everywhere know him as a gifted writer, a moving spirit in the world of feeling; himself a genius, long a comrade of the masters in his sphere. Mr. Brown was schooled with Harry T. Burleigh, the composer and soloist; with Cole, the actor and producer; with Paul Laurence Dunbar, and with all the rest of that brilliant coterie that years ago scattered to all parts to settle to their careers. His quiet poems and stories in the Negro dialect were happy features of the Strand Magazine of London, some fifteen years ago, and he contributed upon various occasions to different magazines and other periodicals. His "Mahchin" Wid de Ban," Hannah," which Rosamond Johnson set into a pretty song, and "When de Watah-milyum's Ripe," are about as classic as the dialect gets to be. Phil Brown "set stakes" in Kentucky. There he has rapidly become the organizing genius among his own people, and one of the important public characters among all the people, publishing a daily paper at Haplinsville for several years. His journalistic work long ago made for him a place apart in the serious work of his profession. It has continued and through it he has become friend and associate of important political figures not only in the political state of Kentucky, but everywhere through the Union. Mr. Brown's work in the Republican organization of Kentucky, work that set a standard, attracted the attention of the national Republican leaders. When Charles F. Scott, chief of the Publicity Bureau of the Republican party, saw that he needed an assistant, he and his advisers, without ado or halting, settled upon Mr. Brown, choosing him from a great list of available men of all sections. He was given the work of handling the colored newspapers, but his great energy and his wonderful store of knowledge have given him control of many things connected with the labors of the committee. His is a final word, and towards his sanctuary all men seem to turn. Mr. Brown's services in connection with the newspapers of the west are far in advance of whatever services have been given in the past by any man. The most popular official at the Auditorium, and this by common consent, he hears that popularity and all his honors with the unaffected simplicity of the gentleman. Dellcately Expressed. Little Bobby had been eating raspberry pie and had left the marks of it at both sides of his mouth, when a little friend of three came in and said to Bobbie's mother: "Mrs. C—, can I have some of what Bobbie's got on his face?"

Some time back Mr. Bell had some business troubles and everyone forsook him but his wife. She secured funds that cleared up the matter. Mr. Bell never forgave those friends (?), but loves his wife all the more. Mr. and Mrs. Bell were among the first subscribers to the Chicago Defender. WHERE IS MRS. HENRY JONES? A Strange Tale of a Pair of Glasses and a Hat. Although rMs. Henry (Teenan) Jones has been suffering with her eyes and was compelled to wear glasses, she forgot them entirely when the new fall hats were displayed at Marshall I Feld & Co.'s. It is reported that she even had an argument with a saleslady about the wrong shades of some pink and blue ribbons. A Defender reporter could not get in at her residence on Evans avenue. Someone said that she had gone to Milwaukee and was registered at the Turf Hotel. The Defender correspondent there said that Mrs. Jones had not been in Milwaukee for some time. All the scribe knows is that a $50 hat was delivered to Mrs. Jones and that she does not wear glasses any more. NEW FLAT BUILDING FOR GARY. Prominent Chicago Couple to Build in "The Steel City." Gary, Ind., Nov. 1.—(Special.)—Mr. and Mrs. James Woodard were in this city Wednesday. They were first seen alighting from an automobile at the City Hall. Then they visited Fritz & Hagans, building contractors. About noon your correspondent met them on Washington street, and they took dinner at the Gary House. From good authority it is learned that they intend to build an eight-story modern apartment house here. The contractors spoke in high terms of Mr. and Mrs. oWodard and hoped that others of the race would build here. They left for Chicago in the early evening over the electric road. DOUBLE EDITION IS EXHAUSTED Copies of The Chicago Defender Go Like the Proverbal Hot Cakes. Last week the regular edition of The Chicago Defender was entirely exhausted Saturday night. A larger edition issued on Monday went equally as fast. News dealers can not be supplied, but there are about a dozen copies yet remaining at the office, 3159 State street. Had a Good Excuse.

Here is one of the stories, says the American Greeting, from the old man's row in front of the barber shop: One man said back in Pennsylvania they farmed the land where the hills were so steep that when they planted potatoes one man had to hold them in a furrow while another man covered them up. When they dug them in the fall they were simply allowed to roll to the bottom of the hill before any attempt was made to pick them up. The Hard Part "Huh!" says the friend.

Speaking of the new Eighth Regiment armory—what's the delay? Last season's overcoat doesn't look so bad after all. If the successful candidates keep all their pre-election promises, won't this be a glorious country of ours? It doesn't matter who is elected Tuesday, kindly remember we told you so. The Defender has a happy faculty of being on the right side and sticking thorns. Had you noticed it? This thing of serving your country is so much per serve is a little patriotism that we would all like to indulge in. When the smoke of battle is cleared away, if you haven't a firm seat in the band wagon don't blame anybody but yourself. When voting for a governor remember that it's getting right close to home and the party doesn't cut so much figure as the man. The man on the political fence had better begin to tumble on one side or the other if he expects to be on the ground when the plums fall. The daily papers were so busy denouncing Jack Johnson that they entirely overlooked the little affair at the County hospital. We are certainly living in a fast age; there is something doing every minute. No wonder the cost of living is so high. Just what will become of some of our campaign orators after election is a question, especially the street corner ones. The cold snap may remind them though that many people are in need of good janitors. If the North and the South would mutually adopt each other's virtues and reject each other's vices, the net result would be something far better than we now witness in either North or South.

We it if he told t to us --- The true joys of halloween are for the country boys where gates, fences, old wagons, etc., seem to be lying around waiting for the bonfire. The city boy contents himself with masking and making as much noise as is possible for one human being to do, and right here let us state that the average live boy can make you believe at times that he is a dozen. Promoter McCarey says: "I don't want to appear as trying to dictate to the boxing world but I would like to suggest that a new diamond belt be made for white boxers only." Probably, after all, that is the easiest way out of it. If they really must have a white hope, they certainly would never get one any other way. Readers of The Chicago Defender are urged to exercise more care in their choice of language when talking over the telephone. Those hateful terms that make you so angry when applied by others should-not be used by you even in a jest. Can you see the point, or must we tell you more? To stroll up Wabash avenue and get a look at the magnificent new Y. M. C. A. building, now near completion, is a good tonic, especially for the pessimist who believes the race is either standing still or going backward. This element of people who are ever attempting to impede progress should stick a pln in themselves and realize they are living in a progressive age and the year, instead of 1840, is 1912. Think of what a golden opportunity the yellow journals are missing by not spreading broadcast the dastardly crime said to have been committed by a white interne at the Cook County hospital. Surely the simple fact that the offender was white and the victim was a poor, sick colored girl would not deter them. Far be it from such. But, shades of the immortal George Washington Jr., suppose the colors were reversed? What they do in Oklahoma is really of very little importance to anyone outside of that ranch, and the only time we hear of them is when they try to meddie in other people's affairs. Some of their alleged newspaper reporters have interviewed prominent (?) colored men there as to their views on Jack Johnson. What these prominent people said and what the newspapers said they said may be two different things; but, suffice to say, we wouldn't waste valuable space reproducing it as some of our Chicago dailies did. The managers of the local theaters have been notified by letter this week that Mme. Minnie Adams has again resumed the musical and dramatic work. Every courtesy extended Mme. Adams will be appreciated by the management, and we know that her brilliant review of the attractions at the various playhouses will please both the players and the management. The vast crowds that night fill these houses will also be pleased. Mr. Frank A. Young edits our sporting columns. He also does considerable work as a reporter. His photograph illustrates the seventh page, and with the proper credentials he is introduced to the public. Mme. Schumann-Heink, the world's greatest contelo, and the one who did so much to make Alfred Anderson's and De Koven Thompson's "If I Forget" popular, will become a permanent resident of Chicago. She is the forerunner of a brilliant company of artists who will make this city their headquarters. It does not seem to be generally known that we have in our race right here some of the best talent to be found in the country. Mr. Tinsley, with the Choral Study club, has demonstrated what could be done along that line. The Thomas Orchestra has to be supported in a great measure by voluntary subscriptions. Then is it not doubly necessary that we support and encourage our own musical organizations? Chicago is destined to be the musical center of the country. Let us keep apace with them. "A certain amount of fleas," says David Harum, "is good for a dog. It keeps him from brooding upon the fact that he is a dog." And so a certain amount of self assertion and independence is good for a race, especially a race maligned and imposed upon as the Negro race. Like the flea to the dog they have stuck to the Grand Old Party, in their childlike faith believing the crumbs that fall from their table would satisfy an ever increasing appetite. But something has happened to awaken them from their lethargy. Perhaps it is the ever-increasing appetite, perhaps fewer crumbs are falling. Let us be thankful, whatever the cause. The shrewed housewife deals with the merchant who gives her more goods or better goods for her money than the other fellow. The banker puts his money out where it will draw the most interest. The politician caters to the man or set of men who can get him votes, and so on down the line. But who ever heard of a man running after a street car after he caught it? The Republican party has ever been under the impression that they held a first mortgage on the Negro vote, and, if they felt so disposed, they descended to brush a few crumbs from the "ple" table in a mechanical sort of way, not that it was necessary, mind you, but for appearance sake. Times have changed, and when the returns come in next Tuesday everybody will be surprised, and from now on let it be distinctly understood the Negro vote will go to the party that will conserve his interests, let that party be what it may. Our W The Gaudeam on Oct. 28 at the Jimmison, 6014 will meet on No Mrs. Clara M. street. Several with the president will visit the Amanda Smith home and take clothing for the little ones. THE JOLLY TWENTY CLUB. The Jolly Twenty Club met at the residence of Mrs. Lucille Roberts, 1130 Wells street. Session opened at 8 p. m. with the president, Mrs. Harrison, in the chair. During the business session a number of important items were discussed. Mrs. Mayme Harris was accepted as a new member. Club will meet with Mrs. Lydia Landers, 1103 Clark street, Evanston, in two weeks. Mrs. Roberts served a dainty lunch in two courses. THE EDITOR'S MAIL. PROUD OF HER RACE. , Oct. 25, 1912—Mr. R. S. Abbott—Dear Sir: We have confronting us not the pestilence of slavery, but the pestilence of race prejudice—and it seems to be raging at a terrible pitch. "What fools ye mortals be" is well applied in many instances. "Yet 'tis true," we may say again. "Fools." God bless them! What would we do if everyone were wise? In reading your paper from time to time I can readily see the great good which our race is doing. I am among some of those who feel proud of the fact that I am one of the race, and that we can see ourselves as others do not see us. We have shown to us the good and bad in both races. It is well for us to ask ourselves the question. What is the meaning of life? If life is anything at all, it has a meaning. "Let us hope that that there is some good in everyone. Even among the worst we find some good. It is well for us to consider and lay that barrier of prejudice aside. We wish to show the Anglo-Saxons that we are as harmless and gentle as lambs, and that criminality did not have its origin in black blood. These are so many things we should think over and speak about that there is no reason why we should not do so, in regards to the good and betterment of the race. The fight which women are making in regard to voting carries my mind back to days while in school. Our teacher, while lecturing to us one day, related the fact that the time would come when women would be called upon to vote. I myself thought of it as a huge joke, but this time may yet come. This is naturally an interesting period of life for me. I have not studied deeply enough into the matter of casting a vote myself, but feel that as I have a husband to vote for me I wish to influence him to cast his vote as a man should. We as women may lend great assistance to the men by helping them cull out all the good that we may see in the man whom we choose as our political head. We may laugh at the thought, but it is true that we have men in our own race that could fill the positions of either Mr. Taft or Mr. Rosevelt if that pestilence of prejudice could forever be wiped out of existence. And so let the Anglo-Saxons, as well as the Negroes, search themselves and we may be able to locate where our enemies dwell and thereby remove this barrier of prejudice. May we as Negroes find this a lofty and inspiring quattrain: "So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When Duty whispers low, "Thou must!" The youth replies, "I can." I am, sir, with great respect, MRS. ELENANOR G. MOMAN. 3612 Rhodes Avenue. To the Editor: The Negro race, and most especially the younger generation, seems to be facing a condition in our economic life which deserves the sober consideration and most careful study of every member of our race. We cannot turn our eyes to the starry sky and feel that all is safe with our economic life. The constant decreasing opportunities of employment, the increase of foreign labor, racial animosity and the failure to make good in many instances (we must admit), with these powerful factors drawing from a field that has never known its fullness have struck with telling blows and caused the question of food, clothing and shelter and the ability of the Negro race to meet it, to become a very grave and serious one. We must become more vigilant, more energetic, and aim to produce some telling results along the lines of creating opportunities, exercising ambition, and persistency, stimulating honesty, integrity and tac, and, "test we forget," loathing our people, if we are to be standard of living, hold our position in human society and keep in line with the progressive spirit of the age. Seeking a remedy or relief for these conditions brings us to one plausible solution, but one that it seems, to a great extent, yet foreign to our race, that of "co-operation." As a struggling race, which has begun to see the dawn of light, we cannot, must not and should not be altogether dependent on the dominant race for employment. We have come a long way in a half century, and we have about reached the point where we must urge "co-operation" among our people, politically, socially and industrially. We must perform those duties which others have been performing for us, broaden out commercially, create employment for our people, and launch a new era of race consciousness and solidarity which will mean much in ushering forth the economic independence of the present generation and their children. In population, the Negro is on the increase; in opportunity, the Negro is on the decrease. This condition must not live if the Negro is to live. Co-operation for the Negro. One for all and all for one. Respectfully yours, J. JACKSON TILFORD. Merely Muddy. o are allus impress," said Stubblegrass, "by what they brought.

God works on us every day, but He has not succeeded in making one of us perfect. We must be awful. A woman philosophizes thus: "It is better to get along with a man than to get along without him, especially if he is a man." The devil has awful good luck handling the human race. To work some one else is generally easier than to work ourselves; hence its popularity. Many a married man has just enough ambition to take care of one. A Christian lady often lets her light shine when she is searching for her husband's trousers in the dark. Many a man grumbles about hard work, while his boss grumbles about poor work. It is often distasteful to men to put up with the woman they keep up. Most of the things we do would have been done better if we had done our best. When we ask a man for money and he fails to lend it to us we ought to give him credit for being wise and on the alert. It is common to hear of men having more women than love. **Women Should Keep Their Places.** At a meeting of a woman suffrage organization in Kansas City, Kan., it was suggested that the members talk to their servants and other women workers with a view to forming an estimate as to the strength of suffrage sentiment in that particular locality. One member, who has employed the same washerwoman for the last six years, reported that she put the question to this worthy lady. "Are you in favor of votes for women?" the suffrage woman asked. "I don't pay any attention to politics," the washerwoman replied. "I leave all that to my husband." "Well, how does your husband stand on woman suffrage?" "He don't stand at all. He believes in women staying at home and minding their own business." "How many families do you wash for?" "And what does your husband do Mary?" "He ain't doing anything right now —unless he found something this morning." Broncho Saved Rider Nathaniel Diaz of New York, who is spending his vacation at Diamond Spring Inn, Denville, N. J., is recovering from a severe shock he experienced recently. Diaz saddled a broncho shortly after daylight to enjoy a ride through the mountains. As he was galloping alone, Diaz saw an automobile coming around a curve at 50-mile-an-hour speed. The road was narrow. On either side were high ledges of rock. The auto could not stop quickly enough to avoid a collision. The horse could not turn and race before the automobile. At the moment collision seemed inevitable the wiry little animal jumped over the small car. No one was hurt. Diaz is still very nervous. He says he will pension the broncho. More Race Suicide. And now Austria joins the general chorus of lament for a falling birth rate. The figures have been dropping since 1902, and, to make matters worse, the death rate has sometimes been abnormally high. Austrian officialism is said to be gravely disturbed by this apparent unwillingness to be born, and it need hardly be said that the airliness is on behalf of the army. It always is in such cases. But no economist has yet advanced a reason why any one should wish to be born in Austria, nor why anyone already born should be unwilling to die at any convenient opportunity. Server Music Steaming Hot An indulgent father took his young son to the circus. The boy had witnessed the street parade earlier in the day and was especially interested in the calliope, the shrill music of which he heard immediately upon arriving at the show grounds. He wanted to inspect the strange instrument and dragged his father across the lot and up to the machine. Both could feel the heat from the boiler. The boy looked it over carefully and watched the operator pounding out the familiar tunes, then turning to his father said: "Gee, that's certainly hot music!" Secret Lock. If you have several small drawers in a bookcase or desk you can lock one of them in a manner most difficult to discover by boring a hole through the piece between two of the drawers and into the drawer. Fit a peg into this just tight enough not to slip down, and the drawer cannot be opened until the one above it is pulled entirely out to give access to the peg. The Cause. "Her husband came home the other day and found Jennie in an awful fit." "Good gracious! What caused it? Acute indigestion?" "No; her dressmaker."

"And yet so many who say that have no compunctions about keeping a poor man hustling to pay alimony." Nothing-Thrown but Words Nothing Threw but Words. Wife—"My husband and I had a quarrel. He called me a virgo." Her Friend—"Don't you mind. If he got away safe, and sound, it pretty good, evidence that you're not." There is only one thing wrong with Indian summer. That is its brevity. PENCHANT FOR THE TELEPHONE. Of the 22,000,000,000 telephone calls that passed through the central offices of the world during 1911 no less than 14,500,000,000, or 60 per cent, were from Americans. In other words, Uncle Sam took down the receiver just about twice as often as all the rest of the world combined. With this fact in mind, it is not at all surprising to learn that of the 12,453,000 telephones in the world the United States has no fewer than 8,362,000, or that-the American telephone investment is $1,025,000,000, compared with a world's total of $1,729,000,000. Most of these things should occasion no astonishment. The telephone is an American invention, its utility was first appreciated by Americans, and Americans have been most persistent in employing it and making it an important factor in their everyday lives. Everybody knows this, says the Cincinnati Times-Star. But one thing not so generally known is that the wide use of the telephone in this country has been accompanied by corresponding neglect of that other and earlier American invention for eliminating distance—the telegraph. When the figures concerning the world's employment of the telegraph are given it is a different story. Only 17 percent of the 579,000,000 telegrams sent in the world in 1910 were forwarded in this country. According to the Scientific American of recent issue, a method of economizing electrical energy employed for domestic heating or cooking is to receive the energy continuously at a low rate in a resistance apparatus which transforms it into heat and then stores the heat for use as needed. In a new electric cooking apparatus operating in this way the heating unit, consuming 500 watts total or 12,000 watts hours per day of twenty-four hours, serves to keep a mass of cast iron hot enough to cook food in ordinary utensils placed in contact with it. The cast iron block is thermally insulated by being inclosed in a surrounding wall of lampback or powdered silica, and a movable block is arranged to be raised above the main mass, so as to expose its upper surface when cooking is to be done. The small current consumption, less than that of an electric flatiron, enables the device to be operated on the ordinary electric light wiring of the house. A society of Gotham brides have organized an antimagging club, with rules denouncing the new woman who knows nothing of housekeeping, and prescribing that husbands shall have their breakfasts at any old hour, served by neatly dressed wives, that husbands shall be kissed duly on their return, and have an evening oft every week to spend how and where they please. The praises of this club will be fervently sung throughout the land and its members will be held up as exemplars for their sex, but the pessimistic will recall that these members will not stay brides. Today the free lunch is one of the deepest-rooted trees in our forest of hardy conventions. Occasional efforts have been made to tear it up from the friendly American soil, but without avail, says the New York Sun. To be sure, some of its greatest luxuriance has been lopped off; such free lunches as some set forth in that Augustan age known as the "Jim Fisk Renaissance" no longer stimulate the vitals of the casual visitor to even the most open-handed caterers to the public thrist. The receipt of two cents for the consolence fund in Washington has been regarded in quite a humorous light, but if all were to act under the sense of obligation to the government shown by the wonder of this infinitesimal contribution, the fund might be big enough to build a dreadnought. A Kansas City mother has earned the eternal gratitude of the general public by invading a baby "silencer." Cry and protest as it may, the baby can make no noise. The idea of this "silencer" might be extended with profit to older shoulders. Those white Eskilmos, recently discovered, are an interesting people. They don't appear to be subject to crime waves, political unrest and other disadvantages of a more advanced civilization. A New York man went mad at the sight of water, and shot his wife. There is danger, in exposing individuals to sudden shocks of that character. It is predicted that the race will die out in 150 years. Naturally, there will be alarm, not to say panic over the imminent calamity. Abdul Hamid and Porfrio Diaz are as happy in their retirement as two clams at high tide. A manager has sued a prima donna. Even the meekest worm will turn in time. The army worm has joined in the general belligerency of the day. History Repeating Itself The recent report that Captain Smith of the ill-fated Titanic had been seen alive and recognized on the streets of Baltimore by a follow-mariner, calls to mind a similar story of Fletcher Christian, the leader in the famous mutiny of the Bounty. Christian, years after he was supposed to have perished on Pitcairn island, was, it is asserted, seen and recognized in London by one of the officers of the Bounty. History—or more probably in these cases, balloonation—repeats itself. HOW REPUBLICAN PARTY HA HELPED AMERICAN CITIZENS BY LEGISLATION, SPLENDID RECORD OF YEARS Shall This Creative Work Be Checked by Democratic Miserule and Obstructive Laws—Government Will Be Safe in Taft's Hands. No phase of all the constructive legislation by the Republican party is pointed to with more genuine pride than that relating to the establishment and maintenance of our American home. From the passage of the homestead law, back in 1862, in the time of Lincoln, down to recent laws looking to the reclamation of our arid lands, the home construction work of the Republican party has been continued with patriotic persistence and enthusiasm. The party is responsible for all home-making legislation during the last half century. Some recent and important work along this line has been the national irrigation law, the measure authorizing the issue of bonds in aid of government irrigation, projects and the conservation policies of the last few years. These all have for their object the development and reclamation of the fertile but arid west, and making it the home of millions of American citizens who will plant their feet permanently in the soil and call no man master. Not only has the party created these favorable conditions and established the homes under them, but it has enacted laws favoring the toller at every turn, and insuring him the largest rewards for his labors, as well as the broadest advantages for his family. The Republican doctrine of a protective tariff is directly responsible for the industrial prosperity of the country, and the constant employment of millions of people in the manufacturing districts at remunerative wages. The employers' liability act in the interest of the working man, our rural free delivery. The eight hour law, the movement for the development of our inland waterways, the parcels post, and many other measures, all tending to enable the people to establish and maintain attractive and healthful homes, are the result of the thoughtful constructive work of the Republican party. The people—the masses—in the United States are better clothed, better fed, better housed, better protected by law and are happier and more hopeful than any other people. The fathers of our country firmly believed that the policy of protection was as necessary to the commercial independence of the United States as the army and navy are to win and preserve its political independence. It is not without significance to patriotic Americans, that our first protective law was signed by George Washington on the Fourth of July, 1789. Protection has been our national policy with a few temporary interruptions from that day to this. Under its operation, we have grown from a few states along the Atlantic coast, to a nation of one hundred million of the most progressive and home-loving people in the world. From a position of dependence upon Europe for manufactured products, we have become the foremost manufacturing nation, and are now challenging England for supremacy in the markets of the world. Nothing but a misapprehension of economic facts, and a malpleading indifference to the welfare of our country, can suggest any radical change in a system which has produced such stupendous results. Are the people of America really seriously to consider changing those magnificent conditions of home and country and the future beckoning them on with alluring hope for the mocking delusions and historic incompetence of the Democratic party? The Democrats are united only on one thing; they favor the destructive policy of free trade. Are we, as intelligent, home-owning, home-loving American citizens, to jeopardize our homes, our families and our future, by trying another experiment with the disastrous old Democratic party? Professor Wilson, its leader, is no bigger or better than his party, and is hopelessly wedded to its idol of free trade. The workingman has a good, steady job at better wages, or salary, whichever he chooses to call it, than he ever had in the history of this country, and from all reports from the ranks of labor, Mr. Workingman has no desire to make a change.

This, however, did not len Cunnift to infer that the entertainment was to be in the least degree infor mal. On the contrary, Cunnift be Meved that when the Drummonds dl anything they did it well. He wa: Judging trom tholr automobile _ané Mrs. Drummond's gowns and thet general air of prosperity, for, al though he knew the family rathe well, he had nover been at thel house. j "Say." Cuonitt asked Brown, whe Ukewise was to be a guest at the dinner, “where do the Drummond live, anyway?" “At Fittieth and Timberwood ave nue," sald Brown. “That big gray Stone affair. You know it?” “Ob, yes,” said Cunniff, grandly. However, as a matter of fact, he did not know it at all. Late on Thanksgiving day he looked up the Drummonds in the telephone directory between wrestling with bis tle and brushing his hair. He found the name at once—4919 Timberwood avenue. Having got the tle to suit him, Cunnttt started off briskly -at 2 Quarter to seven, for the house was only five blocks from his residence. He ascended the steps briskly and was a trifle annoyed at the delay In answering his ring. When the door Was at last opened Cunniff took a for “Ward step and murmured tentatively his host's name. ‘ghe masa swung the door open. “Yes, thie Ie Mr. Drummond's house. Come In,” she sald. “Please walt tn the brary.” ‘Then she vanished, /_ Cunnlff, in some bewilderment, al vested himself of coat and hat tn the large entrance hall and proceeded into the room Indicated. It wns empty. ‘There was nelther host nor hostess lurking in the corners and no other guests had arrived, “My watch must be horribly fast!" Cunnift said to himself, uncomfortably. He sat down because there was nothing else to do and looked about him. The room was indeed handsome and probably would appear atlll more attractive when all the artiatlealty shaded Mghts were turned on. At present only one burned on the wall near an oaken reading table, A dead silence reigned. As his eyes grew accustomed to the semigloom Cunnit! made out the dining-room table some distance off In the adjoin: ing room. Only the bare mahogany confronted him. Even a mere man Knows that for a dinner party the set: ting of the table must come some minutes before the eating of the meal. Cunnift crossed one foot over the other and tried to be patient. When twenty minutes had passed without another arrival or the appearance of his entertainers the unpleasant convie tion that something was wrong broke upon him. Yet why had he been admitted 1 anybody had come down with a serk ous Miness and the dinner had been abandoned? Just as Cunnift, fm a cold perspira tion, was miserably meditating selzing hils hat and coat and sneaking out he heard footsteps on the stairs. The set society amile he at once donned for Mrs. Drummond's delectatlon froze on his face as a girl walked in whom he had never seen before. She was a young woman with a inost delicious ‘face and Cunnift observed attractive Mttle quirks at the ‘corners of her rosy Ips. "Good evening,” she said a ttle ‘dublously, as she eyed Cunniff. She acted a8 though she had expected ‘somebody else. “Father has just tele ‘phoned me from the rallroad statton. He and mother have arrived in the jelty from thelr Thanksgiving vist ‘They failed to get the earller train. ‘Tt you can walt tl elght o'clock—” “But,” Cunnlff stammered, “what about the dinner party?” The pretty girl took hola of chair and stood behind it. “There fen't any." she said mildly. |“ “Did—atd father ask you to dinner? He's ac absurdly absent-minded occasionally. Aren’t you Mr. Reckmore, the presl dent of the road?” “Good gracious, no!” -Cunnitt go! out, glad of something tangible to dis pute “My name's Cunnift and 1 am supposed to be at a dinner party at the Drummonds' at Fittieth street and ‘Timberwood avenue! And T want te know what has happened to the din ner!” The pretty girl bent over the chai back and laughed. “Why, I'm so sor ry!” she choked. “It's ‘the Drum monds two doors up! We always got each other's mail and packages, but we never got one of thelr dinner guosta before! And you've walted all this time!” “{ don't min@ the walt—now.” sale Cunnfff, daringly. ‘Then he fled. “Now.” he ended fifteen minutes liter, when he had completed the tale of bis wanderings at the dinner table of the right Drummonds and had beer forgiven beeause he had helped ov the conversktion, “the only way you can square yourself for distracting me by living in a block full of Drum monds Js to introduce me to the other ones. At least to the younger mem bers of the family! I'm golng to Ike that girl Immengely when 1 knov her!"

It comes from New Eng- land and other states in the cast, from the middle west, from the Rocky Mountain section and even from the Pacific coast. The beginning of Roosevelt's end wes shown when be only polled 8,000 votes in the recent Michigan primaries; when the Repuly Mean vote in Washington test month was equal to the Democratic and Progrossive vote combined; when his mafority of 7,000 In California last May dwindled'in September to less than 8,000, and when the Republicans were victorious over the third party in Minnesota, Colorado and other states, One reason for the turning of the tide Is the realization that Roosevelt cannot possibly be elected. After his tour through the west he claimed only three states, California, Kansas and Nebraska. ‘Recent advices indicate that even these will not be in the Roosevelt columb, : |, Another reason for the growth of the Taft sentiment Mes in the fact ‘that the country isewaking up to a ‘realization that with the Incoming of the Democratle administration there would be a savage assault upon the [protective system, under which the country has prospered in an unexam- pled fashion during the last fifty Years—a prosperity which was checked only during the four years between 1593 and 1897, when the Dem- cratic party was In full control of the government. The only way to avoid a repetition of those distressing times is to con- tinue the Republican party in power. Even Democrats realize this fact and they are announcing everywhere that they Intend to support the Republican ‘tcket and thus continue prosperity. ‘The Aght is now between Taft and Wilson. Roosevelt 1s out of it. He ‘will be a bad third In the presidential race. At the same time a vote for Roosevelt is halt a vote for the Demo- eratic candidate. The Republican party united can prevent a Democratic vietory. The only hope that the Democrats have of muceoss is the. ..2re will be on cleo posct Ring honoree ey See ll Fania. Republicans wi: clined’ to. follow Roosevelt at however, seeing the error ob ‘ways and are refusing to follow. into a bolting organization which. no other object than the gratificatl, of one man’s personal ambition aie Fevenge and also the wreoking of the Republican party. Republicans every- where decline to be an ald to this proposition and are thing themaclves, up with the organization under whlch, for more than fifty years, the nation has steadily and safely progrossed. ‘The Wilson Pledces. A fine example of the Wilsonian adulation which seems to be epidemo in some quarters was presented at a New Jersey, political rally the other evening, yen Mr. Leon Abbett, son of a formes governor of the stato, re- ferred to the not unknown practice of Democratte politicians of ignoring or neglecting campaign promises after election, and then roused much en- thusiasm with the declaration that “Governor Wilson if elected to the presidency will carry out all. the Pledges, with a guarantee that they will be fulfilled.” nt ‘The speaker unfortunately ala” nde say just what ipledges he meant, but “all the pledges.” If In that phunge he Included the pledges of the Demo- cratle platform, such as they are, it Is to be observed that Governor Wit son himself has potentlally repudiated them all in advance with bis curt and somewhat contemptuous remark that a platform ts not a program.” If, on the other hand, he meant Governor Wilson's own pledges, made in bis speech of acceptance, It may well be inquired what they were and are. It would certainly be an inspiring per- formance “to carry out all the pledges” of an utterance which con- tained none which were more definite than a nebula or more substantial than mush,’-—New York Tribune. ae ‘The horn of plenty Is overflowing for the people of thls country with President Taft at the helm. Those desiring a change will rise. No one wants a change.

First Half, Monday, Oct. 28. A very entertaining bill is on Mons. Herbert, "The Musical Walter," is all that the word "novelty" means. Musical instruments are defly concealed in all the paraphenalia of a dinner table. Seaman and Killon, two pretty girls, give a good account of themselves in a singing act. Bert St. John, in a "Cubaret Revue," assisted by Ralph Whithead and company, do some splendid work. Murray Bennett, in a number of slide-splitting songs interspersed with several new jokes. Keeps the people in a good humor. C. Clay Mantley and Co. give many moments of real fun in their lively farce, "The Lobster Party." THE MONOGRAM The "Big City Trio" are making a nice name for themselves. There are two ladies and a man in this set and they are well worth seeing. Marion and Derell are very good. Mr. Marion's droll fun is surely an applause getter, Green, Pugh and Green are doing some clever work. Young Pugh is singing "Shine," the number made famous by our own Adah Overton Walker, and the lad is doing nicely with it. He is a clever fellow and will do great things if careful. Shelton Brooks, his droll wilt, piano playing and own compositions, is in his third successful week and is still a favorite. His song, "Impossible," is a scream. INFORMATION THEATRICALLY. J. Louis Johnson and his "Dixie Chorus" are going big throughout Wisconsin. They are under the management of the Redpatt Lycceum Bureau. Miss Eyon Robinson and her Dixie Girls, Jones and Perkins, and Simms & Thompson in a new act, and those ever popular performers, Nicholas & Logan are making a record for themselves at the Auditorium theater in Philadelphia this week. Arthur Allen and Leroy Morton, a duo that can and do make good in every particular and place are crowning themselves with fresh honors the last half of this week at The President theater, down town. The first half of present week was worked at the Apollo theater, one of the pretty loop district houses. These boys are the real goods, as is evidenced by an advanced booking of six weeks around old Chi. The Phoenix theater is the possessor of a nice five-piece orchestra of most promising musicians. Daily are these young aspirants delivering muscle in a manner which appeals to the higher senses of this theater's patrons. The orchestra members are Fred Williams, clarionet; Leo English-cornet; Erskine Tate, t琴; Charles Mitchell, drummer; Clarence Jones, director. Then, too, this little picture boasts a most affable house officer in the person of Mr. John Turner, a man pleasant to every one, always making his influence felt for good. Mr. G. B. Kyle, ticket taker, is another acquisition to the house, always agreeable, most trustworthy and highly esteemed by the management. Prof. B. Emmanuel Johnson, one of our most competent teachers of the plano forte, is arranging for his annual recital of piano classes. Recital to be given Tuesday, Nov. 12, at Grace Presbyterian church. Madam Nellie Vesta Gray, one of Chicago's gifted sopranos, will assist. The appreciation of our friends and pupils comes to the overwrought nerves of teachers and public workers as a drop of cool water on a thirsty tongue and the liberty taken in publishing private letters will, because of the pleasure it gives, be forgiven. The letter printed below comes from a former pupil of this column's editor when said was contemplating a winter of travel: The writer of the letter has a beautiful soprano voice of remarkable range and will without doubt by careful application become one of our leading dramatic sopranos. Oct. 28, 1912. Dear Madame: I am now studying at the Chicago Musical College and wish to let you know of my success. On entering the college I passed examination and made seventh grade in vocal art. I am also studying harmony and the Italian language. You being my first and only teacher and having studied with you one year, I owe my entire success to you. When I was assigned to my present teacher, Mr. Kurt Donath, he inquired as to my former teacher. I told him of you and he gives great credit to you as a teacher and wishes very much to meet you. You have done so much for me that I feel it my duty, as it is also a pleasure to let you know to what extent your wonderful knowledge has benefited your former pupil and ever loving friend.

The monster bill is headed by that stering team, Hodges and Launchmere, whose act has a distinct flavor of Broadway and Hammerstein's. Leona Marshall, a great favorite here, does a neat single turn, and McKissick and Shadney win favor in a singing and dancing sketch. The Invincible Four, two of whom are blind, put on a high-grade musical melange, in which all the voices show up well, and a variety of instruments are skillfully handled. Blanche Deas, whose popularity never wanes, closed her third week, going as strongly as of yore. The "cat opera" of the top-liners was a distinct hit. The first of the "Sunday Pops" was largely attended last Sunday afternoon at 4, and the second will be given tomorrow. Elzie Hoffman's concert band will be increased to 47 pieces and the Amphion Glee Club and others will assist. PIANIST-ELOCUTIONIST WANTED AT ONCE.

PARENTS AND TEACHERS PARENTS AND TEACHERS. Thousands of people are complaining every year that the public schools are not "making good." They cannot understand why the great majority of boys, after reaching the sixth or seventh grade, fail to pass their examinations, become discouraged and drop out of school, says the Columbia State. The small proportionate number of graduates they regard as proving that something is radically wrong in the scheme and methods of instruction. Not for a moment do they remember what they are asking of the schools. If they would compare their outlay for education with the outlay for heating or lighting their homes and then compare the results, they would agree that no other investment yields returns worthy to be mentioned by the side of their investment in the public schools, yet insist that the schools should accomplish for average boy or girl ten times what they do accomplish. The mother or father who will give to the children in the family an hour of assistance each day will have no reason to be disappointed with the school system. If they will three times a year visit the schools and spend half an hour in them, learning at first hand what the task of the teachers is and how much the taxpayers have asked the school system to do, they will conclude that wonders are being achieved at nominal cost and they will be convinced, moreover, that in respect to their own children they may not expect the working of miracles unless they set themselves to do faithfully what is physically beyond the powers of the overworked teachers. There is a widespread use of the vapor, or Turkish bath. Even in arctic Lapland the use of a Turkish bath of very primitive form is common. It consists of a hut attached to every farm, says Harper's Weekly. In the middle of the hut is raised a kind of beehive of the rough stones and in this a fire is lighted. When the stones become red hot they are drenched with water, so that the place is filled with vapor. Then enter the bathers, who are armed with birch twigs, with which they belabor one another until all are in a state of profuse perspiration. Then all leave the hut and roll in the snow outside. This last function, it will be observed, is equivalent to the cold plunge which is the final experience in the Turkish bath as known to us all. For purely material comfort, for a padded life for the rich and one with few splinters for the less fortunate, the old world offers advantages above America, says the Cleveland Leader. The chances for the education of the eye and ear in beautiful pictures and in worthy music are superior to those of this new land; the deference paid to money—even in countries supposed to be monarchial and castle-ridden—is more marked than it is here. Europe is an ideal place for those who love luxurious living and are able to pay for it. In giving the amounts of dressmakers' bills for royal ladies an account says that Queen Wilhelmina heads the list with a considerable lead. But while she dresses more expensively than the empresses of Germany and Russia, it is to be remembered that she has one great advantage over those imperial ladies, as she, and not her husband, hold the pursursements of the family and has the last word when it comes to orders in the case.

Special to the Chicago Defender. Lafayette, La., Nov. 1.—The trial of Clementine Bernarbet, the seventeen-year-old girl who had murdered several families of people, for the murder of Norman Randall's wife on the night of Nov. 27, 1911, was concluded Friday night, Oct. 25, at 10:30, the arguments of the counsel heard and the case given to the jury at midnight. The jury returned to court in the morning and rendered a verdict of guilty, without capital punishment, which confines the young woman to the penitentiary for life. Judge Elliot opened the argument for the prosecution, presenting the salient features of the case and dwelling forcibly upon the enormity of the crimes charged to the young girl. Attorney Kennedy, for the defendant, followed in one of the most magnificent presentations ever heard in court. He eloquently argued the doubtful character of the extra judicial confessions, the unreliability of Prof. Metz's testimony from the fact that the bloody clothes, when delivered to him, were badly mixed, some from the young woman's room and some from the home of the Randalls. There was every likelihood that the blood and brains on the pillow slips taken from Randall's soiled and stained the other garments because they were all bundled together. Her attorney also urged that the fact that Dr. Hummel testified that she was of an unusually low and degraded type was sufficient evidence alone to send her to the insane asylum, instead of to the gallows, as was demanded by the state. Kennedy's portrayal of the unfortunate birth of the girl and the degrading environments made a deep impression upon the jury and also upon the vast crowd that thronged the court room. Attorney Lessley followed for the defense with more convincing arguments why the girl should not harg and with a plea for consideration of the girl's race and her based perversion. District Attorney Ogden closed in a clear, logical presentation of all the supposed facts in the case and retutation of the arguments advanced by the defense and that the prisoner was sane within the legal sense of the word. He appealed for an unqualified verdict of murder. Judge Campbell then read the charge to the jury and they retired to their room and were locked up. Saturday morning they returned the verdict of guilty without capital punishment.

By James K. Steele. Great Northern Hotel.-Mr.' Isaac Kendly still holds his own at the Great Northern and is continually gaining in popularity as a head waiter. He is said to have better experience as an European head waiter than any other colored man in Chicago. Previous to his taking this position he was head waiter at the Reed house, Erie, Pa., which position he has been prevailed upon to accept again; but, being more desirous of remaining with his family in Chicago, he did not accept. A few days ago Mr. Kendly was given a surprise by the management in the way of compliments for being able to maintain such an intelligent, honest and reliable crew of waiters and apprentices. His present staff is made up of a number of former head waiters, namely; Horace Bramlette, first captain, who once was in charge of the Utopia hotel in Nashville, Tenn., and Huesner's restaurant in this city; Ben F. Johnson, second captain, formerly head waiter at Metropole Hotel, Detroit, Mich., Elks' club, Louisville, Ky., French Lick hotel, over a crew of 150 waiters for six years, Portland Hotel cafe, Portland, Ore., Hotel Marion, Little Rock, Ark, steward at Brown's club, French Lick, Ind., Grand Hotel cafe, Mackinac Island, Mich., and Moody Hotel, Hot Springs, Ark.; S. D. Pannell, third captain, for hery head waiter at United States hotel, Saratoga Springs, N. Y., Atlantic City, N. J., Plaza hotel, New York, during the recent strike of white waiters. Mr. Pannell leaves January 1 for Palm Beach, Fla., as second waiter at the Royal Ponciana, under Mr. J. S. McLane, who has been head waiter for many years. The Royal Ponciana employs a crew of five hundred and twelve and is the largest and finest hotel in America. Three hundred and seventy-two waiters are employed in the main dining room, thirty-five in the cafe, and sixty maids. The remainder are captains and maids in various departments. This crew leaves in three divisions—New York, Chicago and Cincinnati. Mr. Pannell and his able secretary, Mr. James Carter, are booking a crew of one hundred and fifty first class waiters, which he expects to take as the Chicago division. Mr. Kendly is making his record by employing and retaining men of reliable and known experience, among whom are W. D. Bowder, formerly head waiter at Memphis, Tenn.; Jas. Vason, formerly steward and buyer at the Lincoln Park refectory; George Kidd, formerly head waiter on the Lake Steamer, Minnesota; J. H. Paterson, a noted captain, and R. H. Carey, at one time captain at the Castle Square hotel, Boston, Mass. Mr. V. S. Jonesee, Malachi Kaufman and Calvin Lewis, old waiters of the Union Station, St. Louis, Mo., are now among the crew. Mr. Kendly also has charge of the Lumbermen's and Canadian club, which employs twelve men. Mr. Paul Hardwick, one of our reliable waiters, is on the sick list.

"Your opponent says he can win in a walk," said the campaigner. "Well" replied Senator Sorghum, "let us encourage that idea. If we can persuade him to hold himself down to a walk, maybe I can get up a burst of speed that will beat him." CLUBS WERE TRUMPS FROM JUDGE. He looked like a gentleman gone to seed. Though patched and frayed as to clothing, he was impaculate both in dress and person. He sat upon the kitchen doorstep, shelling peas. His expression betokened reconciled despair. "Bo so kind," he said meekly, but emphatically, "as not to utter the word club to me, sir. The inducements that could tempt me to join any kind of association whatever do not exist." Before saying more, he glanced apprehensively over his shoulder. Then he explained in a low tone: "To clubs are due all my misturtes; and I endure sufficient, I as sure you. When I was a young man—and that seems centuries ago—this village passed through an epidemic of clubs. How or why the pestilence broke out, no one knows. But suddenly every one was forming them, joining them, canvassing for them. There was the Farmers' club, the Housewives' club, the Card club, the Glee club and a score of others. Every organization had its badge, and some of my neighbors proudly wore five or six. "At that time I was just young enough to know all about life, and I was certain that it offered no prize like personal liberty. Consequently I was a confirmed bachelor—and rather prone to boast of it, I fear. My associates were all young men who proclaimed loudly that they scorned the female sex. Each had been most cruelly rejected by some false-hearted charmer, and when they organized the Bacheleurs' club the receipt of one rejection at least was made a qualification for membership. I was eager to join, but this excluded me. "Ian't there a way to get around the rule? I asked Lon Pendleton, president. "No. he replied. 'We mustn't begin that way. Don't try to get around it—just quality.'" "Propose to some one?" "Certainly." "Suppose I am accepted?" "You needn't be afraid of that," he replied; then, noticing my look, lamely added, "select some one who doesn't like you, I mean." "That was easily done. Salina Briggs and I had been sworn enemies since we went barefooted to the district school. She was bigger than the teacher then, and I called her Jumbo. She retaliated by calling me Whifter. The years that had added to her bulk and coarseness had left me understult, but a gentleman and (hem!) a scholar." He sent a quick, sensitive glance into my eyes, and I bowed gravelly. "Whenever we chanced to pass on the street, she would make some audible remark about me, to raise the laughter of the congenial friends around her, and her vulgar laugh would raise above them all and follow me farthest. "Loathing her as I did, nothing except my great desire to join the Bachelors' club could have made me address her—let alone upon such a subject. But in those days when I wanted a thing I 'went it blind', as the saying is. Moreover, I was sure that Selina would consider my proposal a joke—perhaps the result of a wager—and this I knew would enrage her beyond measure." He was silent so long, gazing miserably into space, that I was obliged to speak to him. He looked up pathetically and whispered: "She said yes." "And you—" I ventured. "I am a gentleman," he returned, and I nodded. "If it isn't—er" I began, after a long nause. "Not at all," he answered. "She was mad to join the Matrons' club, that's all." Before I could utter a word of sympathy, an untidy head appeared at the door and a coarse voice cried: "John Hennery, be them peas done yet?" And as I passed through the gate I heard in gentle and refined tones: "No, Selina; they'll be done in a minute." Oysters are now to be electrocuted to stop danger of typhoid.

Y., Oct. 30. After a long illness, Vice-President James Schoolcraft Sherman, vice-president of the United States, died at his residence in this city at 9:42 o'clock tonight of uremic poison caused by Bright's disease. He had been sinking since early morning and it was realized all day long that death was a question only of a few hours. There was a slight relief shortly after 7 o'clock, caused by an apparent improvement in the condition of the kidneys, but it did not prove real or lasting and at best gave only temporary hope. At 9 o'clock the patient's temperature rose to 106. From that time his condition rapidly passed from bad to worse until the end. Mr. Sherman was unconscious when death came and had been in that condition for hours. Soon after Mr. Sherman's death Dr. Fayette H. Peck, the attending physician, issued the following statement: "The vice-president died at 9:42 p. m., without regaining consciousness for a moment. He was perfectly quiet. He died in the presence of his wife, her brother and sister, his two brothers, and his three sons and their wives. He had been entirely unconscious since 7 o'clock, when he had a period of partial consciousness, lasting for about fifteen minutes. He died in a uremic coma as a result of Bright's disease, heart disease, and arteriosclerosis." Lincoln State Savings Bank UNDER STATE SUPERVISION. 6 East 31st St., N. E. Cor. State St. Mrs. G. W.

The services at Mother Quinn were very interesting last Sunday, and the attendance was unusually good. The pastor, Dr. Cook, preached morning and evening with great enthusiasm and caused many to rejoice as they caught the spirit of the word of God. There were several accessions at the close of each sermon. Quinn Chapel seems to have caught fresh inspiration, and the sermons by the pastor are having telling affects among those who attend. This Sunday is quarterly meeting and promises to be a day of rejoicing. Dr. H. J. Callis of the Zion church will preach the sermon at 3 p. m. and his choir will assist in the music.

The pastor delivered an appropriate sermon at 11 a. m. At 3:15 p.m. the morning choir gave an excellent program. The church was well filled by an appreciative audience which was particularly edified by the solo of Miss Johnnie White and that of Miss Effie Jones. The elimax was reached with the violin number by Mr. A. C. Elgar and the beautiful number by Mr. Hugh Buchanan, who was enthusiastically applauded. Besides Mr. Gosset, organist of Evaunston, and several visitors from the South Side, many white friends were present. The next pleasant Sunday afternoon will occur the fourth Sunday afternoon, at which time an equally good, if not better, program will be rendered. Special mention must be made in regards to the extremely artistic and harmonious arrangement of the platform by Mrs. Ella Miller, president of board No. 3. The election of the trustees took place Monday night, at which time Mr. Alam Granberry, Mr. Jesse Butler, and Mr. Prather Stephens were elected for a term of two years and Mr. Thomas Miller, Mr. A. B. Davis, Mr. Edward Knox and Mr. F. Harrison or a term of one year each. OLIVET BAPTIST CHURCH. A decade ago when our minister, Dr. E. J. Fisher, accepted the pastorate of the Olivet Baptist church it was with the judgment of a philosopher and the faith of a prophet he began work carefully surveying each phase of church life and neighborhood conditions. While the financial obligations have been great it has always been kept before the congregation that the primary duty of a gospel church is the salvation of souls. Our church being the largest of its kind in the northwest and in a dense city, population causes it to be favorably located for the development of all departments of work. To meet the growing demands there was organized during the summer the Chicago Religious Training Seminary with temporary quarters at the church. This institution, chartered under Illinois state laws, offers studies in old and new testament, piano and voice, English courses, theological, missionary, Sunday school pedagogy and sociology. With an efficient faculty the work is operated in such a manner as to give practice to the pupils and at the same time benefit neighborhood conditions. To cope with this double situation the pupils call in homes gives such assistance as needed, religious or material, thus learning to do by doing. Some of the most neglected parts of the city will be visited and since Chicago is a cosmopolitan city we can obey the command, "Go, teach all nations," within our own borders. The young men are being trained for the ministry. Sunday school workers and deacons. Limited means will not bar anyone from the work. Other churches have caught the spirit, Quinn Chapel has organized a class with Mrs. Thomas G. Maxwell as teacher. She graduated from the Baptist Missionary Training school in June, and so valuable an exponent to the denomination has she proven that her school (white) has given her a regular appointment as a home missionary, Rev. and Mrs. S. L. M. Francis, of the Providence church, West Side, are devoting much time to the work. Dr. Fisher has the co-operation of his members in this new work which promises to be a great center of activity in the future. LINCOLN MEMORIAL CONGREATIONAL CHURCH. The parents who listened to Pastor Laurence's sermon at the morning service will never forget it. Text: II Samuel 18:33 "And the king was much moved, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wopt; and as he went, thus he said,) my son Absalom, my son, my son bsalom, would God I had died for hee, Absalom, my son, my son!" Theme: "He Got Away." "On pain of death, let no man come tween me and my personal inter- and ambitions. This was the spirit and attitude of the primitive man. Our present-day civilization does not permit the individual to criminally or brutally remove his competitor or his enemy. "At the time of the setting of our text, and especially among the Jewish people, it was considered a very low and disgraceful thing for son or daughter to as much as show disrespect to parents. But then, as now, there were those who cared little for the law governing parental relations. "Absalom was a bright and promising child, and therefore his father bestowed upon him special care and consideration. Like many parents of today, David indulged his son in his petty wants, yielded to his whims until the son began to feel that his will had to be supreme. This is one of the weaknesses of many of the best, and otherwise most thoughtful moth- REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE. ers and fathers, and then the boy and the girl begin to 'get away.' "I dare say, that by far the majority of young men and women who go astray begin to form the basis for the habits which finally destroy them between the ages of eight and twelve years. I am not unmindful that each child has its inherited tendencies and propensities. The early discovery and controls of these tendencies by the parents, whether in the way of checking or encouraging, is a test of their wisdom, thoughtfulness and conception of true parental love. "Habits like diseases, if allowed to run unchecked, will surely prostrate their victim. The end may not always be so spectacular and tragic as in the case of the young man Absalom, but the results will be just as fatal. "Parents dislike to be told they are careless in the rearing of their children; they mean of course to do the best thing for them. And when they find their boy is gone, they wonder when and how 'he got away.' When just a lad he made you trouble, a big boy he caused you to weep, and when a young man he broke your heart. When a small girl she began to be rude you thought it cute; when a big girl she would not bear correction, and ere she became a young woman she was wayward and brought disgrace to your heartstone "You have heard the bitter walls of disappointment and sorrow rising from the broken hearts of mothers and fathers—O my child, I would have given my life for that boy.' And of the daughter, 'O my child, I followed her anxiously from the initial steps in society to the grave of a wrecked life, and in my mind's eye saw written on the tomb, 'What I might have been and was not had my parents done their duty.' Not only do we see children 'getting away' from parents, but wives from husbands, husbands from wives. And just here you will pardon me if in what I say strikes you as being untimely because coming from one who is inexperienced. But clothed with authority from the Master I cannot desist from calling your attention to that whith, although you may know and understand better than I, is, nevertheless, a growing and perpetual menace to the happiness of men and women in this world beneath the stars, and will close the gates of paradise against their naked and tainted souls. "One writer has said, 'A home devold of love and deserted by peace is hell on earth.' Little by little she was led off, until she was gone; little by little he drifted, until finally 'he got away.' "I do not urge a doctrine of physical rebellion, but I plead for a fight against the spiritual and moral weakness of the times. Ours is not an age of the supremacy of brute force, but a day when reason should rule. Beyond the contention of earthly thrones is the fullness of God's kingdom as preached and lived by Jesus. And the home is the place where the battle is to be won or lost. So as touching its failures, not only ought the parents to weep, but the whole church and the Christian community should cry out "behold our brother is losing in his fight, let us strengthen his arms." Notes. The pulpit will be filled tomorrow morning by Rev. H. H. Dunn of Central church, New Orleans. Dr. Dunn, who is a most eloquent man, standing high in congregational circles, is homeward bound from the National Council which recently assembled in Buffalo, N. Y. Come out and hear this noted race man. Through the efforts of Dr. Lawrence Lincoln Memorial church is now a member in full standing in the "City Association of Congregational Churches," a very great distinction, when it is considered that the Association is composed of some of the most cultured and influential Christian bodies in Chicago. At last Monday's meeting of the Association at Masonic Temple, attended by the flower of Chicago Congregationalism, some one hundred and fifty representatives, Dr. Lawrence, the single member of the race, addressed the Association in a fifteen minute talk that proved in eloquence the surprise of the occasion. His subject was "Congregationalism Amongst the Negroes of the South and the Work Being Instituted in Chicago." Leutenant Childs and Mrs. Childs are active and consecrated members of the "Memorial" and the whole congregation is proud of having as a member the ranking Negro police official of the country. --- Commencing this week the pastor's library and study will be located in the rear of the church. There were two accessions to the church last week. THE Y. M. C. A. HEADQUARTERS. The Latest News of the Work In This City—items of Interest— Speakers. Dr. A. Wilberforce Williams spoke before a large appreciative audience at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on last Sunday afternoon at the Odd Fellows Hall. The department observed Tuberculosis Sunday and had the doctor to discuss the subject, "Nature Prevention and Care of Tuberculosis." Statistics were given showing the large number of persons who die from this disease in the United States every year. He stated that one out of every four persons who die between the ages of sixteen and foury-five years die from tuberculosis. He stated further that it is not inherited but is a communicable disease. The Negro is not more susceptible to it than any other peoples of like opportunities, housing and practices. Bad air, bad housing, poor food, dirt, midnight carousels and alcohol were named as agencies that promote tuberculosis. Fresh air, wholesome food, temperance and rest of mind and body were named as necessary for the combating of this dreaded disease. A. Bruce Minear, who was sent by the government to the canal zone to establish Young Men's Christian Associations, will give an illustrated lecture at the Y. M. C. A. meeting on next Sunday at 4 p. m. at the Old Fellows hall. The pictures show the construction, working, recreation, moral and living conditions of the Panama Canal. The meeting is free for men. The Y. M. C. A. will observe the week of prayer for Young Men's Christian Associations of the World, commencing Sunday, Nov. 12, and closing Sunday, Nov. 17. Father J. B. Mesiah, sactor of St. Thomas Episcopal church, will speak on Sunday, Nov. 12, on prayer, and Rev. M. K. Clarkson, an evangelist and gospel worker will close the prayer week by delivering one of his powerful gospel messages on Sunday, Nov. 17. These meetings will be held at Old Fellows Hall and will consist of the singing of gospel songs, prayer and the message by the speaker. The employed officers of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago were in conference at the West Side Department Y. M. C. A. building on last Wednesday. The conference meets monthly at the different association buildings and discusses questions of management and policies of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Wm. J. Parker, business manager of the Association, of Chicago, read a paper on "The Principles of Scientific Management as Applied to the Work of the Chicago Young Men's Christian Association." Rev. C. W. Gilkey, pastor of the Hyde Park Baptist church, spoke of the "Fundamentals in the Intellectual Life of the Secretary. Mr. L. Wilbur Messer, secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A.'s, who has recently recovered from illness, was present and spoke briefly of the conferences that he has attended during the past month in New York. Mr. Messer introduced Mr. L. W. Tucker to the conference with the requests that the various secretaries and employed officers pray for the work that is being done at the Wabash Avenue Department, Y. M. C. A.

Children's Right of Liberty Do not forget that every child has a right to some leisure and some freedom from observation. It is possible to be too watchful. If children are taught to drink after food and not with it, as a normal thing they will do it naturally, and suffer less from digestive troubles than if they drink frequently during a meal.

Should it be your ambition to write a humorous verse pick out an ancient subject and express in language tense.

The Fort Scott Tribune tells of a farmer who was a victim of insomnia who was to a doctor in hope of getting relief, but the doctor, "have you any theory as to what it is that keeps you awake?" "Well," said the farmer, "I think I snore so loud that I wake myself up." In a Few Days. Ikey—“This coat is green! You said it vaa plum color you!

By virtue of a foolish and unreasonable strike on the part of between 300 and 400 white waiters in several of the leading hotels and cafes of this city, a large number of waiters, taken on at first as "strike-breakers," have been given permanent places in the dining rooms of said hotels and cafes. The Raleigh, New Willard and Cafe Republice, within whose walls a black face was a stranger, are now fully equipped with waiters of the race, and the managers say they have the experience and reliability to hold down the jobs for all time. The strikers have attempted violence, but have been pretty well thinned out by Major Sylvester's "strong-arm .squad" of blue-coats, who gave the men ample protection, escorting many of them to their homes after hours at night. The guests at the hostelries named are delighted with the change. Assistant Register Cyrus Field Adams was in New York Sunday. He left Monday night for the western field. No meeting of Bethel Literary on election night. Mme. Anita Patti Brown of Chicago, the race's premier colatura soprano, appears in grand concert at Howard University at 4 o'clock p. m., Monday, Nov. 25. This noted diva will be presented by Miss Lulu Vere Childers and will be capably supported by the Howard Choral Club and other well-known artists. Mme. Brown will be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W.

Following this he will appear in a concert at the New England Conservatory of Music in Boston, in conjunction with Mr. Roland W. Hayes, the noted tenor. This will be the first occasion on which any colored artists have ever appeared in this historic temple of music. Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand D. Lee, recently married, were "at home" to their host of friends last Friday evening at 923 R street northwest. Miss Ray Farley, a graduate of Normal School No. 2, is substituting on drawing at Armstrong Manual Training School for Mr. W. Stanton Wormle, who is ill. Mr. J. C. Cunningham, in a wiltempered letter, protests against the practice here of allowing day teachers in the public schools to teach also at night. He thinks the graduates of the Normal School should be given a chance to work in the night schools, and is of the opinion that when a teacher does his full duty during the day he or she cannot do justice to any class at night. They say the Board is to tackle this subject soon, but realize that it is a "live wire." Hampton Institute will try conclusions with the Howard University football team on the 9th, and on Thanksgiving Day will come the boys from Lincoln University. Miss Mamie Virginia Gee, of Newport, KY, sister of Miss Lottie Gee, the vaudeville star, passes through the city this week, en route to New York City, to take a special course in Columbia University. Miss Lottie Gee and Miss Eiffle King, those "Ginger Girls," are to topline next week's big bill at the Howard. Ethlyn and Luke Scott are at the Foraker. Miss Alberta Whitman, after a three weeks' successful engagement here, has gone on to New York City.

PRACTICAL BENEFITS SHOWN Prosperity Under Republican Administration, With Distress Under Democratic Control, is the Answer to Professor Wilson's Inaccurate Statements Regarding Tariff. Professor Wilson, who has been advocating free trade in all of his speeches, says that the farmers never have been protected and do not need protection. Then he ads: "But everything you use on the farm, everything that you wear and a great deal of what you eat, but do not produce yourself, including meats, bears a heavy duty, which brings about the interesting result that you are paying for the wealth of the United States and getting nothing, or equivalent to nothing, so far as the tariff is concerned. Now that has not just begun to be true. It has always been true." It is not true. The protective tariff does benefit the farmers. They know it, and by their voets have helped to maintain the policy of protection. Every Republican victory has been due to the vote of the farmers in support of the protective system. These farmers have not been mistaken through all these years. The value of protection has been demonstrated to them over and over again. The fact is that every time tariff duties have been reduced below the protective point, the farmers in this country have been heavy losers because of diminished demand and lower prices for their products. On the other hand, in every period of restored protection, the farmers have reaped the benefits of a greater demand and increased prices. There has been no exception to the rule of prosperity for American farmers, when American labor is fully employed. There were good crops between 1892 and 1897. The rains fell, the sun shone, the ground was just as fertile as now. In those years, however, corn sold for 16 cents a bushel and wheat for 35 cents a bushed. Why? Because the factories were closed and millions of men were idle. With the lowering of the tariff duties, American merchants bought their goods abroad, and the orders which should have gone to American factories kept foreign labor busy. As payment for these various goods had to be made in gold, the vaults of the banks and of the United States treasury became empty. There was great stringency of money. It was impossible to negotiate loans, and banks suspended. After the Republicans came into power and passed laws which turned the tide of commerce back from Europe to the United States, good times began again, and the farmers shared in the general prosperity. These are the figures, comparing 1896 with 1911: Corn advanced 200 per cent. Wheat advanced 67 per cent. Cotton advanced 166 per cent. Oats advanced 28 per cent. Rye advanced 137 per cent. Buckwheat advanced 266 per cent. Hay advanced 138 per cent. Hops advanced 286 per cent. Potatoes advanced 252 per cent. He Would Battle Alone. Just suppose that the Lord should step down to Armageddon and weed out those who are battling in his behalf to further their own private ends. Then suppose that he should drive out those found guilty of bearing false witness against their neighbors. And let him end up by excluding those guilty of questionable political practices. Wouldn't he have to do the battling for himself?—Iowa City Republican. Garlic is suggested as a cure for tuberculosis. A strenuous cure, all right. 72 HON. EDWARD D. GREEN.

Re-election Flaxseed advanced 149 per cent. Fat cattle advanced 92 per cent. Fat cattle advanced 92 per cent. Dairy butter advanced 88 per cent. Eggs advanced 90 per cent. The prices of articles which the farmer purchased have not advanced as rapidly as the prices of the product which he sells, thus leaving him a handsome margin of profit. Here are a few examples: Ten bushels of corn in 1911 paid for 123 pounds of sugar, and for only 66 pounds in 1896. Ten bushels of corn paid for 21 yards of bleached sheeting in 1911, and for only 13 yards in 1896. Ten bushels of corn in 1911 paid for two pairs of shoes, and for only one pair in 1896. No farmer can afford to vote the Democratic ticket because Democratic victory means lower prices for his products, depreciation in the value of his farm lands, and the impossibility of borrowing any money in times of emergency. A vote for Woodow Wilson is a vote for free trade, and a vote for Roosevelt is half a vote for Wilson and free trade. The only security for the farmer is in the re-election of President Taft and the continuation of the Republican party in power. NEGLECT OF THE FARMERS Record of Recent Democratic Congress Was Hurful to the Agricultural Interests. Democratic government does not benefit the farmer. The record of the Democratic majority of the house during the second session of the Sixty-second congress proves this in more ways than one. During the past summer the field work in agricultural education all over the country was completely moralized. The Democratic house failed to pass the appropriation bill in time to meet the needs for the work and many local institutions and communities that had sought aid were seriously embarrassed. The activities in behalf of farmers' institutes-were interrupted because the leader in charge of the work had to be recalled, owing to lack of funds. Every state and territorial experiment station in the country felt the serious effects of Democratic neglect. There are sixty-five of these stations, where 1,800 persons are regularly employed, in addition to numerous laborers and other help. Summer is the busy season for the experiment stations and failure to receive the necessary funds not only seriously hampered the work, but in not a few cases necessitated postponement or modification of investigations. Numerous plans at the stations awaited the annual inspection, which could not be made without funds and must be put back until next year. Owing to the Democratic delay, the department of agriculture was compelled to discontinue field work in connection with soil surveys. The potash and fertilizer investigations were also suspended for lack of funds. How He Makes the Moves How He Makes the Mare Go. The man who "makes the mare go" for the Bull Moose party, one Mr. Perkins, Roosevelt's campaign financier, is one of the Harvester trust moguls. That trust has a subsidiary plant at Auburn, N. Y. Women and girls work there on eleven hour shifts, day and night, on starvation wages, and are not allowed to sit down. As a result of the grinding and exacting policy of this plant and other plants like it, Perkins is able to furnish slush money for the Bull Moose campaign and to help along the personal cause of the Chief Bull Moose—Canton Register. Light on Great Questions The fact of the matter is that William H. Taft is not only a high-class statesman and president, but he is dead right in nine cases out of ten, and more nearly right on great questions than the average of his predecessors. Give us Taft every time instead of the wind-jammer of Oyster Bay, or the Princeton professor with his vague notions of governmental reforms—Colorado Springs Telegraph.

Oak Park undoubtedly will be champions for there is no team in any "prep" school can stop their trick plays. Roy Young's Triumph. Assistant Coach Ray Young of Northwestern showed his ability as a football coach when after Indiana had the Purple 7 to 0 in the first quarter they came back unexpectedly and crushed Indiana 20 to 0, with formations taught them by Dr. Young. On nearly all the plays in which the Purple figured the Indiana tackles were boxed in allowing the ends and backs of Northwestern to get away for runs of ten and twenty yards. Dr. Young's aggregation is not in line for championship but is to be reckoned with, as they will be a stumbling block to the conference teams. Assistant Coach Hale Parker, Jr., has had some bad luck with his Hyde Park team, most of his stars being on the hospital list. The foxy Indian coach, Juneau, couldn't do much with his men against Minnesota and when the Chicago team journeys to Madison it will have an important. bearing on the claimant to the championship title. It does the followers of athletics good to see the Y. M. C. A. building on Wabash avenue nearing completion.

Beauty In Expression If the great number of women who believe that they are sadly lacking in beauty who pass valuable time and money in valyly trying to acquire it could but be brought to realize that the highest form of beauty is that of expression! This is attained by the possession of inward graces, which frequently transform a so-called plain face into one more beautiful and winning than the combination of a perfect complexion and regular features. For a New Umbrella Before using a new umbrella inject a small quantity of vaseline into the hinge portions of the frame. Vaseline will not spread like oil and spoil the covering, and is a sure preventive against rust. Wet umbrellas should be stood on their handles to dry; this allows the water to run out of them, instead of into the part where the silk and ribs meet, thus causing the metal to rust and the silk to rot. Begin Well. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt, creep in; for forget them as soon as you can. Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely, and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations, to waste a moment on the yesterday. Emerson. Lived 88 Years in One House. Mrs. Williams, widow of the Rev. Samuel Williams, pastor of the Congregational church in the village of Cripplestyle for forty years, has died in the house in which she was born and had lived all of her eighty-six years. During this long period she had not slept away from the house more than about six times—London EDITED BY FRANK A. YOUNG Regal Monument to Founder Is St. Petersburg. Built by Will of Despot, Rusia's Fa- mous Capital Has a Charm That Draws Visitors From the Ends of the Earth. St. Petersburg—"On one side, the sea; on the other, sorrow; on the third, moss; on the fourth, a sigh"—Palakirikh, the court jester of Peter the Great, described the location of his master's new capital. St. Petersburg, daringly built on the very lips of the Neva river by an imperial decree, is thus surrounded by swamps, sea and forests. Even now beneath the wheels of a cart on the Neysky Prospect, one can sometimes see the moisture oozing up between the blocks. On two hundred days of the year it either rains or snows. The city was built at a fearful cost of human lives; over one hundred thousand are said to have perished in the course of the early building operations. Everybody, peasants and nobles alike, hated the place. Peter therefore set thousands, under the compulsion of the knot, to building dykes and driving plies. He forbade stone to be used for buildings in any place but in his "Paradise." Peasants were herded together from the southern provinces and forced to go to his pet city and remain. At one of Peter the Great's own "assembles," the water suddenly invaded the rooms of the palace and the emperor and his guests escaped by wading through it ankle-deep. Occasionally, when a gale from the southwest drives the waves of the Finnish gulf toward the city, the waters of the Neva are dashed backward and lifted to within a couple of feet of the level of the street. Twelve hours of such wind would put St. Petersburg in a position to receive the alms of the world. In spite of these handicaps, however, and in the face of all the eloquent anathemas that have been hurled against her, St. Petersburg is today in many respects a splendid, a regal city. "Petersburg will not last after our time. May it remain a desert!" exclaimed the Princess Mary, half-sister to Peter. But the vigorous ruler dreamed not in vain of a "window into Europe," and today his likeness in hericola bronze gazes fondly over a truly imperial city of granite quays, spacious streets and golden, gleaming spires. The view to the right along the aristocratic Palace Quay is adorned by PARK Typical St. Petersburg Street. the stately, vast Winter palace, the classic Hermitage picture gallery, and a sweeping line of colonized, ambassadorial homes. The magnificence and vastness of the whole scene is still further enhanced by the bulky, classic, educational structures lining the further side of the river. Here and there are clusters of yellow lumber boats, fat ark-like hulks, sluggishly heaving and tugging at their chains. Tiny, bug-like passenger steamers dart hither and thither, trailing from their low smokestacks long, thin banners of steam and smoke. And over the graceful, threepen Nicholas bridge strangles a long caravan of Finnish carts; over it, too, bounds the electric trambers. And crowning this magnificent civic spectacle, and rising sheer into the sky behind the equestrian Peter, is the massive, gilded dome of St. Isaacs cathedral. How gigantic, how rudely exaggerated everything seems! And now the low northern sun is setting. Its last mellow rays rest full on the face of Russia's beloved Peter the Great. How the masts and steeples and iron towers are gloriously blackened against an embrushed, flaming sky! How bright are the golden flashes struck from a host of gilded domes! Mustn't See Harvard Men Eat Cambridge, Mass.—No more will visitors be permitted to stand at meal time in the galleries of Memorial hall, the dining place of 1,000 Harvard students. The diners have been accustomed to greet visitors, particularly feminine visitors, by pounding on plates and saucers with their knives and forks. The management has found that its crockery bill increases in direct proportion to the number of visitors and has decided to economize by locking up the galleries during the meal hours. About one man in a thousand ever succeeds on catching up with that promising nature. SPORTING NEWS FROM THE COLLEGES —EXPERT COMMENT LOTION EASILY MADE CLEANSING CREAM SUITABLE FOR THE TOILET TABLE. In Many Ways Better Than Can Be Purchased, Because Desired Quantity May Always Be Prepared as Desired. Do you like to mix your own lotions and experiment with the attractive looking formulas for creams which you so often see printed? It is a very delightful occupation and when the lotion comes out beautifully blended and with the delicate fragrance of a high-priced article; when the cream is white and smooth and dainty, one feels well repaid for one's time and effort. There is another side to this story, however, because sometimes the lotion comes out all curled looking and queer and the cream disintegrates and will not blend, no matter what you do. Then you register a vow that you will never, never again attempt to prepare your own cosmetics, but will spend your dollars for the prepared articles gratefully. One great difficulty with many of the published formulas is that they are too complicated for any one but a chemist to prepare and another is because the directions are seldom clear. It is not wise to use much guess-work when mixing creams and if the formula leaves you in doubt, lay it aside for a simpler one, or take it to your druggist and ask his advice about how to put the ingredients together. I have had frequent requests for the following formulas and I am sure you will experience no difficulty in preparing them even though you are the veriest amateur, provided you follow the directions carefully: For a cleansing cream, heat two ounces of oil of sweet almonds and melt in it a lump of white wax as large as a walnut; when these two ingredients are well blended add a rounding tablespoon of white vaseline and a few drops of oil of rose gernium, and beat the mixture while it is cooling till it is light and creamy. A good nourishing cream contains one-half ounce each spermaceti and white wax melted in a double boiler or dish set in a pan of boiling water; add one ounce cocoa butter, one ounce imported lanolin and three ounces sweet almond oil. When melted and thoroughly blended remove from the fire, add two ounces rose water and one dram tincture of benzoin and heat steadily till cold. An excellent lotion for the hands (the formula for which was sent me by one of my readers) is prepared from two ounces of glycerin, one ounce each tincture of benzoin, bay rum and alcohol, one-half ounce rosewater and five cents worth of quince seeds. Scald the quince seeds with about one quart of boiling water, cover the dish tightly and let steam. Do not remove the cover for twelve hours, then strain through a thin cloth and add the other ingredients. This is especially good to prevent the hands from chapping. A simple lotion which is said to possess bleaching and refining properties is made from a half ounce of glycerin mixed with a half pint of orange flower water and a level tablespoonful of powdered borax dissolved in the mixture. Another lotion which is often recommended requires one ounce oil of sweet almonds, one ounce glycerin, two ounces strained lemon juice and ten drops of carbolic acid. A few drops of rose may be added for perfume if desired and the special benefit of the lotion is to cure the chapped and roughened condition of the hands caused from the cold weather. ANSWERS TO QUERIES. California: Exercise will do more to harden your muscles and increase your appetite and digestive powers than anything else I can suggest. Go out every day and dig in that lovely garden and thank your lucky stars that you have the garden to enjoy. The pleasure of active work will do more to clear away the cobwebs from your sky than any other thing you can undertake and an hour a day out in the sunshine and fresh air and among the growing things will work marvels in your health and also your looks. New Reader: You will never succeed in restoring your hair to its natural thickness and beauty by the methods you are following. Quite the contrary effect will result, as they are altogether too strenuous. The hair and scalp are never benefited by harsh treatment any more than the face would be. You can do more harm by each treatment than you can undo in years. Gentle brushing is advisable, but it should never be carried even near the point of irritating the scalp. Nettie D: If you will keep a bowl of corn meal, moistened with vinegar, on the shelf near the kitchen sink and rub this mixture well over the hands immediately after taking them out of soapy water, it will counteract the harmful effect of the soap and will also remove ordinary stains. Rinse the hands in clear water and just before they are perfectly dried rub a soothing lotion well into the skin. If you will do this regularly you can keep your hands in very good condition. (Copyright, 1912, by Universal Press Syndicate.) Very few of us possess the gift of turning out obstacles into stepping stones. By FLORA DELL. "Yes, I have had one strange experience," Miss Myrtle smiled reminiscently, as the girls, pleaded for a story, "Myra, a school chum of mine, wrote for me to visit her at her hotel home in the west, and tired with my social duties, I accepted. On the journey I pictured her in the ordinary country town hotel; antique accommodations, fat, bald-headed proprietor, cold baths from a water pitcher, and sundry other unpleasant features. "I imagine my amazement on my arrival, after Myra's cordial reception, at being received in an exchange almost luxurious in appointment, supplemented by the most up-to-date sleeping apartments, private baths, push buttons and all modern conveniences. I retired early the first night in order to secure a long rest, and be prepared for the pleasure of the next day. I drew a long sigh of comfort as I nestled down between the cool, clean sheets and prepared for a night of sound sleep. I think I had just lost consciousness when I awoke with the sensation that some, one was in the room. I was not naturally nervous, but the feeling that now had me in its grip was one of distinct fear. When fairly awake I bounced out of bed, snapped on the electric light and made a hurried survey of the room. With the full return to consciousness I became aware of a soft sound, like deep, regular breathing, a strange, elusive sound, seeming at one minute behind me and the next to come from the center of the room. Completely baffled in my efforts to locate it, I began to think I was the victim of some practical joke, or else suffering from an unusual attack of indigestion. Deciding that the latter was not probable, I went back to bed, determined to finish my rest; but even with an effort to drown the sound by burying my head in the sheets, I could still hear the regular movements, sometimes low and soft, and again seemingly labored and right over the bed, as my fevered imagination clothed it in various impossible shapes. "I cannot tell how long I lay nervously wakeful, when I suddenly saw a soft ray of light on the window frame, and the sweet twitter of a bird on a tree outside my window appraised me of the approach of dawn, and with other welcome indications of approaching morning I lost the sound and my fear of it and drifted into a heavy sleep. "The next day I decided to say nothing about my experience, as it might bring ridicule upon me, and I passed a pleasant day with the declenst firmly rooted of banishing the whole affair from my mind. I retired after a jolly evening, ready to laugh at my experience of the previous night. "Whether the subject refused to be dismissed and my mind dwelt unconsciously upon it in my slumbers, I do not know, but about midnight I found myself once more sitting upright in the bed, clutching the bed clothing tightly and listening to the same deep, regular breathing of the night before." "Once more I brought the electric light into play; once more made a determined detour of the room, when suddenly—was it my imagination, or had the breathing really assumed a different tone? It seemed to be coming in gases—like the last labbed breath of life—it seemed close at my back. I made one leap toward the door—the gasping sounded in my ears. With a spasmodic grip I turned the handle and slipped into the wide hall. Myra's room was down the corridor, and I flew toward it, but had gone but a short distance when a hand gripped my shoulder, and I fell in an unconscious heap—at Myra's feet. "When I came to I was on her bed and she was bathing my face with a refreshing lotion. I remember murmuring, 'What was it?' and then I sank, partly from exhaustion, partly from a sweet sense of security, into a sound sleep, from which I did not awaken until morning." Miss Myrtle ceased speaking, and for a few moments there was an intense silence. At last the girls asked in chorus: "Arent you going to tell us what it was?" "Oh," said Miss Myrtle, and a little smile crinkled the corners of her mouth, and an amused shone phone in her brown eyes. There was another short silence, and then she said: "Have you ever heard of a water motor?" She laughed softly. "I never had then, but I decided that even if I had been brought up in a city, there were a few things yet to be learned." Death of Youthful Japanese Emperor. According to a Spanish writer on Japan, the most pathetic suicide recorded in the history of that country took place over eight centuries ago. "In 1181," writes Senor Gomez Carillo, "the nine-year-old Emperor Kotuku saw his troops defeated. The child disheveled his hair, wept copiously, and invoked the holy name of Buddha. When he had finished his nurse Nildoon took him in her arms to the seashore. "There is a lovely city beneath the bay," she said, and then the waves covered the emperor and his nurse." Expensive. "How otten is your motor overhauled, Binks?" asked Dusenberry. "Four times last month," said Binks. "Four times in one month?" Geerusalem! what for?" demanded Dusenberry. "Speeding," said Binks.

NOTED BANKER CANDIDATE FOR STATE TREASURER An Expert in Finance—Began Life in 1874 as Bookkeeper in the Jacksonville National Bank and Has Been in the Business Ever Since. A BROAD-MINDED MAN OF AFFAIRS While Treasurer in 1908 He Saved the State Over a Million Dollars. Andrew Russel, candidate of the Republican party for treasurer of Illinois, was born in Jacksonville, Ill., on June 17, 1856, and has spent all his busy life in this state. After receiving his education at the public schools and at Illinois College, Mr. Russel began a successful business career in 1874 as a bookkeeper in the Jacksonville National Bank. He has been in the banking business ever since, and is now vice president of the Ayers National Bank of Jacksonville. Mr. Russel has always been found to be clean, careful and unprejudiced; standing fearless for justice to all PETER H. Hon. Andrew Russel. men, and particularly interested in the moral, social and industrial uplift and advancement of the colored race. He is not a stranger to the voters of Illinois, having filled the office of State Treasurer from 1908 to 1910 to the entire satisfaction of the people. He gave the office his careful and personal attention, and during his term increased the net profits to the style almost 100 per cent. He is presented to the voters with entire confidence in his fitness, and there ought not to be the slightest doubt about his election. Actresses for Japanese Stage Although a woman is credited as the founder of the Japanese stage, no name of an actress adorns its history—the onagata has reigned supreme. But the artificial custom of substituting men for women is about to give way to the onrush of modern actresses, and one of the most unique customs of the stage is thus threatened to be superseded by real wearers of petticoats.

It was necessary to repeat the order several times before the boy could be convinced his hearing had not suddenly gone defective.

CHOOL CHILDREN TO BUILD MONUMENT TO JOHN BROWN. That Governor Woodrow Wilson was the logical man for the Negro to vote for President of the United States and that the principals of the democratic party had and would do more for the entire race, was the keynote of the speeches made at the banquet tendered Bishop Alexander Walters Tuesday night at the Baker Hotel. The banquet was given by the western branch of the National Colored Democratic League and its president. The guest of honor was the principal speaker. Bishop Walter's Address. The bishop told in detail of a rapid oath that the Democratic party had ade with the race in the few past years. He declared that every new voter that they acquired were men love the average, men of education, no after sticking with the other critics for years found that the primals underlying his party were older. He related a recent visit at he made to a caucus of the leading Democratic representatives andators in Washington. He emphasized their cordiality and their inter-in the race. Senator Ben Tillman, the foremost in declaring that the mocratic party was the right party the Negro. --- n advocating a division of the gro vote I have met with severe ticism from some people that ought know better. However much of the ticism is unfounded. It is the same very heard in other days. Our raft is in danger. Since I have nothing out the good of my people at heart I M. B. Bishop Alexander Walters. have nothing to fear nor need I be disturbed by the unjust criticism so freely indulged in some quarters. Democracy Will Ultimately Triumph. It has been said that I desire all the Negroes to vote: the Democratic ticket. I want nothing of the kind, nor have I ever by speech, letter or otherwise advised such a course. We should be as badly of politically as we are now if all the Negroes entitled to the franchise were to go over to the Democratic party. Our present political ills have largely come through the solidarity of the Negro vote. If Democracy stands for anything at all it stands for the brotherhood of man and the rule of the people. And the principles of Democracy will triumph ultimately. It is the light in our republic that is to shine more and more into the perfect day. Its growth is continuous. The Negro, being a member of this great republic, will be a recipient of its blessings. Propose Monument to John Brown. Mr. W. A. Clark spoke upon "Negro Leaders" and he struck a popular chord when he recommended "that the school children of the race be requested to give five cents apiece to erect a monument to the lamented martyr, John Brown." The other speakers were Thomas W. Swan, Judge Albert H. Putney, Dr. Joseph A. Kelley, Andrew Donavan, Hon. Richard T. Greener, L. H. Newby, Senator T. T. Alain and Hon. James A. Quinn.

New York—A man who gave the name of Robert A. Warren and said he lived at Pelham Manor, and later admitted he was a physician, was arrested in One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street after he had been beaten up by Robert Spahn and accused of trying to firt with the latter's sweet-heart. Spahn, who is a salesman, had to work at night, and was to meet Miss Agnes Finan near his place of business, between Seventh and Eighth avenue, on One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street. While waiting for him the man Warren came along and followed the girl. She stopped at a Salvation army meeting, and he spoke to her. She called him a loafer, and while persons were urging her to break her umbrella over his head, Spahn, who is six feet tall, came up. After a few words Spahn knocked the man down, and when he got up repeated the performance. Warren was arrested and a physician called to the West One Hundred and Twenty-fifth street station to patch him up. The entire party was then taken to the night court. Eccentric Henry Beekman Armstrong Makes His Brother Executor of Odd Bequests. Poughkeepsie, N. Y.-The will of Henry Beekman Armstrong, an eccentric member of the Astor family, who died at Red Hook, a short time ago, disposes of an estate valued at a quarter of a million dollars. All the property will go to charity. There are a few specific bequests to local philanthropic institutions, and the residuary estate, valued at $200,000, is left to his brother, James Armstrong, with instructions that "The whole sum is to be used for philanthropic purposes." Armstrong lived as a recluse for many years. A blasted romance-of his early youth caused his retirement from society, and he spent the remainder of his life alone on his little farm. Washed Hubby's Face Five Years St. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. Nellie J.

Last Sabbath at Lincoln Memorial Congregational church, Pastor Lawrence gave a splendid exhortation. Text: Matthew 19:16-22; subject, "Half Way." In every avocation many individuals start out hopeful and full of courage, but after having gone a part of the way suffer themselves to be sidetracked, or, unwilling to pay the cost, turn back. The latter was the case with the young man upon the conduct of whose life our text is based. Few there are who readily take the medicine prescribed for their lilies. It is either too sweet or too bitter, too flat or too acid, or it stings and bites. If a patient is wise and resolute, he will submit to the treatment prescribed. In the realm of morality and spirituality these facts are more evident. No habit is surrendered without great effort, no partially wrecked character is ever mended and made whole except that at some point in the process the individual will feel that the cost THE CHICAGO DEFENDER RCH. ening p. m. k. in his Mrs. is too dear. But as soon as he begins to realize the joy of a healthy life he says, "Had it cost twice what it did I should have gladly paid it." The more critical the case the more severe must be the remedy. To set a dislocated joint after it has begun to heal and grow in a distorted condition, some sense of suffering must be experienced. But the joint must be set. the limb straightened, or the defect will follow the individual to his grave. church wow wilw Ple tin graver The city pro ene REV. EUGENE C. LAWRENCE. The road to moral and spiritual health is a long one, but to go part of the way and then turn back is to defeat the end sought. Ignorance is an enemy to the individual and a menace to society. It locks against its victim the doors to the higher pleasures and the larger realization of self. It sets up between its victim and the richer treasures of life an impassable barrier; it takes all the starch and flavor out of his social life and degrades his religion. Its victims are the great and small, the young and beautiful. Upon its battlefield many lives have been sacrificed. And when we look upon the corpse of that young man, or this young woman, it reminds us of a tree ruthlessly wrong from its trunk at the time of its first fruit. But even in such ill-fated instances who knows but that somewhere in the economy of a just God these early stricken lives go on to bud, blossom and fragrance in worlds of greater mysteries far away. They were your classmates in school, your chums in society, your partners in business; your husbands, your wives, your sons or your daughters. But some of the apparent failures in this life become the stars of greatest magnitude in eternity. When a young man starts out hopefully in his school career and after the first year or two drops out, we pity him. When an individual takes his place in the social life of the community and assists to mould sentiment, thought and character, and then gradually digress from his first principles, the people question his original integrity, and fall away from his standard. The man in business who turns to idle pleasures and allows his affairs to go to pieces is pronounced a prodigal, a spendthrift or a fool. A soldier who turns traitor or deserts the ranks if apprehended is court-marshalled and shot to death. But in life's moral welfare when for lack of courage or lapse of will power the individual falls by the wayside, who is He that condemneth, and who is He that justifith? It is He who searcheth the heart and knoweth the intent of the mind. Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right? There may be those here this morning who are having something of this fight. Do not give up; take the next step. Sorrow endureth but for a night, and joy cometh in the morning. The next step may put you across the danger line, land you within the walls of the city. Many times when men and women become aware their habits are defeating the way to eternal life they for a time call a halt, and turn in the right direction, only, alas, to go back. How many of such cases have we seen, known, and pitied. But let us not censure; God alone knows what were the temptations, their weaknesses and their failures, and therefore He alone can be judge. But to those who followed to the end came victory. Like the zealots of the crusaders they made their march traceable by blood and the bleached skeletons on the way. When the remnant of those worn and haggard crusaders caught sight of the Holy Land they bowed their faces to the ground and wept, saying in exultant prayer, "Father, from a distant land thy host hath come, let thy grace defend us when afar from home." To us as to them, lo! in the distance, the cross of Calvary looms, challenging the soldier to battle, encouraging the man in his business; making light the burden of the housewife, the toils of the husband, and strengthening the social and religious reformers for the disappointments he or she may meet with on the way; it lends strength and patience to the nurse at the bedside; it fascinates and allures the pilgrim weeping over the tragic scene in Pilate's hall. For, as God lives, he shall live, and never die. And in the morning when he awakes, he shall know that his faith, his refusal to stop half way was his redemption. WAYMAN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH.

HEADQUARTERS The Latest News of the Work in This City—Items of Interest Speakers. The Young Men's Christian Association had a very successful gospel meeting at Old Fellows' hall on last Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Two representatives from the Railroad Conference, which was held in the city, were present as speakers. Mr. Wolfe, secretary of the Railroad Department, Y. M. C. A., of Kansas City, Mo., was the first speaker who appeared on the program. Mr. Wolfe did not come as an invited speaker but occupied the time while the audience was waiting for the arrival of Mr. J. J. McKim, who had been advertised as the speaker. Mr. Wolfe's remarks were quite timely and showed the interest that he has in our men. Mr. J. J. McKim, who is secretary of the Railroad Department, Y. M. C. A. of St. Louis, Mo., has the distinction of being secretary of one of the largest railroad departments in the world. Mr. McKim dealt with the subject, "The Challenge of Religion to the Modern Man." His remarks were forcibly put and impressed all the men with the many truths that were brought out in the discussion of this subject. Among the many things said may be mentioned the following extracts: "Christianity is at present confronted with the greatest problems that it has ever had to deal with; the problems of prosperity, the problems of the city, and the problems of virtue. The greatest opportunity for service is offered now. Keep the way open to God and dedicate yourselves to bringing on His kingdom. I can't be halfway decent without being a Christian. Jesus Christ is no respecter of persons and when He is in the heart, sin must go. If you are fighting a losing battle, the only way to find peace is to take the pathway that Jesus trod. Why don't you lift your part of the load? Anybody can be a tough, but it takes a man to be a Christian. It is very hard to be the best man in the world." At the close of the address, when the invitation was extended, eleven men stood for prayer and with the expressed desire to try to live better lives. These eleven men met Mr. Kim and other workers at the close of the meeting. The usual song services were held immediately before the meeting and every man had a chance to take part in the meeting. On Sunday, Oct. 13, at 4 p. m., another of our gospel meetings will be held at the Odd Fellows' hall. Mr. F. A. Crosby, city director of the boys' work of the Y. M. C. A. of Chicago, will speak on the subject, "Who Is Your Neighbor?" Mr. Crosby has spoken to our men before and is no stranger. It is expected that he will bring an encouraging message to us. Our collecting committee continues to make very encouraging reports concerning their work among the various subscribers to our building fund. Many of the delinquent subscribers are meeting their obligations through this committee and all express their interest in the work and their ultimate intention of clearing up their obligations. The brick work on the building is nearly completed and the stone setters are placing the stone around the top section of the fifth floor. The building at this point towers above the elevated structure in such a way that it can be seen while riding on the State street car. The terra cotta workers are busy placing their fireproof material between the floor and ceiling sections. Mr. Moorland stopped over for several hours and visited our headquarters both before going to conferences at Kansas City, Mo., and Buxuin, in., and upon his return therefrom. He left the city on Thursday night for his headquarters in Washington, D. C. Don't forget the Y. M. C. a gospel meetings on Sunday afternoons at 4 p. m. The very best speakers with messages will be present at these meetings. All men are invited and are given a chance to join in the singing and responsive readings. You can meet the best men of Chicago at the Y. M. C. A. meetings. Special music. Completely Finished One day my little three-year-old sister asked mama for a slice of bread.

Her Faith Lost A little Boston girl was coaxed to own to her aunt that she had done something which she ought not, and which she stoutly denied. Finally, such undeniable proof of her guilt was put up before her that she could no longer keep her denial. She turned to her aunt, and said: "Well, Aunt Kittle, you can't trust anybody, nowadays!" Money Must Be Appropriated for All Expenses. Attorney General Stead Held That People Were Entitled to Know Income of State as Well as Cost of Government. The last two Republican administrations have been notable for the number of business principles injected into public administration. Not the least of the business principles introduced is that of a lucid accounting for all public money handled in the name of the state. To Attorney General Stead the people of Illinois are indebted for placing the finances and accounting of the state on a strictly legal basis. Formerly many state agencies collected fines, fees and penalties which, in the aggregate, amounted to a large sum. The money so received were expended without any formal appropriation and according to the ideas of expediency entertained by administrative officers. Held System Wrong: Attorney General Stend said that this system was wrong; that the citizen and taxpayer had a right to know the total income of the state and from what sources and the total expenditures of the state and for what purposes; and that every dollar expended should be authorized by the legislature. He held, therefore, that all fees belonging to the state and collected by its officers and administrative agencies should be turned into the state treasury and remain there until the legislature should authorize them to be paid out in regular manner for specified purposes. The legislature enacted the opinion into law, which the court has upheld. Substitute Business Methods The ruling was logical, though somewhat revolutionary. The old practice was one of loose business methods. It was unprooted by a single opinion. In its stead has been substituted a strict method of accounting. Any citizen today can turn to the session laws and ascertain how much each officer and each administrative board is spending, and the purposes and objects for which the public funds are being expended. The exact financial condition of the state, at the close of each day, is shown by the auditor's books. An old loose practice has disappeared and one founded on strict business principles has taken its place. Cost Now is Known. This important ruling in the interest of sound administration has created a situation which the public has the right to understand definitely. Apparently, legislative appropriations will be increased. In reality, the funds in the state treasury will be increased in greater proportion, as it will be enriched by fees which, under the old system, never would have reached the treasury. The legislature will not, in every instance, appropriate the whole of the fees and moneys collected by these various boards for their maintenance and support. These increased appropriations have not only not added a single cent to the taxes, but, as a matter of fact, the fees received have exceeded the appropriations authorized, thus lessening the tax burden. Edward F. Dunne is traveling through the state denouncing everybody and everything. According to his notions, since the days of John P. Attgeld, nothing has happened in Illinois that was commendable and very little that was respectable. He ought to read the statutes and study the legislation of the last eight years. If he ever does, and is fair to himself and fair to the people, he will revise his speech.—From address of Attorney General W. H. Stead.

GREEN Author of Illinois Strong Civil Right Assembly From Chicago and Author of Illinois Strong Civil Right Law, Present Member of the General Assembly From Chicago and a Candidate for Re-election Governor Calls Ridiculous the Charges of Opponents. DISCUSSES PRIMARY LAWS Shows How Impossible It Seems to Be to Please Dunne and Funk—They Compplain Anyway and Cry "Insincere." Kankakee, Oct. 8.—Governor Deneen arrived here tonight on his tour of this section of the state. He spoke to a good audience tonight. He discussed the subject of primary legislation and incidentally took occasion to reply to charges made against him by Mr. Dunne, Mr. Funk and Colonel Dowey. He said: "There is a strange similarity between the character of the campaign carried on against me by the Democratic candidate for governor, Edward F. Dunne, and the Bull Moose candidate, Senator Funk. Realizing that they cannot contest the facts, they join in trying to mislead the public in regard to my motives in connection with the facts of legislation and administration. I direct attention to Illinois primary legislation. Both Judge Dunne and Senator Funk seek to have the public believe that in some way I caused unconstitutional primary laws to be passed by the general assembly—where I neither had power to offer amendments or to vote—and then blame me for convening the general assembly in extraordinary session to enact new primary laws which would meet our constitutional requirements. Tells of Great Struggle. "This is an old dodge. When you can't deny the facts, question the motives. Concede the man's character for honesty, but question his motive for being so. "The struggle for the enactment of a primary law has been one of the greatest political contests in our state. I made a campaign for such a law eight years ago and urged persistently the passage of primary laws in ordinary and extraordinary sessions of the general assembly until one had been passed which met the approval of the supreme court. Asks Help of Court. "The public will remember my letter to the supreme court requesting that court, under the constitution, to draft a primary law which would meet constitutional requirements. Even this request of mine, in the minds of my opponents, has been construed as an effort to have another defective primary law enacted. "I convened the general assembly in extraordinary session to enact the presidential preference primary law which was enacted before the primaries of April 9. They thereupon complained that I did not convene the general assembly to pass such a law until I was satisfied that such a law could be passed. This seems to irritate the gentlemen as a grave charge. They have become so used to shooting in the air without aim that they object to anybody who hits the mark. People Have Chance. "Even the operation of the law furnishes them other, grounds for abusing me about primary legislation. The law having afforded for the first time in our state an opportunity for the people themselves to rule the state directly through a secret ballot, and to every citizen an opportunity to indicate his choice for president, they then abuse me because I did not follow the example of other governors in bossing the state. It seems that they are pleased with the primaryaws, but not pleased with me who made it possible to have them. But the public will not fall to observe that the lack of real ground for criticism has made these two distinguishable, but disgruntled gentlemen wondrous kind." If some of us would work as har at any old thing as we do just to break even at poker at the year's en we'd own boatboats and things. 72 Law, Present Member of the General a Candidate for Re-election. » JORDAN CHAVIS BURIED; Famous Baptist Divine, National and State Grand Master of the U.
