Aher, formerly a practicing physician of Austin and native of Marshall, who succeeded the late C. M. White as head of the American Medical Association, made several days, making his first official visit to the state and city since his promotion and elevation to the supreme commander of Austin this great organization. Dr. E. W. D. Aher, son of the lamented David Aher, Sr. who now sleeps beneath the pinyen trees of Harrison County, has entered upon his new work with both vim and vision, both which are needed to assist him in his work. He is going to make good as the directing head of this "giant of Negro fraternals," of Denver, Colo.

Parents should see parents rear and educate to see parents fortunate to breed their children in later years proving themselves a blessing to humanity and lifting their fortunate brother as a parent. The hope of any race lies chiefly in the hope that youth should youth should almost entirely upon their forbear.

Recently, as was told in the Crisis for September, he was forced out. His successor was W. H. A. Howard, a man who he himself had been a teacher two years ago, and whom the colored people believed in his removal. Studenta Strike.

They even interfered with their possession. A doctor was fired at by one of the guardians students attempted to leave on Friday, but guards stood at the station Teacher Driven Away. Homer Thomas, dean of the college society, gave a speech to the students to be signed "190" and 50 algerian," ordering him to leave, with the siring students, by studying at the college through the buses and catch the train to the campus. He was acceded on Friday night. Several of the students but on Friday night and they went to the week following. Out of an enrollment of 235 there remains less than 10 percent of the students is doomed if the present head is still in office. The students blame the president for the presence of the guards and declared that the president is not with white men standing over them. It is known that the colored people of the state that there is opposition to the higher education of Negroes and their status is demeaned.

Here, there, and seeers have been declaring for Cool Washington, D. C.—In another month congress will open. The law making body has had a long rest; the longest in years. President Coolidge has already begun to make copious notes on his first presidential candidate and the politicians await the great event. Since coming into office so unexpectedly, the president has been a sphinx; with his message to congress the president will become an oracle. It is very evident that President Coolidge keenly realizes the great of the situation. Consumate skill has been used by his friends and the politicians, and his friends have been building presidential fences in the interim. Obviously, prospective candidates have been placed at a decided disadvantage. There is an old saying that it "takes two to make a fuss." The president has seen to it that he is not the second one, a fuss. The president is not the second one, national leaders have been declaring for Coolidge for president. Starting in with the powerful backlash will be a noise like a real pillow of governmental influence, a keen interest in political vision and a generous national group of influential friends, the president can be a guilty base. This can hardly be guessed.

Well, there is a sign of a break of new entries into the bog contest. Some Washington newspaper writers on big dailies have recently sent out dispatches to the effect that the president may have little or no opposition. Whether the wish is the father to the thought, or whether they "see through a glass darkly," it is difficult to say. The Associated Negro Press can in form its reading public with a wide degree of certainty that there will be other than President Copledge as a republican candidate for president at the convention next June, in all likelihood in Chicago again. Gov. Pinchot of Pennsylvania, while not saying so in so many words, has recently acted by expression and manner as a genuine candidate. Former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, has publicly declined the "crown" of ambassador to England; from a man of Gov. Lowden's wealth, social standing and innate ambitions, that should be significant. Close friends of the governor have advised that it is very significant. Senator Hiram Johnson of California has been almost as silent as the "Gentleman from Massachusetts," but powerful friends of the senator have been doing some remarkable gum-shoe work, and it looks as though there CHARLES BANKS, MOUND BAYOU BUSINESS LEADER, PASSES AWAY (By Associated Negro Press.) (By Associated Negro Press.) Clarksdale, Miss. — A maging illness which had troubled him for three years, proved fatal to Charles Bank, financial wizard, merchant, and town builder. Mr. Banks succumbed at the J. T. Wilson hospital in Memphis, Tenn. His funeral was conducted here this week from the Friendship A. M. E. Church. His death takes from the ranks of Negro leaders in Mississippi and the South one of the leading thinkers of the day. On all hands, by both races, he was regarded as a genius. Party leaders and all lines of strife were forgotten by the mourners of every class who flocked to his funeral. Mr. Banks was born in this city in 1873. His burial here gives him the unique distinction of being born in Mississippi and was born and where he had labored most. As a boy, his predilection for business was shown in the establishment of a merchant in 1889. This cancerc business was continued until 1903 when Mr. Banks founded Mound Bayou, in the town of the same name founded by Isaiah Montgomery.

That sounds like Ford is willing; and there is a serious interest here in the Favorite Sons and Us. There are bound to be a number of more serious Sons' offer to the country, Mr. Sons offered to the country a choice, "they are certain to come as second, a certain of Indiana as third, of Ohio as fourth, of Ohio as two others; Sons Ward sons of New York is yet another, and the Sons of New York are not yet to come to the surface. Colored sons of New York have meant what for what they have meant and what for what they have meant and what for the group. There has been considerable disappointment in recent years, and the enthusiasm for this has increased and that has a fine spill of dampness. All candida-tions have this, and they are governing themselves accordingly. In his comments on this, Mr. Sons no doubt have something interesting to say in his message to congress on the issue of appealing to the public, but leaders insist "actions speak - louder than words." corporation with $100,000 capital. He also landed the Mound Bayou Land and Investment Company. In 1901 Mr. Banks was elected third vice-president of the Mound Bayou Business League, and in 1901 he was president, a position he retained until his death. At the convention this year he was suffering from the indisposition which caused his death. He was one of the leading church and fraternal men of his race in the state. In politics, Mr. Banks was a republican. In 1904 and 1908 he was a republican of the republican national convention, and in 1912 he was a delegate at large. FRATERNAL LEADER COMMENDS INFORMER Hon. C.

HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, NOV. 3, 1923. "WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT." Judging from the evidence, charges, accusations and wholesale allegations made by the klan factions in the Atlanta, Georgia hearing during the week, things are not so calm, serene and harmonious in the "invisible empire." "Brother Bill" charges that "Brother Hiram" and his accomplices have virtually bankrupted the exchequer of the organization by acquiring and wielding the Chikara class last spring and an additional huge sum for supporting and practically underwriting a certain "organ" of the "imperial order." Charges of graft, malfeasance, criminal extravagance, blackmail, violation of the "fraternity"s constitution and other high warring factions and it is beginning to appear that the half has not been told. All of which reminds of the adage, "When thieves fall out, honest men get their just dues." We hate to see the leaders of this great "100 per cent American" organization fighting and contending sensuously, and the greatest foe to any organization or movement is internal rather than external. No order with such high and noble objects and as the klan professes to espouse (and on which Imperial Wizard Evans had fought) to resist the attack at the Dallas fair, last week), should permit a few hungry money-grabbers and designing politicians and grafters to create dissension and strife in the ranks, making it necessary to resort to the courts (tribunals the klan does not believe in when trying some person who has incurred its wrath and displeasure) for redress But, since Texas has been the klan's main stronghold and has poured more coin of the realm into the coffers of the Atlanta headquarters than any other American state, it is rather proper and befitting that Texas occupy high places in the order and expends the money. The Texas has been the most important to spend the We put most of the "mazuma" there and we reserve the right to spend most of it in our own way and manner and he who opposes our program of reckless expenditures—let him beware! beware!!! beware!! We glory in Dr. Evans's punk, if not in his judgment and gumping the foe in an own demonstrates the fact that Texas knows a good thing when they see it and that they are not so proud to permit it to elude their grasp. “Bill” Simmons is perfectly right in his objections and efforts to restrain this celebrated Texas dentist from abducting or kidnapping the child of his brain and product of his ingenuity, and to stop the sale of the treasury of the organization. It is an interesting one of the first and lovely things to these brothers in the "sacred bond unfalling" falling out over filthy laore (which the apostle styles as the "root of all evil") and the spoils and "trimmings" of high offices. Yes, sir, it is beginning to look like the "unfailing bond" is about to "fail" and that the ties of brotherhood are about to be disjuncted and the balance and art found among the "high-cock-a-jorums" and erstwhile potentials of the "invisible empire." Whether the present suit, tilt, rift, litigation, or court-contest results in the complete disintegration and destruction of the order or not, the fact remains that the seed of disintegration has been placed in the inscription. "Mene, mene, tekel upharsin" (Thou are weighed the balance and art found wanting) has been written by an invisible and cosmic hand upon the interior of the imperial castle of the "invisible empire." Also the workers of iniquity who do dirty deeds in the day can be off; they are taught and taught soon be cut off; lo, just a little while more, weave with us no more. Anthar! Kotop!! Selah!!! THAT INIQUITOUS FEE SYSTEM Much has been said and written about and against the inquisitive and infamous fee system of Texas, yet, with all its evils, ills and injustices, it is necessary to abolish the system and consign it to the scrap-pile with other age- and obsolete methods of dealing with crimes and criminals. We read an interesting and illuminating article in one of our daily newspapers, lately, regarding the operations and activities of certain fee-grabbing officers in this county; who make promiscuous raids, with colored people as their chief victims, and then get the justice of the peace out of his bed and compel these often more humiliated and defenseless persons to plead guilty to various and sundry crimes. This system of colored people pleading "gulity" to charges is no uncommon practice in the South, whose section is blighted and dwarfed by the high-handed, unscrupulous and unprincipled actions and deeds of so many of its peace and constabulary officers, who else out a bare existence or grow wealthy and fat, fleecing and massacre, innocent and defenseless colored citizens out of their meagre means on finable charges and accusations. Next to lynch-law, the iniquitous fey system has done more to stimulate the exodus of the colored brother to the North and East and cause dissatisfaction among those remaining here than any other form of Southern injustice and inequality; for it is nothing more than the legalized lynchery. It matters not whether the accused is guilty of some crime or not, if the arresting officer or officers say that the black man or woman (as the case may be, as they raid and arrest nearly as many women of the race as they do men) is guilty of some crime, he or she is guilty and all the witnesses under high heaven can not inflame that equity vertict to the contrary. One justice of the peace said that a colored man during the last week of his tenure of office, "Boy, we know you are not guilty, but we need the money!" The idea seems to prevail in these circles that some persons must serve as goats or sources of revenue for these hungry officers, and the black people can be led like sheep to the shaughter, circumstances, and virtually robbed of their little and meagre finances. We once heard a presiding officer of a court in a Texas city say: "John, you had a right to do so and so, but I fine you $ and cost." Catch that "cost"? Well, that little "cost" is what makes a small fine assume mammoth proportions. To illustrate: We know a colored man who was arrested on a trivial offense and after fighting his case, was fine "$1 and cost"; but when he got through paying the "cost," it had passed him. Practically every county officer got his out of that "cost," and, because this is their chief and main method of earning a salary, they often "frame" persons, arrest them at night, try them at night and get their out of the "cost" between suns. If the fee system were abolished, officers would not arrest persons with some money for fat, juicy steaks," as we heard one fee-grabbing officer for the court, where the court held that the colored brother, though not guilty by the evidence, would pay "$1 and cost." Talk about your graft and crookedness, but the fee system is a prolific source of such procedure, entirely out of keeping with the law. It outrages justice, makes mokey mockery of honesty and decency, prostitutes and debases supposed minions and guardians of the ages, renders and maintains our Southern species of civilization a huge joke and is fundamentally at variance with and in relation to the basic principles of criminal law and court procedure. Like mob-law, if unrestrained and licensed to run its course without let or hindrance, the iniquitous and infernal fee system will ultimately engulf the South in a mighty maelstrom and wreak havoc. Let's abish the damnable and diabolical system in Texas, or it will eventually prove a cancer and consume our very vital! WELCOME. METHODISTS! Houston is host this week to two branches of Methodists: The African Methodists holding their annual conference at Wesley Chapel African Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. G. B. Young pastor, while the Methodists are staging their yearly meet at Boynton Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church, Rev. S. W. Johnson pastor. Since both churches will elect delegates to their respective quadrennial conferences, which hold forth during 1924, an unusually large number of delegates are in attendance. The delegates are joined into the ring as delegates to their general conferences of their churches; but, as usual, many are called but few will be chosen. But these messengers and religious workers are not merely meeting to push their candidacy or the candidacy of some other aspirant for honor or office, but to advance the Master's kingdom among the sons of men and contribute their bit, through oration, to honor and reclamation of lost man through human instrumentalities. The church, as we have often stated, is the greatest living force for the uplift and humanizing of mankind; and, the man who professes a hope in Christ and calls himself a follower of the Lowly Nazarene and yet hates his fellowman of any race, tribe or kind; a liar and the truth is not in him," so declares the Holy Writ. These devotees and adherents of the Christian religion believe in the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" and that God is no respecter of persons, but out of one blood make all nations that dwell upon the face of mater terra. They not only believe in Christianity and its tenets, dogmas, practices and ancient teachings, but they are also firm believers in Christianity and in employing business in God's earthly institution—the church. They do not subscribe to the idea that "you can take all this world but give me Jesus;" but rather embrace the idea that Jesus and some of the world's goods do more to place Christianity in a world of its rightful place than "all Jesus" and utter poverty and want. They assemble here (these Christian workers: ministers and laymen) to outline and execute a program of far-reaching importance, which has as its object more prepared ministers, more efficient teachers, better institutions of learning and eleemosynary schools, more churches buildings and a concert of action and solidarity of forces necessary and imperative in the church militant. For all that delegates to these two annual conferences represent for advancing the Master's cause, for racial uplift and so on, with participation they hope to accomplish while here or set in motion, we wish to thank them and extend a most cordial welcome to them to enjoy and share the hospitality of "Heavenly Houston." Christian friends, you are guests of the greatest and fastest-growing city in all the Southland—a city that Nature has smiled upon and loved. We are grateful to those whose colored population, besides being the largest of any city in the state, is thrifty, law-abiding and withal a credit to the municipality; a city famed for its multiplicity of churches and multiplicity of preschools, and its exceedingly large number of colored homes. We bid you welcome, Methodist friends, to all that our city affords and possesses, and may your deliberations be marked with such harmony and success that you will ever have fond memories and happy recollections of your 1923 annual conferences in "Heavenly Houston." —the city with a million opportunities.—"Heavenly Houston."

Friends here who can choice for, episcopal, honors at the dum dum altar. DR. E. J. HOWARD, Waco, presiding elder of that district of the African Methodist. Episcopal Church, and has proeminently mentioned as Texas proeminently mentioned as the choice for episcopal honors at the Much is said about a "primary" being had in Texas for the purpose of electing its candidate for the bishopric together with candidates for other offices of the great A. M. E. Church. This appears to be the logical thing to do. In this article, we will only deal with the matter pertaining to the bishopric. This article does not pre-elaborate on the�ation of the church, thus to thought upon the great question: What kind of bishop does the A. M. E. Church need? A. E. J. HOWARD: We begin with his education of his religious because we are discussing a Christian ministry and therefore it is taken for granted that the individual has or in its场所 has the religion. This, then, is given to the bishopric. Among the many definitions of education that are of worth, let us use this one: Education is that menta equipment whereby one is able to surveal among his fellows, and to control his conduct in the work and society. It is not a matter how the man came by these qualities that make for education, but the questor of paramount importance is, does he possess them? Here is a man that has been the command of knowledge and control of the English. He is a being himself understood in a becoming manner anywhere he may chance to be; his thoughts de mand the attention of his hearers, and his advices and counsels are safe and safe to his life. For example, the worth of an education is and worth—the act of bringing things to pass—he stands equal to the best and far beyond the majority. A soul-saver, a church builder, a community asset—a brotherly brother everywhere and to a family of life. The minister, a material and otherwise, this man not only lived in a creditable way, not only among the leaders of his profession but above many of them. In what category and upon what page shall he write this man in view of a finitude? In the education Shall we call him educated? Shall we be shall not share an educated man's portion when he has filled the place that only an educated man fills? God forbid! Upon what meat have these mad men fed who would deny such a position among men who sit in high and reverent places (the bishopric)? II. As to self-possession, deliberate ness and coolness: Above all, breath ness and coolness. We choose our choice of a man for the bishopric it is the man who will not lose hip ness and coolness. We hot and furious that the church needs today at its head. It is not the man who needs hip ness and coolness, snake, because of an unfriendly touch that we need to guide us like the righthand of church life, the righthand of church life, but he who can keep himself together and think things in his own mind, host of Allen. The time has come when we must take our lament in the hymn that we know that these marks of coolness and coolness have if so, name him - select him at the primary - to honour it. This is an invaluable attribute of any man's life, and above all, it should be the main attribute of any man for the bishopric - a man who the church can trust, yes, a man who Our bishops have much to do with the money handling in our church, and we may run for the bishop, and since we are not controlled, someone who can takeing to money may have brains to stop him long enough to put a bell on him that the delegates may hear. If he runs amok while he runs amok in the ecological forest. We repeat that the thing is necessary. We have such a man in Texas. W. As to domestic affinity: It is important in connection with membership in connection with the bishop. SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER A. M. E. BISHOPRIC TIMBER A. M. E. BISHOPRIC TIMBER ric, for the Bible has settled this question, and the church has followed in its wake. The light of present day knowledge, the view of the sanctity of the church is unthinkable that anyone who has heard dare attempt to force them to believe, having two or more living wives God ford! The moral analysis we must follow the Bible if we would be correct in our choice of a bishop. "A bishop, then, must be blemishes, a husband, not a slave, a servant, a behavior, given to hospitality, apt to teach; not given to, who, no stranger, not a servant, not a brawler, not covenants; not quell his own house having, for a reason, not a gravity. For if a man know how not to care of the church of God," etc. Tim. 3:2. We such a man in Texas that will, in our judgment, approach the Bible requirement of a bishop?

Galveston, Texas — Friday night, October 26, at Macedonia Baptist Church the Houston Super-Stars Choral Club rendered the best program heard here this season. Long before the visitors arrived, the chairs had to be brought in for overflow. The program opened with "Lift Up Your Chair," in this number the chorus, which would have made glide the hearts of New York and Chicago clear of clear understanding of the text. The high standard was maintained throughout the program, except in "Scaled Down," in this number this number that splendid harmony which the audience looked for. The chorus was not pronounced; it was not sung with that religious fervor which makes a beautiful The reading of "Hagan," by Mrs. Robertson, would have found favor and have mentored help to bring out pathos, but had little value when the tragic plight of the women was not the elements of both. The bass solo by Mr. C. P. Richardson was the best of the three, gave export service as a violinist. The band by Meddman A. Davies and C. J. Davies rendered that the audience wanted it repeated, not because our own Mrs. Robertson had sung the lament of the ladies had the right tonal infiltration. Mrs. Sarah Shelph Jones-Johnson had some famous singers go off pitch at the thrill, but Mrs Jones did. She But the most meritorious, certainly the most protentious number, on the tour of the world, is the quartet from Rigololet. We have seen so many of our group make such a real joy to hear it rendered by singers who knew what the text was about. They started off with the right tempo for the Piva, adapted from one of Hugo's dramas, and the quartet, "Beautifuls of the South," adapted from the Delamor), is the number. Here the singers reached her honeyshot not only for the South. Mr. M. H. Montgomery, as the duke, gave a big account of the attempt to sing this number after an overland trip from Houston, and what was made up in action and a thorough understanding of what was to be done. The duke was observed save at the beginning.

For the concert, recital and orchestra performance the artist should rise and take his position before the prelude starts. The one thing that gave us hope is found in Miss Mattie Overton; this young lady has a real contralto voice with power, range and flexibility; just the height and personality for a great artist. If the club women of Houston desire to make a contribution to the musical development of the race, their opportunity is in this young lady. In four years she could take her place alongside the great contraltos of the earth. The white club women would never let that chance slip—too rare. Too much can not be said of Mrs. P. O. Smith, the directress. She had a well-chosen program and gave expert service at the piano. Had she given this program in Chicago, at the end of the performance the audience would have given her an ovation. But we will learn that later. Come again; you have set a standard!

Several committees had been strenuously working to the end that nothing could be done to comfort and pleasure the aged mother of friends of this congregation. A very fitting program contained on the website of the congregation by a very appropriate sermon by Pastor E. L. Harrison and winding up with a most apprehensive moment of the church is artistically decorated with Halloween designs, and the table grounded under the weight of the great emerald bird, the turkey.

Teacher of English教学 in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (© 1928, Western Hudson Union.) WORLD.WIDE PROBIBITION- WORLD'S TEMPERATURE SUNDAY. LESSON TEXT - Ps. 101:1-9, Prov. 31:1 * GOLDEN TEXT- I will set no winked thing before my eyes—"Ps. APRIMARY TOPIC-Taking Care Primary TOPIC-JUNIPER The Effects of ALTERNATED MEMORIED SENOR IPC-Program of Prohibition at Home YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Fight Against Lifesuicies 1. Principles of a Righteous Life This is a palm of David the king, and therefore shows the conduct of a ruler. It is divided into two sections: the first, the conduct, and the second, S4, to the government of others. This part of the lesson can only refer to the destructive nature of the evil in it to be unprotected and destroyed. 1. Personal Conduct (vv. 1-4). (1) Kindness and judgment (v. 1); (2) wise behavior (v. 2); (3) all malice put away (v. 3); all wickedness put aside (v. 4). 2. Government of Others (vv. 5-8). Only as one is right in his own heart and life is he fit to rule others. As a righteous man he will be against (1) the slanderer (v. 5). He will not tolerate such in his presence. (2) The worker of deceit (v. 7). The deceitful man and the liar are to be removed from his sight. (3) All workers of iniquity (v. 8). It is the duty of rulers to see that all workers of wickedness of all kinds be cut off. The manufacturer and seller of liquor should be regarded as notorious workers of iniquity. Those who blight manhood for sordid gain are grossly wicked. II. The Awful Wrink Wrought by Strong Drink (Prov. 28-29-35). 5 Strong Drink (Rev. 25-29-55). 1. Woes of Those Who Indulge in Whine (vv. 2, 30). (1) The awful palm which causes one to cry out, "Oh!" 2. Many, indeed, are the pains which men suffer because of strong drink. Bodily lifts the unbearable can be traced to evil influence. (2) The bitter response, which causes one to cry out, "Alas!" 3. Many are the expressions of bitter regret which daily come from the lips of the drunkard. (3) Contention—strife and quarreling. Much of the fighting among men is directly caused by their passions being inflamed by strong drink. The drunken man is always ready to take offense, as well as to give it. (4) Babblings and complainings. The winebiber compains of everything—I lack, loss of friends, of fate and of God. He sees everything wrong but himself. (5) Wounds without cause. These are wounds from fights in which a sober man would not have engaged, and from accidents which are purely the result of intoxication. (6) Redness of eyes. This has reference to the blood-shot eye of the tippler which dimes his vision. All these woes come upon the men who marry long at wine. 4. The Attitude Enjoined (vv. 31). Look not at it. Don't put yourself into the way of temptation. The only safe attitude toward strong drink is total abstinence, and the only way to total abstinence is not to even look at it. 2. Prevention of the Moral Sense. This excitement causes the eye to be eyebroken. The brain is fantastic protein produced on the brain of the drummer. Even when delirium tremens does not result, there are awakenings of realization. Then does his heart perverse sense. His moral sense being perverted, his utterance of words cannot be relied upon. 3. He Is Inimitable to Danger (v. 34). He is both hardy, even as one who is in danger, where there is the greatest danger of falling off. 4. He Is Inimitable to Pain (v. 35). The drankman is utterly ignorant of what happens to him while the influence of strong drink. Many drankers have drank hard which he cannot use for him. 5. His Affect Boundage (v. 35). After his sufferings, sorrow and disgust have developed in a bond slave in the ways of sin. Whale Sow of Human Life. Of the whole sum of human life no one can know better than a man's relations to his country, and his feelings concerning it. -Gladstone. Proposals.

Doctors said my only hope of cure was an operation. Trusses did me no good. Finally I got hold of something that quickly and completely cured me. Years have passed and the rupture has never returned, although I am doing hard work as a carpenter. There was no operation, no boat time, no trouble. I have nothing to sell, but will give full information about how you may find a complete cure without operation. If you write to me, Eugene M.

He wants to arbitrate ring battles. The greatest slugger of modern baseball has tried his hand at almost everything else, but nothing has provided the thrill he expects to get out of forcing exponents of the manly art out of clinches and making them fight. Babe conceived the idea when approached the other day by a member of the committee arranging the boxing carnival to be promoted by an Elks lodge at the West New York (N. J.) baseball park for the benefit of crippled children. Babe was invited to be the guest of honor. “All right,” said Ruth. “I’ll accept. I’d like to referee one of the bouts.” Horseshoe Champion Horseshoe Champion M. J. P. *Francisco of Columbus, O.* retained her crown as women's head of the United States in the tournament just closed at Clerkland. She is shown in a biography, a memoir, a tribute in defending C. M. A. C. Laughlin of Bloomington, IL, in the finals. Ouimet Has Come Close to Honors Many Times Once more has Francis Oulmet tried and failed to annex the national amateur golf title. Once more has fate thrown a fickle smile at him and then walked off with a new love. You'll recall that back in 1914 Outremo, then a new striping, turned back the veteran Jerry Travers and won the title. He was the first to give his and his sturdy voice gave every indication that more crowns were his. But he has never won the title since. Once in the 1915 finals, he faced Clock Evans in the final and fell only when Evans trusted the last 19 lates in 71. Then, this year, he worked his way up to the final, and he won the masterpiece of play Marston. Outnet's male weakness seems to be lack of endurance. He has the skill, the courage, and a stylish face. His direction became bad and he begins to lose stroke. Wisconsin Coach Ryan Jack Ryan, new coach at Wincanton, is pleased with the spirit of his playback, but unless no predictions convene, the Badgers will do in a ball game. Most of the players are experienced, but the team will take a lot of hand work to whip together a team that will compare favorably with the strong 182 agile Sporting Squibs Luis Pinto has the largest hands of any living athlete. . . .

The pirates can often unfitly kick a goal. Report in International league circles are that Beers江金 will not remain with the Jersey City club as his manager. One of the things that makes the tail-end baseball player even more lonely is the fact that the football season is open. Grover Cleveland Alexander, after a little hunting in Nebraska, will return Chicago and land in the life insurance business this winter. The Brooklyn club has another Johnson who can play the infield. His front knee is broken and he comes from St. Petersburg of the Florida State league. Urbane Faber of the Chicago White Sox Reserves Rees for his arm and on the result depends the rate of the veteran player for next year.

The school's annual fair was the educational exhibit of the Bastrop Colored High School, of which Prof. L. J. Leyen is principal. The display of domestic art work compared very favorably with the same type of work shown by the white cakes. The school's special points excelled those of the other schools.
