Metropolis Weekly Gazette

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE HODGES PARK Bro. Editor; —We wish to speak through the paper to the W. E. & M. Societies of the Mt. Olive Baptist District. The time is near approaching that each local auxiliary of the W. E. and M. are asked to send something for education. And this department should be remembered by the S S's, and B. Y. P. U's. Each auxiliary is requested to send something for this work. My dears, this problem is up to us and since we have lost the Livingston building we need to apply ourselves to labor and prayer and get together for the purpose of building up and laying plans in a systematic way to do something. Let us not lay dormant on this matter but be interested, wake up and stir as never before. It has been said that the Livingston School was a failure; but we know that there is opposition and competition in work of every kind, but let us not fight against ourselves and our best interest, for as a race we are successful, but let us work to continue successful. What do we care for discouragement? We have the perseverance to do things and the endurance to last, and that is what wins. We get our lessons for the future from the records of the past. We have succeeded and can succeed again. Let's send something to the convention in June for the educational treasury and 1910 FRANK O. LOWDEN Col. Frank O. Lowden, candidate for governor on the Republican ticket was in the city Tuesday and held a reception from 2-4 p.m. in the New Central Hotel, and many voters from all points of the County met him. They expressed themselves as being highly pleased with him, and from the large number of voters who met him it appears that he will receive a big vote here. Company M. of the 8th Regiment of Ill., the only Negro regiment in the U. S. with a full corps of Negro officeers from Col. down is in Springfield, awaiting orders to go the front in the defence of the valiant "fighting" Teeth Cavalry who was ambushed and slaughtered the 21st inst. History bears us out in the assertion that the Negro has always been the first to shed his b'ooc for his country's honor. Dignam tells us: "There are many risks in business. The wise man allows his competitors to take thorrs." MOTTO : "HEW TO THE LINE. LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY To The Voters of the Fifty-First Senatorial Distrist; M. HON. ORAL P. TUTTLE Having announced my candidacy for re-election to the Legislature, I deem it necessary that I make known my position on a few of the most important questions that are before the people of Illinois. This statement is not only necessary, but it is due to the people of Illinois from whom I am asking support and should be made in justice to my candidacy. Representative is my first and as a matter of fact has been a wonderful help to me in familiarizing myself with the workings of the Legislature. In fact, it has proven a school of education for me in many ways; In fact it has given me an insight to absorbing important questions that are sure to come up for final settlement during the next session. I naturally feel that should I meet with favor at your hands, and am successful in my canvass in this campaign, that I will be more able and better qualified to serve my constituency than I did before my first term. My record while at Springfield at your Representative is open for inspection to all. I did my best to serve my people as they would have me do, and that is a source of great satisfaction to me. Epecially have I been pleased with forable comment regarding my actions by many citizens who have me it a point to scrutinize my record. In my opinion the amendment to the State Constitution which provides for a change in our tax laws is the most important restion now before the people. There is pending in Illinois to be served on November 8, 1916, at the general election, an Amendment to the Revenue Article of the State Constitution, submitted to 49th Generul Assembly and designed to authorize future General Assemblies to revise our unworkable and unequal personal tax la Tax dodging in Illinois has become notorious. Largely as a res of this there is a general complaint of undue and increasing burdem real estate of double taxation; of inequality of tax burdens; of lexuate public revenues and of 'burdens falling upon the weak anche unwary while the shrewed and powerful escape.' Should tpeople uphold this proposed amendment and vote it next Novembit will then devolve upon the next legislature to vote an amendeto the State Constitution, changing our present taxation, and I art that amendment with all my force. Then, too, I am in favor of a Constitntional Convention the purpose of revising the State Constitution. This must ceasoner or later, and in my judgment the sooner this important mais settled the better it will be for the entire state. I am opposed to unnecessary commissions and boardl favor the abolishment of all such commissions. I am against threating of any commissions or boards not recommended by the (nor in his message to the Legislature. The good roads question is the most important of allside of the tax question in Illinois, and which meets with my heapproval, and my vote will always be cast for any measure that for its purpose the improving of our public highways. Espec in my individual district aae better roads needed, and as stateve, all steps in that direction will have my support. The primary laws, will in time, be changed, and should be. I am in favor of a law which will bring the presidentiate and county primary elections all inone day, thus saving theayer an exorbitant expense in holding elections, as the records such an increase. There are many questions of minor importance tha be before the next General Assembly, which, I need not meere, but my constituency can rest assured that my vote, should returned as your representative, will be to cast in favor of the of my district. As stated earlier in this letter, my first expens your servant at Springfield, gave me a knowledge that will be wonderfully beneficial to me should I be returned. The voters can not assured that I will be watchful of their best interest. I will perform my duty in the same careful way I did during my first term, tested and found not wanting. I am deeply grateful to every voter who favored me with his vote in my canvass two years ago. I ask the support of the voters this year, promising as a above stated a faithful performance of the duties imposed upon me. Any question that you may have to ask me will be quickly and cheerfully complied with. I will make an effort to meet you personally during the year, but should I be deprived of that pleasure through any cause, please remember that I want your support and that I will appreciate the same. HE HAS FALLEN ASLEFP. It we may be permitted space in your paper we wish to speak of the death of the late Eld. Henry Alison, pastor of the 2nd Baptist church Centralia. If there is a sin close akin to the unpardonable sin, it is that of ingratitude, by this we mean that we promised to, should we be the longest liver, assist in attending his funeral. However, we only read the scriptures and opened the way for the service. Elders Parrish, McWilliams and the writer were to be the chief speaker, but we felt that we ought to be charitable with the brethren that were present, viz; Elders, Dorsey H. C. Armstead, L. Thompson, W. P. Washington, E. Chavis of Washington, who read the obituary and a most timely communication from Eld. J. B. McCrary. The white Ministers turned out in a body and the pastor of the Baptist church spoke in behalf of the white churches and said among other things, that the late Rev. Allison was one of the best citizens that was ever in Centralia Eld. H. C. Armstead prayed a most fervent prayer also Elder Dorsey prayed a prayer that cannot soon be forgotten. Rev. McCrary said in his communication, "That whatever his faults may have been, his good deeds outweighed them. His enemies must confess, if hee had them regardless of his faults, which are but common to mankind that he fought a good fight and kept the faith. His life was in keeping with the text, which was preached by Dr. Parrish. We have heard him speak repeatedly of the service of Eld Parrish in Pulaski and Alexander Co, using his own words, "Phillips, we can say whatever we might about Parrish, but he has been a little hero. He could holler long and loud and he won the people too." Phillips I remember when there was not but one baptist church between Cobden and Cairo Parrish, gathered the people in the country while I gathered them in Cairo, and we organized the Churches through out Pulaski and Alexander Counties. And Phillips I am proud of you, you may not want to claim me but I am your daddy just the same I started you out, we have fought together and we have fought each other but I love you because you are a soldier that can be trusted. Of course my time is about out I am proud of the work of my hand. People'may say what they want to but I am not afraid to JUL. 5 1916 GAZW THEY MAY " 1016.

I will perform my duty during my first term, tested and found fateful to every voter who favored me years ago. I ask the support of the above stated a faithful performance. Any question that you may have heerfully complied with. I will make during the year, but should I be de- any cause, please remember that I will appreciate the same. Your servant, ORAL P. TUTTLE meet God. Yes he fought a good fight and died at the age of 73 years. He like a hero died at his post, we were informed that on Sunday night June 4th he had just about finished reading the scriptures for the opening of his sermon, when he sank back in his chair and began fumbling at his side as if he was feeling for his glasses, but when the fact was ascertained, it proved to be a stroke of paralysis but was conscious and was heard to say while being carried to his home, take me back to the church I have something to say that the people need to hear. The end came Monday evening. We received the sad news thru Rev. J. N. Washington, in the station at Carbondale. This good man deserves more than we are able to say for the 50 years he has given for the cause He served the Baptist Church in Cairo, 26 years, was Moderator of the Mt. Olive Association for 15 years, also Missionary, Trustee Livingston School in Metropolis, Member of Evangelistic Board of the National Baptist Convention. The Deacons and church spared no pains in doing what they could in arranging for the funeral and showed that they greatly deplored his death. Peace to his ashes SPARTA. We are glad to say that our church and S. S are moving along nicely. The school was reviewed by the teachers. At 11 o'clock Kev. P. B. French delivered a strong sermon from Matt. 15:27. At 8:20 p. m. our pastor preached another strong sermon from 1st Cor. 12:31. The sewing circle will meet this week under the direction of Mrs. D Browning. The Carnation club will meet at the home of Mrs. Ida Wallace. Mrs. Emma Davis, is very sick at this writing and her recovery is very doubtful. The child of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Penny is not much better at this writing. The 4th of July celebration will be under the auspices of the New Hope Baptist and Bethel A. M. E. churches. On this occasion dinner and refreshments of all kinds will be served on the grounds by the committees. J J Taylor. TEXAS BEND, MO.

You evidently don't object on principle, and there is nothing in the weather, and the ground {s dry enough.” The mother was not proud of her position. ‘She had to confess that she had no good reason for objecting, only a linger. ing memory of the time Lawrence had cut his toe some weeks ago. But he had gone barefoot several times since; there really was no objection.

Many People in This Strange City Never Saw the Light of Day In Galicia there is one of the most remarkable underground cities in the world. It has a population of over @ thousand men, women and children, most of whom have never seen the Night of day. It is known as the City of the Salt Mines, and is situated ‘several hundred feet below the earth’s surface. Its being is due to the greatest salt mine in the world, which, though it has been mined for many generations, seems in- exhaustible, The city bas its town hall, church, thegter, and assembly room, all made from the crystallized Tock salt. It has long. wide streets and big squares, lighted by electricity. ‘There are numerous instances of families in this underground city where not a single individual in three or four generations has seen the sun. gested the friend, “it's just a habit of denying children’s requests because so many of them are foolish and un reasonable?” The mother admitted that probably it was, Although we hate the idea of bull dozing the young children, we get the habit of saying “No” before consider. ing the merits of the request. Not. withstanding our chagrin on being nagged again and again into making concessions to our children, we get the habit of saying “No.” However much we may regret it the moment after, we obey that impulse and still say “No.” Again and again, in your intercourse with children, you will find it advis- able and necessary to say “No.” Well then, say it; and stick to it! The great problem 1s to say “No” nine times and then be still able to say “Yes,” if need be, the tenth time. In other words, we must avoid getting the habit of giving children any stereo- typed answer. Every request and every question must be met with the freshness of a new situation and treat- ed on its merits. Only thus can we expect to retain the children’s confi- dence in our judgment and in our reasonableness.

OSKISON. remote appl leet ca Forty-four girls recently completed @ course of training in an association supported by New York department stores. They are the pioneers of a new idea, In establishing this training school the store directors broke away from the old theory that since the store girl was not expected to stay permanently at work, but would get married, nothing beyond “welfare” work was fitting in her behalf. Under the new plan the girl is to make a serious study of department store employment. She is to find out what elements enter into the success of the particular department in which she works, She is to know costs and efficiency in handling goods she "is to be trained to Jook upon her job as one leading to promotion. From such a store experience, based on the new training, the girl who marries will go into the liome with the purpose to study its economic problems and make it a financial guecess, Chicken Broth. tetas Cia) Tomato Boun.

Winds blow not merely along the surface of the earth, but upward and downward throughout the atmosphere. They whirl about in all directions. So it is impossible to construct a weather chart that will really show the directions of the winds, for such a chart would have to be in three dimensions. Prof. Alexander McAdie of Harvard, in an article in the Geographical Review, describes some of the recent experiments in the upper air performed by sounding balloons. The atmosphere has, roughly, two layers, the lower called the troposphere and the upper the stratosphere. The strongest winds are found just below the stratosphere, and it would seem that pressure changes originate in this region. The stratosphere is highest over the equator and lowest over the poles, but its height varies with the seasons. "At the equator," says Professor McAdle, "as we rise in the air the temperature continues to fall to a much greater height than in temperate latitudes. Indeed, the lowest temperature is found above the equator." The Art of it. She—Jack, you make love like an amateur. He—That's where the art comes in. A Man's Worth depends upon his power to produce what the world recognizes as of value. And when you skirmish around you'll find that this power—which is just power of mind and body—depends to a remarkable degree on the food one eats. For highest accomplishment one must have the best values in food—food which builds well-balanced bodies and brains. Grape-Nuts FOOD has that kind of value.

"There's a Reason" AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Capt, Allen Wadsworth Washington, a graduate and for years assistant to Maj. R. R. Moton as commander of cadets, has been appointed to succeed Major Moton. After having been identified with the institute as student and officer for 31 years, Major Moton left Hampton, Va., for Tuskegee, Ala., where he was installed as principal on May 25. At the forty-eighth anniversary exercises, Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal, presented to the board of trustees a total of 159 candidates for diplomas and certificates. Of these, 69 young men received certificates from the various departments of the agricultural and trade schools, and 49 men and 43 women received diplomas from the academy school. Twelve of the men and all of the women also were candidates for state teachers' certificates. Several of the graduating class gave short accounts of their work. The National Home association, of which Alexander B. Trowbridge of New York is the president, held its second annual meeting at Hampton, all six of the constituent associations being represented. This organization insures the permanency of the annual trip to Hampton at this time for several years. Mr. Trowbridge was personally responsible for organizing these special parties. He and the other officers of the National association were re-elected. Trustees and visitors to the institute have commented most favorably on the tone of the annual report which Doctor Frissell has submitted to the board. It is said to be one of the most encouraging in some years. In the report Doctor Frissell reviews the work of the institution's most distinguished graduate, Doctor Washington, who labored for the economic emancipation of the Negro. Of the appointment of Major Moton to succeed Doctor Washington as head of Tuskegee school, Doctor Frissell says: "It was a matter of pride and congratulation to the friends of Hampton that the trustees of the Tuskegee school should have chosen. Washington's successor to the most important position which a Negro can occupy in this country, if, not in the world, a man whose entire school education was received in the same institution from which his predecessor was graduated." Major Moton's speeches made in the North are quoted for three things for which he is, especially thankful to Hampton: "It has helped his people to an appreciation of the dignity of the labor of the hands. It has helped whites and blacks to work together in harmony and mutual usefulness by offering a platform where they can come together for discussion of their difficulties. It has helped to create in the Negro respect for his own race." First steps toward the establishment of a Negro college in the city were taken at an educational rally of the Baptist convention (colored) at the city auditorium at Houston, Tex. A fund of $500 was raised at the rally, and it was expected that additional contributions at the various colored churches Sunday night would bring this up to $1,000. A number of speakers, including Mayor Ben Campbell, P. W. Horn, superintendent of schools, and Dr. J. L. Gross, pastor of the First Baptist church, appeared on the program for the rally at the auditorium and ex Attention has been called to the fact that congress, while increasing the army, is not providing for a single additional Negro regiment. Further, it is said the war department holds it cannot designate such a regiment without congressional authority. This is calculated to make Brigadier General Andrew Sheridan Burt, so long colonel of the Twenty-fifth infantry; Gen. Guy V. Henry, colonel of the famous Ninth Cavalry; Lieut. Gen. Henry C. Corbin, Col. Aaron Daggett, and other noted soldiers who have commanded "the colored troops who fought nobly," turn over in their graves. Take them by and large, no commands ever assembled under the United States flag have better records than the Negro regiments, the Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth and Twenty-fifth infantry. For loyalty, discipline, bravery, soldierly pride and fighting ability they are unexcelled. Congress has not covered itself with glory in this important army business. Here is a matter where it can in Cigarettes that are lighted by rubbing them on the side of a box like safety matches have been invented in England. Excluding private plants, it has been estimated that electric railway, lighting and power plants in this country have absorbed a total of about 50,000 tons of copper. METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL. plained the necessity for the establishing of an institution of higher education for the Negroes in Houston. E. H. Branch presided at the meeting. "If progress is to be made by the colored race," said Mayor Campbell in the course of his address, "they must begin with the schools. Money spent on the public schools will come back to the donors with compound interest. You can be sure that you can use neither your time nor your money to better advantage than in educating your children, and the city of Houston will be glad to assist you in the undertaking in any way possible." More than 500 women bearing a petition several hundred feet long and containing over 5,000 names invaded the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church at Philadelphia. The demonstration was under the auspices of the Women's Parent Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, president, and the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary society, Mrs. S. G. Simmons, president, and the object was to memorialize the general conference to allow the women to send their money direct to the mission fields instead of sending it to the missionary board for distribution. They charge that on account of the present plan of procedure there is a falling off in their receipts and they wish to avoid this by sending the money direct. The matter was referred to a special committee. Here is an estimate of vessels withdrawn from this country's commerce since the beginning of the European war: German and Austrian ships interned throughout the world, 3,024 ships, 6,633,000 tons; British ships requisitioned, 2,300 ships, tonnage not known; Russian ships requisitioned, number unknown, but about 900,000 tons. No reliable figures can be gained about the French and Italian ships taken for war use, but the number is known to be large. Perhaps the total number of ships lost to trade is 7,000. No reliable figures added the vast number that has been sent to the bottom since the war began, about which no figures are obtainable now. An organization has been formed and plans are being perfected by some of the most prominent cooled physicists of Norfolk, Va., and their white friends to build in the Virginia hills near Washington an extensive tuberculosis hospital when poor patients may receive treatment without pay.

Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease. If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased. You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be despondent and irritable. Don't delay starting treatment. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physician's prescription, obtained at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions.

It is with considerable hesitation that I announce my candidacy for the nomination to the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court and Recorders.

Yet so many of my friends bavo spoken hopefully for me, that I am also led to hope that the people will forgive again even though it was seventy times seven they have done so. It is not exactly the appropriat thing for a man to refer to the weakness he has had. and I only do so now because I know that every body will think about them and, may express doubt as to my ability to stand firmly. Some people will probably hesitate to vote for me for fear I will disappoint them. I can only say to such friends that I am on a solid foundation, and, knowing that I can stay there. Of course to other people than myself it will take time to tell, and, until then I should like very much to be trusted. If the people again extend their confidence. I can assure them that it will not be abused.. I will be right on the job all the time; ready to give prompt and efficient attention to everybody having business with the office.

OUR HEROES AT CARRIZAL While our indignation grows as the facts accumulate to prove that American soldiers were treacherously attacked from ambush at Carrizal, and we are filled with sorrow at the fate of Capt. Boyd and his brave men, there is admiration at their conduct. They added new luster to the reputation of American troops. It was an unequal struggle. The Americans were not only outnumbered, but they suffered from a rain of bullets from a machine gun, safely operated from a trench 250 yards away. They chose the only course in keeping with the traditions of as brave soldiers "as ever rode to battle on its burning billows." Led by their gallant captain already seriously wounded in the shoulder, they set out to capture the machine gun. Capt. Boyd fell dead, with a bullet through his eye, as the trench was reached and the machine gun was seized. The force of mexicans fled to a new shelter, in an adobe near by. But there is no surprise over the way Capt. Boyd and his soldiers sold their lines. The surprise would have followed their adopting any less heroic course. The American troopers were Negroes, members of the Tenth Calvary. It is a regiment with a history resplendent with deeds of daring. The first brush in the bandit hunt, in which there was the same disparity of numbers against the Americans, although the fighting conditions were more nearly equal, was participated in by members of the Tenth, under command of Col. Dodd. On that occasion they entered battle after riding for thirty six hours under disagreeable conditions. They dispersed the enemy and kept in hot pursuit for hours. It was a great exhibition of physical courage and endurance. But the fight at Carizal was a greater moral demonstration. There was but remote chance of victory. The Negro troopers spilled their blood like water knowing that death was certain. But they had the traditions of the service, the glory of America and the unsuilled reputation of "the fighting Tenth" to maintain. Dr. Geo. A. Stewart Announces for Coroner.

Pressed glass was invented by an amble carpenter of Sandwich, Mass., but in the primitive state of affairs it profited him little. More than 200 years ago a Boehmian glass-maker conceived the idea of making cut glass. This idea was destined to revolutionize the entire glass industry of the world. The inventor began by making the walls of the article on which he was working thicker than he was wont so that he might cut the glass with a sharp knife into figure so he chose. MOUND CITY. Dear Sir and Brother, allow me space in your paper to say that I had a letter from Rev. Hillie stating that the Association could not meet at the 17th St. Baptist church at Murphysboro as they were not able to entertain the Association; therefore I shall have to change the place of meeting and will let you know later where it will meet. As the Association authorized me to change the date of the meeting of the Association so as to keep it from conflicting with the National Baptist Convention. Therefore I set Oct. 17th for the setting of the Mt. Olive Baptist Association. This will give all the Bros. a chance to go to the National Baptist Convention; if any Bro. in the district has any objection to this change let me know through the columns of this paper. Please give all the churches notice of the change. Yours in Christ. NOTICE Dear Sisters: the time is fast approaching for the State Association that was organized at Centralia last year and the president is asking all local societies in the churches of each District to represent at this meeting and we hope to have a good representation from the Mt. Olive district. I have not heard from our missionary and dont know whether she has been able to visit any of the churches or not, but my dears we should not let our banner trail in the dust. We should hold up the standard of the Baptist every where. I am settled at home for awhile, but I am going to work in this part of the field, as the work is somewhat dull at present, but we have a lively set of B. Y. P. U. workers. They are doing real good work and I hope to be able to say the same of the W. E. & M. Society Remember the State work is calling for you in May and will convene with the Sparta Church. The fee for the District is $5.00 and local $2.50. The women will meet on Friday and I hope that each president will send me their address so they can receive their letter blanks. I also have constitutions on hand; any local desiring them may write me. I also ask that each local put out small bags and let each member solicit $1.00 for the Educational Cause. Remember we should work while we live. We have lost a Christian Man and the Pres. of the Livingston Normal, in the person of the late Rev. J. H. Knowles, so let us close up the Rank and press forward. Yours for Christ, M. J. Blake, President. Rev. C. W. Norment, members of the Rock Hill Baptist church and citizens of Carbon-dale, are to be highly complimented for the very excellent way they cared for the convention, and they did set the price at one dollar a day or for the session. They valued, the cause higher than they do "filthy lucre."
