METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE 10 RALPH PROCTOR Ralph Proctor, of McLeansboro, candidate for member of the State Board of Equalization was born on a farm in Hamilton county, and has risen thru adverse circumstances to a place of prominence in the councils of his party. His strenuous fight for success in life proves him worthy of his gallant ancestry. His father gave the best of his life in defence of his country during the civil war and his grand-father fought thru the revolutionary war that we might enjoy our present degree of independence. Mr. Proctor has been a life long Republican and has for years given freely of his time and means for the promotion of the success of the Republican party. During previous campaigns he has unselfishly fought for the election of his opponent th office with out compensation or promise of perferment. His many friends throughout the district believe that the party should honor these years uninterrupted service by nominating him him for member of the State Board of Equalization. Mr Paoctor is an old Rebublican, but a new candidate. His personal popularity and admirable mixing qualities make him by far the strongest candidate that can be nominated for that office. THE VOTER WILL DEMAND EFFICIENCY as a qualification for ATTORNEY GENERAL A VOTE FOR RICHARD J. BARR OF JOLIET Republican Student, Lawyer, Legislator, Executive, by actual experience, is a vote in the interest of economy and efficiency in state Government. BARR depends on the people for his nomination. Primary Sept. 13. HON. SAM W. LATHAM Candidate for Nomination for Lieut. Governor. Senator Latham lives at Eldorato, Saline County Ill., a large Republican county. Southern Ill., is entitled to the second place on the Republican ticket for a state office and the Senator is the man for the place. He is able and his stand for the Republican principles entities him to the votes of the party. He is a real american. Best oall, he is a cluan man, honest and a man of the people. He stands for prosperity making policies and the full protection of every american citizen and interest for social justice and for the Republican national platform in full. He is not an orator, but he is a man of masterful force. He knows how to accomplish things. He is a successful Physician, but has studied law. He made his own success, and therefore knows how success is made. No man has ever accused him of unfair or illegitimate business principles. He is a friend of the common people and has a warm spot in his heart for the colored people because of their fairness to him and their struggles to over-throw their environments which have been potent factors to hold them down. He was elected two years ago by a good majority on the Republican ticket for State Senator from the 55st Senatorial district. Let us nominate him for our next Lieut. Governor. Elwood Barker, of Hamilton county, for re-election as a member of the Legislature from 51st Dist., made a good showing and should be re-nominated. Lou L. Emmerson will be nominated for Secretary of state by a large majority. He is a thorough business man, and a friend to all classes of citizens and always has a listening ear to the cries of the distress. The negro can safely ote for Mr. Emmerson. It is given up by all that Oral P. Tuttle will be renominated by a big majority. Senator Sam W. Latham who is a candidate for Lieutenant Governor, is growing in favor and popularity with the voters.

Public officials must use the power of their office vigorously to defend and contend for the preservation and enforcement of wise laws. "The office of Attorney General is one of the most important within the gift of the people of the State of Illinois. I would manage and conduct it in accordance with the constitution, statutes and decisions of the courts for the best interest of the people of the State, if elected." Mr. Provine has served five terms in the legislature. He was the Republican caucus nominee for speaker at the last session, but was defeated because he refused to enter into a bi-partisan combine.

Provine of Talorville, candidate for the Republican nomination or Attorney General, declared today. "I believe in the Republican party, its wonderful record of achievements, its ability to solve questions of governmental policy and its future success," he said. "I believe in honest and efficient service by public officials, that in order to render this effective they must be ready at all times to withstand any onslaught that may be made by a bi-partisan combination of these elements in both parties that continually oppose and strive to nullify and East St. Louis Tribune: "From Cairo to Galena the universal expression of informed Republicans is that Lou Emmerson will have a large majority in the September primary, and it will be no surprise to see him carry 95% of the counties of the state." Dixon Telegraph, Lee county: "When the state Republican ticket is selected you will find that Louis L. Emmerson of Mt. Vernon is one of the strongest men on the ticket." Times-Record, Aledo, Mercer county: "L. L. Emmerson is one of the finest and most capable Republicans in Illinois. His friends may well claim for him a clean private and public life and can frankly go on record in announcing that he will make an ideal Secretary of State." The Illinois Trademan of Springfield, the Labor World of Decatur, the Labor Advocate of Quincy, the Labor News of Rockford, and other labor papers and journals pronounce Mr. Emmerson "fair" to organized labor, and are supporting his candidacy for Secretary of State. 1827 A record of unswerving loyalty to the interests of the tax payers is behind ANDREW RUSSEL CANDIDATE FOR AUDITOR ON THE REPUBLICAN:TICKET PRIMARY ELECTION WEDNESDAY SEPTEMBER 13 Mt. Vernon Daily Register: Louis L. Emmerson, candidate for the nomination for Secretary of State on the Republican ticket at the primaries to be held in 1916, was born at Albion, Edwards County, Illinois, December 27, 1883. He obtained a high school education and grew to manhood there, removing to Mt. Vernon, Ill., in 1887, where he engaged in the mercantile business continuously until 1901, when he organized the Third National bank of Mt. Vernon, of which he is now and has been for some time president. He is a member of a number of orders, among them being Knights of Pythias, Redmen, Woodmen, Elks, Loyal Order of Moose, and Mascinic, in which last order he has received the thirty-third and highest degree. DONALD J. HARRIS Manhood Alone Is What Counts By J. G. HOLLAND. Labor, calling, profession, scholarship and artificial and arbitrary distinctions of all sorts, are incidents and accidents of life and pass away. It is only manhood that remains, and it is only by manhood that man is to be measured. When this proposition shall be comprehended and accepted, it will become easy to see that there is no such thing as menial work in this world. No work that God sets a man to do—no work to which God has specially adapted a man's powers—can properly be called either menial or mean. The man who blacks your boots and blacks them well, and who engages in that variety of labor because he can do it better than he can do anything else, may have, if he choose, just as sound and true a manhood as you have, not only after he gets through the work of his life, but now, with your boots in one hand and your shilling in the other. There is very much dirtier work done in politics and sometimes in the professions, than that of blacking boots; work, too, which destroys manhood, or renders its acquisition impossible. "The aeroplane in its developed state would decide many of the problems we confront today, provided the plane were fitted to living conditions and commercial requirements," says a writer. "The war has perfected the aeroplane in this short time to a greater degree than the motor car was developed in any ten years of its growth. "Several years were taken to prove to the public that the motor car would run at all without a horse in waiting. Years were taken to educate the public to two cylinders as against the single, or to four as against the two. Years more were spent in educating the buying public and developing the six, and now we are preaching eight and twelve. It has taken years to develop the light-weight idea in motor cars. The public has held back the development of the motor car." "The aeroplane, in contrast, has been developed by governments under war conditions. Motors of today for aeroplanes are of twice the horsepower of those used a year ago, while planes have been built up to 1,000 horsepower in five motor units. These machines land at under 30 miles per hour and travel well over a hundred in the air." Amsterdam has been given the first cremation in the Netherlands.

A tiny pocket on the side of a pair of silk stockings provides a place for carrying the handkerchief while dancing. This pocket is just a nice height above the ankle and on the outer side of the right stocking. Opal spangles ornament some stockings; others are decorated with beads or rhinestones, and for every variety we have the hand-painted stockings with stalks of blooming plants forming the "clocks" and gay butterflies fluttering over the instep. Imagine the truly poetic effect of three lace butterflies (with wings upraised so that they flutter bewitchingly) on the front of her stockings, one above the other, from instep to shootet height! Of course, these are to be worn only with dancing slippers, or similar ones equally low. All Around the World. 一 What Women Are Doing. The Mystery Explained.

"Oh," answered the farmer's wife, who was evidently wiser than her home-grown complexion would seem to indicate, "he's back of the barn burying a tramp the dog chewed up this morning. Wait a second and I will call him." But by the time she reached the door the unwashed hobo was headed down the pike, beating it at an aeroplane gait. Deserves It.

PERILS OF NATURE Commissioner of Health of Pennsylvania. Our streams, once undefiled, by man, ran from the mountains to the sea in all of nature's purity.

Today it is not so. In that with which nature has endowed much of our territory more richly than many other countries, we now find lurking poison so hidden that in some cases it is to be seen only by the aid of the microscope. In the season when we travel through the country to be happy and lay up energy and strength for the toil of the coming winter, the want of intelligence and care makes us deaf to the teaching of preventive medicine, and we quench our thirst at the stream we run across, regardless of its purity, and often the sparkling tumbler of water is only to be compared with the draught of the dently hemlock.

SUNDAY GREATER PLAYER THAN COBB, SAYS VETERAN Evangelist Could Run Bases and Field Better Than Tay, Declares Eagle-Eye Jake Beckley. There's at least one ball-playing person who refuses to make it unanimous about Ty Cobb being the greatest ball player of all time. And that's old Eagle-Eye Jake Beckley, who played the game nearly as long as Nap Lajote and is now an umpire, living in Kansas City. A quarter century ago old Eagle-Eye was in his prime, one of the hardest hitting first sackers the game ever knew. "You can have your Ty Cobbs and your Benny Kauffs," Jake Beckley says; "I'll take Billy Sunday for my ball club right now, and I said the same thing back in ninety. "He's fifty-two years old today, but he's running bases and sliding every day in that pulpit just as he did back UNIVERNATIONAL MUSIC SOCIETY Billy Sunday. in the old days. If he'd stayed in the game Cobb never would have been famous. "He was greater than Ty Cobb ever dared to be in three departments of the game. "Everybody thinks Cobb can run bases.

"And throw—say, he could throw strikes from center field just as easily as Tris Speaker. "Batting was where Sunday was weak. But in another year or so he would have overcome that weakness. He was just that kind. "He had more fight in his heart than any man I ever saw." Nettle Weed Supplants Cotton. In their quest for material which can be used as a substitute for cotton, German scientists have discovered that the troublesome nettle weed contains a long fiber which can be woven into a durable cloth. The difficulty to overcome was to separate it from the woody splinters which scratch and irritate the skin. An anmonia process was first used, but this was expensive. An inventor named Richter has now devised a water process by which the irritating particles are separated from the fiber, and considerable quantities of the nettle cloth have already been woven. It is nearly water proof, absorbs dye readily and is a coarse, strong cloth suitable for many purposes. the day of judgment too often comes, bringing the development of typhoid fever which in years past we could only compare with some of the plagues that ravaged our ancient cities. Those of us who collect, tabulate and have ever before us the statistics that show the suffering and sorrow that still continue from typhoid fever, beg you to awaken to that which causes so much distress. By proper care it can be avoided. Never drink out of an unknown surface stream. When traveling see that pure water is carried along, as well as food, otherwise the harvest of sickness and death will follow. Boys Weaker Than Girls. In view of the number of men killed by the war, the result of a study now being made by an English physician is rather pessimistic as regards the future masculine supremacy of the race. For a period covering nearly five years his study indicates that the mortality of boys under a year of age has been from 123 to 125, as compared with 100 for girl babies. Nothwithstanding the fact that at birth boys have the advantage of four to five ounces of weight over the average girl baby, they have less resistant power and are therefore less able to throw off disease. The reports upon babies born since the war are incomplete, but they indicate that while the number of boys born is considerably in excess of the girl, the number who survive their first year is so much less that there is no hope of the men of the next generation equaling the number of women. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS --- Mr. Rawley, now a business man of Washington, D. C., is one of those true born southern gentlemen who go out of the way to befriend the colored folk their families once owned and lived off—and not in a patronizing, indifferent way, but at the sacrifice of considerable trouble, thought, business energy and valuable time. Mr. Rawley recently made a midsummer journey to Boston for the Sister Industrial and Normal School for Colored People at the Rawley's native place, Winston-Salem, N. C. It seems there are a set of enlightened business men and bankers in Winston-Salem who have got together and planted, altogether, their capital to the amount of $05,000 in a school which they consider next in importance to Tuskegee and Hampton. The effects have been so immediate and so permanent at once, that these gentlemen see nothing of so much vital concern to the development of the South as the educating and raising in moral worth of their black fellow citizens. Mr. Rawley, for instance (he says his ancestors changed from Raleigh to Rawley to avoid the charge of sinful pride in their aristocratic lineage), is one of those southerners (like the late imputed President Mitchell of the Richmond college), who no longer permit themselves to say "niggers" but compromise on a curious French-like word which sounds like "Negres," or "Nigras." He speaks with positive enthusiasm of the Tenth cavalry troopers, and points to the fact that in every national crisis colored men have been the first to shed their blood and have never raised a hand against the flag. This sort of sentiment is more and more representative of "the better classes—the ex-shave-owning families of the South and the new business life, such as Messrs, Rawley of Winston-Salem and Mr. William A. Blair, vicepresident and cashier of the Peoples National bank of Winston-Salem represent. The immediate matter in hand is the raising of $12,000, which will secure an equal amount from the Old North State's treasury for this splendid colored training school. Mr. Rawley's visit to Boston on this business proved to be ill-timed, on account of the vacation season. But if readers of this paragraph wish to keep in coattence this nobly representative North Carolina, whose state bonus that it has not been disgraced by a lynching in 20 years past, they may send their ten-dollar checks to Cashier Blair at his Winston-Salem bank. It really seems as though one of the far-reaching unlooked-for results of the great war is going to be to better immensely the economic position of the great colored element of this republic. The cessation of immigration and the unsatisfied demands for labor of all kinds, is resulting in a new and important extension of their opportunities, into which the technical training of such schools as Hampden and Tuskegee and the Sister Industrial and State Normal school of North Carolina, exactly fit. The movement in this state and city fathered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is progressing by leaps and bounds; petitions to large employers of help from their customers have assured them that they would like to see colored help in department stores and offices. Large industries like our Walworth Manufacturing company, and the paper mills of Acton, have been putting on colored labor in their yards. Every conquest of gold prejudices like this makes the next Telling of her experiences in establishing her school for Negroes at Daytona, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune writes as follows: "The next thing I turned my mind to was the idle, picturesque boy found on the roadways and atop fences with lack-knife and stick. "I spoke to the boys and asked them whether they would like to be my little brothers. I asked them to be my little chapel connected with the school, where I was going to have a party for them. They came, and I served lemonade, peanuts and ginger snaps. I talked to them. I showed them how the white boys were growing up to be fine men, who were the strength of the nation. I showed them how they, too, could become an honor to the country. Before they went we had organized a club, and as they were leaving I asked them how many were coming the following week with clean shoes, washed faces, straight ties and brushed hair. They all came the next week, as fine a lot of boys as you could wish to see. "Boys.' I said, 'you are a part of this country. This school needs a flag, a flag of our country. Let us put our Yesterday we saw a fair girl release a common yellow butterfly from the tangle of a spider's web. We suddenly get the madness of Verdun, and Donumont, and Dead Man's hill.

Before the fight at Carrizal, Americans had often heard of the Tenth United States cavalry. To such of us, as from inclination or employment, keep in touch with the present by remembering the past which made it, when the word came from the border that a detachment of the Tenth cavalry had made a glorious fight against a sudden and unexpected attack by a much superior force, the thought came at once, "the Tenth! Why, that is the same regiment that distinguished itself at Las Gusasinas, and El Caney, and on the heights of San Juan." Because the American mind is too prone to exalt the volunteer forces—the citizen soldiers—above the professional fighting men in the regular ranks, and to give to a patriotic outburst a place above what it calls "a standing army," the popular imagination seized upon the brilliant exploits of our volunteers in Cuba—notably the Rough Riders—as better representing the national spirit. But in the Army Reports, that place where justice is done all men who go out to battle for their country, the truth about the Tenth in the Spanish war is embalmed. MaJ. Frank Keck, who has seen much service, told the story somewhat in detail in the Sunday Globe-Democrat. It is the most interesting story, because it goes far back of the Spanish war to find the origins of that morale and discipline, and that self-sacrificing courage, which made the Tenth United States cavalry what it was in Cuba, later in the Philippines, and what it is now in Mexico. Linking the present with a long past, far-flung over many fields, Major Keck has shown us how the regular soldier of the United States army can be developed into, or, rather, will develop himself into, a fighting unit not to be superseded in war. Much of the story is in the history of the Indian wars which for years followed the close of the war between the states; when the most warlike tribes, under the leadership of such great chiefs as Sitting Bull, Red Cloud, Cochise and Geronimo, waged strong warfare against the paleface then beginning a great invasion of the buffalo lands. It was a war of swooping attacks, sudden forays, long and hard rides, sleepless and waterless days and nights, with now and then such a pitched battle as at the Rosebud. A war for cavalrymen—and the Fighting Tenth was in it and of it all. For that gallant regiment was organized the year following the close of the Civil war, made up of colored troops who had fought in the federal army. Those who were in it are not in it now. They have died the death swift or slow, or fallen out of the ranks as outworn troopers. But the regiment has remained, always made up of colored men, officered by West Pointers and white noncoms, and always to be found where glory leads the way. At every point of action the Tenth has been seen, and always to advantage. Other regular army regiments have made glorious records. It's a way the United States regulars, of all colors, have. But these, our brothers in black, have won a special meed of praise. penalties together and buy a flag.' Seven dollars was raised and the flag was bought. When the boys went, I asked them whether they were my friends. 'Can I count on you for help when I am in trouble?' 'Yes, Mrs. Bethune,' they said, 'if we can't walk, we'll roll to you.' Those boys have grown into fine young Americans. We have ninety-two of them enrolled in the club. Twenty of them have bank accounts. Several of them own lots, which they are paying for on the installment plan. Negroes conduct the municipal affairs of Hobson City, Ala., comprising as they do the population of the place.

"Come here, Tommy!" she commanded her young son. "I am going to punish you, but open the windows first!" "What for?" said Tommy, beginning to weep.

"But you have said that before," expostulated her mistress, "and there it's ended." "I'm sure I've done my best, ma'm," said Jane; "it isn't easy. But I'll try and settle him on my next-Thursday out." Her next Thursday out came and went. Her follower also came and went (with Jane), and Jane eventually returned in a radiant mood. "I've settled him this time, ma'm!" she exclaimed breathlessly. Her mistress was delighted. But in the hour of victory one should be generous to the fallen foes, so she expressed hope that Jane had not been too hard on the young man. "Hard on him!" cried Jane. "No ma'am, that I wasn't.

Hall's catarrh is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work.

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 Sept. 19, 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 column of this paper. Please give all the churches notice of the change. Yours in Christ, Rev. D. Parrish, Moderator LOWDEN GOVERNOR; SLOGAN OF VOTERS GEORGE E. KEYS OF SPRINGFIELD Candidate for the Republican Nomination STATE TREASURER Primary September 13, 1916 Pledges Efficient Service to People and Works for Party Success. Frank O. Lowden, measuring four-square, is pre-eminently the man for governor of Illinois. That the Republican voters of the state realize this and are giving him a support that will insure his nomination in the primary 1930 FRANK O. LOWDEN. Wednesday, September 13, is daily evidenced by the reports from every section. No Abuse or False issues. He has not indulged in personal abuse nor raised false issues. He has not attempted to bellittle, malign or be smirch any other Republican candidate and he will not do so. Col. Lowden takes the position he would rather be defeated at the Republican primary than resort to methods that will jeopardize the success of the Republican party in Illinois at the November election. Working for Party Harmony. Col. Lowden is devoting himself to a discussion and advocacy of Republican policies, national and state. He is pursuing a course which means party harmony and party success. Republicans in every part of the state are commending him and newspapers. C. J. C. GEORGE OF SPR Candidate for the R STATE TR Primary Septen The program committee of the Mt Olive Baptist association is requested to arrange the program at once for the association which convenes at Colp, Ill., Tuesday before the 4th Sunday in Sept. Send letter blanks to all of the churches at once so the clerks will have time to make out their letters. There will be no charge for board. Elder D. Parrish, D. D. Moderator --- outside the city of Chicago, are almost universally endorsing him. No Factional Control "I am not and will not be the candidate of any faction, and I will take no part in any factional contests," says Col. Lowden, "either in Cook county or in any other county. I will not be a party to any slate ticket. As a candidate I shall make no promises, either express or implied, and shall have no alliances, either direct or remote, which will embarrass the free exercise of my best judgment in discharging the duties of governor should I be nominated and elected." High Government Ideals. Let the voters of Illinois ask themselves if a more direct or explicit statement could be made in the cause of good government? Every charge of factionalism is without basis, made not with intent to state a truth, but for the sole purpose of misleading the voters of the state in an effort to have prejudice rather than fact direct the casting of their votes. Man of Broad Experience. In Col. Lowden the Republicans of Illinois not only have an experienced business man, a lawyer of force and wise counsel, one selected because of his manifest qualification to fill the chair of Federal Jurisprudence in Northwestern Law School, but also a farmer, not in theory, but versed in the practical problems of the farmer and stock breeder. Represents All Classes. Not only have the small merchants of the country, cities and villages, the tollers and workers of the state, opportunity in supporting Col. Lowden to secure an active champion and one who by reason of his residence in the country understands the problems which beset them as distinguished from those of the big cities, but the farmers of Illinois have opportunity of making governor a man who knows the problems of the farmer, not as a theory, but from 15 years of active work in the development of farming, dairying and live stock breeding along approved practical lines. He Is Practical Man. Farmers of this state who have been privileged to hear Col. Lowden speak at gatherings where the needs of agriculture and modern farming have been considered, attest the statement that he proves himself a practical man—a surprise to those who are not intimately acquainted with Col. Lowden's activities in agriculture. As one farmer said, who heard him address a meeting of farmers: "He talks our language; he knows our business." Where, we ask the voter in every line of work, can you find a man better equipped than Col. Lowden to serve you? From every standpoint it is clear he is the man to vote for and to be the Republican nominee for governor. REPUBLICAN HISTORY I was in charge of the office of United States Senator Lawrence Y.

A Man Who Has Helped Many Republicans to Success Now Seeks Nomination for Congressman-at-Large-A Successful Lawyer and Noted Speaker. Stephen H. Cummina, candidate for Congressman-at-Large, is Illinois' latest offering, and those who know Mr. Cummina are certain of his qualifications. [Name] Mr. Cummins was a candidate two years ago, but was defeated by a narrow margin, his total of votes surprised the "old line politicians." His ability as a campaign orator has helped the Republican party to success in many campaigns and was one of the staunch supporters of Senator Sherman. When the clouds began to gather he did not desert the Republican party, but stood firm and voted for President Taft. On account of his loyalty to the party he deserves the staunch support of every true Republican. Mr. Cummins has attracted the attention of the country is an Author in his book entitled "Lincoln, the Lawyer," which has brought him into prominence both in state and nation, A son of a Mexican soldier, he is a self-made man, has been in turn a farmer's boy, country school teacher, newspaper reporter, cashier, of a bank assistant Attorney General, a successlawyer and a loyal republican from boyhood. He has been intimately acquainted with every Governor and United States Senator since the days of John A. Logan, who by the way complimented Mr. Cummins for his part in the election of General Logan to the United States Senate in his memorable contest in 1885. Endorse full suffrage for women, and favors the Budget System of Appropriations, the obolition of the "Pork Barrel," a Protective Tariff, Preparedness and the "Rural System of Credits" to aid the farmers. His wide acquaintance and experience with public men and questions will make him an influential member of Congress. Mr. Cummina owns and operates two farms in Sangamon county and takes pride in his knowledge of the farmers' problems.
