The entire staff of Gazette, and the many readers, are pleased beyond expression of the good news heralded thru-out the length and breadth of Illinois, of the safe return from across the seas after 20 months of active service in the Y. M.C.A work, of our friend and brother, Dr B N, Murrell, a graduate of the Illinois University, Champaign. Rev. Murrell, was reared in Southern, Ill., at Vienna, and at one time the editor of the Gazette was his pastor. Southern Illinois would welcome a visit by him as we would be glad to do him honor. He has a standing invitation to visit Metropolis and Brookport, at any time. Dr. Murrell, is a man of recognized ability and stands high in the counsels of the Baptist denomination. When he retires to private life we hope he will decide to confine his work to Illinois. We hope some good church will throw open its doors to him as he is a man of sterling worth to the race and denomination, as a pastor, he has but few equals anywhere, as he knows how to grasp the situation and mould sentiment among all classes and condition of men. He for a number of years was the most successful pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist church, Peoria, Illinois, and resigned to take charge of a church at St. Paul, Minn., where he was pastoring when he resigned to enter into the war Y. M. C. A. work. He has a most excellent and educated woman for a wife who ably assists him in his ministerial duties.

Leavell, editor and publisher, Sheperd Street Baptist church, and parsonage damaged to the amount of $1,502.00. The Voice is one of the largest Negro journals published in that tate with its own office and machinery. The church was a large frame building with a seating capacity of 400, and we are sure they will erect a modern brick building in the future.

Now --- --- Executive's Plea for Repeal of War Emergency Legislation Is Rejected by Representatives by Vote of 176 to 55, Which Is 22 Over Necessary Two-Thirds. WASHINGTON, October 27. The House tonight passed the prohibition enforcement bill over the President's veto within less than three hours after he had notified Congress that he could not sign the measure because of the war-time enforcement section. The vote on over-riding the executive veto was 176 to 55, which 22 votes more than the necessary two thirds. Rev J. B. McCrary. Moderator of the Mt. Olive Association. I desire to drop this article in your worthy paper if you can find space for me. I would be glad to say that the Treasure has made a few statements that brings me to answer, not as I care to answer him, but to clear myself about Dr. H. C. Swain, of Mounds. I am sure the ruiling of the body when they were present turned over to me power to write and find out Bro. Swain's reputation as near as we could and I am enclosing the letter from Bro. Woodson, Mod. of the association he belonged to and I have a letter from his church he last pastored, but it seems as though Rev. Norment, wants to brand me and you know it is only the messenger out of order and a question of time to the Board, and yet if the majority rules the pastor and church is compelled to be right, he said the delegate was out of order well if he was then in a brotherly way tell me: why does this make the church wrong. Rev. Davis, I noticed said as I had to make out the Statistical table I would aim to put the church over. Now I have made them out and never tried to do any such a thing for $3,00. I don't want it at all and neither the position. I didn't ask for it and I surely don't want it to make to myself slander. I don't stand for that. Now Dr. McCrary this is not to you, but you may put this in the letter I send too. Please note this, not angry at all but I am only speaking the truth. If I have to be accused of anything wrong in this, you, the Board can erase my name as Corr. Sec'y. The editor and his staff, were royally entertained, Tuesday night of last week at the residence of Mr. and Mrs G. W. Long, Cor., 10th & Johnson, Sts., by Miss Daisy Long, and Mr. Alfred Murray, whose time was to the entertain Nehemiah's Band an organization of the 1st Baptist church. A large number of members were present and several invited guests who declared this to have been a swell affair. Miss Daisy entertained after refreshments with mus- BULLETIN From Dr. J. H. Dennis. Royally Entertained Tuesday night, Oct. 28th, we were invited to the home of Mme. Nollie Gordon Parks, by Prof. W. A. Singleton, and Mrs. Mabel Shannon, who entertained the club and a number of invited guests. The only representative of this office was Dr. J. B McCrary, as the other members had a more binding engagement at the home of Rev. Edgar McCrary, on 9th, St., at the celebration and entertaining a young man who was brought there by a member of the Stork family. The youngster says he is here to be a partner of Joseph Edgar, and he play shop "devil" in grand-pa's office, of which we welcome him. But the prices of provisions are very high to take on another boarder, but he says he is here to stay and what are we to do but to give him a hearty welcome, and too Joseph Edgar says, "Grandpa, grandpa, I've a brother to stay with me." Well, back to the subject, much business was transacted by the club, and then some short addresses were made by the writer, Rev. G. W Rowlett, V. E Shannon, Mrs. Myrtle Thomas, of St. Louis, Mo., and the president James Townley. The following were invited: Mr. and Mrs. Larry Rodgers, Misses Mae and Anna Roberts, Miss Hayes, Mrs. Mary Dotson, of Brookport, Mrs. Myrtle Hughes Thomas, Mrs. Georgia Hughes and J. B. McCrary. The guests were invited out into the dining room by the hostess, passing a bowl of punch, where they were invited to take a sip in friendship to the club. The dining hall and table were beautifully decorated with cut flowers and Hallowe'en decorations. After a delightful repast all returned from whence they came, and Mrs. Lavada Rodgers entertained for some time with music on the piano. Miss Anna Roberts charmed all present with her sweet and enchanting soprano voice. All left for their homes at a late hour feeling pleased with their visit, and looking forward to return again ic on the piano to the delight of all. We are looking forward to the time when we shall be invited te return. Mrs. Myrtle Thomas of St. Louis, Mo., is in the city visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hughes.

Department “D” Box 1361 Central Sta, St.Louis, Mo. cet eeee Roosevelt Association Deciares Movement to Erect Monu- ments Must Awaken Americans to New Sense of Uuty. | ‘The Roosevelt Memorial association, which has assumed the task during the week of October 20-27, of collecting a fund of at least $5,000,000, for the erection at Washington of a towering shaft of marble to Colonel Roosevelt and the creation of a park at Oyster Bay, unreservedly declares that It ts looking beyond the accumulation of this fund, and that Its greatest work 1a to preserve for all the people of the United States the inspiration that flamed In the: great heart of Theodore Roosevelt and guided his statesman- ship. Unless the movement for the crea- tion of Roosevelt memorials Kindles In the souls of his fellow Americans greater devotion, more loyalty and deeper faith, it will have accomplished only a small part of what it was In- tended to do; and not only among the native, but also among the foreign-born American citizens must this patriotle feeling be fostered. “Theodore Roosevelt was a states- man, a historian, a Journalist, a big game hunter, naturalist, an explorer, but in and above all he was an Amer- fean, whose ruling passion was his country,” says Willlam Boyce Thomp- son, president of the Roosevelt Memor- fal association. “He served his coun- try with every side of his versatile be- tng. He rescued from oblivion a ro mantic era of her history; he studfed her wild animals aud birds and gave them sanctuaries; he redeemed her desert; he struggled for law and order on the frontier and for humanity in her slums; he fought for the honor of her flag, in war and peace, abroad and at home, with pen and sword and the organized power of high position. He loved America and with every breath he drew, he served her.” ‘This is the man who has passed from among us, the man who was as beloved tn the liberty-loving lands across the sea as he was in his own America, and millions of their inhabitants have sig- ified their purpose’ of contributing to the Roosevelt memorial fund during the week ofthe drive. ‘Thelr cause he vallantly espoused in those never- to-be-forgotten dark days before vic- tory came to the Allies, and because of this they revere the name of Theo- dore Roosevit little less than that of @ saint. | Nor will the peoples in the territor- | tal possessions of the United States be leas backward about honoring his mem ory than those in this country. In | Alaska, Hawaii, the Philippines, Porto Rico and, in fact, in the furthermost | corners of the enrth where the glorious | Stars and Stripes fly, men and women “and children have signified thelr tn- tention to help create the Roosevelt memorials and pay homage to the | memory of a man all Americans loved.

Theodore Roosevelt was @ leader in {deals and in action. He stood for the square deal, one flag, one language and one loy- alty—loyalty to the American people—for industrial justice, for public and private morality, for a strong and vigorous Amer- fea, charitable and helpful, ever ready to do her duty to clviliza- tion and humanity, but an Amer ta acting always under the dic- tates of her own conscience, rather than under the direction of others.

HULL HOUSE, CHICAGO, IS BUSY WORKING OUT AMERICANIZATION PLAN Scheme Simple, But Makes for Brand of Americanism Col. Roosevelt Believed In and Constantly Lebered Fer. ‘Hull House, in the midst of one of ‘Chicago's most congested foreign dis- tricts, has been for many years work- ing out an Amertcanization scheme ‘80 perfectly in accord with the polt- cles of the lute Theodore Roosevelt, that {t might serve as an inspiration to communities where the work has not yet gone so far, ‘Americanization, in the sense of adapting foreigners to the life and customs of the United States, has been a necessity in South Halsted street ever since the founding of the Hull House by Jane Addams, a close friend of Colonel Roosevelt and in most re- spects a warm sympathizer with his beliefs. It has been Miss Addams’ policy pot to change her foreign neighbors, but to adapt them with all that they bring from the old country. to the life of the new. As an filustration of tho value of this, Miss Addams tells a story of a peasant woman who had not learned to speak English nor kept up in-any way with her children as they grew up and went to school. Then classes in hand-craft were opened at Hull House and the old world women were asked to come in and teach the crafts they had brought with them from Europe. ‘This woman taught and did weaving.

WHY ROOSEVELT SENT FOR SETH BULLOCK Wanted Britishers to See Typical Wild Westerner and Educated Ameri- ean Gentieman. “Do you know why I sent for Seth Bullock to meet me in London when 1 was on my way home from that trip around the world?” the late Golonel Roosevelt. once asked a casual ac- quaintance from Deadwood, Captain Bullock's home. “I wanted those Brit- Ishers to see my ideal typical American. ‘They didn't know Bullock's sort at all. They didn't know @ man could be « wild Westerner and an educated gea- tleman-at the same time.” Captain Bullock, who died ‘recently at his home tn Deadwood, was a typl- cal Westerner in appearance, He was tall, gaunt, raw-boned, with drooping mustache, and le wore a soft white hat.

L Cleveland, a newspaper man who had been one of them, wrote several feature stories about Captain Bullock, telling of the notches on his gun, and his general bloody record, Captain Bullock read the stories and when he sent the rings the following note went with Mr, Cleveland's: “My Dear Mr. Cleveland: I am sending you a Black Hills gold ring as a little Souvenir of our trip with Mr. Roosevelt. You will see that’ your Initials are engraved inside. ‘The ‘facet’ I had added after reading your stories about me in the Chicago pa- pee Colonel Roosevelt and Captain Bul- lock were close friends from the days the colonel spent on his cow ranch on the Little Missourt north of the Black Hills, and when he was inaugurated president of the United States Captain Bullock and his “rough riders” were among the Interesting features of the inauguration parade.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhail Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube infamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system. L. F.
