LEADING COLORED CITIZENS MEET IN NEW YORK CITY IN THE INTEREST OF THE NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET —PREPARE A STIRRING ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY. New York City—The Committee of Colored Citizens selected from the country at large as advisory to the Republican National Committee having met this day in New York City and desiring to express to the colored voters of the country the necessity for supporting the Republican party candidates for President, Vice-President, Senate and House of Representatives addresses this letter to the colored voters whose duty it is to register in order that they may perform their duty to the country in this National crisis. This is the Presidential year. The time has come to hold the Wilson Administration and the Democratic Party to a "strict accountability," Are you ready for the fight? Or do you desire four years more of what the New York World calls the "Jim Crow Government at Washington?" No campaign since that for the second election of Abraham Lincoln has been more vital to the liberty and happiness of the 10,000,000 of colored citizens than is the present campaign for the election of Charles Evans Hughes for President, and a Republican Congress. Four years ago a considerable number of the race helped elect a Democratic President. This was done under fair promises of just treatment, "not grudgingly given but in generous fashion." The result has shown the experiment to have been the utmost political folly and race-suicide, and has shown that the Democratic Party cannot be trusted to deal fairly with our race in this country. The votes of the men of color for the Democratic candidates for President were obtained by fine phrases and false pretenses. No sooner had the Democratic Administration come into power than Mr. Wilson and his advisers entered upon a policy to eliminate all colored citizens from representation in the Federal Government. The office of Assistant Attorney General, Recorder of Deeds, Register of the U.S. Treasury, Auditor for the Navy, Minister to Hyatt, Collectorships of Internal Revenue in New York, Florida and Hawaii were vacated and filled by white Democrats. There were no "deserving colored Democrats" to be found in the country. Not only did the Administration proceed to demote in and eliminate the Negro from the Civil Service of the United States by scores, and to segregate those remaining in the service, but also to make impossible further appointments by requiring the race of the applicant to be shown by his photograph. The reason assigned by the Administration for its politics has been that "Southern people would not stand for Presidential appointments of Negroes to office" and "that segregation was for the benefit of humanity." The Administration was "too proud to fight Mexico but did not hesitate to conquer the Black Republic of Hayti and Santo Domingo. There was one policy of International justice for Mexico and another one towards the Negro Republics to the south of us. The President has expressed himself as in sympathy with the "enslaved men and women of Mexico," but has found no words of sympathy for the colored citizens of America. "The No Freedom" does not include the Negro. "Humanity" for which the President has expressed such great love, does not include the colored race. The President said in a notable address that "the man who wishes to divide man from man group from group, and interest from man heart is striking at the very heart of America." No man has done so much since Emancipation to so separate and divide the nation into groups, and to eliminate the colored race as a representative group of Americans, as has the President himself. Colored men, we must arise! Those who vote and those entitled to vote must strike for their liberties. This is a campaign for the restoration of the rights, privileges and immunities that we have heretofore enjoyed under the Republican Administration of the national government. Four more years of President Wilson will mean our complete elimination from American politics. We submit that the man who is ready to die for his country at Carrizal, is fit to serve his country at Washington; and that the man who is fit to be buried in the National Cemetery at Arlington, is fit to serve his country in the Capitol of the Nation. The Republican candidate for President, Charles Evans Hughes, has shown himself to be a man of highest character and absolute sincerity in his devotion to the cause of liberty, justice, and humanity, and when he is elected President of the United States we may confidently expect from him a square deal and complete protection in all our sacred rights as citizens, and the full enjoyment of the opportunities to which we are justly entitled, under the Constitution and Laws of country.

CHARLES EVANS HUGHES DELIVERED STRONG ADDRESS Speech of Hon. Charles E. Hughes, while candidate for Governor of the State of New York, delivered at Bethel A. M. E. Church, New York City, on November 4, 1906. Hon. Charles W. Anderson presided. Mr. Anderson, Ladies and Gentlemen: It is a great satisfaction for me to be able to be with you tonight. Forty years ago we had a great crisis in this country—a little more than forty years ago—and to preserve the Union we poured out our money, our treasury and the lives of many of our best citizens. We desired to have equality before the law. We desired to have the benefits of free institutions extended to all those that were just as much entitled to them as those that already enjoyed them. The Union was preserved, but our efforts to preserve our free government must be unremitting. We can never stand idly by and watch the administration of government as though it were a matter with which we, as citizens, had no necessary concern. In this campaign there has been brought home to all the citizens of this State that they must be alive to what is essential to the perpetuity of decent, free, honorable government. You have the question of the preservation of law and the maintenance of order. No man is a good citizen who is reckless with regard to the requirement of the law. No one knows better than you how important it is that appeals to passion should not subvert the judgment. No one knows better than you that if dealing with those who are guilty we should proceed according to due process of law. We want the spirit of fairness always to prevail. Once you abandon that conscientious desire to do right, that desire to accord to your neighbor the right that you demand for yourself, you enter upon a path that leads straight to anarchy. We don't want any lynch law in this country. We don't want any lynch law in criticism. We don't want any lynch law in newspapers. We don't want any lynch law, or the spirit that manifests itself in lynch law, any where. We desire to see the government at Albany administered solely in the interests of the people of the State and in the interests of all the people of the State. I stand for equality before the law. I stand ever against unjust discrimination against any man on account of his color or on account of his race or on account of anything. We do not want the memories of our great dead used as a cloak for the advancement of selfish ambition. We do not want the name of our martyred President invoked by those who are in their proceedings dishonoring every principle for which he stood. NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.

Boston, Mass. — The world war is changing the outlook for Negroes in the United States. Employers in the North, shut off from supplies of workers from Europe, are now importing Negroes from the South, and to such an extent as to provoke dissent from employers in the South, who have no liking for a labor shortage. As a consequence of the rivalry for his service, the Negro already gets a higher' wage. Continued for any length of time, there will be a shifting of population, due to this economic adjustment, that will have consequences immediate and remote. Business League Meets Wednesday Night. The next regular meeting of the local Business League will be held Wednesday night in the offices of the Virginia Beneficial Insurance Company. An important subject has been selected for discussion and will be led by either Messrs. J. C. Brooks or E. J. Puryear. It is hoped that the members of the League will put in a full attendance as important business will come before the body. Each member is requested to bring another man. We revere the memory of that great man who, in silent fortitude, bore his burden, who was content always to be right, careless alike of praise or of blame, who was more anxious to be just than to be famous, who was more anxious to be fair than to hold office, and through all his life breathed the intense desire to give liberty, to give freedom, and in all that he did to answer with his conscience in the presence of the God who gave it to him. We cannot have too much of that spirit in our American life, and we cannot condemn too strongly the misuse of that appeal. I tell you we want to settle something in this election. We do not want simply to win a victory; we want to have that victory so decisive that it will be a warning to all those who preach hatred and incite disorder. We want them to know that in this country they cannot succeed that way. They have to get down, and deal with things as they are and shun misstatement and shun exaggeration and shun calumny and shun vilification and endeavor to imitate in their own activities some of the virtues which they so loudly proclaim. I want you to know, my friends, that if I am elected Governor, I will be your Governor, the Governor of every one of you. I want to see that you have, every one of you, a square deal. I want every one of you to be protected in your sacred rights as citizens, and have the opportunity that you are justly entitled to have in this great commonwealth. And I want you to know, whether you are Republicans or whether you are Democrats, whatever your allegiance may have been, that I stand here with no other ambition but to serve the people of the State and be the Governor of all irrespective of race, color or party. GREAT MOTION PICTURE PAGEANT WILL BE MADE OF NEGRO STATE FAIR AT RALEIGH, N, CO. OCT. 24-28. (Special to Journal and Guide.) Raleigh, N. C., October 20—The management has great pleasure in the announcement that arrangements have been completed by which the coming great Negro Fair will be placed in the moving picture shows. This is something entirely new and must prove very attractive. The films will be made daily and will give life-size views of the big show as it is going on from day to day. Exhibitors, exhibits, racing, midway scenes, the moving throng all will be shown. Be there and have your picture appear with others. These films will be largely used to advertise the next fair in all parts of the State and the pictures should be made as representative as it is possible to make them. No charge, all free. Be sure and be there. The Address of Governor Locke Craig. On Thursday the fair should attract thousands. The Governor is not only an eloquent speaker, but is more. His dictation is ornate and classic and his words are highly charged with the best and wisest thought. He is a true North Carolinian and we can not hear him without feeling a deeper love for the old State. There should be a tremendous outpouring of our people to hear Governor Craig. The Agricultural Exhibit. Present prospects promise a splendid display of agricultural products of all kinds. Our farmers have made good crops, prices are soaring, and there is every incentive to an excellent show of their progress. And this is especially desirable in view of the fact that the exhibits and exhibitors are to be filmed and will enter into the moving picture show. We feel to urge our farmers to make their displays just as full and as attractive as possible. The Parades—Automobile Show. THE parades each day will be grand. The splendid Durham Band will furnish the music which guarantees a high order of service. On Wednesday, October 25th, there will be a grand parade of bicycles, floats, motorcycles and automobiles. Prizes for the best and most artistically decorated automobiles will be awarded as follows: First prize, $12.50; second prize, $10.00; third prize, $7.50; fourth prize, $5.00. Stock Parade. All stock entered for prizes will be paraded around the track on Wednesday and judgment passed on them in front of the grand stand. Motorcycle Races. Motorycle races will take place Wednesday and Thursday for pursues of $25.00. See premium list for rules. Durham Day—Thursday Thursday of the week will be known as Durham Day. It is hoped that the Magic City will turn out in full and make the occasion a notable event in the history of the Fair Association. Let the whole population take a day off and come. Educational Day. Friday, as usual, will be Educational Day. All our schools will be closed on that day and will be out on mase. The educational exhibits from the various schools will be the feature of the day. These will be superb. Many of our leading institutions promise their very best efforts. Practical Demonstrations in Domestic Science and Household Industry. There will be practical demonstration in cooking, canning, soap making, etc. Social Attractions, Grand Musical Festival, Marshall's Ball. The social side of the Fair this year will offer a rare opportunity for in the history of Negro Fairs. Chifo among these will be the grand concert and musical festival to be given by the members and congregation of St. Ambrose Episcopal Church, Thursday night, the 26th, and the Marshall's Ball on Friday night at the auditorium. This magnificent building with a seating capacity of 5,000 will be elaborately decorated for these occasions. The Midway Will Be Lively. This year the midway will be crowded with high class, clean amusements and there will be many free attractions. Altogether Fair week this year will offer a tare of opportunity for pleasure and profit. The prosperous condition of people, the high prices our farmers are receiving for their crops, the general good cheer everywhere apparent, should cause an attendance at the coming Fair unprecedented. Madam Allen of 505 Queen Street, has returned from the East and begins her work November the first. GREAT REVIVAL AT ROANOKE ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CONVERTS LAST WEEK—FOOTBALL SEASON OPENS WITH BIG VICTORY FOR LOCAL TEAM. (By W. A. Reid). Roanoke, Va., Oct. 20.—One of the greatest revivals that ever took place among the colored Baptists of Roanoke is now in progress at the First Baptist Church. Rev. Dr. C. LeRoy Butler is presenting the gospel truths in a plain, practicable, and forceful manner, urging the people to take God's way and the Bible method of being saved; indeed, he rightfully term it, "The Old Time Religion" for it is the way Paul, and Silas, and the host of the disciples of ancient times took, simply "Believing on the Lord Jesus Christ" with emphasis on the "on"; not believing about or of Jesus, but "on" Him. Mr. John M. Smiley, the sweet and melodious singer, is assisting Dr. Butler in these services. While Bro. Smiley sings the large audiences that tax the seating capacity of the church, each evening, is melted in tears and there are many loud "Amens! and often scores who break forth into shouting. These faithful workers are accompanied by their wives who also are of great help in the meetings: Mrs. Butler presiding at the organ while the deep contrunto voice of Mrs. Smiley mingles with the other voices of the well trained chorus who lead the congregational singers. One hundred and fifty persons accepted Christ during the past week. The minister of the church, Rev. Ricks, delights in the fact that he is kept busy baptizing nearly every evening. Mr. Harry Sheffey returns to the city after having been away for the last six months. He has been living at Coal-Wood, West Va. The home of Mr. and Mrs. William Odell of 206 8th Avenue N. W., was entered and robbed by some one on Thursday afternoon; many valuable things were taken away Mr. and Mrs. Odell were out at the time and believe that the things were taken by some one who knew that they were away and were acquainted with the house. Mr. Harry Robinson, who spent the summer at Pulaski,' was in the city Sunday en route to Columbus, Ohio. Mrs. John Dent of 315 Hurrison Ave. N. W., has returned to the city after a pleasant vacation with relatives and friends at Bristol, Va. At High Street Baptist Church Sunday, Rev. J. C. Austin of Pittsburgh, Pa., and pastor of the Ezenzeer Church, p. three very able sermons Su. and in the afternoon as well as at night the house was filled. In the afternoon he preached to the women only and a large crowd was present to hear him. Rev. Austin is a strong and able man and his sermon will be long remembered. There were two conversions. Mr. William R. Simms, 47 Hart Ave., has returned to the city after spending his vacation at Pearch, Va., and Columbus, Ohio. Ronnoke Foot-ball Team, under the leadership of Capt. Chas. V. Hayden, pet Bedford City team here last Friday, one-sided game, the result of which was 40 to 0 in favor of the Ronnoke team. This was the first game of the season and the Ronnoke team seemed to be in fine form. Ronnoke will play Hampton and Petersburg, on their home grounds later in the season. Guests at the Hotel Anderson: Mr. Russell H. Catlett, Atlantic City; Mr. Thos. Winy, Washington. D. C.; Mr. Walker, Walls, Ohio; Mr. Lee Carrell, Bluefield, W. Va.; Mr. G. O. Bullock, Winston-Salem, N. C.; Mr. Otis B. Earley, Gairy, W. Va.; Mr. Harry Robinson, Pulsuk, Va. The Magic City Medical Association met with Dr. R. J. Boland Monday evening after the usual business of the evening was over the doctors were invited into the dining room where they were served a delicious dinner. The Roanoke County and City Educational Association held its first meeting Saturday, October the 14th, at the Gainsboro School. The meeting was well attended, new officers were elected and plans formed for organizing a "Patrons League" in Roanoke. The Francis Harper Reading Club met with Mrs. Roxie Arnold Tuesday afternoon. The leason for the afternoon was English Artists. Miss Hortise Gray, who teaches domestic science at the Salem High School, the week-end as the guess of Miss Julia Marable. The Priscilla Art Club met at the home of Mrs. Zonola Banister. New officers were elected for the year. The club will take Fillet Crochet for the month of November with Mrs. R. E. Harth as director. Major McGrew, State Y. M. C. A. Secretary, stopped in the city for a few hours en route to Christiansburg Institute. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Schley. NOTICE. To the Baptist Brotherhood of N. C. Greetings:-- All persons who are planning to attend the Union Baptist State Convention which convenes in our church Nov. 14-17, 1916, please send me their names at once so as to receive assignments before arrival. Yours truly, O. I. ALLEN, Ph.D. PRICE FIVE CENTS STATE FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS RAISED $827.73 FOR INSTITUTION SINCE OCTOBER, 1915—WILL EMPLOY TEACHER. Members of the Ways and Means Committee who live in Tidewater, met on Saturday, October 14 at 1 p.m. at the residence of Miss Clara L. K. Bailey, 718 Carroll street, Portsmouth. The Chairman, Mrs. Josephine M. Norcom, presided. Every phase of the work was discussed, concerning money's previously raised, reports and leaflets printed and passed to the public. The committee felt that the women of the State have every reason to be proud of such a noble work instituted by the women's clubs. The secretary's report showed that $618.23 had been received for the clubs for the Girl's Home since October 15, besides the Dorcas Art Club of Hampton at a cost of $90.00 furnished, the first honor room of the Federation Cottage and the Women's Council of Richmond furnished the reception room at a cost of $119.50, these last through the president, Mrs. Harris Barrett. The expenditures for printing, mailing, badges, banner, and stationary amounting to $55.85. Amount turned to State treasurer $537.38. Amount in committee treasury $25.00. The probability of the committee employing a teacher for the Girls' Home was discussed and on motion it was decided that the committee would employ a teacher for five months beginning January 1st, 1917. The committee felt that there would be no better way to show our appreciation of the very excellent work of Mrs. Ethel Gordon Griffith, the matron, than to help through giving the teacher for the work. The following was reported toward the teacher's salary through Mrs. I. C. Norcom, Portsmouth, $13.00; Miss C. L. K. Bailey, Portsmouth, $3.50; Mrs. A. V. Clark, Newport News, $5.00; Mrs. C. E. Jones, Newport News, $5.00; Mrs. C. W. Davis, Bristol, $7.30.—Total $33.80. Others will report later until December 16th, when we hope to have the full amount to pay the teacher's salary for the five months. After a very enjoyable luncheon the ladies left for their various homes. MAJOR ALLEN WASHINGTON SPEAKS ON SUNDAY Major Allen Washington, commandant of cadets at Hampton Institute and successor to Robert R. Moton (now principal of Tuskegee), will speak at the First Baptist Church (Colored) on Bute street, of which Rev. Richard H. Bowling is the pastor, on Sunday afternoon, October 22, at three o'clock. The Hampton Quartet, known from coast to coast for their fine singing of the plantation melodies of the Old South, will be present at the big "Men's Day" meeting. Like the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the new Commandant at Hampton Institute had a hard uphill climb. Today he is regarded as one of the strongest and sinest of leaders among his people. The story of his struggle from oysterman and farmer to commandant is interesting. Y. M. C. A. NOTES. The Association hall last Sunday afternoon was crowded from door to stage with men who came out to hear Dr. Chas. S. Morris's address on sanctification. The presentation of the subject consisted of Bible 1 proof and logical deductions, which were both forceful and convincing. The speaker however, was able to finish only half of his outline. The other half will be presented this Sunday at 4 o'clock. A large crowd will no doubt be on hand to hear the conclusion. International Secretary R. P. Hamill arrived in the city Wednesday noon. He is here to direct the preparedness campaign which begins November 1st. The object of the campaign is to increase the Association's membership and to raise funds for the work. About 300 men heard Rev. Gregory at the open air meeting, Lambertus Point, Wednesday noon. He spoke on the subject, "Building." BANK STREET BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. J. B.

Mothers are sometimes so thoughtless as to neglect the colds which their children contract. The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child has chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden. Many persons who have this lonthsome disease will remember having had frequent colds at the time it was contracted. A little forethought, a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy judiciously used, and all this trouble might have been avoided. For sale by all druggists. Mrs. G.

I think there is very general agreement upon that. When the demand for supplies to the armies in the field has ended great numbers of men will return to productive employment in Europe and great numbers of operatives will be thrown out of employment here and will have to find other work. Europe will have little money and be heavily in debt. She will be under strong compulsion to pay her debts by making and selling goods. She will be on a basis of strict economy and high organization and she can make and sell cheaply. The United States will have an abundance of money and vast purchasing power. Our market has always been attractive to European producers. It will be far more attractive after the war. It is highly probable that even England will resort to a protective tariff, so that our production will meet protective barriers in all foreign markets. What are we going to do then? We must do something. We must protect ourselves or we shall become the dumpling ground of the world and our workmen will beg in the streets. Even the Democrats have seen that something must be done, for they have provided a tariff board to ascertain and report the true facts to which a tariff law is to be applied. In Mr. Taft's Administration the Republicans provided for a tariff board to report to the President and it was appointed and doing excellent work. When the Democratic House elected in 1010 came in they starved it out of existence by refusing appropriations. In the last session of the Oist Congress the Republicans passed through both Houses a new bill for a tariff board to report to Congress. There were some slight differences of detail in the two Houses, which were agreed upon in conference, but the Democrats dilbustered against the final conference report and so killed the bill. So the tariff board was dead—slain by the Democratic party. It has now been resurrected by that party because they see that something must be done about the tariff when the war closes. Now, we can all understand that if the country wants a tariff for revenue only they may put the making of it in the hands of the Democratic party. But, can any sane man contemplate that party making a protective tariff? In the first place they can't do it honestly. They don't believe in it. They were born and bred in a different faith. They have been crying so long that protection is an abuse of power and an abomination that they can't reconcile themselves to a protective tariff, and they regard the Underwood tariff as a model. That is what we are to have if the Democrats go back—the Underwood tariff still, with perhaps here and there a slight modification regarding dye stuffs and some other articles which can be shown to gentlemen from Missouri and elsewhere. Well, if there ever was a clumsy, ill conceived, misfit law, it is the tariff which bears Mr. Underwood's name. We had already discovered what its effect was when the war in Europe began. Many mills and factories were closed or running but a part of the time. Great numbers of laborers were thrown out of employment, and the market for American products was still further reduced by the destruction of their purchasing power. Enterprise halted, discouraged and apprehensive of the future. New enterprises were no longer attempted. Old plants were no longer enlarged. The Underwood tariff had already failed when the war in Europe began. That war furnished and continues to furnish to American production the most absolute protection because it has to so great a degree stopped production in Europe. So long as the war lasts our producers have practically no competition in our home market, for Europe does not make the goods to sell here. At the same time, while the war lasts our producers have an enormous market in Europe for the things that Europe can't produce in sufficient quantities. When the war is over that condition will cease, and we shall deserve what happens to us if we do not provide against that time by a tariff quite different from the Underwood tariff and made by men who do not consider a tariff for revenue only an article of religious faith.—From the Speech of Eilhu Root Delivered at Carnegie Hall, New York City, October 5, 1916.

The Philadelphia Tribune and The Crisis are in agreement upon one thing. They are both of the opinion that the’ North offers the Southern Negroes a haven free from oppres- sion, lawlessness, lynch-law and other forms of injustice. ‘The Crisis says, “If there is any colored man in tho South who wishes to have his children edueated and who wishes to be in close touch with civilization and who has any chance or ghost of a chance of making a living in the North, it is his business to get out of the South as soon as possible.” The Tribune says that “the disadvantages of rural life in the South to colored people are so notorious that the larger cities of the South ure overerowded with people secking better wage, church and edu-| cational opportunities.” | We commend the hospitable spirit of our Northern contemporaries, but as we have said in these columns before, wd hope that too much encouragement i not be given the movement to he Negrocs~arigrate-in Jurgemum- hers to the North, Experience shows that wherever Negroes assemble in Jarge numbers in the North they are followed by a race problem more acute than the problem they leave behind them in the South. New York's “Harlem" is 0 good example. A study. of the social and economic conditions of the Negroes of “Ilarlem” discloses the fact that the conomic and social “conditions of, the Negroes of Atlanta, Richmond or Nashville are far su. perior. wy There ara already too many Negroes in the cities, both North and South. ‘The opportunity of thé race in Amer-| ica is in the rural districts. It is true that at present rural life in the sot St many disqdvantages, but instead ‘of zunning away from rural life be- cause of its disadvantages the Negroes should stay in the rural districts and improve their opportunities. Booker Washington saw all of the problems that ate now confronting the race thirty-five years ago. He dedicated his Jife to teaching the members of hig race to improve rural life. He trained Jeaders and sent them biek to the éountry to tedclt thilr people how to build better school houses, better churches and better homes, and how to make two bales of cotton grow where only one had grown before. With the millions of acres of untilled Jand lying idle in the South, inviting new ownership and cultivation by in- telligent hands, the race will throw away a great opportunity if it deserts " Washington's principle for the super- ficial allurements of Northern indus- tries, occasioned not by the yankee’s “ehoice ‘of Negro labor, but by the deci- amition of industrial ranks by the de- mands of the European war. What sill happen when the war is over and ‘the tide of immigzation is again turn- _,e\toward America is a question that “Southern Negroes should consider ‘well before leaving tiie South in large ‘jumbers. It is only natural that some “Jghould go, amd it is to be expected ¢hat ‘some will find opportanities far better than. those afforded them in Alle Southy but condHions 4 ,j9t Justify ‘THE DEMOCRATIC SLOGAN. “He kept us out of war” is the slo- gan of the Democratic party, in their effort to re-elect Mr. Wilson, and fear- ing perhops that “War” has a differ- ent meaning we consulted our little dictionary and were relieved to find that war is defined as “‘a contest be- tween two states or two parties within a state, with force of arms,” ete, Of course when twenty young American lives were lost at Vera Cruz in an ef- fort of the President to humiliate Huerta, with an attendant cost, of over a million dollars, there was no war according to the friends of the administration, but the relatives of the slain Americans, suffer and grieve, no matter by what name it is termed. Yes, vetily he kept us out of a general war with Europe, but at a distinct cost to American prestige and an evér- lasting humiliation. Lf our homes are invaded by murderous burglars, it might mean personal safety to say: “We are too proud to fight,” but the neighbors will never have the same respect for,us, ‘The massacre at Car- rizal is still fresh in our memories, and the only reason that we have not resented the awful outrage, is because in the ill-ndvised plan of entering Mex- ican territory our government's posi- tion was untenable as well as extreme- ly emburrussing. We did not fight Mexico, we stood for the bullying of Germany, the defiance of England, yet withal, we found time and oppor- tunity to subdue and and fight the lit- tle republics of San Domingo and Hayti, Germany has the same re- gard for the notes sent her by this kovernment as she had for “scraps of paper” which contained her solemn agreement with Belgium. Mr. Wilson has been « man of vaccilating tenden- cies during his entire tenure as Presi- dent. Once he was “too proud to Gicht"; last Saturday he said America was teady to fight; once he was op- posed to woman suffrage; now he is catering to the women votes on ac- count of having “kept us out of war”; once opposed to preparedness, he turns cout when public sentiment swept him Off-his- fect of-opposition.- ‘THe Démo- erats promised free trade and a re- duction of the high cost of living, yet ‘at least seven staple products have inereused in price from 40 to 100 per cent. Not ut war, we arc’ paying war prices, and but for the Europedin war, we would have long since faced a panic —and as it is, wo are being taxed by the government for a deficit threat- ened ere the grent world’s holocaust began. Once Mr. Wilson said he would not engage in campaigning; that his addresses would be made from Shadow Lawn, but now the country sees him trailing over the land. If he has any backbone it is not appar- ent to the average citizen who like the boy in hjs father’s trousers, you can- not tell whether he Ig going or coming. WHY NOT A NORFOLK FAIR? Norfolk is the market place of one of the richest agricultural sections in the South, ‘Tidewater Virginia and Nerth Carolina can justly lay claim to farming lands uncxcelled for fortility and, variety. Norfolk, being the chief market center for this richly en- dowed territory, should also be the place for an annual exhibit of the best products of those who till the soil. Such an enterprise invites competition, encourages better farming, the rais- ing of more and better live stock and the making of better homes, all af which adds to the economic progress of the community. With cight rail- roads entering here, in addition to the splendid water connections with Bast- ern Carolina, Eastern Shore and Northern Neck of Virginia, Norfolk offers unexcelled transportation facili- ties for the dssembling of a great an- nual agricultural and industrial ex- cs and making it accessible to the ‘people who live in the territory af- fected. | We hope that the splentlid races held here ‘Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, which so well demonstrated that ‘owr people are romarkably advanced in the raising and training of blooded ‘horses, will be an entering wedge for ‘the organization of a strong agricul- tural frir assoctition for helding on ‘annual exhibition in Norfolk...

On Sunday last at 12:30 a.m. m. the people of Cape Charles, both white and colored, witnessed one of the most impressive scenes in the history of the town. Before a crowd numbering more than a thousand persons, Rev. P. W. Cook, B. D., pastor of the first Baptist Church, with the assistance of Deacon Smith Palmer, led 22 candidates into the waters of the Cheesapeake to be baptized. At 2:30 p.m. a great number retired to the church, where Rev. G. E. Read, D.

Tennis Tournament. The Cape Charles Tennis Club had the pleasure of entertaining a number of the members of the Y. M. C. A. of Norfolk, Vn., in the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Gray, 641 Randolph Ave., on Tuesday evening, October 10th. Quite a number of friends from the neighboring towns were present. After spending a very enjoyable evening the Cape Charles Tennis Club presented a lunchon in hour of the Norfolk gentlemen. A few after-dinner speeches were made and we returned to our homes just as the early hours of the morn were beginning to dawn. On Wednesday, October 11th, the Y. M. C. A. was represented on the tennis court by Messrs. John C. Dancy and Robertson. A number of sets of singles and doubles were played. The Y. M. C. A. winning with ease the majority of sets in singles, and the local club carrying off the honors in doubles. These who witnessed the games were thoroughly convinced that the coming season would find the Cape Charles Tennis Club with some of the stronest teams in the State. Mr. George Kemp, brother of Mr. W.

Yough of Richmond, Va., is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. William Walters on Atlantic Ave. Mrs. Sommerville of Warrenton, is visiting her son, Mr. Moses Sommerville. The Rev. Jno. H. Martin is in Winston-Salem this week assisting in a revival meeting. Henry Ford's famous, "Out of the Trenches by Christmas" has been paraphrased by the two leading Baptist churches of the city into, "Out of Debt by Christmas." Both churches, Mt. Zion and St. James, are making strenuous efforts for great rallies the first Sundays in November and December, respectively. The Alpha Orchestra rendered a splendid sacred concert in the Alpha Hall last Sunday afternoon at 5 o'cock. There were interspersed several essays and recitations, all creditably rendered. The music was in keeping with the occasion. It consisted of Gospel hymus, a cornet solo, "Cavalry," by Prof. Baines, a good rendition of several classical pieces, including a creditable interpretation of "Poet and Peasant." Short addresses were made by Mr. Baynard, the conductor, and Dr. P. W. Burnett. A silver offering was taken at the door for the benefit of Mt. Zion Church. At St. James Baptist Church last Sunday evening there was rendered a sacred concert by several of the older married people of the church. The writer considers it the best of its kind he has heard in a long time. It intensely pleased a good size audience that gathered for the occasion. The beauty of the program consisted not in the style and polish of its rendition, but rather in the choice selection of each number, the entire absence of any affectation, and in the earnest manner in which each participant deported himself. There was a swing and an abandon to the program that was refreshing. Everybody was himself. Deacon F. W. Davis led the singing of several old time "jubilee spirituals." The program was concluded with a play, "Paying off the Church Mortgage," in which Mrs. Lucas as "Aunt Hannah" and Mr. Pittman as the "Parson," were the leading characters. As splendid offering was taken. JACK AND GILL WEDDING POSTPONED The Jack and Gill wedding which we to have taken piece Thursday evening at the Y. M. G.

In his Maline speeches Mr. Hughes made it plain that he was not attacking labor or the equity of the proposed increase of wages for the railroad man. He was simply contending for the all important principle of arbitration as the right means of settlement of such questions. Speaking at different places in Maline Mr. Hughes dwelt upon this question, saying: "I deeply deplore, in the name of labor, in the name of justice, in the name of American ideals, the surrender of the Executive and of Congress to force, instead of permitting reason to reken. "The measure to which I have alluded was not, properly speaking, an eighth measure. It was a wage measure. It was a plain proposition for a change in the wage scale. It that not speak of the equity of that. That is a matter to be fairly considered. I want what is fast and right with respect to wages. I am for the arbitration and the peaceful settlement of these industrial controversies. We can settle everything in this country if we approach those matters with a fair and open mind and an examination of the facts. "This particular measure shows on its face that it was legislation in advance of the investigation, instead of investigation in advance of legislation. It is said that there was in its favor the judgment of society. The judgment of society in this country has never been passed in favor of legislation without knowledge of the equity and regardless of the facts of this case. There was no judgment of society in favor of the roads which were excepted from its provisions. If there was a judgment of society, why not apply the rule to electric or other kinds of roads or roads less than 100 miles in length? I say, away with such pretense! It was a surmary to forcimental of a clear, careful, faithful framed examination of the facts, and then action in accordance with American principles. "Autocracy represents force; tyranny represents force. Democracy represents the rule of the common judgment after discussion, after an opportunity to know the facts." It All Depends. "If Hughes wins an Oregon town will get a new single mille employing fifty men," says the Olympia Recorder, "according to an announcement of the individual who took an option on timberland land. If Wilson wins the option will be allowed to lapse. That's the way with a thousand and one enterprises, all wanting to see which way the wind blows. The moment 'H' is assured that Charles E. Hughes is elected, just watch the wheels of industry and listen to the hum of business." THESE PIPING TIMES OF PEACE CARRANZA AND WILSON-THE EXPERTS OH HOW WE LOVE THE GRINGERS! TALK SAFETY FIRST NOT TOO PROUD TO QUIT! TALK CONCORD HUMANITY SOFT SOAP ROGERS, In New York Herald SOLILOQUY AT SHADOW LAWN Editorial Comments If the Democratic leader who advocates putting dyes on the free list to encourage the industry were a surgeon his method of setting a broken limb would be to amputate the patient's leg at the neck. Optinism is what makes the Democratic party, which has fooled some of the people only three times in fifty years and has never yet fooled all of the people some of the time, think that it can now fool all of the people all of the time. President Wilson hasn't been able to figure out yet whether he is going to be on the stump or up one. If the paper shortage becomes much more serious the first thing we know the machinery of the State Department will be coming to an abrupt stop. Then, too, according to the Democratic campaign book that among the more important constituents of the Wilson Administration may be mentioned Mugha Charta and the Ten Commandments. Secretary Redfield converses gibly in terms of billions until it comes time to make a campaign contribution, when, it is disclosed that all he really knows about mathematics is $100. Everything has gone up under Wilson except the price of dead Americans. Senator Jimham Lewis has purchased a new volume of "Unfamiliar Quotations" and expects to be able any day now to give us the classical derivation of "pitless publicity" and "strict accountability" in the original Babylon. Add famous sayings of history: "I will surrender on this line if it takes all summer!" The Democratic revenue bill, as completed, is regarded as so perfect that the chances are that the taxpayers of New York, Massachusetts and Illinois will be able to build 3,000 more miles of good roads in Alabama next year. Mr. Hughes is talking to the woman of the land in the homely language of the fireside and we expect to witness an impressive rallying of the sex on the first ironing day after the first wash day in November. MR. WILSON TOOK PLEASURE IN EXTENDING THE HAND OF WELCOME TO CARRANZA One of these "uncivilized" acts was committed on September 29th, when some of Carranza's soldiers captured an American trooper, killed him and cut off his head and ears. Exactly twenty days later, on October 19th, Mr. Wilson expressed "pleasure" in informing Carranza that he recognized him! Since the recognition, Carranza's troops by his orders have treacherously attacked and murdered American soldiers on at least two occasions. If the acts above recited—which are merely samples of the course of conduct Carranza has already pursued—do not constitute "intimite and assassination, treachery and violence," then the words have lost their meaning. Mr. Wilson look "pleasure" in "extending the hand of welcome" to Carranza, whose own hand is red with the blood of murdered men and women of his own nation, and whose hands, unlike the hands of Huerta, were also red with the blood of murdered Americans, of murdered American civilians, and of murdered American soldiers wearing the American uniform. But President Wilson cared as little for the deaths of these men as he cared for the honor of the uniform. He with "pleasure" "extended the hand of welcome" to the man guilty of their murder—from the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Behalf of Mr. Hughes. PAGE FIVB PEACE EXPERTS FETY FIRST TALK ROGERS, In New York Herald MR. WILSON YIELDED PARTLY TO FEAR, PARTLY TO HOPE OF POLITICAL PROFIT. President Wilson yielded to the dictation of the heads of the Brotherhoods, and made no effort to find out whether the demand was right or wrong. He made no effort to find out whether it could be compiled with without raising freight rates. He made no effort to find out all the equities in the case; those affecting the men, those affecting the stockholders, those affecting the shippers. He took his orders from that one of the parties in interest which he most feared. He insisted that the law be passed without inquiry. And then he deferred the operation of the law until after election, which, of course, could only have been done for political reasons. * * * The question at issue was not that of an eight-hour day at all. The question was whether President and Congress should enact a law, without investigation and without knowledge, to give increased wages to a certain portion of the body, of the wage earners. The labor leaders on this issue, without regard to the right or wrong of the matter, first covered the President, and then with his old coerced Congress. The question at issue was not one of the hours of labor. It was one of wages. And it was settled by the President and Congress without investigation and without knowledge. The settlement was due partly to fear, and partly to hope of political profit.—From the Speech of Colonel Roosevelt at Battle Creek, Michigan, in Befall of Mr. Hughes. The Democrats complain because some Republican campaign orators pay so much attention to the President. What else has the Democratic party to talk about? MR. HUGHES, OPPOSED TO FOOLISH GOVERNMENT. "I have no respect for the idea that because democratic government is a government of the people, by the people and for the people it is a government of the foolish, for the foolish and by the foolish."—From Mr. Hughes' Saloon at Chicago.

Sunday, October 15th, was a high day with us all day. At 11 a. m. Rev. Hatcher preached a powerful sermon on "Three Certainties of Our Faith," 2 Tim. 1.12. Rev. Hatcher proved that the extreme uncertainty of our times, and the mad pursuit of the novel, are due to "the shift of the center of religious gravity and a woeful ignorance of God's word." After exposing the folly of making either the Intellect, Will, or Sensibility the seat of religion, rather than giving it the "Heart, the complex of our whole personality," he urged us to be certain of our Conversion, of our Salvation and of our Advocate. Our minds were opened, our heart burned and better living shall follow. Mrs. Elizabeth Tynes of Berkley, a graduate of Hampton, a city school teacher joined our church. We welcome her. At night, "Am I Measuring Up," was the subject treated from Matt. 25:40. We were urged to give of our possessions, sympathy and life to bless our fellows. We have a great many visitors at every service. Welcome! Come again. Special evangelist sermons every Sunday, bring your unconverted friends. The Stewards are preparing to give Rev. Hatcher a trip to Alabama to see his mother, on which trip he will lecture and sing at Morriss Brown College, Atlanta, Ga., and the State School at Montgomery, Ala. A graded Sunday School. Bible study every Wednesday night. First Baptist Church The services for the last two Sundays have been well attended, especially at night. The increase in the evening attendance has been due largely to the coming on of cooler weather, but more so to the fact that the service is short and yet inspiring. It is marked by good congregational singing and good earnest preaching and praying. Hear for yourself the sermon this Sunday night on "Spiritual Gifts." In the sermon the problem of speaking with tongues, working miracles, healing, discerning of spirits, etc., will be handled in an unbiased manner and above all those who come will go away better informed and with greater zeal for Christ. Hear Major Allen Washington and the Hampton Quartette this Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock sharp. The occasion is Men's Day, but the ladies are also invited. On Monday night at 8 o'clock Dr. W. A.

Preaching at 11 a.m. by the pastor, Theme: "Leaders and Standards." $ p. m., "Sowing and Reaping." Bishop L. N. Ross of Washington, D. C., will spend ten days in Norfolk and viability, beginning the 5th Sunday a. m., at St. John's Church. Bishop Ross is one of the famous preachers of the day and as an evangelist he has few equals. A capacity audience is anticipated Sunday the 23rd to hear the distinguished prelate. Y. W. C. A. Regular Vesper services at the home on Sunday at five-thirty by the members of St. Luke's C. M. E.

Classes for children begin on November the first at 4 o'clock. Old and new pupils are cordially invited. The teachers will be there and make arrangements for the year's work.

Mrs. Moone will tell of the needs of the Y. W. C. A. in the community. The other part of the program will be in the hands of Mrs. E. V. Kelly, Mrs. Clara Holland and other members of the church. Be sure and come. You can't afford to miss it. "Ruth The Gleaner." A sacred cantata entitled "Ruth the Cleaner" was presented at St. Luke's C. M. E.

He Takes This Action Not Because He Is the Victim of Ingratitude But Because Wilson Stands for Wilson First and Col. Harvey Cannot Assist in the Betrayal of His Country for the Gratification of Personal Ambition—A Democrat's Patriotic Stand. The arowal of the cause of Mr. Hughes by Colonel George Harvey is one of the distinct features of the present campaign. It would be significant in itself that a man of his prestige, who had always trained with the Democratic party, and espoused the cause of the Republican candidate. But in Mr. Harvey's case the significance is very much greater, as well as the importance of the event. He has been not only a Democrat, but a Wilson Democrat. Moreover, he was the first man of prominence to advocate the election of Woodrow Wilson as President, and for many years one of the closest friends and advisers of the present occupant of the White House. Mr. Harvey not only proposed Mr. Wilson for the Presidency, but as early as 1910 interested United States Senator Smith, a Democratic leader of New Jersey, in Mr. Wilson, and this resulted in the Wilson nomination and election as Governor of New Jersey. Mr. Harvey not only comes out for Mr. Hughes, but gives very intelligent reasons for his action in the current number of his "North American Review." In his judgment there are two vital questions to be answered before election. One is, which of the two great parties at this particular juncture in our progress as a nation is the better equipped and the more likely to render the highest public service? The other is, which of the two designated leaders is the more certain to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the, United States? Such an issue as the Democrats claim, that Mr. Wilson has kept us out of war and therefore is entitled to re-election, is brushed aside as something that has no proper place in the mind of the voter of this year. In Mr. Harvey's judgment, only the most insane partisan would venture to suggest a possibility of Mr. Wilson or Mr. Hughes inciting or inviting war with any European or Aslatic Power, and therefore there is no fair issue between them on this question. There are three elements that are involved in the answers to these two questions, those of military and industrial preparedness, government by and for the people and national honor and opportunity. So far as all of these are concerned, the answer is the same: Mr. Hughes is the man who should be chosen from each and every standpoint—both as the representative of the Republican party and as an individual. The best interests of the country are to be served by his election. Mr. Harvey calls attention to the fact that the utter absence of self-seeking on the part of Mr. Hughes throughout his entire career, confirms the belief that he does, in fact, from the very nature of his being, stand for "America first." On the other hand, no less surely and most disappointingly, happenings of the past two years culminating in the betrayal of his country for the gratification of personal ambition, prove incontestably that Mr. Wilson stands for Wilson first. That is Mr. Earver's opinion. In his judgment A FAKE SUBSCRIPTION SOLICITOR. There is one George H. Todd operating in Eastern North Carolina as an agent of The Journal and Guide. He has been receiving subscriptions without making returns for the same. We wish to state that Geo. H. Todd is unknown to us, has never been authorized to solicit subscriptions for The Journal and Guide, and is evidently a fraud.

W. F. Cummings on September 18th, 1914. At that time I was a great sufferer and almost an invalid, having heart disease, kidney disease, asthma, and a general complication. I was unable to sleep at night and suffered with swelling of the limbs. I was not able to walk a great distance as my heart would palpitate too rapidly. I tried the physicians, both white and colored and found no relief. The last physician whom I went to see advised me to give up all my house work and go to some quiet spot, as medicines would do me very little, if any good. About that time I saw Rev. Cummings and had a talk with him. He advised me to begin his treatment at once and I would soon feel better. I did so and although my recovery has not been so rapid as some owing to the complication of diseases, yet I can say that through the help of the Lord and Rev. Cummings, I find my health very greatly improved, so much so that I am not only able to care for my own home but assist him as nurse in the Sanitarium for six months. I cheerfully recommend the German Bath System to all who suffer from ills of the body. May the Lord bless this work and may Rev. Cummings live long to carry on this noble work.

The LYNNHAVEN CAEE 609 Queen St., Norfolk, Va. Telephone 3035 Mrs. Ollie Shadrack Slaughter, who has been spending some time with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Shadrack of 742 Lexington street, has returned to Philadelphia to spend the winter with her brother "Having in view the possibility of further aggression upon the territory of the United States from Mexico and the necessity for this proper protection of that frontier," President Wilson on June 18 called on the mobile arms of the national guard for federal service. He did not call them out at their existing peace strength, but at war strength, which is practically double. Lacking a system of reserves, the national guard organizations immediately had to start a campaign of recruiting to bring about the desired increase in their numbers. Patriotic young citizens under the urge of the cry, "Your country needs you!" volunteered for service in gratifying numbers. According to Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the senate committee on military affairs, the result is that about 135,000 citizen soldiers have been mustered into the federal service and are now on the Mexican border or in camp in their home states. There may be more, but the administration refuses to make known the exact figures. The movement is costing the public treasury many millions of dollars; it is costing the individual citizen soldiers many millions more. They went to the front believing the cry, "Your country needs you," for war service. They sacrificed advancement in their civil occupations, severed home ties, suffered in thousands of instances great financial loss. The less patriotic, who did not believe the cry or, believing, declined to make sacrifices, fatten at home on these losses. The real purposes of the call are slowly developing. They are two in number: First.—A patrol of the border to do the work which President Wilson's friend, Carrauzan, finds it impossible to do. Because the recognized government in Mexico is too ineffective to keep its own citizens in check and prevent them murdering Americans on American soil the American government undertakes the costly task of doing that work for them. The murder of American citizens on Mexican soil is another matter. Carrauzan may go as far as he likes in that direction. Second.—A purpose of the mobilization on the border and in the camps is to train citizens to perform effective military service. The regular military establishment of the nation is manifestly too small for the actual military needs. To this extent the cry, "Your country needs you," was correct. of these facts were not made clear when the call was issued. The idea was promulgated that men were needed for actual war service, not for military training. Decit was practiced. Opposing in the open legislation for universal military service, the administration by its acts has established what in essence is a system of compulsory military service. It is a system all the more vicious because it operates only against the patriotic, whereas a legalized universal training system equalizes the burden of military service among all men and all classes of men. When in 1914 Europe plunged into the greatest war of all history and conditions in Mexico grew intolerable intelligent men realized the fact that it was incumbent on this nation to build up its tiny regular army and put its other military resources in condition for use. National safety demanded this. And yet in December of that year, four months after the European war began, President Wilson went before congress and declared that all agitation for military preparedness was hysterical; that we were adequately prepared. After awhile the administration changed its mind and professed to believe in the necessity for preparedness. First came an enactment to increase the regular army by 20,000. But the body of the country, and even all parts of the Democratic administration, could not change front so quickly as the head. Recruiting for the regular army lagged. Not yet have the 20,000 been secured. The need pressed. A new national defense act, providing for still more men in the regular army, was enacted. But still the men were not forthcoming. Suddenly and without warning the administration issued its call for mobilization of the citizen soldiers. It seemed still obsessed with the Bryan notion that an army could be created by presidential utase. When the call went out the government did not own enough uniforms, shoes, socks, blankets, hats, wagons, trucks, horses, mules and other things essential to equip the men called. It had made no provision for transporting the troops called to the points where they were required. Who suffered most by this amazing lack of foresight, this leaping before looking? Only the 135,000 patriots who believed that their country needed them for national defense; only the men who are making the great sacrifices. The whole disgraceful story may be annumed up in the phrase, the administration has penalized patriotism. True; it is accumulating by subterfuge a reserve of trained soldiers, but events have demonstrated that it cried "wolf." when there was no wolf. Should it be forced to cry "wolf" again, when the wolf is at the door, what will be the result? "Yes sir. He's like the patriarchs. Which iv them? All iv them.

Now the choir has what Wudthrow calls 'the vital stuffs iv life'. Stone an' McAdoo; Danylels i' Jim Ham Lewis, wild Redfield for the high falsetto. Wudthrow slits wid his hands crossed while the stuffs sings songs iv praise, an' Col. House winds the Vlethrola. "Wudthrow is fond iv music, but Colonel House himself is the quiet man. Faith avh he danced a Clog on a Washbiller ye'd niver hear a sound. "Well, wan night in August the Colonel come tiptoein' in through the basement dure. "How's the game, Colonel? says Wudthrow. 'So-so,' the Colonel says. 'Ye might round up a few more votes,' says he, scratchin' his ear wid an absent nr. "Ain't I get the full dinner-pall?' axes Wudthrow, anxious like. 'All that's forgot the first two year and a half,' says House pleasantly. 'Ain't I keep 'em out of war?' axes Wudthrow. 'Part o' the time,' says House, rubbin' his left skin wid the felt-slipper on his right foot. 'Ain't my voice our greatest liquid asset?' axes Wilson earnestly. 'It's some voice,' says House, 'but a lot of suckers can't tell a asset from an inability,' the Colonel says. "F'what are ye drivein' at? says Wilson, four fushing a little. "Arre ye watchin' the strike?' says House. 'Half a millyn votes might be useful,' says House, tippeln' out through the dure, an closin' ut behind him. "Well, Sir, he left Wudthrow sunk in profound midtashun. At last he spakes. 'I hear,' he says, in a low sweet tone 'that vice' in the people, which is to me as the vice of a Carnegie Penshun.' 'Oh,' he says, thrillin' in fry nerve, 'must I indade sacrycee wan more idol,' says he, 'on the altar iv me Country!' says Wudthrow. "Was not the Wan Turn Plank, he says; 'an' the Sugar Tax, he says; 'an' the Tariff for Rev-noo, he says; 'an' all my friends, beside' he says, 'sixteen perly good Mexican Policies—was not all thim enough?' he axes in agony. 'But I will purge me Heart iv fry personal tonight,' says he, 'startin' for bad. An' before he retires he takes a Heart Purge if his own invshun the way it wurk while he sleeps. I dianam f'what the purge is. 'Tis a secret. "In the morn he was puzzled. He wanted a gr-reat sacryfise of a pur-rincliple, dear to his heart, but he'd used most iv thim already, an' he felt that this was no time for second hand or slightly damaged sacryfises. So he sends for House, 'Colonel,' says he, "Fwhat pur-rincliple dyr think wud be an' acceptable sacryfise in this gr-reat morel imargincy?" he axes anxiously. "Whisper,' says the Colonel. And he said wun ward in Wudthrow's ear, and faded silently away through the dure. "For wan instant Wudthrow stud spellbound. Thin he burrst into a whoop; 'The Ram in the Bushes,' cries he wild tears iv jy. "Twas an impressive ceremony whin the sacryfise was solemny-ised at the Capitol. "The procession started 'from the White House wid the Pristidist walkin' ahead carryin' the Ram in wan hand an' a box iv Safety-First matches in th' other. He was followed by a coon bearin' four 'gold pans, and behind came four Union Chiefs ridin' on milk white steeds followed be a group iv Railroad Pristidists, Stock Holders, Farmers, Shippers and Conshumers, loaded wid chalus. After a short sermon to Congress on 'Furgin' the Heart,' the Pristidist laid the Ram on th' alter, an' imprissively stabbed it wid the four gold pans while the choir sang Holy, Holy, Holy. The Pristidist handed the gold pans to the four chiefs wid a bow; Jim Ham lit the wood an' wiped up the blood, an' the sacryfse was complete. "What was the Ram? say ye. Twas a pet baste Wudthrow used to graze in the White House lawn. Twas th' Idol iv his heart. He named it Arbitrashun. It was the Ram, an' all the people was the goat." Mr. Wilson has become so thoroughly neutral that he looks with grave suspicion on the American contention in any international dispute.
