Truths Stated In A Terse Manner Truths Stated In A Terse Manner "We think our civilization near its meridian," says Emerson, "but we are yet only at the cook crowing and the morning star." No man thinks his own thought; no man uses his own eyes; no man stands upon his own feet; no man walks alone. We go in flocks; we lean on others; we follow the multitude blindly; we bend our necks to the yoke of public opinion. We have no self-reliance; the only virtue we have is conformity. The demand of the age is for men and women of character who are self-poised, self-reliant, independent and self assertive. Society follows custom and routine. The redemption of the race is in the originality of individuals. It is educated men of independence of thought to whom the world is indebted for its advancement. They originate new ideas, and stick to them till they prevail. In every sphere of human life and activity there is today a call to educated men for this service. All that our race has hitherto accomplished or undertaken is but the promise and prelude of the achievements and tasks which remain for you Nor is the summons to higher service or the opportunity for it given to men alone. The position of women in any community is one of the tests of civilization. That criterion, I do not hesitate to say, is satisfied by the American people better than by any other nation on the face of the globe. But this is not the only measure of a nation's progress. There is another requirement, not less vital or fundamental. The second test of the civilization which any society has attained is the condition of its laboring men and women. Can these earn a decent livelihood? And have they the leisure requisite for recreation, amusement and intellectual improvement? Every child that is born must have a just chance for his bread. Every worker "is entitled to rest, health and entertainment. Would you abolish poverty? Would you advance civilization? Then educate individuals, one by one, to be more virtuous, more intelligent, more industrious and skillful. Nor let us forget that leaders are indispensable—moral leaders, scientific leaders and industrial leaders. How much expert leaders may do for industry we are just beginning to see in the wonderful demonstrations recently furnished by scientific management. And as to science, though, it has been long in the world, only a few persons realize how much it has added to the comfort and happiness of the toiling multitudes. In this age of the world the scientist is the greatest reformer.—Extracts from the speech of President Jacob Gould Schurman, to the 747 graduates of Cornell University, Class of 1911. BELLEOY NOW PROFESSOR Japanese "Front" Leaves Hotel To Teach in University. A good looking, quiet mannered Japanese, who usually sat on the end of the bellboy's bench waiting the call of "Front" in a Boston hotel. will carry bags for guests no longer. It became known that it was only recently he sailed on the Romanic on his return to Japan, where he will be known as Professor Yoshio Tanikawa, head of the department of philosophy in the University of Kioto, Yoshio, as he was known to the patrons of the hotel, received the degree of Master of Arts from Harvard University last year after a year in the graduate school, having previously obtained his bachelor's degree an educational institution in Minneapolis. The young Japanese refused to tell why he became a bellboy. When asked whether it was on account of the money he earned or the chance it gave him to study practical philosophy, he merely smiled. Professor Tanikawa, who, in addition to being a student and bellboy, has also been a special commissioner of the Japanese Buddhist Charitable Association, occupied a first cabin stateroom on the Romantic. He will return to Japan by easy stages, visiting the more important of the charitable institutions of the larger European countries. Ingenloue Old Woman Tries Her Hand at a Little Home Dentistry. Shoe-button eyes are frequently seen on the woolly dogs, cats and other animals sold for toys, penwipers and pincushions, but shirt button teeth worn by a human being are a decided novelty. The only set ever made is worn by an old woman living in Pittsfield, Mass. Finding herself unable to buy a new set of false teeth she was driven by necessity to make them. She had worn for many years a gold plate, a relic of more prosperous days. This plate bore only four teeth, two on each side. In course of time her remaining front teeth fell out and she decided to try her hand at a little home dentistry. With infinite care and trouble she drilled eight tiny holes in the plate by means of which she firmly attached four white bone buttons of the proper size to it with strong linen thread. The "makehift" teeth, as she called them, were a great success, and when fitted in place in her mouth it took a second glance to tell how they differed from the ordinary dentist-made molars. As the edges of the buttons wear away with use she turns them upside down. When one is accidentally broken it is easily replaced, as she keeps a stock of bone buttons on hand for the purpose. STYLE IN ENGLISH NECKWEAR Broad-Ended Tie Has Been Rage for Half Decade and Is Likely to Continue. For the last half decade the broad-ended tie made from the piece has been the rage in England, and haberdashers will not look at anything else. Its vogue is likely to continue for another year or two, particularly as it is to the interests of both manufacturers and dealers to keep it going as long as possible. This type of tie has a maximum length in England of 42 inches, the average for such four-in-hands being 36 to 38 inches. A good grade of Irish poplin tubular the retails at about 50 cents, the highest quality Irish poplin, however, which comes in the piece, when made up, retails at about 75 cents. Other styles are priced at 60, 45 and 35 cents, and ties of these classes are to be found in the men's furnishings stores of any of the larger British cities. Wholesalers pay about $2.90 per dozen for ties that retail at 45 cents each, and sell them to the dealers at $3.40 per dozen, less two and one-half per cent.

Dennehy, of Chicago, recently elected President of the National Wholesale Liquor Dealers' Association of America, stands for license, regulation and control of the liquor business. His election at the recent convention of the association held at Hotel Sherman, Chicago, was unanimous, and the result of his aggressiveness in pushing the campaign now being waged by the association for license, regulation and control. Mr. Dennehy is the president of China Dennehy & Co., of Chicago, and has been connected with that firm for 30 of its 50 years' existence. DIVE KEEPERS WORK TO KEEP OUT SALOONS Birmingham, Ala.—The committee in charge of circulating local option petitions for Jefferson county is meeting with the determined opposition of the organized blind-tiger keepers and bootleggers. Under the state-wide prohibition law, which was repealed this year by the legislature, Birmingham became overrun with bootlegging and dives. Because of the cosmopolitan population of Birmingham and surrounding mining and furnace towns, these illegal liquor sellers have been making enormous profits from the sale of cheap whisky. With the return of saloons they see their business destroyed, and are making a final stand against local option by joining with the prohibitionists against the return of the legalized saloon. ANTI-SALOON AGENTS RAISE ELECTION FUND Baltimore, Md.—Supporters of the Anti-Saloon League, of Maryland, have offered that organization $4,000 in event that the organization raise another $6,000 to be used in the campaign fund for the election of the local option candidates for governor and the legislature. Members of the Anti Saloon League say the fund will be raised, and will be used in connection with the regular campaign fund. Supporters of the liquor interests in Maryland will advocate the passage of a corrupt practices bill, having a provision requiring the Anti-Saloon League to make statements giving the names of contributors to its campaign funds, and the methods of the expenditure of its funds in seeking to influence legislation against the liquor business. HAVE QUEER SUBSTITUTE FOR WHISKY IN KANSAS. Fishberry Product Makes Kansas "Drys" Cut Up Odd Capers. St. Louis.—United States revenue officials and inspectors of the Kansas board of health are looking in Topeka for a man with a new recipe for a whisky substitute. The substitute is an ideal "dry" state beverage. It calls for rain water, fishberries, prune Department of Archives, Cam- lton, W. Va. er P BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED JULY 22, 1911. juice and ginger. It does not contain alcohol, but, being sold in imitation of whisky, comes under the jurisdiction of both departments. The fishberries are the active ingredients. They are an intoxicating poison, and if taken in sufficient quantities will cause death. If only a moderate amount 's taken, the liquor will make a man do more foolish things than any real whisky ever caused. It takes a very small quantity of the liquor to get results. CALLED FOR BUTTERMILK—GETS PITCHER OF BEER. Atlanta, Ga.—Mrs. Mary Winn Smoots, of Texas, received a shock in a local restaurant when she called for buttermilk and a pitcher of beer was placed before her. Mrs. Smoots is a Texas temperance worker, and came to Georgia to investigate the operations of the prohibition laws. The waiter who served Mrs. Smoots was at a loss to understand why she should object to the pitcher of beer, as he had become accustomed to serve the amber fluid whenever a patron called for buttermilk. A NEW POINT OF VIEW. It is to be hoped that the Legislature of Georgia will order an investigation of the double lynching which occurred in the state recently. Responsibility for failure to protect two Negro prisoners who were awaiting trial seems to be somewhat divided. It is reported that Governor Brown offered to furnish troops to guard one of the victims and had ordered out the militia previously when the same defendant was summoned into court. The trial was postponed, and on the defendant's second appearance the judge is said to have ignored the Governor's offer, having already shown that he did not want his court put under military guard. The judge now blames the Sheriff and the Sheriff blames the judge. If the Legislature calls them both to account it will be a welcome sign that public opinion is no longer willing to tolerate the sort of official negligence which makes such lynchings possible. It is significant that the Supreme Court of Alabama recently removed from office a Sheriff who failed to protect a prisoner from mob violence. The court unanimously held that he had fallen short in the performance of his sworn duty and had permitted the dignity of the judicial establishment to be outraged. That stand was in line with the precedent set by the Supreme Court of the United States, which imposed a prison sentence on the Sheriff of Hamilton County, Tenn., for not using due diligence in protecting the life of a prisoner whose appeal from a sentence of death was pending at Washington. When the Sheriff got out of the District of Columbia jail and went home to Chattanooga he was received at the railroad station by an unthinking crowd as a "hero." But the Supreme Court's example has struck in. It is not so popular as it once was for local officials to sit back and see a prisoner lynched with a shrug of resignation, if not of relief. Governor Harmon removed a Mayor and a Sheriff in Newark, Ohio, for not trying to check a mob bent on lynching. It now devolves on Georgia to show that it is not behind Ohio and Alabama in insisting upon a performance of their duties by officials charged with the care of prisoners. There will be fewer lynchings when such officials realize that they must VOL. 30. Anecdotal Literature HIS SENSIBILITIES OFFENDED. In the year 1796, when the ship Duff was making ready to sail from London with missionaries to India, a fine looking boy called upon the captain, and said, "Sir, I would like very much to go out with you as cabin boy." The captain asked him if he had the consent of his parents. /He replied that he had. "You are a likely looking chap" remarked the captain, "but I fear you may be a good hand at swearing, and that I could not allow where so many missionaries are on the ship." Shocked at the very idea of such a thing, the boy burst into tears and exclaimed, "Sir, "if I thought there would be sweating aboard at all, I would not go." WHY MALINDA REJOICED. Booker T. Washington, after a visit to the Metropolitan Museum in New York told this story: A Kentucky lady, with her servant, visited the museum. Malinda had never seen an art gallery, and the nudes startled her in a way that would have endeared her to the heart of Mr. Comstock. But when she entered the hall of sculpture, then she was more than startled. "Land," she said, "Land Sakes!" and with dubious shakes of the head; she passed before the white beauty of the Venus de Malo, and the other gracious shapes of snowy marbles. "Land Sakes!" she exclaimed. "Don't you like it. Malinda," said her mistress. "Yes!m" said Maliada, "Ah like it well enough, but Ah's powerful glad dar isn't none of my color here." August Beerman, the new Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, said at an Elks banquet. "The guilty man always gives himself away, for like the chap who bought the forty cent bathing suit, he can't hide his guilty conscience. The chap entered the water at Atlantic City in his forty cent suit of blue flannel. As he splashed about he was joined by a girl friend. The girl flashed her bright eyes over the tumbling expanse of the sea, and then, with a sight of delight she said: "Isn't the water blue today?" "It's shameful," said the man with a hot blush,—it's particularly shameful how this cheap bathing flannel runs." COMPLIMENT TO A DOUBLE. Mr. Roosevelt, on his famous visit to the Pennsylvania mines, met one of his doubles. As he gave the double a hearty handshake, he laughed and said. "I'm delighted to meet you. I think you look more like me than any of my other doubles. In fact, the resemblance is perfect, and I have no doubt, that if you stood before me in a frame, I could shave you. pay the penalty if they fail to do their utmost to uphold the majesty of the law.—New York Tribune.

Bowing at the alter and taking communion! Good Lord! what will the harvest be? There is going to be a terrific clap of thunder from an unclouded sky in this neck of the woods before long. Two songs in two churches were sung at the same time, both churches close together. The whites were singing: "Will there be any stars in my crown?", and a little further on the blacks were singing: "No! not one." The segregated Chevy Case, had a tragedy Sunday last. Negroes are not allowed there, but lightning is and it made a white man a black man in the twinkle of an eye. Color is only skin deep. How the country would have mourned bad it been President Taft. How like a christian country this Baltimore led off in its sanctification of segregation. Richmond caught the inspiration and baptised itself with Baltimore's new doctrine, and new Norfolk declares that its only hope of making that city heavenly the same thing must be done there. Blessings of Sodom and Gomorrah be thine—ye there. The Baltimore Sun and our town papers gave a glowing account of the opening of that Hedgesville sanatorium, informing the people generally, and the poor suffering souls, that "Dr. P. Franklin Scott, of Washing ton, was there" et cetera. We feel almost certain that Mr. Perry Scott, who never studied medicine and knows nothing about that business, does not want such a false statement put in circulation. Some say it was Gravizd. --- Bert Williams is the world's greatest comedian, Jack Johnson its greatest fighter, Major Taylor its champion bicycle rider, Tanner its finest painter, Cable its greatest hammer thrower, Mendiz its best baseball player, Widgeon among its greatest scientists, Elijah McCoy its foremost patentee, Dr. Blyden its ripest scholar, Negro soldiers its best and bravest and the race its best interpreters of music. If fifty years following slavery can witness the above, what will a hundred years to come tell? The other week two colored men went into a certain restaurant on Washington, D. C. One was real dark, and a South American Negro. The other was about three-fourths white, and an American Negro. The proprietor refused them both. The brighter of the two yielded, but the darker, the forcigner, demanded his in strong French language, and the clerk looked at him strangely for a time, then went back to the proprietor and said what we know not, but How long will the white man want to play master, and the Negro the slave? There should be Negro clerks at the polls on every election; mail carriers; police men, a deputy sheriff, and last, but not least, a school commissioner. Just how much interest the school board has in the colored children is soo in the old-war time, one story funny school house, with an old board fence fronting Martin street, fit to keep bulls inside. Every ward in town has fine buildings and a grammar school when they get through the ward schools, but give Negro children diplomas when they get through the one story Negro school. One of the best things to teach boys and girl while young, is to get up early in the morning, and after washing and combing their hair, have something for them to do, and by all means teach them to do it well. To some, it may not be life of a bed of roses in their early days, but the time will come, when, above other things, they will thank their parents most for having so taught them. There may be more, but we have one tot in our mind of this city, whose future we hope this community will watch—he is Mr. M. A. Snodgrass's boy, and we sincerely wish all other boys would try to equal him. Damning Evidence. "Madam," says the agent of the black hand, "we have a photograph of you and Count de Gayleigh riding in an automobile. Send $10,000 to us or we will publish the picture." "What care I?" haughtily says the lady. "The Count is a gentleman in every way and, besides, he is going to marry my daughter. There can be no scandal connected with my riding with him." "That's not the point. It was an 1908 model car." With a low moan the unfortunate woman sank to the floor, after giving a feeble indication that on reviving from her faint she would write a check for the bush money.—Life. Opium In Barrel Staves. Through some clever work on the part of the customs secret service men 199 cans of opium hidden in the staves of barrels containing lamp blacking were seized recently and the would-be importer and his assistants were arrested. As the staves of the barrels were rather thick just in the center instead of being hollowed out, the smugglers had carved out a small sort of pocket large enough to contain a narrow can of opium in each stave. When the staves were det together it was impossible to see these openings.—Manila Times. Then He Struck. A few days ago a second-class stoker was paraded before the commanding officer of the Devonport naval barracks on a charge of insubordination. His insubordination took the form of resistance to being introduced to the swimming bath. Asked what he had to say for himself, the youth replied: "Sir, I've only bin in the navy three days. The first day the doctor drawn six of my teeth. The second day I was vaccinated. And the third day the petty officer he says, 'Cum along, we're going to drown yer!'"—London Truth.

The market value of black cats is rising rapidly, owing to the fact that their fur is greatly in demand for the making of ladies' cloaks, hats, muffs, capes and other articles of dress. In the London market attractive prices are being paid for black cat sking; in fact, the price is so very attractive that organized gents of cat thieves are going from town to town on the south coast of England in search of dusky felines. Within the past week or two the "Lose" columns of newspapers in New York and elsewhere have recorded the disappearance of some fine black cats, family pets, for the return of which large rewards and "no questions asked" were offered. Of course there may be no connection between the increasing value of black cats and the disappearance of family pets, but the owners of black cats may be acting wisely in keeping an eye on "Topsy" or "Smut" until the market price for black cat fur touches rock bottom. LATEST MODEL WORKABOUT Farmer Creates Some Excitement by Appearing on Streets With Rig of Own Invention. Walter Laufair, a farmer living on Dewey street, Fatham, created some excitement by riding through the town in a "workabout" of his own invention. It consisted of a body placed on four rubber tired wheels with a single seat on which he rode. This rig was propelled by the occupant working his arms back and forth after the manner of a person on a hand car, and that was the only apparent source of power in the movement of the "workabout." There was a sort of a gear arrangement under the body of the rig, but just to what extent it operated was not visible to the onlooker. Mr. Laufair coasted down hills and seemed to experience no difficulty in climbing others, so that the machine worked to advantage both ways. At all events he was the envy of a small army of school children who ran after him and his "workabout" until he disappeared over the hill.—Springfield Republican, A Dignified Function. George Ade was out walking with a guide in Kleto, Japan, when he observed a great procession approaching, and he paused while it passed. The people wore gay apparel, and carried banners with Japanese inscriptions. Their faces were grave. They were mournfully chanting to the accompaniment of tomtems, cymbals and drums. It was a long procession. Ade took off his hat with due respect to the unknown dead. Finally he turned to his guide and asked: "Buddha?" The guide shook his head. "Shinto?" inquired Ade. Again the guide shook his head. "Was not that a funeral procession?" asked Ade. "No," said the guide. "That's the way of advertising. It is tooth powder for sale."—The Sunday Magazine. Bitterly Disappointed. Here's a story in the week's annals of Maine merchants, this time from Portland. A Portland tradesman was visited by a friend from the country and among attempts to entertain took the visitor to the theater. When the lights were low the merchant quietly drew forth a pair of opera glasses and handed them to his guest. A contented "Ah" slipped from the man from the country and then his arms in the air were faintly discernible. "What's the trouble?" asked the host. The answer came in a distressingly plain whisper of disappointment: "Oh, nothing, only the thing's empty." Vacations for Cattle. In western Australia one farmer may be heard to inquire of another whether he has as yet sent his cattle on their vacation, and what is meant is just what is asked. Those farmers who live anywhere near the coast—and in Australia "near" might mean a distance that would startle dwellers in other lands—send their cattle for a month or six weeks' holiday at the seashore each summer. The change of air and food is said to be extremely beneficial. The grass on the coast is impregnated with salt and has the effect of a tonic on the animals. Harper's Weekly.

It is excellent, and is destined to do incalculable good. In fiction it gets at facts as they exist, and outlines the real bulk of the causes of the trouble and friction between the two races. It is bound to be read the world over and will serve well its purpose.* It took a strong mind and a fertile brain to plan and write this book which Henry Watterson, the great editor says is phenomenal, and will be read by as many white as colored people—just as it should be, for the real and proper settlement, of the so-called problem, is interdependent—one upon the other. It is written in a time as ripe to make it almost as popular as did the period that immortalized Uncle Tom's Cabin. Get the book and read it. It only costs $1.60. Address the author as given above.

Blood Was Wrong Blood Was Wrong All women, who suffer from the aches and pains, due to female ailments, are urged to try Cardui, the reliable scientific, tonic remedy, for women. Cardui acts promptly, yet gently, and without bad effects, on the womanly system, relieving pain, building up strength, regulating the system, and toning up the nerves. During the past half century, thousands of ladies have written to tell of the quick curative results they obtained, from the use of this well-known medicine. TAKE CARDUI The Woman's Tonic Mrs. Jane Callehan suffered from womanly trouble for nearly ten years. In a letter from Whiteville, N. C., she says: "I was not able to do my own housework. My stomach was weak, and my blood was wrong. I had backache, and was very weak. I tried several doctors, but they did me no good. I used Cardui for 3 or 4 months, and now I am in the best health I have ever been. I can never praise Cardui enough." It is the best tonic, for women. Whether seriously sick, or simply weak, try Cardui.
