A VOLUME XXX. NUMBER 23. NEGROES MAY LIVE IN WHITE BLOCKS Judge Elliott, finds the West segregation Law in indefinite—Charge is Dismissed Against Colored Man. Through an opinion by Judge Elliott, handed down today, a colored lawyer has knocked out the West segregation law in the first round. Judge Elliott, sitting in the Criminal Court, decided in favor of John H. Garry, the defendant in an indictment found against him last year, charging that as a colored man he unlawfully moved into"a residence at 581 Laureus Street. The ordinance was knocked out on its lack of definition of what is a white and what is a colored block and the question of the constitutionality of such a law was not touched upon. ATTORNEY HAWKINS' GREAT EFFORT W. Ashby Hawkins, a colored law yer defended the demurrer whila Gurry made to the indictment and Assistant State's Attorney Horton Smith represented the state. The best of the City Council's skill in framing a law to protect the interest of the whites was not good enough to withstand the first attack upon it. The court also does not hesitate to ridicule the framers of the bill when it says that, while the court does not concern itself with the considerations which may have suggested the enactment of the ordinance. It is possible the evident difficulty of securing the objects which the framers may have had in view, that in the endeavor to please certain interests they have overlooked the rights of the citizens generally. SUSTAINED DEMURBER. The court sustained the demurrer, it declared, because there is no such reasonable interpretation of the ordinance now before it as to make amenable to its penalty the defendant who, admitting the facts sent out in the indictment, denies any liability thereunder. It is necessary, said the court, that when it is proposed to make criminal an act not so at common law it must be defined and limited in such a way that there shall be no doubt as to what is meant by the provisions of the prohibition. Therefore, a "colored block" and a "white block" must be defined beyond possible dispute. The law merely says it is unlawful for any colored person to move into or use as a residence any house situated in a block used as a residence "in whole or in part by white persons." The phrase "in whole or in part" is, therefore, the limiting or defining clause, and as such is not held by the court to be definite o-nough. A RIDICULOUS PROPOSITION "It is needless to remark," said the court, "that the same block could be, as a great many blocks now are, occupied at the same time in part by colored persons and in part by white persons and by the law it would then be unlawful for either white or colored persons to move into or remain in the block. So that every block in the city containing at the present time both white and colored persons would become depopulated upon any enforcement of the ordinance. When then by definition of the ordinance a block can be at the same time both a white block and colored block, it would seem unnecessary to say that the ordinance is invalid and unenforceable to punish either white or colored persons."—Baltimore Star, April 24, 1913. DRAKES BRANCH (VA.) NEWS. R. G. D. Leak preached a vory impressive sermon at Wheeler Prophterian Church Sunday to a large congregation. All felt benefited by turning out. The high school building at Charlotte C. H. will soon begin. It is under the skillful management of Rev. Leak and plans are to open school in it rather than the church the coming Fall. Willie Wilson, son of Mrs. Francis Gaines of this place, whose home is in Dayton, Ohio cannot be heard from since the recent disaster in that city. He had lived there a number of years and was employed in an automobile shop. Any information concerning him will be gladly received by Mrs. Gaines. The teachers' examination commenced here last week and many applicants as well as old teachers were examined. Claims Ten Million Dollars Hon. John Phillips, the distinguished Englishman and patron of The Anglo-American Finance Corporation of this city, who has been in Holland and sailed recently for this country has succeeded after two years labor in having the British government take up the matter of a ten-million dollar, loan made to Guatemala by the British capitalists which he represents. Mr. Phillips will soon be in Richmond again. The matter will prove to be of special interest at this time. The following telegraphic report to the New York Sun explains itself: Washington, April 28.—Guatemala made an appeal to-day to the United States against British reprisals for non-payment of debts. This appeal puts squarely before President Wilson the necessity of deciding whether he will stand between the debtor Central American republics and their foreign creditors or turn them over to Europeans and let the latter do as they please. Guatemala's appeal for help was made by Minister Mendez and Antonio Bates Jauregny special envoy to the United States for the Presidential inauguration and other matters, notably the negotiation of a loan. They informed acting Secretary of State Moore that Great Britain had delivered to their President, Manuel Astrada Cabrera, an ultimatum demanding immediate action. The British demand is in effect that the Guatemalans take some steps at once to settle the long outstanding indebtedness to British subjects or else for trouble from the British government after May 1. The appeal of the Guatemalan representative was that the United States Government take up the matter with Great Britain and prevent the humiliation of Guatemala by her creditor. The Guatemalans believe the United States should do this for them under the Monroe Doctrine, and to prevent Great Britain from establishing herself in a Central American country through the collection of debts. The situation involved in the appeal of the Guatemalans for help against Great Britain is one of the most notorious of all the financial histories of the little Southern republic and it is one which has been a cause of constant concern to the Government of the United States and Great Britain for many years. Guatemala owes more than $10,000,000, including principal and interest in a years, on her foreign debt alone the bonds of which are held in London. In 1895 Guatemala floated these bonds to pay off her debts and guaranteed the interest by levying a special tax of $1.50 mquintal on coffee exportation. This interest was paid for three years, but not since December, 1898. Likewise the coffee tax, which was fixed irrovocably, has frequently been changed, and it has also been pledged to secure other financial obligations. The British Government for years has been pressing on the Guatemalan Government the necessity of making a settlement. The United States has assisted the British Government in these representations and has several times interfered with Great Britain on behalf of Guatemala. This interference has been the result of promises made by Guatemala that a loan would be negotiated in an amount sufficient not only to pay off the British claims, but also to reform the currency and pay for certain much heeded public works. For more than three years this has been the status of the situation, the United States keeping British hands off by assuring that Government that Guatemala was about to make a new loan. Proposals for a loan were laid before Guatemala in 1910 by G. W. Young and Co., J. W. Sellgman & Co., and Minor C. Keith, all of New York, but no loan contract has been signed after three years of dickering. As a result of this long delay in the face of repeated promises that the loan would be negotiated, charges have been made that Guatemala has been acting in bad faith and that President Cabrera did not intend to make any loan or meet his Government's obligations as long as he could play the United States and Great Britain against each other. The Taft Administration became wearied by Guatemala's repeated de faults and delays. This was made clear in Mr. Taft's message to Congres last December, when he wrote that if the Guatemalan Government did not take advantage of the way open to her to satisfy the just British claims "it may become impossible for the Government of the United States to escape its obligations in connection with such measures as may become necessary to enact justice to legitimate foreign claims." This was interpreted in Guatemala as a threat that if a loan was not made and the financial finances reorganized the United States would cease to stand as a buffer between Guatemala and her long suffering creditors. Great Britain this time apparently is intent upon drastic action in the event or further delay. Rev. N. S. Morris Returned to Third Street A. M. E. Church. Rev. S. S. Morris has been returned to the pastorate of Third St. A. M. E. Church for another year to the defight of his parishoners and the citizens of Richmond generally. During the past week Rev.

Dear Editor: I have been waiting long and patiently for a reply to Editor Jones' Inquiry, Who Care? and it appears that no one care since there has been nothing said. But the fact remains that the people in most rural places at once admit all Editor Jones says is true. I want to ask who cares for other conditions that are very humiliating to say the least. We were in a certain little town just a few days past and after two or three hour hours we went to the station to await the train. After purchasing our ticket, being very tired we next sought a seat to rest but had noticed some friends of ours strolling on the outside and when I turned to sit down in the little room marked "Colored" behold the baggage and express had half the room and something that gave an odor very much like bad fresh fish-made it well nigh impossible to remain, therefore nearly all the colored passengers walked around outside. This is the most important passenger station in the county so far as colored people are concerned. We were at a certain station in the Winter to wait the train and the room marked "Colored" was not opened at all. White folks warmed by the fire in their side. Now., Mr. Editor, I want to ask, "Who Care?!" and is there no remedy for this evil? Now we notice you said the Civil Rights Bill passed in New York would grind out Negro Democrats. Well, if our people have a love for human privileges, which some have, it will grind out population for the State as well. Respectfully, the voice from the back woods. E. B. JOHNSON Mrs. Matilda Jones Lald. to Best. The funeral of Mrs. Matilda Jones, who departed this life Tuesday, April 22, 1913, 7:10 P. M. at her residence. 2 W.

The Hippodrome, near the corner of Second and Leigh St, is a place of beauty. The magnificent building fitted up for the colored people is one of the most palatial ever erected in this city. The electric sign on the front is a marvel of beauty and a flood of light, illuminating that neighborhood tells the whereabouts of this modern playhouse as far as the eye can reach. The programme each night with its many variations is on modern lines and will continue to induce patronage. The management has taken a long step forward and the colored people of this community should appreciate the effort. New President Graded to Preach at Third St. A. M. E. Church, Rev. O. T. Day, D.

Hudgins is home from Portsmouth, where she has been attending school this Winter. The Old Mands' Convention intimated that the unmarried women are on a hunt for husbands but judging from the actions of the bachelors and widowers, they are on a hunt. We don't know when we'll be able to report another marriage but "the signs of the times" are hopeful in that direction (2). The B. Y. P. L. held its meeting Sunday afternoon. It was well attended an unful. The subject was, "Baptist Bible Work." The reader, Mrs. L. B. Hudgins had secured pamphlets on the subject and after redding and teaching the Bible lesson from Nehemiah 8:1-8, had extracts read on Bible needs, Bible facts, Etc.

Again and again the lawyer pictures to the jury the awful condition of an innocent man in prison. And as soon as the idea is planted in the minds of his hearers the learned, counsel points to his client and says to the foreman of the jury, "There is the innocent man." Doubtless many a man who is today enjoying life at home, would have been numbered among the outcast of the world had it not been for the fact that they saw the picture of the guilty in prison. In order that the crown heads of Europe might aid him financially Christopher Columbus pictured to their minds the advantage in having closer connection with India. He Christ pictured the word of God as a seed and likened the faithful Christian unto a sower that went forth to sow. On another occasion He pict red the Jews as a hen and her brood out in the storm. In order to impress upon us the importance of being ready the Master tells the story of the ten virgins who were invited to a marriage. With our mind's eye we can see the picture with five persons having empty vessels and a sad countenance in hearing distance of the marriage. The expression, "No gains without pain" can be applied to the mind as well as to the increase of our flocks and herds. The world is groping in darkness and ignorance for the lack of individual effort in the right direction. Years ago I was in the city of New York. I went by rail but decided to return "ocean-wine". When I reached the pier I found an immense quantity of "commerce" such as dry goods, teas, spices and drugs ready for shipment. It was after the hour of midnight when we steam ed past the Statue of Liberty. The entire afternoon was spent in storing away these goods. But smugly they were tucked away and between one and two o'clock A. M. our frail bark glued swiftly southward twelve hours to the bad. To the close observer almost at every turn in life within reach are to be found valuable information, noble ideas and friendly suggestions. Those are to be gathered here and yonder as the bee gathers for honey, to be stated away in the mind so that we might be able to reason correctly and act in a manner pleasing to our maker. Once I read a story concerning two boys whose picture and employment were on the opposite page. They were sitting down on the seashore on a long Summer day with their little coats and hats in the sand, sleeves rolled up. They were intently watching their little vessel as it struck out to sea. The author told us what they were thinking about. They thought of the construction and durability of their vessel, where would it land, would it reach the shore in safety, would it withstand the storm, would it land on a rock? They watched it, says the pictures until it disappeared beyond the horizon on the bosom of the trackless deep. We do not spend all our time sowing, at a time we begin to reap. After the building is finished it is occupied. The farmer scatters his grain broadcast, later he returning to reap what he has sown. The engine is steamed and oilled, then the journey. The soldiers disciplined and equipped, then the march. During our life time we are found down by the seashore of time building the frail bark in which we must sail. After the completion we begin our voyage. Happily we may return bringing glad news from the undertaking as did Columbus on his return from America, or we may suddenly disappear in the night as did Str Humphrey Gilbert. I was once sailing upon the high seas and before I retired that night I gazed upon the peaceful waters that fondly lashed themselves against our liner. It was approaching the hour of midnight when I was by the angry billows whose purpose seemed to be destroying our vessel. capped billows rose higher than above our heads. I saw nothing but sudden destruction and when at there was a calm At first the sea was there was a smooth sailing. At later the wind shook. Judas, who betrayed Christ has易 construct a trail dark and commenced his journey. There was at once an up- val and Judas was no more. He called meeting for the purpose binding money with which to erect saw church, with the pastor, "Brethren, we must get together." Not long after that lumber was seen on the yard. Then the pastor said, "We are together." What a good thing it is, says the Scripture, for Brethren to dwell together in unity. "The young men of Florence came together and agreed upon the one thing, i. e., the formation of the O King Lodge, No. 127, Knights of Pythias. At the Temperance Hall on Thursday evening, April 17, 1913 a banquet was given. It proved to be one of the grandest affairs yet witnessed in the city. The choosest of the stock were there. During the day the rays of the sun penetrated the boughs of the rosemary. The atmosphere was dry and invigorating. As we moved along we saw here and there a butterfly. At night the glistening rays of a silver moon kissed the sleeping earth enabling the pedestrian to step clear and firmly. The hall was beautifully decorated with bunting. After the guest were seated the toastmaster, Mr. Robert Bowler rapped for order. The following program was then rendered. PROGRAM Invocation, Rev. C. *P.* Taylor, A.

MAY 8, 1913. Hon. George H. White is being endorsed for one of the judges of the Common Pleas Court Gov. Tenner has the power to appoint. The Philadelphia Tribune professes to know enough about Gov. Tenner's antipathy to the coloured brother to guarantee that the distinguished lawyer's ambition will not be gratified. Well, we'll wait and see. The death of Rev. William J. White, D. D., editor of the Augusta, Ga. Baptist, April 17, 1911, at his home at the age of 80 years, 2 months and 23 days, removes from the field of action one of the most powerful and influential public men in this country. He was a man of stetting worth and unquestioned integrity. His loss to the community in which he lived is great but to the country at large it is greater: We knew him well and we pause to tender this testimonial to his worth, this eulogy to one of the greatest leaders our race has yet produced. Peace to his ashes. --- SEGREGATION LAW UTSET. Judge Elliott of the Criminal Court of Baltimore, Maryland handed down a decision April 24, 1913 declaring the segregation ordinance of that city unconstitutional. Attorney W. Ashble Hawkins, the colored lawyer won a signal victory. He certainly deserves credit for his skill in handling the cases. Judge Elliott says: "While the court does not concern itself with the considerations which may have suggested the enactment of the ordinance. It is possible the evident difficulty of securing the objects which the framers may have had in view, has the accet of confusing them not in the endeavor to. please certain interests they have overlooked the rights of citizens generally." This gives up the situation wherever this confessory, and unconstitutional ordinance has been enacted. The further comment of this parish shows that to enforce the ordinance would be to depopulate certain blocks in Baltimore city and thereby destroy the value of the residential property therein. In order to comply with Judge Elliott's ruling, it would be necessary to specify and label every block in Baltimore as either a white or a colored block. When this is done, the same attention would present itself as is observable upon many of the railway trains in the Southland, where one coach is for colored people and another coach is for white people. The carrying capacity of the white coach with its one hundred passengers is about sixty and the carrying capacity of the colored coach with its twelve passengers is about sixty. The railway company is required to haul an extra coach at a loss or continue to inconvenience the white passengers. A colored block in Baltimore might be overreceded and a white block might be practically vacant, because it is adjacent to a colored neighborhood. In this case the loss would fall on the white people who owned the property. They would either be required to reduce the rent below the profit bearing limit in order to attract white tenants or to continue to lose as a result of the experiment. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has done and is doing a great work in battling against these species of discrimination. We have little to gain and all to lose by supine submission. Our protests against wrong should be made in a way to command respect and factious opposition should have no part in the contention. Elliott has evidently given the subject careful thought and we has analyzed it from every legal angle. It is alleged that an appeal will be taken from his decision by the city's representatives, and that other legislation will also be framed in order to conform to his ruling. Either way, the colored folks have the best of the attention, and the white folks are the greatest sufferers as a result of Baltimore city's folly. Earthquake Jara Canada. A slight earthquake shock was experienced in Montreal, Can, but no damage is reported from any section. The inmates of a hospital in the west end of Montreal, where the movement was most pronounced, were considerably excited. The earthquake was felt at Ottawa. Houses were badly shaken, but no one was killed or injured. The dome of the Ottawa Dominion Observatory collapsed during the earth shock, destroying appalatus valued at $100,000. Charged With Cutting Girl's Hair. William E. Bennett, in lodged in the city jail in Long Branch, N. J., under $1000 hall for a hearing, charged by Miss Ella Bennett with entering her home and cutting off part of her hair. There is considerable mystery about the affair, as young Bennett denies having been in Miss Bennett's home and declares he is being made a scapegoat. Baby Washed 300 Feet Through Pipe. Edna Newman, aged two years, was rescued and resuscitated after being washed through more than 300 feet of sixteen-inch culvert pipe near her home in Windler, near Johnstown, Pa. The child was playing near a creek and fell into the water a few feet above where the creek entered the culvert. --- Berry Appointed Collector of the Port. President Wilson appointed William H.

John Mitchell, one of the most prominent labor leaders in America, achieved celebrity as president of the United Mine Workers of America during the coal strikes in 1900 and 1902. He was asked to accept the nomination as vice president on the ticket with William Jennings Bryan in 1905, but refused. Hangman Bungled. Due to bungling on the part of some one, John Harris, a colored man, on demanded to death, was not executed in Unjontown, Pa., with the humanity that is supposed to characterize hand ing. Harris was placed on the scaffold at the county jail, and when it was springing the rope was about three feet too long. The victim fell to the ground beneath the scaffold, and with the rope around his neck, he landed on his knees, where he remained motionless for several minutes. It was thought the drop had broken his neck until he started to rise to his feet. Then the sheriff and his deputies jumped to the scaffold; pulled up Harris' body by the rope until his feet weed clear of the flooring. For eighteen minutes the condemned man struggled and twisted, his contortions evincing the intense agony of strangling to death. Harris shot and killed a colored man last May. Style $30,000 In Brass Indictments charging embezzlement and grand larceny were returned by the county grand jury in Cleveland, Ohio, against Peter F. Selas, a $60 a month stock clerk at the Cleveland Furnace company. The company charges that he stole $30,000 worth of brass from it, secreting the metal in loads of junk sold to junk dealers. In connection with the case Nathan Komito, a wealthy junk dealer, was indicted on a charge of receiving stolen property. Selas has been living in luxury in a fashionable apartment for the last two years. --- Friedmann Said to Have Sold "Cure." Dr. Friedmann has arranged for the sale of the American rights in his antituberculosis vaccine for $125,000 in cash and $1,000,000 in stock in thirty-six Friedmann institutes to be organized in as many selected states, with a total capitalization of $5,400,000, according to the New York Times. A large wholesale drug firm is named as the purchaser. It was stated at Dr. Friedmann's hotel apartments that all the plans had been made for the distribution of the vaccine, but that the contract has not yet been signed. All the details, it was announced, would be given out by Dr. Friedmann very soon. Senztor Herbat Stricken. Dr E. M. Herbst, state senator from Berks county, was stricken with apoplexy at his home at Friedensburg near, Reading, Pa., when he was found unconscious in his library. Senator Herbst is still in the same condition, and his physicians say that he will not be able to return to Harrisburg this session, even if he recovers. His condition is critical.

A man armed with a revolver and wearing a machete over the lower part of his face shielded the Peabody Cooperative bank in Peabody, Mass. held up John A. Teague, the treasurer, and escaped after obliterating the contents of the cash drawer, amounting to $900. HEALTH HINT. FOR TODAY. Deep breathing, Exoralea. Breathing exercises develop the expansion of the lungs and thus increase the girth of the chest. They also develop the chest muscles and in this way thicken the flesh of the chest walls. They will not, however, increase the size of the mammary glands. There is no special method of deep breathing that is absolutely essential. The best form of deep breathing is that sort which is produced by natural exercises. Those who need chest expansion should take every morning a cold rub in a cold room. Throwing off everything first, in the morning take a rough towel and rub all portions of the body fiercely. Industriously. This will produce labored breathing, simply because the exercise requires it. The breathing should be accomplished through the nose. HEALTH HINTS FOR TODAY Boiling water will in half an hour destroy microbes which are most active. A high temperature is the most efficient disinfectant. Not only does a moist, high temperature destroy germs, but it is also a deodorizer. If nervous, people eat lettuce and celery it will soothe the nerves and promote rest and sleep. Hot milk, sipped slowly, is efflencious for relieving the throat irritation that frequently follows a severe cold or is an accompaniment of a bronchial cough. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Foreign Objects in the Ear. When a foreign object has been in some way introduced into the ear do not become panic stricken. Allay the patient's fears at once. The object, whatever it may be, is prevented from reaching any vital parts, such as the drum, by the wax, which catches and holds it. If the object happens to be a bug it is best to introduce a little warm oil in order to kill the insect immediately. After this it may be removed with a syringeful of warm water. Any object may be so removed unless it be a pen or bean or other object which is likely to swell with the introduction of water. In such a case the patient must be taken at once to a surgeon or doctor, who has the proper instruments with which to extract the object. In no event should the non-professional attempt to probe after the article with improvised instruments. The delicate membranes lining the auditory canals are almost certain to be injured, and there are many cases on record of rupture of the drum through this indisction. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Sulphur For Dightheria. Sulphur for Diphtheria. Powdered sulphur is one of the most infectious remedies for diphtheria. Put a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur into a wine-glass of water and stir it. with the finger instead of a spoon, of course first cleansing and disinfecting the hand. Sulphur kills every species of fungus in man, beet or plant in a few minutes. Instead of splitting out the gargle, it is better to swallow it. The gargle alone may be used in the first stages, but where the throat is too nearly closed to permit of the gargle use a quill to blow the powder into the throat. After the fungus shrinks the gargle may be used. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Arm Strengthening Exercises. George Bothner, the wrestler, gives the following rules for strengthening the arms: Bring the left arm in front of you, elbow against the waist and palm turned upward. Grasp the left hand with the right and while holding down with the right draw the left up to the shoulder. Relax the muscles and return the hand to its original position. Repent: this five times in the morning and ten times at night. Reverse the position of the hands and exercise the right arm in the same way. Place the left hand in front of the chest, palm turned outward, and grasp bands as before. While opposing the motion with the right hand straighten the left arm to its full length. Repeat this five times in the morning and ten times at night. Reverse the position of the hands and exercise the right arm in the same way. Wanted to See the President. Dearing 10000, and bound for the White House in Washington to see President Wilson, Nim Abbie Brisman, of La Salle, Ill., was arrested and remanded to a hospital for observation. When she was searched bills are grasped 10000 were found. She is allowed to examine her mission to the White House. HAPPINESS To be unhappy is to blame life unjustly. These who understand this and realize that happiness is of their own making know that paradise is to be found here on earth. It should be the duty of the governments of the world to destroy the anguish and terror felt by living creatures toward nature, life and death. Be happy in love. We must recognize that disillusionment is not always caused by the other person, but from lack of clear sightedness. We must have the courage to be mistaken twenty times and, so far from despairing, disappointment, must understand that it can be useful in educating us.—Henry Marx. SONG OF LONG AGO. A song of long ago. Sing it lightly; sing it low; Sing it softly, like the lisping of the lips we used to know. When our baby laughter spilled From the glad hearts ever filled With music glad us robin ever trilled! Let the fragrant summer breeze, And the leaves of locust trees, And the apple buds and blossoms, and the wings of honeybees. All palpitate with glee Till the happy harmony Brings back each childish joy to you and me. Let the eyes of fancy turn Where the tumbled pippins burn Like embers in the orchard's lap of tangled grass and fern. There let the old path wind In and out and on behind The elder press that chuckles as we grind. Blend in the song the moan Of the dove that grieves alone. And the wild whir of the loost, and the bumble's 'drowsy drone. The landscape fades away at evenfall. Then, far away and clear, Through the dusky atmosphere. Let the whisp of the kiddee be the only sound we hear. Oh, sad and sweet and low, As the memory may know, Is the glad, pathetic song of long ago! —James Whitcomb Riley. SAID ABOUT WOMEN. Nothing displeases women more than an nustere and self contained character. They see that they have no hold upon it. Its dignity nues them. Its pride rebels. Its occupations keep them aloof.-Hippolyte A. Tatne. No woman is so bad but we may relocate when her heart thrills to love, for then God has her by the hand.-J. M. Barrie. Her eyes are homes of silent prayer.-Alfred Tennyson. Flattery is their nature. To coax, flatter and sweetly befool some one is every woman's business. She is none if she declines this office.-William Makepeace Thackeray. MARRIAGE. No encouragement should be given to elopements. They are too often the precursors of unhappy unions that end in the divorce court. They are undertaken by very young, irresponsible persons and are frequently due to impulses of the hastiest and most trivial nature. A thing as serious as marriage should be undertaken only after the most careful and deliberate reflection and should be surrounded with all proper dignity. My views about marriage have been criticised as interfering with true love and the spirit of romance. But I cannot feel that to be the case. True love implies a desire for the well being of the beloved. No man who loves a woman's going to ask her to marry him if he understands that their union may result in death or lifelong invalidism for her. But it will take a certain amount of education and regulation to bring home this understanding to everybody. Why should we do less to safeguard the business of begetting life than we do for all sorts of vastly less important business? For these enterprises we require licenses or reputable financial backing. But if any man wants to get married he goes to the county clerk's office wholly unknown there or unwounded for as to character, responsibility or anything else. With him goes a similarly unknown, unwounded for woman. No matter what their mental, moral or physical condition, they get their license and are married Walter Taylor Samper 500,000 For Cancer Care.

Love of story telling could keep them children long after they numbered the years of life counted by the psalmist.

The Whole Truth When the Duke of York, now the king of England, was making his tour of the British colonies, there was an Indian prowow for him in British Columbia at which several Indian chiefs appeared. The Indians made speeches. The only interpreter was a cowboy who had lived in that country, and who volunteered his services. The cowboy told the royal party what an Indian chief was talking about for a few minutes and then stopped, while the Indian continued spouting "What is he saying?" asked one of the princesses. The cowboy made no reply. "But we must know what he is saying," the princess persisted. "Tell us immediately. I insult." "Well, malam," replied the cowboy, "if you must know, he is asking whether it is possible that little rant with the whiskers ever will be king of England." - Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. Will Against Will A certain proxy professor of physics is so great a misanthropie that he deliberately announces his features for the days when he has reason to think that his students will least want to attend. He commanded their presence on an election day once and drove them nearly wild by delivering a tithouss essay on will power. "If he wills it a man may accomplish anything," he droned. "Let him make up his mind not to die and he will live in spite of disease; let him decide that life is not worth living and the will drop peacefully out of it. I challenge any student to cite an instance in which the power of the will has not triumphed over everything." Up shot the reproducate of the class, a youth beloved by all his companions for his daring humor. "Sir, I accept your challenge. You are wrong," he said. "Pray mention an example," retorted the professor dryly. "With pleasure, sir. An hour ago I willed that this lecture should be brought to a speedy conclusion. I've willed the same thing sixty times since, but up to now it hasn't come off." "Nor will it," said the professor, "for I have not only willed that this lecture should last another hour, but am perfectly willing that it should do so." And it did Slightly Sarcastic. When James B. Reynolds was assistant secretary of the treasury Senator Root sent for Mr. Reynolds one day to discuss with him some matters concerning a trade conference in Paris which Mr. Reynolds had been selected to attend. "I suppose," said Mr. Root, "you speak French." "Well, yes," responded Mr. Reynolds. "I know a little French. I have no trouble to make the waiters and the cab drivers understand me." "I see," said Mr. Root. "But, Mr. Reynolds, suppose there should be no waiters and cab drivers in the conference." - Judge. A Puzzled Author When Alphonse Daudet brought out "Hapbo" an American publishing house that issued religious books, not knowing its character, offered M. Daudet a large sum for advance sheets of his work. He accepted the offer, and he advance sheets were sent. When the publishers received them they deified that they could not issue the out, and they cabled to the author "Hapbo" will not do." This disqualified Daudet. He consulted the members of friends, and this was the motivation at which they eventually agreed: "Hapbo" in French is spelled like his name "-" "Hapbo." after the Greek edition. In English it is spelled with an equally acute friend point. all this out to lander, which much re- flected the novelist, and be called back to the publisher. "Nspell it with two pun." It is goodness to state that the publisher were more automobiles at Davies's reply than he had been at their cable dispatch. IMMIGRANT DISTRIBUTION. The real problem which confronts us is not restriction of immigration, but the distribution of the immigrants. America has not yet been discovered by most Americans. Millions have never penetrated beyond the Atlantic seaboard. What we need are more people who have the ready and venturesome spirit of the pioneer. Instead of a hotter skelter, haplazard migration of the natives let us have a carefully directed distribution of the people to the edge of self support and independence, and we shall have less need of sustaining charities for those who become helpless and fails for those who become worthless.

Then will find rest from vain fancies if they doest every act in life as though it were thy last. As for life, it is a battle and a sobbing in a strange land, but the fame that comes after is ob- bion. The lot assigned to every man is suited to him and suits him to itself. The universe is change. Our life is what our thoughts make it. Nothing can come out of nothing any more than a thing can go back to nothing. THE WISDOM OF EPICTETUS. When you make any charge against providence, consider, and you will learn that the thing has happened according to reason. Yes, but the unjust man has the advantage. In what? In money. Yes, for he is superior to you in that he falters not, is free from shame and is watchful. What is the wonder? But see if he has the advantage over you in being faithful, in being modest, for you will not find it to be so, but wherein you are superior there you will find that you have the advantage. If a man has frequent intercourse with others, either for talk or drinking together or generally social purposes, he must either become like them or change them to his own fashion, for, if a man places a piece of quenched charcoal close to a piece that is burning, either the quenched charcoal will quench the other or the burning charcoal will fight that which is quenched. Side then the danger is so great we must cautiously enter into such intimacies with those of the common sort and remember that it is impossible that a man can keep company with one who is covered with soot without being partaker of the soot himself. One man must keep watch, another must go out as a spy, and a third must fight, and it is not possible that all should be in one place, nor is it better that it should be so. But you, neglecting to do the commands of the general, complain when anything more hard than usual is imposed on you, and you do not deserve what you make the army become as far as it is in your power. If all imitate you no man will dig a trench, no man will put a rampart round nor keep watch nor expose himself to danger, but will appear to be useful for the purpose of war. Subscribe to the PLANET. VALUE OF GOOD BOOKS. VALUE OF GOOD BOOKS. Good books make good cli- seps. The man who has a col- lection of books for his home no matter how small it may be in actual volume, is paying the way for his children to become useful men and women. If I had my way no home would be without its quota of books. And they should be the property of that home. I cannot too strongly emphasize the importance of owning good books as well as reading them. There is no feeling quite so satisfactory as the pride one takes in the posses- sion of one's own library, even if not large, and it gives to the home a distinctive atmosphere which could come from no other source. In these days of popular prices and expert production, when well bound books by the best authors are within reach of all, there is little reason for the failure of every home to have books, own these books and read them. That is the advice I give to all. As I polled out in the beginning, good books make good citizens. That means that you must first have them and then read them. Just as the newspapers, keep man in touch with the work of the world day by day, so do books bring him into broader touch with the progress the world is making in art, liter- ature and the sciences.—Rudolph Bankenburg. THE RING OF WORDS. Bright is the ring of words When the right man rings them. Fair the fall of songs When the singer sings them. Still they are carolled and said; on wings they are carried. After the singer is dead And the maker buried. Low as the singer lies In the field of heather. Songs of his fashion bring The swains together. And when the west is red With the sunset embers The lover lingers and sings And the maid remembers. — Robert Louis Stevenson. UNCERTAINTY OF BOND INVESTMENTS. Our jurisprudence and our business customs proceed on the theory that trustees for the funds of widows and orphans should, for the most part, avoid investing these funds in stocks because "dividends are uncertain" and should invest them in bonds because "interest is certain." But interest is not certain when the dollar is uncertain. Interest insures a fixed number of dollars, but it does not insure any fixed value in these dollars. Most widows and orphans whose funds have been invested in bonds during the last decade and a half have suffered from the high cost of living more than they could possibly have suffered from uncertainties in the dividends from ordinary standard investments in stocks. No wonder the world is full of unrest from the rising cost of living...Professor Irving Fisher. BENTENCE SERMONS. Let us lie low in the Lord's power and learn that truth alone makes rich and great.—Emerson. Three things are great— Concequence and will, And courage to fulfill The duties they create. —Anon.

A lioness throat doctor who cares for the vocal organs of many of the greatest of our operers singers makes the unqualified statement that if throats and noses were systematically cleaned many illnesses, including bronchitis, catarrh and consumption, would be averted. A salt water douche and gargle to cleanse the throat and nose thoroughly should be used, he declares, at least twice a day. "Fill a wide mouthed bottle," he advises, "holding a plint, with boiled water and add to it a teaspoonful of common soap salt. When you rise in the morning and when you retire at night, after gargling the throat with the solution, fill the hollow of the hand with it and draw it up the nose, throwing the head back. This last should be done carefully. It will cause coughing, but will completely clear all the little spaces and intricate passages of the nose and throat." HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY Animal Food. Letting alone its inadvisability when you are ill, there is no doubt that in the case of the majority of healthy persons the less the quantity of animal food in the diet, when this is replaced by suitable nonanimal food, the better do the qualities of mental and muscular endurance become and the less the tendency to organic disease of every description. This is no evidence that a small quantity of animal food will directly cause organic disease or that nonanimal food will prevent it. But it would seem to indicate that harm, from overeating is more likely to be caused by animal foods than by nonanimal, foods, and that if the body is toothless from any cause nonanimal foods are better. This is especially true as one becomes older and the body less efficient from that cause. One of the main arguments against meat, as a staple diet provided that it is fresh and clean, is that it gives the internal organs, liver and kidneys, much more work than is necessary, who not improving one's health and strength in a corresponding degree. So if you are not as healthy as you might be and you want to make everything favorable to improving yourself, or if you are healthy and want to live long and do the best work you are capable of, then abstain from meat, or at least cut it down so that it is but a flavor in your staple diet. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Teeth Powders Unless one knows of what they are made tooth powders must be used with caution. Precipitate chalk is good, and it may be performed as one choice. There are several excellent tooth powders on the market, and chalk, variously "doctored," is the best of some of them. It is admirable for the teeth. Persons who have trouble with softness of the teeth are often advised to wash the mouth out night and morning with milk of mungels. It is said to have a very good effect upon the teeth and gums. Washing the mouth with a weak solution of salt and water is also excellent. The breath may be sweetened and the teeth helped by washing the mouth two or three times a day in water to which has been added a tablespoonful of limewater. Tartar can occasionally be removed from the teeth by rubbing them with a stick dipped in lemon juice, and a stick dampened and dipped in powdered pumice is good for taking spots from the teeth. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Sleeping In the Open. It is better to sleep on a sleeping porch if it is screened in than it is to sleep inside of a room, however wide open the windows may be kept. But it is still better to sleep on the porch which is not screened in at all or on the roof under the open sky, where the air may circulate most freely about the body. The poison who becomes accustomed to sleeping out will find that he requires no more coverings than he would in the house. In fact, on a chilly night he will be likely to find himself much colder in his chamber than he will be in his porch or roof bedroom. The free circulation of air about the body is instrumental in creating warmth. The warmth is also greater inside of the body by reason of a large absorption of oxygen. An Important Question. Professor Bills Perry likes to tell this story about a suffrage meeting which a friend of the attended. After considerable business had been disposed of by the suffragette one of their number made a motion that the women living in the town where the something was held should endeavor at the next election to place a woman on the school board. The presiding officer said, referring to the motion, "is there any question?" For a few moments there was silence. Then a shriek voice far up in the gallery said sweetly, "Will you please tell us how you get that smooth effect over the hip?" HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Inflammation of the Skin. medically, "red hands" are a form of erythema, or local inflammation of the skin. Now, there are a great many kinds of erythema, due to a large number of causes, from some infectious disease like scarlet fever to more prolonged exposure to cold or heat. The question arises. What can be done to prevent the first stage of erythema—namely, the increased blood supply to a part—or hyperacmia, and what to prevent the first stage from developing into subsequent ones? This question is more easily asked than answered, but still it is not answerable. In the first place, those who have a sensitive skin must protect it as much as lies in their power. They must keep from it every irritation—say, washing with either hot or cold water. The water should always be tepid. Particular attention must be paid to the soap used, that with an excess of alkali being particularly injurious. As to further treatment, when once the hands have begun to show signs of more or less permanent redness they should be rubbed dry in an upward direction and afterward amused with some animal fat, as cod liver oil or lanolin, several times a day. They should frequently be held high and joined above the head so as to facilitate the escape of blood. At the same time it is advisable to go in for suitable exercises, walking, gymnastics, cycling, golfing, etc., which can only help to improve the general circulation. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Acid in Rheumatism. It is said tomatoes augment if they do not cause rheumatism. The acid in them, while it adds to the flavor of the vegetable, is very injurious to gout, and many think it is better not to eat them Rheumatism is beyond doubt an acid disease, and any acid, save citric, as found in the lemon and orange, may give rise to it. Strawberries and peaches are familiar examples of the acid giving rise to this disease. Meat, too, acts as a generator of little or uric acid, as every one knows. Do not eat tomatoes if troubled with gout or rheumatism HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Treatment of Catarch Sometimes catarrh is the result of a wrong diet or injudicious mode of life. Persons in the habit of indulging freely in alcohol are more or less subject to a chronic state of inflammation of the throat and back of the nose, which often extends down to the larynx, causing huskiness of the voice. In these circumstances abstention from intoxicants and exercise in the open air are soon followed by a marked improvement. Others of a more or less gouty disposition and relief in diminishing the amount of animal food they eat, at the same time taking regularly every morning a dose of aperient water. Anaculeate young persons whose diet is not rich enough in fats are often troubled with chronic catarrh. Here the best treatment is a probined course of cod liver oil, preferably with iron. A suitable combination is to take the oil in the form of emulsion, with the addition of citrate of iron and ammonium, five or ten grains to the ounce. Then there are the old and delicate persons, to whom nothing does so much good as a change of residence to some more suitable climate. But in nearly every case local treatment of the noatrils and back of the throat is doubling, spraying or gargling is capable of doing some good. HEALTH HINT FOR TODAY. Oxygen Bath: For the general state of the nervous system no remedy has proved so valuable as the oxygen bath. The oxygen is much more effective if gradually produced in the bath at the time of administration than when charged by oxygen from a cylinder. By mixing in the bath sodium perborate and manganese borate from thirty five to forty pints of oxygen are steadily evolved during fifteen to twenty minutes. It can be added to any mineral water, but is most effective when given with radioactive water, the oxygen and radium emanations minutely increasing each other's activity. The effect is soothing and tonic and aids the elimination of waste products. PHOTOS. We offer you, the Locale and Mint, Artistic Photos, as a Minneapolis Picture than you can obtain elsewhere.

While leaves are green and skies are bright. To walk on flowers together. But we have loved as those who tread The thorny path of sorrow. With clouds above, and cause to dread Yet deeper gloom tomorrow. That stormy path, those stormy skies. Have drawn our spirits nearer And rendered us by sorrow's ties Each to the other dearer. Love, born in hours of joy and mirth. With mirth and joy may perish. That to which darker hours gave birth Still more and more we cherish It looks beyond the clouds of time. And through death's shadowy portal Made by adversity sublime. By faith and hope immortal. — Bernard Barton PROFIT SHARING LABOR. There must be a motive back of all labor which will make the laboring man take special interest in his work. He must have something to look forward to besides the actual daily wage which he receives. The workman's idea forty years ago was not to avoid work. Now, when more pay and shorter hours receive almost constant attention, the men are likely to come to think of these things all the time. Some of them probably constantly are thinking of ways by which they can do as little work as possible rather than ways by which they can do as much as possible. With more pay and shorter hours not resulting in happiness, it becomes necessary to plan some other means by which the great mass of laboring people may get their enjoyment while working. The system of profit sharing will keep the employees interested in their work and consequently content. A certain company is a splendid example of my profit sharing ideas and gives each of its employees a certain per cent of the profits annually and has done so for twelve years. I believe the plan is one that can be adopted generally, except in cases of absentee ownership.—Charles W. Elliot MARTHA A little girl. Barefoot, ragged, with neglect- ed hair. Eyes full of laughter, neck and shoulders bare. A thin slip of a girl, like a new moon. Sure to be rounded into beauty moon; A creature men would worship and adore. Though now in mean habiliments she bore A pull of water, dripping through the street And bathing as she went her naked feet. It was a pretty picture, full of grace— The slender, form, the delicate, thin face; The awaying motion as she hur- ried by. The sliding feet, the laughter in her eye That o'er her face in ripples greamed and glanced As in her pail the shifting sun- beams danced. -William Wadaworth Longfellow. THE EVIL OF DIVORCE It is the home that contains the vital principles of human happiness, that is the nation's strength, and it is the foundation of private as well as public well being. The state is only the sum of the families that compose it. Relaxation of the marriage tie endangers the integrity of the family and therefore imperils the foundation of the state. Alarming evidence of the influence upon our riding generation of the social curse of divorce, which strikes at home life, is everywhere at hand and shows the great injury done to society, to the husband and wife themselves and to the children. Every child has a right to a mother's heart, to a mother's arms and to a father's love. Every child has a right to a home with its father and mother. Divorce and dissolution of family deprive and rob the child of that to which every child is entitled, and it works an irreparable injury to the child. Every right thinking man should raise his voice against the growing evil.—Cardinal Farley. THE FAIR SEX. To warn, to comfort and commu- nish A perfect woman nobly planned. —William Wordsworth. Every woman's fault is every man's misfortune.—Gall Hamilton. When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music.—Longfellow. The most beautiful object in the world, it will be allowed, is a beautiful woman.—Macduay. The beauty of a lovely woman is like music.—George Mistol. COLLEGE MEN FOR PUBLI- CISTS. The fact that our universities are the most democratic ground in America fits them well to be the recruiting stations for publishers. Men of all classes, poor and rich, throng American universities, where merit is the sole measure of the man. For the tree to be healthy the sap must flow freely from the root through the trunk to all the branches. So must it be with the men who are going to affect vitally public opinion and political action. They must spring from the bosom of the people. The state-man is a man of uncommon ability, with common opinions. His heart must throb responsively to the multitude, for, as Emerson said, great ideas incarnate themselves in the multitude. In suggesting that we need schools for statesmen, as we have had schools for prophets, for physicians, for engineers, for lawyers, and for journalists, it may be asked whether any definite career awaits the publicist as a certain door opens to the physician, lawyer or engineer. Can the publicist expect a career? Democracy is government by influence rather than by office. Under a monarchy one must hold office to exert influence, and his influence is the more effective the nearer he stands to the king. But the glory of popular government is that every man counts according to his character and capacity for leadership in molding public opinion. Public opinion is sovereign, and whoever gives impulse to public opinion has a decisive part in shaping policies and making laws. Office is for the few. Influence is for all—Samuel Cobles Mitchell. PROGRESS. New occasional teach new duties. Time makes ancient good un- mouth. They must upward still and on- ward who would keep abreast of Truth. Lo. before us gleam her camp- fires. We ourselves must pil- grims be. Launch our Maydower and steer boldly through the desperate winter seas. Nor attempt the future's portal with the past's blood rusted key. —Lowell. The Separation.

Peter the Great particularly delighted in drawing teeth, and he strictly enforced his servants to send for him when anything of that sort was to be done. One day his favorite valet do chambre seemed very melancholy. The clar asked him what was the matter. "Oh, your majesty," said the man, "my wife is suffering the greatest agony from toothache, and she obstinately refuses to have the tooth taken out." "If that is all," said Peter, "we will soon cure it. Take me to her at once." When they arrived the woman declared that she was not suffering at all; there was nothing the matter with her. "That is the way she talks. your majesty." said the valet. "She is auf- "Hold her head and hands," said the ear. "I will have it out in a minute." And he instantly pulled out the indicated tooth with great dexterity amid profuse thanks from the husband. What was Peter's indignation to discover a little later that his valet had used him as an executioner to punish his wife, who had never had an un-sound tooth in her head. LET US BE:MEN.
