VOL. XXV. FOR A GREATER SOUTH Southern Commercial Congress Convenes in Washington. EUROPEAN MONEY FOR SOUTH The Slogan of the Commercial Congress Is, "A Greater South Will Produce a Greater Nation." Washington, D. C.—"A greater nation will come into being through a greater south." This is the slogan of the Southern Commercial Congress, which convened here. The congress has announced that it has two objects—to hasten a clearer self-knowledge throughout the whole south, and to compel the balance of the United States and of the world to set a correct valuation upon the south as a region of opportunity. The stake involved is declared to be the greatest in the commercial history of the United States, and it will be the purpose of the congress to amalgamate all interests and to inculcate into the minds of the representatives from the southern states the great importance of harmonious action that the opportunities for profitable investment in the south may be brought to the notice of the whole world. Attention is called to the southward rush that is expected to follow the opening of the Panama canal and to the importance of preparedness for the southward swing of commerce. The opening session was presided over by Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labeled among the distinguished visitors present were Ambassador Bryce of Great Britain and Ambassador Jusserand of France; also Thomas L. Field of London. Secretary Nagel, in his address, urged that the states go as far as possible in the development of their own resources and then call upon the national government for aid. He assured the assemblage that it would be his pleasure to give whatever help in that direction that might be within his power. President Parker, in his address, flatly opposed indiscriminate immigration. He showed that the Southern Commercial Congress was for the hastened development of the south along lines that aimed at national strength and national weakness. Ambassadors Bryce and Jusserand each made a brief address and both were loudly applauded. Mr. Bryce spoke of the great importance of co-operation between the railroads and the farmers of the south, and the need of increased transportation facilities. He said that from his observations there need be no apprehension of any political-conditions arising which will hamper the south. With reference to the negro, the ambassador said that it was the opinion of the best minds he had met in the south that the education of the negroes for economical purposes was one of the best things for that section, and that it was important that they be educated in habits of industry. M. Jusserand told the congress that the future of the south was in the hands of the southerners. He spoke of his visits to the south and how he was impressed with the natural resources, remarking that the problem of the south could be solved because of the wealth of these resources. He paid a high tribute to the geniality, hospitality and high-mingledness of the southern people. Mr. Field, although designated as from London, is a native of North Carolina, and in his address said he was known in the British capital as a staunch American from the south. He pointed out the possibilities for attracting European money to the south, and declared he was confident that there rarely has been a time when English capital was more unsettled at home, and more inclined to seek employment in other countries where conditions are secure and investments satisfactory. Mr. Field also was of the opinion that there were a great many Englishmen of some means dissatisfied with the conditions at home who could not be induced to avail themselves of opportunities in the south. Secretary of War Dickinson spoke of the resources of the south and paid tribute to the southern states, and promised his aid in every possible way in promoting the advancement of the commerce of these states. The meeting is the first annual affair of its kind, and prominent speakers addressed the delegates, who represented practically every section of the south. The tenor of the speeches was for the commercial aggrandizement of that section of the union south of the Mason and Dixon line, through harmonious work and the encouragement of new settlers. 10 KILLED IN EXPLOSION. "Kleine's Grasbrook," Near Hamburg, Germany, Goes Up in Flames. Hamburg, Germany—The explosion of two gas tanks in the so-called "Kleine's Brasbrook," on the Elbrefront, was followed by an extensive fire and the loss of many lives. The explosion was due to a leak in a new gasometer. Ten men are reported dead and 17 missing. It is almost certain that all of these latter are dead. Forty men were dangerously injured. The gasometer which exploded was the largest in the world, having a capacity of 200,000 cubic meters. The city appropriated 14,000,000 marshs ($3,500,000) for its construction. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11. 1909. $34.94 FOR EACH PERSON. 15. Money in Circulation Were Divided on Equal Basis. Washington, D. C.—Every person in the United States would have a stake of $34.98 if the money in circulation on December 1 were evenly divided. This reckoning is based on the treasurer's estimate that the population of the United States is 89,524,000 at this time. The money circulation statement, issued by the treasury department, shows that the general stock of money in the United States on December 3, 328,602,048, an increase of $712,931,000 more than on this day was in circulation $3,131,310,944, an increase of $6,633,877 over a month ago, and of $13,749,901 over a year ago. This is in striking contrast to the $16,266,721 in circulation on January 1, 1879, for which comparative figures are given. The treasury held assets of the government on December 1 last of $297,291,114, which does not include the $35,952,787 of deposits of public money in national bank depositories to the credit of the United States treasury. Of the general stock of money at present gold coins, including bullion in the treasury, aggregate $1,644,906,223, standard silver dollars, $664,294,719; subsidiary silver, $161,304,633; treasury notes of 1890, $3,328,000; United States notes, $346,681,016, and national bank notes, $707,433,457. WOULD BAR RELIGION IN SCHOOLS. Hebrews of Chicago Want All Sectarian Teaching Abolished. Chicago, Ill.—A problem which has agitated school boards in all of the country where the population has a large foreign element broke out in Chicago when a memorial asking the school board to do away with all sectarian teachings in the schools, was presented to President Alfred R. Urion. The memorial is signed by five Jewish religious workers. The petition claims that in various hymns in the schools there are moral lesson diametrically opposed to the Hebrew faith, and that there is a tendency to teach Jewish children things that their religion either condemns or does not favor. This is against the spirit and letter of true democracy, the protesting rabbis claim, and they close their memorial with a request that the president at once issue an order taking these hymns out of the schools. DISRESPECTABLE TO BE SICK. Doctor Fletcher Says That Will Be the Case In Five Years. New York City—"If you want to be fashionable and in style you must chew your food," was the observation made by Dr. Horace Fletcher, the famous exponent of rational eating. Dr. Fletcher, who, with his wife, sailed to observe mastication in foreign lands, added the comforting intelligence: "In five years from now it will not be considered respectable to be sick. Mr. Fletcher says the great source of unhappiness in the world comes from the mouth. "You may feel like ridiculing the idea that it is well to chew your soup, said the doctor, cheerful. It will improve and save you to try it. It will improve the soup and help you. "Never eat when worried, nervous or angry. It is making and absorbing poison to do it. You should chew your food 32 times with every mouthful. If you do this you will live to a great age." RAVAGES OF THE HOUSE FLY. Life and Property Destroyed by the House Pests. New York City—Twenty billion dollars would be saved by the United States if the house fly were exterminated, according to Dr. Daniel G. Jackson, a sanitary expert and representative of the New York water pollution committee. Dr. Jackson, in a statement to the New York Sanitary Association, says: "On the basis of our present knowledge, I estimate two years might be added to the average span of each human life in this country by the elimination of the transmission of disease by flies. This would mean a saving of 170,000 years of human life, and, incidentally, a money saving of about twenty billion dollars." Newsv Paragraphs. A ten thousand mile trip in a thirty-foot launch is the program mapped out for Stanley A. Beadle, who arrived in Chicago. Mr. Beadle started his tour from Muskegon, Mich., and intends to return to the starting point within twelve months, his route taking him through the Illinois-Michigan canal, the Mississippi river, the Gulf of Mexico and around the Atlantic seaboard to the Gulf of St. Laurence, up the St. Lawrence river and through the Grea Lakes back to Muskegon. Mrs. O'Leary's cow did not kick over the lamp that started the fire which destroyed the city of Chicago in 1871. Blasted is the tradition of the origin of the great fire which swept away millions of dollars in property and made homeless many thousands of persons. The denial of the cow's kick came from the son of Mrs. O'Leary, James O'Leary, familiarly known as "Big Jim," of the stock yards district, who denied the oft-repeated story, following a declaration made from a Chicago pulpit that the cow had kicked over the lamp when two youths tried to procure from her milk for whiskey punches. "The fire was caused by spontaneous compaction in the hay left," said Big Jim. THE TRIBUNE OFFICE REMOVED TO 462 WEST BROAD STREET. $732,223,075 NEEDED DEPARTMENTS ECONOMICAL Grand Total Asked for is $103,380,303 Less Than Appropriations for the Current Fiscal Year. Washington, D. C.—That there has been a careful scrutiny of the estimates of appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1911, is shown by the figures submitted to the house of representatives by Secretary of the Treasury MacVaugh. The grand total of estimates for 1911 is $123,223,075, which is $103,370,302 less than the appropriations for the current fiscal year and $123,056,413 under the estimates submitted a year ago for 1910. A general cut has been made wherever possible and new work authorized only where regarded as absolutely necessary. Heretofore it has been the practice of departmental officers to "pad" the estimates with the expectation that the amounts would be materially reduced before being fully passed by congress. As soon as President Tatt' came into office he directed that this practice be discontinued and gave notice to the members of his cabinet that in the future all estimates must be submitted, on the basis of the actual needs and requirements of the service. hTe result is, the officials say, that the figures submitted are down to bed rock basis and will bear the closest examination by the appropriation committee of both his offices of Congress. The departure they add, will reduce materially the actual work of the appropriation committee. The estimates in detail for the various departments are (cents omitted): Legislative, $13,169,679. Executive, $472,270. State department, $4,570,301. Treasury, $136,998,605. Territorial governments, $287,350. Independent offices, $2,400,695. District of Columbia, $11,884,928. War, $200,461,465. Navy, $117,029,914. Interior, $191,224,182. Postoffice department proper $1, 695,690. Deficiency in postal revenue, $10, 634, P22. Department of agriculture, $17,631, 136. Commerce and labor, $14,187,913. Justice, $9,518,640. Holdings Under the head of public buildings the estimates include: Albany, Ga., $50,000; Gainesville, Fla., $55,000; Gulfport, Miss., $65,000; New Orleans, $300,000; New York City, assay buildings, $150,000; Berge office, $100,000; marine hospital, $50,000; postoffice, $500,000; Oklahoma City, Okla., $100,000; Owensboro, KY, $75,000; Richmond, Va., $150,000; St. Louis, Mo., postoffice, $77,500; Sallisbury, N. C., $50,000; Shreveport, La., $50,000; Washington, D. C., building for bureau of engraving and printing $653, 695. DEATH FOLLOWS STORM. Three Persons Die From Exposure in Chicago. Chicago, Ill—Chicago was visited with the first real snowstorm of the season. Several inches of snow fell, impeding street traffic and delaying trains. The storm extends from southern Wisconsin into Iowa, and through the Ohio valley, covering Illinois and Indiana. Trains from the west and north were delayed from one to three hours. The wind, averaging a velocity of 35 miles an hour, added to the discomfort caused by the storm, which the government weather bureau said would continue until noon. Through the day the county agents and the police were besieged with appeals for aid from storm sufferers. The storm caused the death of three persons and seriously hampered the transportation on steam roads and urban lines. Danville, Ill.—Lying in six inches of snow on the steps of a bank building and almost dead, a Hungarian woman and her six-months-old child were found by a policeman. Attached to the woman's dress was a tag consigning her to her husband, a coal miner, p. Westville. She, with her baby, arrived in the night from New York, where she had landed with other immigrants from Hungary. Ignorant of the language of the new country, she wandered about helplessly, the child clasped to her breast, until she sank exhausted and lay for hours in the blast of the heavy storm carrying snow and sleet that raged over this part of Illinois. TOBACCO CROP SOLD Immense Sum Pald Tobacco Pool for Crop. Lexington, Ky.-It was announced at the headquarters of the Burley Tobacco Society that a syndicate of New York capitalists had made an offer for the 1120,000,000 pounds of tobacco in the pool of 1909. Henderson, Ky.-The balance of the 1909 crop of dark tobacco consistig of a million or more pounds was sold by the Stemming, Association to W. G. Head & Son at 7 cents average. This completes the sale of the 23,000,000 pounds of the 1909-crop of pooled tobacco in the counties of Webater, Henderson, Union, Crittenden and Hopkins. Tribune. CIVIL SERVICE FOR DIPLOMATS. President Taft Plans to Improve the Diplomatic Service. Washington, D. C.-Go to improve the personnel and efficiency of the diplomatic service and to encourage secretaries of legations to qualify for promotion to the rank of ministers, President Taft has approved a plan suggested by Secretary Knox and published it as an executive order. The new project provides for a board of examiners to pass upon all applicants for appointments as secretaries and prescribes the standard to be maintained. Secretary Knox, in a prior submitting his plan to the president, outlines the remarkable growth of the diplomatic and commercial relations of the United States and the increasing difficulty of the problems to be dealt with. Records of efficiency of all the under-secretaries will be preserved in the state department and appointment from outside the service to secretary-ships will be made only to the class of third secretary of enbassy; or, in case of higher vacancies, of second secretary of legation, or of secretary of legation at posts which have assigned to them only secretary. Vacancies in secretary-ships of the higher classes will in the future be filled by promotion from the lower grades, and efficiency and ability demonstrated in the service will be the test advancement. Candidates must be between the ages of 21 and 50 years. From the successful candidates an appointive list will be prepared and from this the department will aim to apportion representation fairly among the territories and states. CULBERSON STILL LEADER Texan Has Not Resigned Democratic Leaderable. Washington, D. C.—With great seriousness, the democratic members of the senate met in caucus to elect a successor to Senator Culberson, who has determined to resign as chairman of the caucus because of ill health. A tentative program had been arranged by which Mr. Money, vice chairman, was to be elevated to the leadership and was to decline because of disinclination to take upon himself such duties because of his ill health. Senator Bacon was then to be selected as chairman. With this program agreed upon, Senator Culberson's letter was read to the assemblage and then it was 'discovered that he had not resigned the chairmanship, but had merely stated his purpose of so doing. Immediately all the well laid plans of the statesmen were upset and further action was postponed until definite action is taken by the Texan senator. The caucus elected Thomas W. Kellar of West Virginia assistant doorkeeper, which position is equiva lent to democratic representative of the sergeant major of the senate. Mr. Keler has been in the employ of the senate 35 years. SHERIFF PAYS FOR LYNCHING. Calro, Illinois, Officer Loses Place Because of Mob. Springfield, Ill.—Governor Deneen denied the petition of Frank E. Davis for reinstatement as sheriff of Alexander county. It was Sheriff Davis from whom the Calro, Ill., mob took William James, colored, and Henry Salzner, white, and lynched them on the night of November 11th last. After reviewing the lynching in detail, the governor, in a voluminous statement, submits evidence that the sheriff did not do all in his power to protect the prisoners by having made no forcible resistance and on this ground the petition for reinstatement is denied. In conclusion the $1,000,000 VANISHES FROM SURPLUS. Criminal Irregularities Charged In Conduct of Phenix Insurance Co. New York City—The Phenix Insurance Company of Brooklyn is under investigation for irregularities, while it is believed, have impaired its surplus at least $1,000,000. It is charged that the president has overdrawn his salary, that he has unloaded doubtful securities on the company and that he has used the company's assets to secure his own personal speculative accounts. Throne For American Girl. New York City. — Miss Yvonne Townsend, daughter of Lawrence Townsend, former minister of Portugal, whom European cables had suggested as a bride for the young King Manuel of Portugal arrived here from Antwerp with a denial that she was engaged. Miss Townsend and the present king were playmates eleven years ago, when they were both eight years old, and when they met a few weeks ago as the guests of King Edward at Windsor castle their friendship was renewed. Grand Prize Gobbler. St. Louis, Mo—"Taft," a bronze turkey gobble, weighing 55 pounds, was awarded the grand prize at the Missouri state poultry show. The bird had 150 competitors from twenty-three states and Canada. "Taft" is owned by S. C. Havens of Shelbyville, Indiana. Minister to China Appointed. Washington, D. C.—Announcement was made at the state department of the appointment of William J. Calhoun of Chicago as minister to China. Mr. Calhoun has accepted the appointment and the Chinese government has indicated its pleasure in receiving him. GAMBLING IN COTTON Washington, D. C.—Gambling on a stupendous scale; gambling which plays fast and loose with wealth which it does not produce; exploitation of friend and foe to make gamblers profits; reckless manipulation of a great crop for personal gains; evasion of speculative risks while taking speculative profits, are some of the unsavvy practices shown to exist on the New York cotton exchange in a report just issued by Herbert Knox Smith, commissioner of corporations of the department of commerce and labor. While the commissioner does not undertake to denounce in detail these practices he shows them up in glaring light in parts four and five of the government report on cotton exchanges. That the New York cotton exchange is more dangerous than a bucket shop, because patronized by the non-speculative public engaged in growing and spinning cotton—men who would not be caught dead in a bucket shop; and because of its widely demoralizing effect upon the cotton industry, its depression of prices to cheat the producers, and its uneconomic plan of "fixed differences" which defraud merchants and manufacturers who wish to hedge" in order to avoid speculative chances, is shown by the low cost invasicing way in the latest disclosures. That the New York exchange is playing both ends for the benefit of the middlemen, defrauding the farmers and cheating the purchaser, is proven beyond question by the facts and figures presented in Commissioner's Smith's report. This report has been in course of preparation for the past two years. The investigation into the exchanges of the country was originally undertaken under a resolution introduced by Representative L. F. Livingston of Georgia and Albert Burleson of Texas. Three parts of the report have already been published. Parts four and five are now in the hands of the public printer, and a summary has been given out for publication. In view of the startling disclosures made, and the widespread baneful effect of exchange practices upon the cotton industry of the country, President Taft has directed a careful investigation by the department of justice into the case with the view to criminal prosecutions under the Sherman anti-trust law. If that law is not sufficient to cover the offense, the president will ask congress for additional legislation under which the exchange gambling can be reached and stopped, and guilty parties punished. MODEL OF PRIMITIVE MAN Professor Lull of Yale Bases it on Remains and Relics. New Haven, Conn. — The model representing the full size restoration of the primitive man partly idealized, but based mainly on the remains and relics of the primitive man found in various parts of the world, chiefly in Europe, has been made by R. S. Lull, professor of vertebrae paleontology in Yale University. The restoration is of the gorilla type, about 5 feet 6 inches high, a stooping frame, bowed at the thighs with large feet and hands and long arms, great muscular development, the lower part of the head and face somewhat refined, but the upper head of a low development and the whole an intermediate link between man and ape. The restoration is said to be the first of paleontology in Yale University. FIGHTING THE WORD "HEBREW." Jewish Societies Object to Designation in Immigrant Reports. Washington, D. C.—Appealing to the immigration commission for an elimination of the designation of "Hebrew" in the immigrant reports, Simon Wolf, representing various Jewish societies, and Julius W. Mack, of Chicago, appearing for the Immigrants' Protection League, addressed the commission in favor of their content. They both claimed that the designation "Hebrew" was religious in its nature and had no place in the reports of immigrants coming there. They desired Jews to be known as Germans, Russians or other nationalities, according to the country from which they came. "DRY" GOVERNORS TO MEET. Call is issued by Gov. W. R. Stubbs of Kansas. Topeka, Kans. — Governor W. R. Stubbs has sent letters to governors of prohibition and local option states initiating a movement for stricter enforcement of the federal revenue laws applying to liquor. Governor Stubbs' plan is for the governors to unite in a protest to congress against conditions which he alleged in a formal letter to the president exist in Kansas—failure of federal collectors to post revenue tax licenses in conspicuous places and failure to prosecute "bootleggers" who pay their licenses when apprehended. GOOD YEAR FOR FARMER. 1909 Most Prosperous of All Years in Agriculture. Washington, D. C.-Secretary Wilson, of the department of agriculture, in his annual report just issued, says the farmer prospered more in 1909 than in any previous year. "Most prosperous of all years is the place to which 1909 is entitled in agriculture," is the way the secretary puts it. The value of farm products was $8,760,000,000, a gain of $889,000,000 over the preceding year. Of great popular interest are the results of a unique investigation conducted by the department, which shows that in fifty cities the total retail cost charged to consumers for beef above the wholesale cost paid by the retailers averaged 38 per cent. The lower the grade of beef, the greater the percentage of gross profit In the upward movement of beef prices, the farmer, the report says, has not shared equally with the packer, retailer and wholesaler; but as to hogs, the case is different, the farmer receiving his fair share of the higher prices of pork in the increased price of his unified hogs. Secretary Wilson notes a great forward movement in enforcing the food and drug acts, the willingness of many manufacturers to comply with the laws and to co-operate with the department (making the work largely educational). Secretary Wilson says in part: "Eleven years of agriculture; beginning with a production of $4,417,000 and ending with $7,760,000. A sum of $70,000,000,000 for the period. It has paid off mortgages, it has established banks, it has made better homes, it has helped to make the farmer a citizen of the world, and it has provided him with means for improving his oil and making it more productive. "The most striking fact in the world's agriculture is the value of the corn crop for 1909, which is about $1,720,000,000. It nearly equals the value of the clothing and personal adornments of 76,000,000 people, according to the census of 1909. The gold and silver coin and bullion of the United States are not of greater value. It has grown up from the soil and out of the air in one hundred and twenty days—$15,000,000 a day, for one crop, nearly enough for two dreadnaughts daily for peace or war. This crop exceeded in value the average of the crops of the five preceding years by 36 per cent. "Cotton is now the second crop in value, and this year's cotton crop is easily the most valuable one of the farmer that has been produced. With cotton line selling at 13.7 cents on the farm November 7 and with cotton seed selling for about $25 per cotton, the lint and seed of this crop are worth about $850,000,000 to the farmer. No cotton crop since 1872 has been sold by farmers for as high a price per pound as this one." TRANSPORT DIXIE SAILS There Are 700 Marines on Board the Cruiser. Philadelphia, P. — The transport Dixie, with the 70 marines and all the equipment transferred from the stranded transport Prairie, passed out to sea on her way to Central America. Admiral Kimball and the marines who are bound for Colon, and may possibly be sent to Nicaragua, are three days behind the schedule set by the navy department. LATE NEWS NOTES General. The department of state is advised by the British ambassador that in consequence of representations made to the governor of Jamaica as to the prevalence of rabies among dogs in the United States an order has been issued prohibiting the importation of dogs into Jamaica from the United States and the Republic of Panama, including the canal zone. Partly as a result of new economic conditions and partly as a result of those causes which brought about the curtailment movement among the cotton mills in the south, a silent but widespread and general revolution is setting in among southern manufacturers that have the effect of the examination of manufacturers to make finer goods in both yarns and in cottons. This will be of value, because it will reduce the output of coarse yarns. On the other hand, the better grade of goods and the finer yarns will bring to the producer quicker buyers and better prices. Washington. Under a recent ruling of the commissioner of internal revenue, drugists who put up alcoholic medicinal compounds must pay a special tax as rectifiers if the compounds are not sufficiently medicated so as to be unsuitable for use as a beverage. Louis Greenberg, a diminutive New York newsboy, came to Waddington to see the president. The boy was plainly disappointed when told that the president, who was at a cabinet meeting, was too busy to see him, and declared he would remain here until he does see the president. "You see," he said, "I have already met such prominent gentlemen as Mr. Jeffries and Mr. Gotch. I also want to meet Mr. Taft." A proposal that the government shall enter suit against the state of Colorado to recover the value of thirty-five thousand acres of mineral land, which, it is alleged, passed into state control through misrepresentation; is under consideration by the department of justice. This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has complied with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of suchness to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. SOL. C.

Great Sport for Those Who Go Down to the Sea OWER boats have converted sea fishing into unalloyed pleasure. Sailing craft are all right if there is wind, but to lie becalmed, "a painted ship upon a painted ocean" within sight of a big school of bluefish, is very galling. In reference to the location where August sea fishing is best, there is no choice. It is all good from Key West to the St. Lawrence Gulf. It is always best in the neighborhood of the mouths of rivers, large or small, or near rocky shores where seaweed clings and shellfish may be found.

It is always best in the neighborhood of the mouths of rivers, large or small, or near rocky shores where seaweed clings and shellfish may be found. Even sandy shores, like that of the Jersey shore, are good where the sea bottom is covered with beds of shellfish. The north shore of Long Island is not nearly so good as the Connecticut coast opposite. On the other hand, the south coast of Long Island is excellent, being cut up in numerous bays and inlets, beginning at Rockaway Point, Jamaica Bay, Great South Bay, and so on to Montauk. Splendid fishing is available from Block Island to Cape Cod and up to Boston Harbor, and thence along the Maine coast as far as the Bay of Chalears. The season for this region is not confined to the month of August, but continues on till cold weather nips the fingers. Crying Need of the Church By Dean Shailer Mathews, of the University of Chicago. T present the Church seems to be in danger of not having leaders enough. There is nothing more threatening to the growth of evangelical Christianity than the failure of men to go into the ministry. Just at the present a rightfully ambitious Christianity faces alarming conditions. A Notwithstanding the growth of the Church, notwithstanding the large growth of the community, there are no more men in our theological seminaries than there were two decades ago. In some denominations and in nearly every country in the world there are barely half as many as there were ten years ago. The city church is too often a parasite upon country churches for its pastors. Now these little springs that feed the river are drying up. In place of leaders too often appear untrained or but poorly trained pastors. As industrialism and the new education spread the output of ministers diminishes in number and in quality. Even ministers do not want their sons to go into the ministry. Christians of maturity do not want to be ministers. I believe, also, that one of the largest problems that beset Christian education is how to prevent young fellows from losing their early ministerial ambitions during the college or university courses. Many such college students are more eager to be married than to be trained for real leadership as ministers. Many theological seminaries are failing to send out trained leaders of the Church as they should. The curriculum of most theological seminaries was practically determined two hundred years ago. P.

The Apparently Drowned Rolling on a Barrel on Obsolete Method of Resuscitation N eight out of ten cases when there has been a drowning or near drowning the reporters tell us that "the patient was rolled on a barrel," with varied effects. Whether the patient lives or dies the rolling on the barrel fits into the story. The good old barrel ceased to figure prominently as a successful resuscitation factor a number of years ago, except in stories, and the constant repetition of it serves to induce longshoremen and others to use the barrel and waste valuable time that might save the patient's life. As far as it went the barrel scheme was not so bad, as it did get out the water in a crude sort of way and performed some of the motions of artificial breathing. The delay in finding a barrel (apparently nothing else will do in the minds of the rescuers) and the rough scraping up and down usually offset the good features of the treatment. No barrel or roller is needed for resuscitation. The patient can be laid face downward over a box or log or across a person's body so as to force water out of the stomach and throat, and there is usually very little water to come out. Then the patient should be turned over, and, with the tongue crawn forward to keep the air passage open, the arms should be drawn above the head and compressed over the short ribs to imitate breathing, at the rate of sixteen times a minute. With the exception of the Schaefer method—in which the patient lies face downward all the time, pressure being applied to the short ribs from the back—the resuscitation methods are mostly as described. My point in speaking of this matter is not so much to describe the methods of resuscitation in vogue is to point out the way the press may do a real service to humanity by reporting the methods used in cases of complete recovery. It will not take up much additional space and it will afford interesting data to thousands of readers. Whether desk men know it or not, the general public is deeply interested in matters pertaining to restoration of the apparently drowned. That is why they swallow the "barrel rolling" so easily. One other point: I want to pay my respects to the sporting writers who describe our long swims, and add from their own heads details about a bottle of whiskey in each boat for the purpose of keeping up the courage of the swimmers. None of the successful swimmers in the ten, twelve or fourteen mile swims we have held trained on whiskey or used it for nourishment on the trip. We do not recognize it as a helpful stimulant. The after-effects are very bad. Fresh water, coffee, beef tea, malted milk are all used as nourishment (and even cheese sandwiches by one swimmer); but out of justice to them, and to help others who may try for long distance honors, I want to register my protest against the whiskey fabrication right now.—New York Sun: PUBLISH A NEWSPAPER PUBLISH A NEWSPAPER Not necessary to own a printing office or be a printer to publish a newspaper.

C. of Georgia, Route No. 5, Box No. 47, Hawkinsville, Ga. October 1st, 1909. To the Brethren of the Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia: In view of the fact that we are to meet again in annual session, in the month of November this year, I have deemed it expedient to address this circular letter to the Brotherhood. First. Let it be borne in mind that we will not be favored with the certificate plan in November, account the convention; but instead of getting certificates there will be reduced rate return tickets on sale November 7, 8 and 9, from all points in Georgia to Atlanta. Rates of 3 cents per mile plus 25c, with final limits to return November 16th, 1909. This arrangement is cheaper than using the certificates. There is to be an automobile exhibition in Atlanta the same time, and the rate above mentioned has been granted on that account. So when I applied-for the usual certificate plan the Company advised me that it would make said rate apply to Convention also. Connection with the programmes, I send you this letter so that there will be no mistake. Take due notice, and be governed accordingly. We have learned that changing the Convention from June to November does not meet the approval of a host of brethren. It will be remembered that the change was recommended in the President's annual address, which paper was referred to a committee; the committee reported favorably and subsequently the convention adopted and approved it by her votes. Let's go up to Atlanta in full force, and if the change is not the best, let's urge that the convention may rescind its action; but, personally, I think the change from June to November is best. 1st. It's a time in the year when the majority of the laymen have some money that they can give, as well as the pastors. 2nd. Every farmer in our convention who is interested in our work could plant one or two acres of cotton specially for conventional purposes, and in November of each year a great contest could be worked up among the farmers. 3rd. The associations belonging to our convention will have met and closed at this season—and they could send by their moderator or representative their annual donation direct to the convention, and through that medium, if properly worked up and given a fair trial before we decide to change from November Back to June, it will only be a question of time before we can lay on the conventional table from three to five thousand dollars. 4th. Now, we have some white friends who have, and are still stand- 4262 West Broad St. The president's message, which was read to the senate and house, was, in part, as follows: Europe Questions relating to the fisheries of Great Britain and the United States on the North Atlantic Coast have been submitted to a tribunal formed from members of the permanent court of arbitration at Theague. The commissioners appointed by the United States and Great Britain to mark accurately the international boundary line between the United States and Canada, in the Passamaquoddy Bay, young failed to agree it has now become necessary to arbitrate the question. The international fisheries commission has completed a system of uniform and common international regulations for the protection and preservation of the food fishes in the national boundary waters of the United States and Canada. The regulations were submitted to congress for adoption. The convention providing for the settlement of international differences between the United States and Canada, including the apportionment of certain boundary waters, which was ratified by the senate March 3, 1895, has not yet been ratified on the part of Great Britain. Commissioners of the United States and Canada are examining into the question of obstructions in the St. John's river between Maine and New Brunswick. Negotiations for an international conference to consider and reach an arrangement providing for the preservation and protection of the fur scals in North Pacific are in progress with the governments of Great Britain, Japan and Russia. the following powers participated: the United States, Austria-Hungary, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, and Spain. The conference resulted in the Declaration of intention, unanimously agreed and signed by the participating powers, concerning, among other matters, the highly important subjects of blockade, contraband, the destruction of neutral prizes, and continuous voyages. The Declaration of London is an eminently satisfactory codification of the international maritime law, and it is hoped that its reasonableness and fairness will secure its general adoption, as well as remove one of the inflexibilities standing in the way of the establishment of an office, court. The United States was represented at the international conference on maritime law at Brussels. The conference resulted in the signature a referendum of a convention for the unification of certain regulations regarding maritime law and salvage and for the unification of certain matters regard to collisions at sea. Two new projects of conventions, one concerning the limitation of the responsibility of shipowners, and the other concerning maritime mortgages and privileges, have been submitted by the conference to the different governments. The conference will meet again on April 11, 1910 at Belfort to The committee be represented by a fitting display of progress in the useful arts and inventions at the world's fair to be held at Brussels in 1910 remains to be acted upon by the congress. Mindful of the advantages to accrue to our artisans and producers in competition with their continents, I renew the recommendation, koreoforto made that the committee be made for acceptance of the invitation and adequate representation in the expo- The question arising out of the Belgian annexation of the independent state of the Congo, which has so long preoccupied the attention of this government, is still open, but in a more hopeful stage. The programs of reform urge the extension of the rights of civilization, education and fruitful open commerce to that vast domain. The attitude of the United States is one of benevolent encouragement coupled with the hope that the demands of humane sentiment throughout the world will be satisfied. A convention between the United States and Germany, under which the non-working provisions of the German patent law are made inapplicable to the patents of American citizens, is now in force, for similar reasons, which have recently been initiated with other European governments. Commission ta. Liberia. The commission sent to Monrovia to investigate the interests of the United States and its citizens in Liberia was enthusiastically received, and the hope was repeatedly expressed that this government might see its way clear to do something to relieve the critical condition of the republic arising, in a measure, in terminal as well as in general financial embarrassment, that it will be remembranced at the interest of the United States in the Republic of Liberia springs from the historical fact of the foundation of the republic by the coalsization of American citizens of the African race. The report of our commissioners has just been completed, and is now under examination by the department of state. that there may be some helpful ideas in which case it may be my duty again to invite your attention to this subject. The United States has received an invitation from the Norwegian government to take part in a conference for the purpose of devising means to recremely existing conditions in the Spitzerbergen Islands. In view of the American possession, occupation and working of certain coat-bearing lands in Spitzerbergen, the invitation has S MESSAGE. been accepted under certain reservations by the United States. The Near East. His Majesty Mohmed V. Sultan of Turkey, recently sent to this country a special embassy to announce his accession. That country now has a constitutional government within parliament. Constitutional government seems also to have made further advantage in Persia. In the Near East the prestige of the United States has enhanced through the peaceful influences of American schools, universities and missionaries. There is every reason why we should obtain a greater share of the commerce of the Near East. Latin America. It is gratifying to this government that a boundary difference between Bolivia and Peru, which threatened to cause war, was settled without the necessity of intermediation by the government today, more than ever before, American capital is seeking investment in foreign countries, and American products are more and more generally seeking foreign markets. As a consequence, in all countries the American interests are protected, on occasion, in this government. These movements of men of capital and of commodities bring peoples and governments closer together and so form bonds of peace and mutual dependency, as they must also naturally sometimes be protected. The resultant situation invariably imposes upon this government vastly increased responsibilities. This administration, through the department of state and the foreign service, is lending "all proper service to legitimate and beneficial American enterprises in foreign countries, of such support being measured by national advantages to be expected. The Pan-American policy of $i$ this government has long been fixed in its principles and remains, unchanged. With the changed circumstances of the United States and of the republics, to the south of us, most of which have great natural resources, stable government and progressive ideals, the apprehension which gave rise the Monroe doctrine may be said to have nearly disappeared and neither the doctrine exists nor any other doctrine of American policy should be attributed to operate for the perpetuation of irresponsible government, the escape of just obligations, or the insidious allegation of dominating ambitions on the part of the United States. Besides the fundamental doctrine of our Pan-American policy there have grown up a realization of political interests, community obligations and ideas of nourishing commerce. If these bonds will be greatly strengthened as time goes on, increased facilities, such as the great bank soon to be established in Laffla America, supply the means for building up the concessional commerce of the future. On July 30, 1909, the government of Panama agreed, after considerable negotiation, to indemnify the relatives of the American citizens killed in a military treaty, one of them having, Indeed, been killed by the Panaman police this year. The sanitary improvements and public works undertaken in "Cuba prior to the present, administration of that government, are interested which the State is interested in the treaty, are reported to be making, good progress. The governments of the United States and Chile have agreed to submit the American claim of Alsop and Company against the government of Chile to definite settlement by his Brittany-Malesty, Edward VII. The Nicaraguan Situation. Since the Washington convention of 1807 were communicated to government, of the United States, as a consulting and a military party, this government been almost continued up until by one or another, and in turn by all of the five Central American Republics, to exert itself for the maintenance of the conventions. Nearly every complaint has been against the Zehya government of Nicaragua, which has kept America in constant contact or turmoil with those masses made to the presentations of Central American Republics, as due from the United States, on account of its relations to the Washington Conventions, have been at all times conservative, and have avoided, so far as possible, the use of military forces in these matters, it is very evident that the considerer, Canal Zone' and of the very substantial American interests in Central America give to the United States a special position in the zone of these republics and the Carribean Sea. Need not rehearse here the most efforts of the government to promote peace among these regions, offers which are fully appreciated by the majority of those who are loyal to their true interests. It would be no less unnecessary to rehearse here the sad tale of unspeakable barbarieties and oppression of have been committed by the Zelaya government. Recently two representatives were put to death by order of President Zelaya himself. They were reported to have been regularly forced of a revolution which had continued many weeks and was proceeding in an orderly fashion. The control of about half of the republic and such as to the modern practice of civilized nations, they would be entitled to be dealt with as prisoners of war. At the date when this message is printed this government is proceeding with delibertate exhortation to defender such truth, in these reports in this course in the most consistent with its dignity, its duty to 'American interests and its moral obligations to Central America, and to civilization. The liberal support of congress is asked for the international bureau of American republics which is maintained for the development of Pan-American commerce and friendship. The Far East. In 'the Far East this government preserves unchanged its policy for supporting the principle of opportunity and commitments respect for the integrity of the Chinese' empire, the policy and bledged the interested powers of both east and west. By the treaty of 1903 China has undertaken the abolition of likin with a moderate and proportionate raising of the customs tariff along with currency reform. These reforming bills of manifest advantage to foreign countries well to the interests of China, this government is endeavoring to facilitate these measures and the needful acquiescence of the treaty powers. After months of negotiation the equal participation of Americans in the Chinese railroad loan seems at last assured. It is gratifying that Americans will thus take their share in this extension of these great highways of trade, and to believe such activities right of impel to our commerce and will prove a practical corollary to our historic policy in the Far East. The results of the opium conference held at Shanghai last spring at the invitation of the United States have been laid before the government. The report shows that China has made and adduced efforts toward the eradication of the opium owl. Collateral investigations of the opium question in this country lead me to recommend that the manufacture, sale and use of opium in the United States should be so far as possible more rigorously controlled by legislation. After a thorough examination of the conventions and of the several contextual documents, the secretary of state reached the conclusion that monopoly was not accomplishing the mission of mining privileges along the South Manchurian and Antung-Mukden railroads. Our traditional relations with Japan continue cordial as usual. The arrangement for a cooperative venture coming in favor to the United States has proved to work satisfactorily. The Department of State. I earnestly recommend to the favorable action of the congress the estimates submitted by the department of state and most especially the legislation suggested in the secretary of state's letter of this date whereby it will be possible to develop and make permanent the reorganization of the department upon modern lines in a manner to make it a thoroughly efficient instrument in the furtherance of our foreign trade and of American interests abroad. An executive order which places the diplomatic service under civil service rules is now in effect. Appointed three officials to assist the officers of the government in collecting information necessary to a wise administration of the tariff acco of August 5, 1909. Other Departments. In dealing with the affairs of the other departments, the heads of which all submit annual reports, I shall touch only those matters that seem to me to call for special mention on my part without minimizing in any way the effects made by legislation affecting our respective departments, in all of which I wish to express my general concurrence. Government Expenditures and Revenues. Perhaps the most important question presented to this administration is that of economy in expenditures and sufficiency of revenue. If a probable deficit is shown by the government, it is the duty of the president to recommend the choice by which such deficit can be met. The report of the secretary of the treasury shows that the ordinary expenditures for the current fiscal year ending June 30, 1910, will be the estimated receipts of 975,620.10 for this office, added the sum to be allocated for the Panama canal, amounting to $38,000,000 and $1,000,000 to be paid on the public debt, the deficit of ordinary receipts and expenditures will be increased to the total deficit of $733,000. The deficit the secretary of the proposed to meet by the proceeds of bonds issued to pay the cost of constructing the Panama canal. I approve this proposal. The Panama Canal. The policy for the construction for the Panama canal, not out of current revenue, but by bond issues, was adopted in the Spooner act of 1902, and there seems to be no good reason for departing from the principle by which a part at least of the burden of the cost of the canal shall fall upon our posterior to enjoy it; and there is all the more reason for it because the account to date of the canal, which is show half done and which will be completed January 1, 1915, shows that the cost of engineering and construction will be $297,766,000. Instead of $393,705,200, as originally estimated. In addition to engineering and construction, the other expenses, including sanitation and government the amount paid for properties, the franchise and the privilege of building the canal, increase the cost by $353,000 to a total of $375,201,000. The increase in the cost of engineering and construction is due to a substantial enlargement of the plan of construction by widening the canal 100 feet in the Culebra cut and by increasing the dimensions of locks, to the understimates of the quantity of the work done under the original plan, and to an understimates of the cost of labor and materials, both of which have greatly enhanced in price since the original estimate was made. Cutting of Expenses. Cutting of Expenses In order to allow a debt for the ensuing year, I directed the heads of departments in the preparation of their estimates to make them as low as possible consistent with imperative governmental necessity. The result has been, as I am advised by the secretary of the treasury, that the estimates, of the expenses of the government for the year ending June 30, 1911, are for the next fiscal year less by $5,658,000 than the total of appropriations for the current fiscal year, and less by $94,000,000 than the estimates for that year. So far as the secretary of the treasury is able to form a judgment as to future income, and compare it with the expenditure for the year ending June 30, 1911, including the payment in account of the public debt, there will be no deficit in the year ending June 30, 1911, but a small surplus of $12,600. In the present estimates, the needs of the departments and of the government have been cut to the quick, no to speak, and any assumption, on the part of congress, so often made in times past, that the estimates have been prepared with the expectation that they may be reduced, will result in seriously hampering proper administration. The treasury department has instituted an investigation into the efficiency of each employee in several bureaux. Under the present system, superior ability of an employee is not rewarded because the bureau will re-classification of the civil service so that work requiring most application and knowledge and ability shall receive most compensation would be fairer to the whole force and would permanently improve the personnel of the service. As the degree of efficiency in all the departments is much lessened by the retention of old employees who have outlived their energy and usefulness, it is indispensable to any proper system, of, economy that provision be made so that the bureau from the start shall be easy to maintain. It is impossible to make such provision unless there is adopted a plan of civil pensions. I am aware, that there is a strong feeling in both houses of congress, and possibly in the country, against the establishment of civil pensions, and that this burden of military pensions, which it has always been the policy of our government to assume, but I am strongly convinced that no other practical solution of the difficulties presented by the superannuation of civil servants can be proposed, and that of a system of pensions. FARREL agree to refer to the fact of the discovery of extensive frauds in the collection of the customs revenue at New York City, in which a number of the subordinate employees in the weighing and other departments were directly concerned, and in which the beneficiaries were the American Sugar Refining Company and others. The frauds consisted in the payment of duty receipts in the weights of sugar, the government has recovered from the American Sugar Refining Company all that it is shown to have been defrauded of. Criminal prosecutions are now proceeding against a number of the government officers. The treasury department and the department of justice are exerting every effort to discover all the wrongdoers, including the officers and employees of the companies who may have been privy to the fraud. It would seem that an investigation of the frauds by congress at present, pounding the by the treasury department and the attempt to prove of justice, as proposed by giving immunity and otherwise-prove an imprisonment in securing conviction of the guilty parties. Maximum and Minimum Clause In Tariff Act Two features of the new tariff act call for special reference. By virtue of the clause known as the "maximum and minimum" clause, it is the duty of the executive to consider the laws and practices of other countries with reference to the importation into those countries of the products and merchandise of the United States and if the executive such laws and practices to be unduly discriminatory against the United States the minimum duties provided in the bill are to go into force. Unless the president makes such a finding, then the maximum duties provided in the bill, that is, an increase of twenty-five per cent ad valorem over the minimum duties, are to be in force. Fear has been expressed that this power conferred and duty imposed on the executive is likely to lead to a tariff war. I beg to express hope and belief that this result need be anticipated. No one is seeking a tariff war or a condition in which the spirit of retaliation shall be aroused. Uses of the New Tariff Board. a doily, I have required a reduction in the estimates of the war department's spending, fiscal, fiscal, which brings the totar estimated down to an amount, to be repaid, possibly estimated for last year. This could only be accomplished by cutting off new projects and gassing for the period of one year all progress in military matters. For the same reason I have directed that the army shall not be recruited up to its present authorized strength. To accomplish this transition to a number of needed changes in the army in all of which I concur, but the point upon which I place most emphasis is the need for an elimination bill providing a method by which the merits of officers' shal have some effect upon their advancement. The amount of all may be accelerated by the effective elimination of a definite proportion of the least efficient. The const. defenses of the United States proper are generally all that could be desired, and, in some respects they are rather more elaborate than under present conditions are needed to stop an enemy's feet from entering harbors defended. There is, however, one place where, additional defense is badly needed, and that is at the mouth of Chesapeake Bay, where it is proposed to make an artificial island for a fort to prevent an enemy's feet from entering. Important strategic base of operations on the whole Atlantic and Gulf-coasts. I hope that appropriate legislation will be adopted to secure the construction of this defense. The military and naval joint board have unanimously agreed that it would be unwise to make the large expenditures which at one time were contemptulated in the establishment of a naval base and station in the Philippine Islands, and have expressed their judgment, in which I fully cur, in favor of making a commitment to the naval harbor, near Honolulu, and not in the Philippines. This does not dispense with the necessity for the comparatively small appropriations required to finish the proper coast defenses in the Philippines now under construction on the island of Corregidor and elsewhere or to complet a suitable repair station and coaling supply station at Olongapo, where is the floating dock "Dewey," I hope that this recommendation of the joint board will end the discussion of the comparative manila Bay and Olongapo as naval stations, and will lead to prompt measures for the proper equipment and defense of Pearl harbor. The Navy. The return of the battleship fleet from its voyage around the world, in more efficient condition than when it started, was a noteworthy event of interest alike to our citizens and the naval authorities of the world. Our officers are earnest and zealous in their profession, but it is a regrettable fact that the higher officers are old for the rest, and the admirals do not motivate the flag fank young enough to obtain adequate training in their duties as flag officers. This need for reform in the navy has been ably and earnestly presented to congress by my predecessor, and I also urgently recommend the subject for consideration. Owing to the necessity for economy in expenditures, I have directed the chiefs of recommendations for naval appropriations so that they are thirty-eight millions less than the corresponding estimates of last year, and the request for new naval construction is limited to two first class battleships and one repair vessel. Department of Justice. Expedition in Legal Procedure. The deplorable delays in the administration of civil and criminal law have received the attention of committees of the American Institute for Civil and Criminal Law, as well as the considered thought of judges and jurists. In my judgment, a change in judicial procedure, with a view to reducing its expense to private litigants in civil cases and facilitating the dispatch of business and final decision in both civil and criminal cases, constitutes the greatest need in our American institutions. I do not believe a moment that much the lawless violence in lynching is directly due to the uncertainties and injustice growing out of the delays in trials, judgments and the executions thereof by our courts. I recommend legislation providing for the appointment by the president of a commission with authority to examine the law and equity procedure of the federal courts of first instance, the law of appeals from those courts to the courts of appeals and to the supreme court, and the court imposed in such procedure in the private litigants' court on the public treasury and make recommendation with a view to simplifying and expediting the procedure as far as possible and making it as inexpensive as may be to the litigant of little means. Infunctions Without Notice. Injunctions. The platform of the successful party has last election, contained the following: "The republican party will uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, state and federal, and will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process and to protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved inviolate. We believe, however, that the rules of procedure in the federal courts with respect to the issuance of the writ of injunction should be more accurately defined by statute, and that no injunction or temporary restraining order should be denied without notice, except where irreparable injury would result from delay, in which case a speedy hearing thereafter should be granted." I. recommend... that in, compliance with the promise thus made appropriate legislation be adopted. Postoffice Department. Second Class-Mail-Matter. The subject of charges on second class mail is progress for consideration. I very mildly dicit the wisdom of our policy which constitutes to imprison a subsidy to newspapers, and magazines and, requires, additional fixation meet. If the subject of progress is the 'subject worthy of their tion of the postmaster, the intellectual necessity and the capability of the establishing, posing the banks. The successful entry at the last election, declared in favor of postal savings, banks, and although the proposition finds opponents in many parts of the country, the com-munity is not alone. Simple double sum banks and am sure that when the banks are furnished they will be productive of the utmost good. The postal savings banks are not constituted for the purpose of creating competition with other banks. The rate of interest upon deposits to which they would be limited, would be so small as to prevent their drawing deposits away from other banks. Shlp Subsidy. Following the course of my disguised predecessor, I earnestly recommend to congress the consideration and passage of a ship-subsidy bill, looking to the establishment of lines between our Atlantic seaboard and the Pacific, as well as lines from the west coast of the United States, to South America, China, Japan and the Philippines. Interior Department: New Mexico, and Arizona. The successful party in the last election in its national platform declared in favor of the admission, as separate states of New Mexico and Arizona, and I recommend that legislation appropriate to this end be adopted. Alaska. With respect to the territory of Alaska, I recommend legislation which shall provide for the appointment by the president of a governor and also of an executive council, the term of office reside in the territory, and which shall have legislative powers sufficient to enable it to give to the territory local laws adapted to its present growth. I strongly deprecate legislation looking to the election of a territorial legislature; in that district. The Light House Board The Light House 1648a. I recommend the transfer of control over civilian bureaus. This is in accordance with the judgment of competent naval command. Consolidation of Bureaus! I request congressional authority to enable the secretary of commerce and labor to unite the bureaus of manufactures and statistics. The White Slave Trade. I greatly regret to have to say that the investigations made in the bureau of information and order of information of informants to the view, that there is urgent necessity for additional legislation and greater executive activity to suppress the recruiting of the ranks of prostitutes from the streams of immigration into this country—an evil which, for want of a better name, has been called "The White Slave Trade." I believe it to be constitutional to forbid "under penalty, the transportation of persons for purposes of prostitution across, national and state lines; and by appropriating a fund of $200,000 for the commerce and labor for the employment of special inspectors it will be possible to bring those responsible for this trade to indictment and conviction under a federal law. Bureau of Health 1979 For a very considerable period a movement, has been 'gathering strength, especially among the members of the medical profession, in favor of a concentration of the instruments of the national government which have to do with the promotion of public health. There seems to be no reason why all the other bureaus and offices in the country should be those of the army and navy, which have to do with the public health or subjects like thereto should not be audited in a bureau to be called the "bureau of public health." Semi-Centennial of Negro Freedom. The year 1913 will mark the fiftieth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation 'granting freedom to the negroes. It seems fitting that this event should, hey properly celebrated. Already the emancipation of white groes, 'encouraged by promotion, white people and the press. The 'South especially is manifesting, its interest in this movement. It is suggested that a proper form of celebration would be an exposition to show the progress, the negroes have mado, not only during their period of freedom, but also during this country, be healthy, endorse this, a proposal. Conclusions. I have thus message compressed as much as the subjects will permit, referred to many, of the legislative needs of the country, with the exceptions already noted. Speaking generally, the country is in a high state of prosperity. There is every reason to believe that we are on the eve of a substantial business expansion, and we have just made harvest of our agricultural products. The high prices which such products bring meal great prosperity for the farming community, but on the other hand they mean a very considerably increased burden upon those classes in the community whose yearly compensation does not expand, with improvement and the market of our agricultural products. Various reasons are appropriate for the high prices. The proportionate increase in the output of gold, which today is the chief medium of exchange and is in some respects a measure of value, furnishes a substantial explanation of at least part of the increase in prices. The increase in population of the more expensive in population of the people living of the people has been, but been accompanied by a proportionate increase in average production, may marshal a further reason. It is well to note that the increase in the cost of living is not confined to this country, but prevails the world over, and those who would argue prices to the factive prospective tariff are the factive the fact that the rise in prices has taken place almost wholly in those products in the factory and farm in proportion which there has been, either no, increase in tariff, or in many instances a very considerable reduction.

PRESIDENT TAFT's first message seems to please many. The only special reference to us as a race is his endorsement of the exposition in 1913, and the recommending of an appropriation for the reimbursement of the defunct Freedman's bank depositors. GEORGIA is inviting capital and settlers. Lynchings and mob rule will deter either from entering the borders of the state. Enforce the laws impartially and break up the mob, then Georgia will indeed be the garden spot for capital and settlers. It would be well for the authorities to fully investigate the recent killing of the colored man by the policeman in Yamacraw last week. THE TRIBUNE can not rely on rumors and state what the people in that section is saying or how they feel about it, but all of these could be fully brought out if the authorities would have an investigation. Where it not for the timely interference of Recorder Schwarz last Saturday night, an inoffensive colored man would have been brutally beaten, and if he had resented it, arrested and possibly fined as being the aggressor. As it luckily happened the recorder saw the two white man mistreating the old man and stopped them, even though he was assaulted by the men. But few white men would have acted as did our brave recorder, and THE THIBUNE wants to let him know that he is toasted for this timely act. A PETITION Was presented to Governor Deneen of Illinois to reinstate Frank E. Davis, of Alexander County, who allowed the mob to lynch a colored and white man at Cairo. The Governor denied the petition and said "Mob violence has no place in Illinois. It is denounced in every lino of the Constitution and in every statute. Instead of breeding respect for law, it breeds contempt. The law may be severe, which, severe or not, it must be enforced." If there were more Governor Deneens, there would be less lynchings. Dr. Brunner's Practical Address Commended. Friday afternoon of last week, Dr. W. F. Brunner, our able health officer, delivered an address before the members of the Council of Charities and Health. The Council is composed of white ladies. The Morning News gives the following account of the doctor's address: COLONIZATION OF NEGROES. "The first step to be taken towards the eradication of tuberculosis in Savannah, is to stop the colonization of Negroes, as in Yamacrow and Frogtown, for it is among the Negroes that the disease is most prevalent and in protecting them you protect yourselves. "My belief is that the danger of contagion from tuberculosis infected persons is greatly exaggerated and this society would do much more good if they directed their efforts toward helping the Negro in general rather than devoting their efforts merely toward the tranquilizing of a single trouble. NEGROES NOT LAZY OR UNCLEAN. "The Negroes are not a lazy and unclean race instinctively, although the majority of people think this the case. They have been made what they are by their environment and it is the white peo people who are to blame for their present ways of living. CONDITIONS IN YAMACRAW. "Take Yamacraw for example. In that one section, which is considerably less than a half mile square, there are 9,000 people existing in 1684 houses, none of which is more than two stories high and of these thousands 97 per cent. are colored people. In some of these five or six people sleep in a single room and the sanitary conditions are simply unspeakable. Is it any wonder then that the mortality among the black people is so high?" To prove his point that the Negroes are not dirty by instinct Dr. Brunner made the startling statement that in the poorer sections of the city the colored people as a whole are much cleaner than some of the poor whites in these sections. This brought forth a lively discussion between Dr. Brunner and several of the ladies and a number of specific instances were quoted. HOW TO GIVE RELIEF. When questioned as to how these distressing conditions could be relieved, Dr. Brunner advised that first of all the preying on the blacks by money lending, installment houses and industrial insurance schemes should be stopped and thus bring them out of their continued poverty. He also spoke on the infringement of many of the building laws and of the promiscuous packing of as many families as possible into a small space in order to collect more rents. "This strikes the tenderest nerve in the human body—the pocketbook nerve," said Dr. Brunner; "and when that sensitive point is reached, interest in charity wanes. "The colored man was never given a fair show," he said in closing. When he was worth a few dollars as a slave he was well taken care of, but since the abolition of slavery his value has deminished practically to zero and the average view taken towards his uplift especially in the south, is 'what's the use?' And I am a Southern man myself," he concluded. For these truthful and outspoken words, Dr. Brunner is receiving the everlasting praise of she colored citizens. This not the first time that the doctor has come to the rescue of our people along these lines. He is a gentleman of conviction and has sufficient backbone and ability to give vent to the same. THE TRIBUNE in behalf of the large colored population, extends Dr. Brunner appreciation for this great and signal service that he has rendered. REBENTLY Booker T. Washington made a tour of Tennessee speaking at several places to both colored and white people. At Brownville, Judge Bond after hearing the brilliant address of Dr. Washington and his plea for the Negro, gave vent to his feelings as follows: "I was born and reared here in the South, and have associated all my life with Negroes, and I feel that I owe a debt to the Negro that can never repay During the war the Southern white man left his home, his wife and his children to the care of the Negro, and I have yet to hear of an instance where that trust was betrayed. "Ever since I have sworn that I shall be grateful to the colored people and never be unfair to that race. The white man who does not admit that he owes a duty to the Negro in the sight of God is not a man; he is not a man if he does not at all times and in all circumstances acquit h meelf of that duty. If there was ever a people in this country who owed a debt to another people, it is the southern white man to the Southern Negro. The white man who lives north of the Ohio River owes a debt, too, but, his debt is as nothing compared with ours." THE TRIBUNE and every colored person commend [Judge Bond for his honest expression, and feel that if the others of our white friends would be equally expressive and act accordingly it would be the means of inspiring us more, and it would tend to discourage mob law and those who take advantage of the Negro. His Death Mourn by All Who Knew Him. Died at Robertsville, S. C., Nov. 15, the Hon. J. B. Bascomb who for years was a resident of that place. His sickness was of short duration and was brought about by an accident on the railroad which occurred on the 20th of October 1909. At the time of his death he was a large land owner and was rated as one of the most prominently successful farmers of Hampton, Co. He was a man noted for his cultured gentlemanship, honesty, industry, integrity and truthfulness, these virtues were known and acknowledged by white and colored throughout the county. The deceased was also widely known as a standard for peace between the races and on several occasions was the means of averting conflicts that gave apparent rise for racial disturbances. Had it not been for his timely interference and manly influence, many lives would have been lost and much blood shed in the racial disturbance that took place at Stafford's cross roads in 1876 where one white man was killed during a political dispute. The white men at this conflict were under command of Capt. Hal Richardson and the colored men were under command of the deceased at whose home a conference was held, which resulted in peaceful issues being brought about and a quiet retirement of the men to their homes. Being connected with the politics of this state he served as a member of the house of representatives two terms 1872-1874 associating with the honorables Samuel Green, Robert Smalls, G. A. Reed, S. J. Bampfield, Thos. E. Miller and N. B. Myers. The funeral was very largely attended by white and colored, which showed the respect and high esteem in which the deceased was held by all. A widow, two sons, and one daughter survive the deceased, one son the Rev. L. B. Bascomb of Birmingham, Ala., the other Prof. A. S. Bascomb, principal public school of Beaufort, S. C., and Mrs. E. M. Primus, teacher in the Pineland graded school. The Rev. E. J. Ravennash of Gillisolville, performed the last sad funeral rites, assisted by other visiting ministers and the remains were interred in the family burial ground at Robertsville. F. A. B. Church. Over a thousand persons made up the audience at the two steroptical exhibition of Rev J C Ucheek at the First African Baptist Church Franklin Square on Thursday evening of last week and Tuesday of this week; possibly the largest audience that has greeted his exhibition at any of the churches in the city. The pastor presides very often on last Sunday which is listened to by many with intense interest. Two candidates were baptized after the 11 o'clock a.m service. The communion service in the afternoon was impressive and attended by a large number. Nearly every seat in the spacious edifice was occupied. A number of visiting ministers and deacons occupied the front seats. Everybody seemed to have observed the day from several points of view; commemorating the death and suffering of our Lord and Saylor, and being spared to take the last communion in the year 1909. Glorious indeed the entire day in songs and praises. Many of the old heralds of the church fasted and prayed all day. The Bons and Daughters of Benevolent were the guest of honor at the evening service. The pastor in a very appropriate and timely manner addressed them and complimented them on their record as a Society and their individuality as Christians; inviting them to come again. Mr W M H Ward their faithful secretary read the standing of the society. Mrs Abbie L Johnson stands at the head of the society as president. They donated a neat sum to the pastor and church. Tomorrow evening at 8:30 a sacred concert program will be rendered. Vocal and instrumental rendition from our city's best talents. A rare musical treat for all Savannah, come and be charmed with the sweet and melodious music by the musical artists of our own race and town. See the program in another column of THE TRIBUNE.

It will be a most important meeting, as the new officers for the coming year will be elected, and about 12 new members will be admitted. Last Sunday evening Father Dahlent answered the "Question Box," a large croyd of Catholics and non Catholics was present. Many very interesting and practical questions were answered in a clear and convincing manner by the Rev. Father; the service was certainly an important and interesting. At the congregation meeting, which took place after the evening devotions, the pastor of the church announced to the congregation that next year a little paper would be published for the interest of St. Benedict's church, Father Dahlent, who is the editor of the paper, explained how that monthly paper would be a new bond of unity amongst the members of the church and a great means of spreading truth and light amongst those who misunderstand so much the teachings of the Catholic church. The whole congregation received most enthusiastically the gladdome news, and they all pleaded themselves to help Father Dahlent in making the new enterprise a grand success. The paper will be called "St. Benedict's Messenger." It will be edited in St. Benedict's rectory 518 E. Gordon street, where all news and items for publication should be sent.

It has stood like a gigantic stone wall through two panies; and like the great work, the harder the wind blow, and the more terrific the storm, the deeper this grand old institution of which the appreciative Negroes are so proud, rooted and grounded itself into their affections.

Would you mind throwing up, that corkscrew; the silly thing fell out of my hand, and we're so thirsty." — Weekly Telegraph. Stays on the Line. An improvement has been recently made in the construction of clothes props which all women who take an active part in the household routine 1 will appreciate. It would seem that the old-style prop had done service so long that there could be no improvement suggested, but a well known shortcoming of the old wooden pole is that in a wind it is soon dislodged and falls to the ground, permitting the clean clothes to drag back and forth over the dirty surface. The new pole is supplied with a double hook, which prevents the pole from leaving its place under the rope. — Boston Post. The Whole Science of It. Two women, walking along one of the business thoroughfares of the city, heard a great shouting of "Extr, extry," and looked about to see where all the noise was coming from. Across the street they spied one very small newshoy shouting with all this might. One of the women, attracting the boy's attention, called him to her and bought a paper, then, as she dropped the pennies into the little fellow's hand, she said: You mustn't make so much noise, my little man; you can sell your papers just as well without yelling so." For half: second the boy looked up at her in surprise, then exclaimed; up at her in surprise, then exclamate: "You don't understand, missus; you've got to yell like the devil to make a living in New York."—New York Times. New Kind of Trunk: In recent years there has been such a marked improvement in trunks that it is now possible to travel all over the country and keep one's clothes in as good shape as if hanging in the wardrobe at home. Not so long ago a traveler who could locate any one article in his trunk without clawing the entire contents into chios was a man of unusual dexterity, and at the end of a long journey, everything was jammed in one corner. The combination trunk designed by a New York man is so constructed that it will always stand on one end, the top and sides, having convex projections which insure this. The drawers of this trunk are so pivoted that they can be tilted to either a vertical or a horizontal position. There is a generous number of drawers and flaps, and the trunk is especially convenient for Trunk Always Upright. the safe carriage of women's hats. There are also hooks on which suits of clothing may be hung and kept always in an upright position.—Washington Star: Wary. "Benzcate of soda doesn't hurt anybody." "Perhaps not," answered the ultimate consumer. "But I'm against anything in the way of food material that has a foreign sounding name. It's sure to be expensive."—Washington Star. The average person does not experience any sensation from an electrical current until the pressure reaches about thirty-five volts. This one comes from Missouri, where one editor "showed" them why: "An evangelist asked all the men present who were honest and paid their debts to stand up. All arose but one. He said he was the local editor and couldn't pay his debts because the men standing were his delinquent subscribers."—Atlanta Constitution. CRIPPLED NEWSBOY WILL WALK AGAIN. Charlie White Has Been Cured of the Drug Habit, and Will Be Uninjured in Operation-White May Restore Him. Not many weeks ago the pathetic story of a victim of the Drug Habit, who came to Atlanta to earn a living as newsboy—rather than remain at home as a helpless, hopeless burden on the support of a poverty-streaked fairly, excited the symp by of charitable Atlantians, and arrangement* were made with Dr. W. A. Sturmes to take him at his Privat* Sanitarium and cure him of the Morphine Habit. "Now, after a course of treatment at Dr. Starnes' Saltarium, he no longer craves the 'dope'," his drawn and distorted limbs are to be straightened by an operation which the doctors have every hope will be successful. He is out of the Hospital a well unan, to throw away his crutches, and to make more money than he could ever earn by selling papers on a corner. A few weeks ago White was carried to the Grady Hospital, also to the Presbyterian Hospital, but he could not accept his declining health, so he could be done for him. Secretary Joe Logan, of the Associated Charities, telephoned to Dr. Starnes about him, he agreed to take him and cure him. He said he could be curd of the morphine, and an operation would straighten him outso he could earn a living. He had to work with his Habit, and is ready to undergo the operation. The good citizens of Atlanta must contribute $75.00 to pay for the braces and appliances, which will be necessary for Mr. White to wear after the operation. The Hospital and doctors cannot furnish these braces and appliances, so poses to make them at cost and to donate their profits for this charitable cause. In curing this apparently hopeless case, we can highly recommend to the public Dr. W. A. Starnes' Sanitarium as one of Atlantis's most beneficial Institutions, and we will aim for the good that brought to humanity and to society throughout our Southland. AN EXCESS OF COLD STORAGE. It is complained that cold storage is causing city people to forget the taste of fresh food. It also interferes with the natural course of prices. Eggs should be cheap in summer. They are not, because the cold storage houses have bought them up. Fresh poultry is scarce in the markets for the same reason. One remedy suggested is to limit the time during which food products can be lawfully kept in storage. If there were a three months' limit the cold storage people would be less anxious to go into the country at the beginning of May and strip it of its supply of eggs and of poultry, and keep on robbing the public of its sustenance all summer in order that they may sell their cold-storage products at 100 per cent profit. The producer does not profit by this greed.—Washington Herald. He Expressed No: O'Dlnlon. Here the judge took a hand in examining the ventroman. "You don't seem to understand the questions addressed to you by the attorney," he said. "What they want to know is whether you have formed or expressed any opinion in this case. That is to say, have you told anybody whether or not you believe the defendant guilty of the crime charged against him, or have you said to anybody that you believe him to be innocent?" "Course not, judge," answered the ventroman. "It isn't necessary, for me to express my opinion about him. I've known him for thirty years, and I know bland, well, he stole the cow"— "That will do, Mr. Skiles. You may stand aside."—Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Tim—Don't funny things, often suggest themselves, to a person? Mrs. Tam—I should say they do. My husband suggested himself to me. —New York Journal. Man, physically, should be like a perfectly regulated machine, each part working easily in its appropriate place. A slight derangement causes undue friction and wear, and frequently ruins the entire system. A well known educator of Boston found a way to keep the brain and the body in that harmonious so-operation which makes a joy of living. "Two years ago," she writes, "being in a condition of nervous exhaustion, I resigned my position as teacher, which I had held for over forty years. Since then the entire rest has, of course, been a benefit, but the use of Grane-Nuts has removed one great cause of illness in the past, namely, constipation, and its attendant evils. "I generally make my entire breakfast on a raw egg-beaten into-four spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, with a little hot milk or hot water added. I like it extremely, my food maslimates, and my bowels take care of themselves. I find my brain power and physical endurance much greater and I know that the use of the Grape-Nuts, has contributed largely to this result. "It is with feelings of gratitude that I write, this testimonial, and trust it may be the means of alding others in their search for health." Look in pkgs, for the little book, "The Road to Wellville." "There's a Reason." Ever read the above letters? A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest. OUR FIRST BOTANICAL GARDEN. Still Flourishing in Philadelphia After 180 Years. The first botanical garden in America was established near Philadelphia about 1730 by John Bartram, a Quaker, who was also the first native American botanist. It was, a small affair (the entire property comprised only five acres) and a part of the limited space was occupied by the house, built by his own hands; but the garden was a remarkable project indeed for those days and is known to have contained many chicps, specimens. William Barfram, son of John, is perhaps better known as a botistin because of the fact that his account of his extended travels in the Southern Atlantic States was published and contains many important observations upon the plants of the regions explored by him. He maintained the garden established by his father, and after his death the property remained in the hands of owners who were deeply concerned in its preservation for many years. During a short period of neglect perilous damage was done to the old garden, but within the last twenty years it has become the property of the city of Philadelphia, and is now a city park. According to the Journal of the New York Botanical Garden its collection of trees and shrubs has always been notable and the old house is still in an excellent state of preservation. The second American botanical garden in North America was also near Philadelphia and was established in 1773 by Humphry Marshall, a first cousin of John Bartram and like him a Quaker. The old garden has long since passed into a state of decay, but the house built by Marshall with his own hands in 1773 is still in an excellent state of preservation. Humphry Marshall has the distinction of having written the first botanical work ever published in the United States, an account of our native trees and shrubs, printed in Philadelphia in the latter part of the year 1785. Perfectly Safe; "I've just spanked Ned. I don't know what course you'll pursue with Stephen," remarked the mother's intimate friend. "What have the boys, been up to now?" was the timorous query. "About the very last thing you'd imagine. They've been eating luncheon with the Italian laborers working along the car track. And you might as well know the worst at once—they've been eating meat cooked in a shovel." With a frantic vision of a hopelessly germ-riddled child Stephen's mother called her interesting heir to speedy account. "I didn't eat luncheon with any strange men," he indignantly persisted. "Those men are all, my dear friends. And I didn't eat any meat cooked in a shovel, either." "Only some gravy cooked in a shovel by one of the men." Then perceiving the wild alarm in the maternal countenance. "But if was clean, all right, mother, for I saw the man wipe off the shovel with his hat before he poured in the gravy." — New York Times. Against Gambling. "I think it's simply awful," said the first woman, "the way men remain away from home at night and risk their earnings; at the game of poker. My husband is a perfect friend about the game. One night he had three friends at our house, and they played that horrid game until nearly half-past three in the morning." "My!" excalmed the other woman, the one with the 5-A plaid waist. "And does he lose much money?" "No-o," says the first one. "He hasn't really lost any money. In fact, he's been winning a little bit. But then, that doesn't make it right. I would, he opposed to gambling, no matter how much he might win. And just as soon as my husband wins enough to finish paying for my fall and winter clothes that I've picked out I'm going to make him stop it. If he doesn't, I'll leave him. I just simply won't live with a man who's a gambler."—New York Times. - Speeding the Parting Guest. On our return voyage there was—there always is, you know—a woman whom every one was talking about. She was flirting admirably, right and left; and several times a day she astonished us by appearing in gowns of rather too vivid hues. She had singled me out, for special attention, and you can conjecture my astonishment when, just before docking, she came out in wildow's weeds. I sought her at ones and, with much sympathy, asked what it meant. "Why, didn't you know?" she asked gazly—"didn't you know?" I'm bringing him home with me. "Brushing him—" "Yes, my husband,"—seeking my astonishment. "He's below—in the hold," pointing downward with her ungloved jeweled finger.—"New York Times. "Suggestion? Humph! Did you ever hear of a real cure effected by 'suggestion?'" "I personally knew of one. I once suggested, to a young fellow that if he didn't want to have a big dog chasing him off the premises, he'd better quit coming to my house, and it cured him, of the habit." Chicago Tribune.

Sheep Good Property Now. Our sheepmen seem to be feeling good almost everywhere. Good prices for wool; a strong demand for finished mutton, and away-up figures for feeders, along with the present high tariff duties agreed to for some years to come, all tend to give stability and promise to a business that is all too apt to be affected by little things. fect below sea level, that measure considerably more than ten feet height. Satisfactory crops are in but on limited areas as yet, in Mont and Florida. New York grown it for over 100 years in clay and gravel; Nebraska grows in her western sand hills with plowing, as does Nevada in her s brush desert. The depleted soils of Alabama and rich corn la Sheepmen can confidently go abacad now, laying a good foundation to their business, confident that they cannot make a mistake in putting good money into good rams, and good feed and care into the whole flock. The outlook is certainly the best all around that it has been for years.—Dakota Farmer. Color For Eyes. Regardless of the results of scientific researches it is of interest to poultry raisers to know that in the markets distinction is made for and against the brown egg. For instance, in Boston brown eggs bring from one to two cents a dozen more than white ones, while in New York just the reverse is the case. In Chicago there is little choice between the colors, although one club pays a cent a dozen more for white. The poultry raisers must remember that a white egg must be white, not shading to brown, and a brown egg must be of a rich color. One enterprising poultryman near the Chicago market grades eggs for color and ships them in baskets holding fifteen dozen each. On the paper covering the brown he stencils, "Strictly Choice Brown Eggs." and upon the covering of the white, "White Leghorn Eggs." This care always nets him two gents above the market price for the ordinary "fancy" eggs.—Modern Farm. Cull Eyes. Owing to the bright outlook for sheep, many will no doubt be tempted to keep over some old ewes that really ought to be weeded out and fattened and solid. This is all right in a small flock, if a little extra feed and care can be given them, but in a large bunch to do this is a mistake, unless these old or thin ewes are pulled out early, given extra feed so as to bring them into winter in good heart, and then kept separated from the stronger sheep during the entire feeding season. To keep over old ewes and let them run with the main flock is generally a grave mistake. Not infrequently they will die off just as all the expense and bother of wintering them is about over, and much more is lost if they had been killed or given away in the fall. We have made some of the easiest money we ever did by buying old ewes of good-frame and heart in the fall, and giving them a little extra attention, roomy, sunlit quarters and good feed during the winter. This class of ewes, if uniform, of good frame and nourishingly fed, will produce a better lot of lambs than most yearlings.—Dakota Farmer. Lard Press. Hog killing with the majority of farmers comes only once a year, and at that time a lard press is a good thing to have, but an iron one costs a good price and is a long time in paying its cost. Here is a cut of a wooden one that I, constructed in about half a day, dressing all material except legs and bottom of bench. I made a box sixteen inches long and six inches square out of one-inch pine, closing all sides and one end, and to make it lard and but- ```markdown ``` ter tight, put strips of calico in all joints, putting in end; then make a lever five feet long, with two or three-inch mortise at end to fit tenon on post, and one sixteen inches farther up for end of plunger; bored four holes, two at each end of bench, as shown in diagram, and put in four legs about twenty inches long; put one-half-inch wooden pin through mortises and tenons and press was complete, except that in order to get the lard it was necessary to puncture the bottom of box in a dozen or more places with one-half-inch bit. This did good work.—E. F. Isley, Hunt City, Ill. Alfalfa Grows Everywhere. While experts have been declaring that alfalfa would only grow in certain soils and in certain climates it has proven adaptability to nearly all climates and almost all soils. It produces with a rainfall as scant as fourteen inches, and in the Gulf States flourishes with sixty-five inches. It gives crops at an elevation of $000 feet above sea level, and in Southern California it grows below sea level to a height of six feet or over, with nine cuttings a year, aggregating ten to twelve tons. An authenticated photograph in possession of the writer shows a wonderful alfalfa plant raised in the (irrigated) desert of Southern California, sixty feet below sea level, that measured considerably more than ten feet in height. Satisfactory crops are raised, but on limited areas yet, in Vermont and Florida. New York has grown it for over 100 years in her clay and gravel; Nebraska grows it in her western sand hills without plowing, as does Nevada in her sagebrush desert. The depleted cotton soils of Alabama and rich corn lands of Illinois and Missouri each respond generously with profitable yields to the enterprising farmer, while its accumulated nitrogen and the sub-solling it effects are making the rich land more valuable and giving back to the crop-worn land the precious elements of which it has been in successive generations despoiled by a conscienceless husbandry.—From Coburn's "The Book of Alfalfa." Some Useful Incubator Advice. About the best advice a beginner can take about running an incubator is to follow the directions given by the incubator maker implicitly. If there is anything in the directions you don't understand, write and ask the incubator man about it and he will explain the bothersome direction. As a general thing, it may be said that the incubator people are plain and easily understood. Different incubators are built to have the thermometer in different parts of the machine and to represent different theories about moisture, heat, etc., and no hard-and-fast rules can be laid down except by the maker of the machine, who is supposed to understand the theory on which it is built. Therefore, follows his directions or have his consent to change the method of operating the machine. Running an incubator is not a complicated affair and requires little skill and experience. In fact, many of the best hatches are made by beginners, and simply for the reason that they follow the directions carefully and do not try to experiment with the incubator or neglect to care for it. The smart Aleck who knows more about an incubator in one or two years than the maker learned in a lifetime is generally the follow who kicks about the incubator making poor hatches. It requires more skill to feed and handle hens than it does to get a good batch out of an incubator. When it comes to operating a brooder as successfully as the old hen raises her chicks you are up against a little harder proposition. There is no denying the fact that the incubators are developed more than the brooder proposition. Nevertheless, there are many successful brookers on the market, and no one need be afraid to buy an incubator or brooder and follow directions—Indiana Farmer. Feed When Milking. This is a question some of our dairy-readers have asked, and there are various opinions on the subject. Here we have the views of an old dairyman of experience and observation in a letter to Farm and Home, of England. He says: My opinion is that it is best not to feed while milking where this can possibly be managed. Many people think that while a cow is eating her attention is on the eating and not on the milking. Quite so; but if a cow is to give the best results in milking she must be taught to pay attention to being milked: how can she if her attention is fixed on eating? It will come naturally to her to give her milk freely. Milking is not natural; neither is housing or feeding, yet cows look forward to housing and feeding time quite naturally, though it is not natural instinct for them to do so. Just so with milking; the habit is formed, and it becomes almost as though it was their nature. Well, get them into the habit of paying attention, and you can depend upon their giving their milk down freely. You can strip them always quite clean, and so develop the milking capacities of your cows. A cow usually gives her milk best when she is completely at rest, and this is when she has satisfied her appetite and is standing still, comfortably chewing her cud and looking half asleep. Of course, there are difficulties. There is the kicker, the newly calved heifer, and the newcomer. Well, if those must be fed during milking, then the practice can be broken when they are quieted down, or when the time of year comes round for them to be turned out to grass, when hand feeding is not resorted to or is lessened. But if ever there was a way of disturbing cows when in the house for milking, it is to give a certain one amongst them a feed. This difficulty can be obviated by housing the particular one by itself, or where there are several to be dealt with, they may be housed together by themselves. As to cleanliness, it is desirable that, to be scrupulously clean, no feeding should take place during milking. I have experienced great difficulties in abstracting the milk from cows while they were eating, especially those that were not accustomed to it. I have had difficulties in persuading cows to let down their milk, both when they were feeding and when they were standing apparently comfortable, chewing the cud, especially so at this time of year, when there seems to be a natural tendency to dry. In this the only remedy is to have them milked regularly, and insist on their being stripped clean.

Pain in the back is pain in the kidneys, in most cases, and it points to the need of a special remedy to relieve and cure the congestion or inflammation of the kidneys that is interfering with their work and causing that pain that makes you say: "Oh, my back!" A Henry Gullatt, of Greensboro, Ga., says: "Two years ago kidney disease fastened itself on me. I had awful dizzy spells, headaches and urinary irregularities. My back was weak and tender.

(At-50'09) NICARAGUA DEclaration of Independence U.S. REMARKABLE STORY OF A PLOT AGAINST ROCKEFELLER EIGHTY HUNTERS DIE THIS YEAR Cleveland, Ohio.—A remarkable story of a plot to kidnap or assassinate John D. Rockefeller was made public here. The story seems incredible, but thorough investigation by the New York American's correspondent shows: That Harold Sawyer Smith, the man who revealed the alleged plot, is a mill owner of Minerva, Stark County, Ohio, a man of means and whose responsibility is vouchered for by Chief of Police W. H. Smith, of Canton. That the police chiefs of several Ohio cities have taken Mr. Smith's story seriously. That, according to Mr. Smith, Mr. Rockefeller himself declared his belief in Mr. Smith's narration. One Principal. Two Hirelings. The alleged plotters are three in number, so far as known, one principal and two hirelings. Mr. Smith says he overheard a conversation between the hirelings at Alliance on Sunday night and that they referred to the man who hired them as "Bill," a man of money. Mr. Smith, accompanied by James Stamberger, chief of the East Cleveland police, told the story of the alleged plot to the master of the Standard Oil in the Forest Hill living room. Guards about the estate were doubled and plans were made for what appears to be a hasty departure for Pocantico Hills. Mr. Rockefeller was scheduled to speak that night at the banquet of the Men's Club of the Euclid Avenue Baptist Church, known as Rockefeller's church. He had accepted the invitation only last Friday. He failed to appear, but sent word that he must pack for his intended departure for the East. Mrs. Rockefeller, whose illness has delayed the usual October start for the East, was willing to attempt the journey. She is in better health than for several months. When the party of three—Mr. Rockefeller, Mrs. Rockefeller and the former's secretary—boarded the private car Brookline at the East 105th street station of the New York Central Line at 3.45 o'clock this afternoon the little group at the depot was half made up of detectives in plain clothes. The rest of the Rockefeller party, contrary to custom, had been sent to the Union station. Podges Camera at Depot. Mr. Rockefeller alighted from his motor car for a moment. A photographer aimed a camera at him, and he jumped into the auto and ordered it kept moving down the street at a swift pace until the train's arrival. Meanwhile a police search is being made for the men described by Mr. Smith. He told the story first to the police officer as he was passing Kohl's of Cleveland, and then to Chief Stamberger, of East Cleveland, who took him to Forest Hill. His story follows: "I was visiting in Alliance Sunday. About 8.45 p. m. I started for the church to meet my brother. I walked *Chicago.*—In the hunting season recently closed the number of dead reached 30 and the injured 43. In 1908, 57 were killed; in 1907, 82, and in 1906, 74. Wisconsin and upper Michigan continue to furnish the greatest number of victims. Included in this year's fatal accidents are several well known men. Jr. John R. More, surgeon for the United States Steel Corporation, was killed at Ironwood, MIch. H. L. Bacon, also a physician, died from an accident at New London, Wis., and John G. Hoetzel, a real estate man of Milwaukee, was killed on a hunting trip. Several cases were reported where the careless marksmans angered other hunters by firing at them, and were themselves frightened by a return fire. It is so generally known in the Wisconsin woods that any person who is fired upon by mistake for a deer will try to shoot the careless marksmans that the hunters are careful to make no mistake in what they are shooting at. Each year, however, Pullman Company Ordered by Mexico to Get Rid of Americans, Mexico City.—The Government has notified the Pullman Company that it must replace all of its American and negro conductors and porters upon its cars in Mexico with Mexicans as rapidly as possible. Some time ago an order was issued that all conductors and porters upon cars of this company operated upon Mexican railroads must be able to speak Spanish. The latest order of the Government is in line with the movement to Mexicanize the roads. up a railroad track near the church and stopped when I heard some one talking in a dark shed. One voice said: "I don't see why we came here from Pittsburgh. We might have walted until to-morrow and gone to Canton to meet Bill. We might as well get our money for killing old John D. We will get what is coming to us, whether we kill him or kidnap him. Bill and the other fellow have plenty of money and are willing to pay well for putting old Rockefeller out of the way." I sneaked around to head the fellows off, to get a good look at them. I strolled as I was getting away, because it was dark. They saw me, but I hurried along and reached them around the next block. I had good look at both of them. They recognized me and remarked that they had seen me before, but I hurried along and nailed no attention. "Monday I went to Canton and told Chief of Police H. W. Smith. I expected to come to Cleveland Monday, and Chief Smith insisted that I tell Chief Kohler. I saw him Monday night. He took the matter up with Chief Stamberger, in East Cleveland. He was greatly interested. "Stamberger insisted that I accompany him to Forest Hill to tell John D. just what I heard. I did not like to, but conusted when he insisted. I did not just what I heard and Rockefeller told me. I asked me and asked that I remain in Cleveland Tuesday to make identification. In case arrests were made. I told him I was doing this for principle and refused when he offered to pay my expenses while in Cleveland. I am a responsible man and did not come with an imaginary story for the sake of notorius or gain. I would not have come here except that my business called me here anyway. I preferred to leave the matter in the hands of the Canton police." Bears a Good Reputation. Canton, Ohio. — Harold Sawyer Smith bears a good reputation in Minerva and Canton. Here he is known to several lawyers and physicians who vouch for his integrity. He is a man of family, the son-in-law of Edward Tillett, well-known lumber dealer, with whom he lives one and one-half miles east of Minerva. William H. Smith, foreman in the Morgan Engineering Works, in Alliance, is the brother Smith was visiting Sunday. He also has a brother-in-law in Alliance, Montgomery Tillett, proprietor of a shooting gallery. Chief Smith, of the Canton police, has complete faith that Smith is telling the truth. "He was recommended to the A. H. Smith, an attorney of this city. He told his story straightforward manner. In detail it has not varied since it was first related, although he has repeated it a number of times. I am coyanced he is not drawing on his imagination." Smith returned to Canton full of praise for Rockefeller. "He is one of the finest men I ever had the pleasure of meeting," he said. there is a new crop of city hunters, who have to learn these dangers all over, and it is these hunters who frequently cause the fatal accidents. The majority of the victims were shot by companions. The hunting accidents of the season follow: Killed. Inj'd.

The local lodges are arranging to observe St. John's Day by a joint installation on December 27th. St. Mark's Lodge at Dawson is the banner lodge in the state as regards membership. She has nearly two hundred members. For years St. Marks and Eureka Lodge of Savannah were contending for this honor but St. Mark now has the banner. Worshipful Master J. W. Weston is a hard worker, backed up by an efficient secretary in the person of Bro. D. S. Bridges. All honor to St Marks. We are willing to believe that the world grows better, that man is becoming more and more appreciative of the means placed at his disposal by a kind Providence for the promotion of his welfare and happiness, and that true Masonry as an acknowledged means to that end is shining with an ever purer and steadier light. Henry S. Halnes, New Jersey. What is done and borne in the shades of privacy, in the hard and beaten path of daily care and toil, full of uncelebrated sacrifices; in the suffering, and sometimes insulted suffering, that wears to the world a cheerful brow; in the long strife of the spirit, resisting pain, penury and neglect carried on in the inmost depths of the heart—what is done and borne, and wrought there is a higher glory, and shall inherit a brighter crown. There are three kinds of Masons. The Mason who has taken the degrees out of curiosity and after being accepted as a member never finds his way again to the lodge room and forgets what he has heard, but has not understood. The mason who attends when an election is to take place, or when he can 'exhibit himself in a public procession, always pays his dues and demands to be buried with pomp and show, and the Mason who at his first inception begins to see the beauties of the craft and to understand its teachings, and who studies to know and serves his lodge with faithfulness. He pays every obligation, sustains his lodge, accepts every assignment of duty and may be depended upon always for his work. My conception of Masonry is that it is an absolutely necessary working force in the betterment of the world's condition — that no greater misfortune to man can be conceived than the loss of Masonic influence would be and that in so far as it falls to make universal man better and happler, within reasonable limitations, it falls to be Masonry; and if that is true conception, we want to increase its unity, to mass its resources and make the name of Mason mean oneness of fraternal purpose and an absolute union of fraternal effort. Our temple is ornamental. Nothing that represents all the higher graces and best attributes of the heart, as Masonry does, can fall be that when such graces and attributes are the tracings of divinity in man—James B. McFatrich, Chicago. Affiliation with a lodge of Masons, complete understanding and a proper exemplification of the sublime work, dutiful and strict obedience to the written law laid down by this or any grand jurisdiction of themselves will not erect a Mason. One may have all these accomplishments in the highest degree and yet fall at the supreme test, which is the heart test. He may have the outward polish, the correct exterior, the superficial attainments and yet lack the germ from which springs the full and ripened fruit. I confess the test is crucial, yet it is by this test alone that we judge Masons, that we judge men "As a man is in his heart, so is he."

In addition to the usual enumera- tion of instances in which the number three occurs in Masonic symbolism Brother Carroll Cook of California enlarges upon the subject and cites the following: "The Great Architect of the Universe when He brought us into existence, wove into our lives and being and into all our natures this same muscic three." mystic three We are born, we live, we die; birth life and death are our three mortal states We eat, we drink, we breathe; three means of nourishment.

Vaults of State Banks Show Prosperity. $100,000,000 ON DEPOSIT Bank Statements Show a Gain of One Hundred Per Cent in Cash Wealth. Result of 15 Cent Cotton. Atlanta, Ga.-In approximately 500 state banks doing business in Georgia today, there is deposited to the credit of Georgians nearly $100,000,000, an increase in deposit accounts of more than 100 per cent in twelve months. A splendid illustration of the difference between 9 and 15-cent cotton! This marvelous increase in actual cash wealth in the state is indicated in the official bank statements showing the condition of the Georgia banks at the close of business on November 16, the majority of which have been received in the office of State Treasurer and State Bank Examiner J. Pope Brown. The last official statement of 1908 bore the date of November 27 some ten days later than that of the statement called for this year, but the dates are close enough to admit of interesting comparison. The total deposits in state banks November 27, 1908, were $46,970,509.63. The accurate figures for 1909 will not be available for several weeks yet, as all of the statements have not yet been received, and the compilation of them is a tremendous work after they are all in hand. But from the figures furnished the bank examiner it has been found that the total deposits subject to check in 128 state banks, about one-fourth of the entire number, aggregate $25,717,053. These 128 banks were selected at random, and each of them is in a different Georgia county; so it will be seen that the state's prosperity is widespread and general. Upon the basilis of these figures, which do not include deposits in the shape of time certificates, amounting to a considerable sum, it is apparent that the total deposits in Georgia's state banks will reach the figure stated—nearly $100,000,000. In addition to the foregoing Georgia has about 110 national banks. In 1908, November, 27, the total deposits in these national banks approximated $30,000,000. There is every indication that their deposits have increased in like proportion, and that the total cash deposits in Georgia today, or upon November 16, to be more accurate, aggregated the magnificent sum of $160,000,000. In other words, Georgians have just about twice as much available cash today as they had twelve months ago, all of which is a remarkable tribute to the agricultural productivity of the state. This growth is not confined to any one section. The bank whose deposits do not show a healthy increase take it wherever you will in the state, is a rarity. Naturally, however, the greatest percentage of increase is found in some sections of South Georgia, where crops met with no unfavorable conditions, and there was a full yield of cotton ready for the market at highest cash price. GEORGIA LEADS. This State Holds the Palm for Illicit Distilling. Washington, D. C.—The annual report of the commissioner of internal revenue disclosure almost startling facts bearing on the prohibition law, which is supposed to be in effect in Georgia. This report furnishes the very interesting information that the federal government through the bureau of internal revenue, issued retail liquor license for the fiscal year ending June 30 of the present year to 1,091 dealers. But this is not all, in prohibition Georgia the report discloses the fact that 18 wholesale liquor dealers' licenses were issued during the past year. A resort to the records of the commissioner of internal revenue shows that there has been comparatively little diminution in the issuance of federal license for the dispensation of booze since the operation of statewide prohibition. In 1907, which was prior to the enactment of the state prohibition law, the number of retail liquor dealers licensed by the federal government numbered 1,427, and the wholesalers were 105. In that year the retailers of malt liquor authorized to do business in the state were only 207. Prohibition laws seem to make this class of wet goods dispensers, thrive. Last year the retail malt liquor dealers authorized to do business in the state had reached the grand total of 1,521. From a group of 207 to more than 1,000 within a period of two years, merely going some. But the 18 wholesale liquor dealers and the 1,091 retailers, who made a mockery of prohibition in Georgia last year, do not tell the whole story. The report of the commissioner of national revenue disclosures fact that two grand rapes were registered in the state last year, and, in addition, one more was operated. Georgia holds the palm for illicit distilling, while North Carolina runs a close second. In Georgia last year 394 illicit distilleries were seized and 623 destroyed. In North Carolina 212 were seized and 374 destroyed. Alabama is third in the race, with 173 seized and 231 destroyed. There were 24 registered distilleries, reported for seizure in North Carolina. blossom and fruit, must pass-the products of our orchards. The earth, air and water are necessary to our existence.
