The Savannah Tribune. VOL. XXVI. ALL LABOR FACES CONTEMPT CHARGE The Supreme Court Stops Argument in Dispute. CONTEMPT PROCEEDINGS GO ON. Concluding That the Only Question Possible To Decide Was Who Should Pay the Costs, Tribunal Halts Proceedings — Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison Sit In Court and Listen To Plea In Their Behalf By Judge Parker—Argument Concludes Monday. Washington, D. C. (Special).—Reaching the conclusion that the Bucks Stove and Range Company, of St. Louis, Mo., and the American Federation of Labor had settled their disputes out of court, the Supreme Court of the United States Friday stopped the oral argument of the so-called "boycott" case of the former against the latter on the theory that no issue in it remained for the court to pass upon. Following that action the court listened to oral argument on the "contempt case" embracing the charges of the Bucks Stove and Range Company that Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor; John Mitchell, its vice-president, and Frank Morrison, its secretary, had violated the injunction of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in the "boycott" case. Each was held to be guilty and sentenced to jail. Friday they sat side by side within the bar of the court listening to the arguments as to whether or not they should serve their sentences. "It is commonly stated that this case is dead," said Justice Lurton, interrupting argument of the "boycott" case. I wish you would tell us if we are trying a moot case?" Daniel Davenport, addressing the court in behalf of the company, said that his client had informed him; after two appeals, that neither the controversies at the base of the case, nor the case itself had been settled, although a friendly relation existed between the company and the federation. He then produced a copy of an agreement which, he said, his client had sent him very recently, providing for the adjustment of disputes and for the publication by the American Federation of Labor that the Federation was on friendly relations with the company. Chief Justice White asked Judge Alton B. Parker, one of the counsel for the American Federation of Labor, what he had to say. Mr. Parker responded that there was no doubt but that it was moot. Thereupon the Chief Justice announced that the court would not continue to hear the arguments, when the only question possible was to determine who should pay the costs. TWENTY-THREE TO DIE. Haytian Officers and Sailors Who Killed Officials. Port au Prince, Haytl (Special). Twenty-three officers, non-commissioned officers and sailors, survivors of the Haytian gunboat Liberte, which sank at sea off Port de Paix last October following an explosion, were tried by a military tribunal, charged with mutiny. They were found guilty of connection with the massacre of the admiral of the Liberte, and several Haytian generals who were on board, and of burning the boat. All were condemned to death. Big Telephone Building. New York (Special).—The largest telephone exchange building in the world will be the next addition to New York's highest structures. The New York Telephone Company, a subsidiary of the Bell interests, announced Friday that two million dollars would be invested for a plot extending from Walker to Lispenard streets, between Church street and West Broadway, and a building 25 stories high. Switchboards will be provided for handling 60,000 local subscribers and a board for long distance calls will be worked by 200 operators. Eridence Disregarded. Chattanooga, Tenn. (Special). Five members of the Hamilton county grand jury were discharged Friday by Judge McReynolds for refusal to vote indictments in cases of alleged whisky sales, where, 'Attorney General Whitaker stated to the court, plain evidence requiring indictments was placed before them. Abolishes Death Penalty. Manila. (Special).—The Philippine Assembly Thursday passed a bill *bollising the death penalty.* Negotiated Canadian Treaty: S. R. R. Philander C. Knox, Secretary of State.

Revelation of several attempts to buy the editorial support of the New York Journal of Commerce in favor of ship subsidy legislation, which that paper has consistently opposed, was made to the House Ship Subsidy Investigating Committee Wednesday by Alfred W. Dodsworth, business manager of the Journal of CqCommerce and Commercial Bulletin. Earlier in the day Paul G. Fournier, representing the Uranium Steamship Line, against which the so-called London conference lines, controlling what is alleged to be the 98 per cent. of the Atlantic passenger traffic, are arrayed, told how railroad authorities in this country, notably the Central Passenger Association at Chicago, had refused to sell tickets routed over the independent lines unless the independents obtained the sanction of the conference lines. As the result of the evidence Mr. Dodsworth's brother, John W. Dodsworth, the editor of the Journal of Commerce, will be recalled to Washington to explain why he failed to enlighten the committee during his recent testimony. It is probable that Charles A. Conant, of New York, a former Washington correspondent, may be asked to throw light on an offer to subsidize the paper, claimed to have been forwarded through him to the Journal of Commerce, which he then represented, and the Federal authorities may take note of the evidence as to the railroad's discrimination against the independent steamship lines on foreign tickets. Suffrage Bill Passed. Sacramento, Cal. (Special).—The State Senate, by a vote of 33 to 5, adopted Senator Bell's constitutional amendment conferring equal suffrage upon women. SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1911. SCHENK JURY IS DISMISSED Move For New Trial Will Be Made. Wheeling, W. Va. (Special).—The curtain was rung down in the sensational case of Laura Farnsworth Schenk at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon when the jury appeared in court and Foreman Phillip Burke announced that they had been unable to agree on a verdict. "Your honor," said Foreman Burke, as he arose from his chair, addressing Judge Jordan, "the jury stands 11 to 1 for acquittal." He was immediately Interrupted by the Court, who said that no such statement had been asked for; that the only thing the Court wanted to know was whether they had been able to arrive at a verdict. Every juror then answered "no." Judge Jordan then discharged the jury. Juryman Albert Lasch, who on Saturday evening roared out from the jury box, "My God, has this thing got to go over until Monday!" when the prosecutor said he could not finish, was the first to be interviewed. He said: "The first ballot, taken within 30 minutes after we went to the jury room, was 11 to 1 in favor of acquittal. Heymann was that one, and he continued to hang like the Haman of old until the very last, when we decided to come into court disagreed." It developed after the trial was nearly completed that Lasch was a relative of Mrs. Minnie Lasch, the special friend of Mrs. Schenk, who testified in her behalf, and that Heymann was a brother of an electrician employed at the Schenk packing house. 120 Jap Fishermen Drowned. Seattle (Special).-The steamer Seattle Marn brings news that a number of Japanese fishing vessels were lost in a heavy storm near Owari Bay, January 8. Twenty vessels were wrecked and 120 men drowned. INDORSED BY TAFT SENT TO CONGRESS Reciprocity Agreement Between United States and Canada. WILL-REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING The Canadian Parliament At Ottawa Receives the Agreement At the Same Time—The President's Message Says That It Is the Wish Of the American People That We Enter Into a More Cordial Relationship With Canada—Duty On Wood Pulp Removed. Washington, D. C. (Special). Within less than 10 months after the initiation by President Taft of negotiations with the Canadian government there was laid simultaneously before the American Congress at Washington and the Canadian Parliament at Ottawa a reciprocity arrangement, which, if approved by the legislative branches of the two governments, will surely do much, in the opinion of the ngoptators, to enlarge and liberalize the trade between the United States and Canada. Usually such arrangements take the form of a treaty, but in the present instance this was not done, with the result that considerable time will be saved in the consummation of the agreement, which can be made effective by a simple majority vote in each of the two legislatures. In the case of a treaty it would be necessary, in the United States at least, to have the approval of a full two-thirds of the Senate, but now the way is clear for the Ways and Means Committee of the House and the Finance Committee of the Senate to proceed as it would with any tariff bill. Reduces Cost Of Living. The animating purpose of Secretary Knox appears to have been to secure a reduction of the "high cost of living," by greatly enlarging the freelist so far as it relates to foodstuffs coming from Canada. On the other hand, he secured a notable abatement of duties on a number of American products consumed in Canada. Prominent among these is bituminous coal, which is now exported to Canada to the value of several million dollars annually. There is also a much better opening for American farm machinery and implements, which will be appreciated by the many American farmers who have gone into the Canadian Northwest. It is a notable fact that no less than 91 per cent. of the Canadian goods Imported into the United States will benefit by considerable reductions of duty, and only 9 per cent. of our Canadian imports will remain unaffected. Wood Pulp and Paper. The intention of the commissioners to remove all duties on printing paper and wood pulp was affected so far as the Dominion government could do it outside the limitations existing in the laws of the Canadian provincial governments imposing export duties on wood cut on crown lands in Canada, but it would appear that the American duty will lie only upon the comparatively small proportion of Canadian pulp or wood cut on such crown lands. The agreement, to become effective, must be put in the shape of law amendatory of the existing tariff acts in the United States and in Canada, and it will require sharp work to accomplish this so far as Congress is concerned, in the brief period of time remaining of the present session. Prompt Passage Of the Treaty Is Urged Upon Congress. Washington, D. C. (Special). Urging the prompt passage of a reciprocity treaty between the United States and Canada, President Taft sent to Congress a special message, accompanied by the agreement looking to such treaty, reached by representatives of the Canadian government and of the State Department at a recent conference in this city. "Identity of interest of two peoples linked together by race, language, political institutions and geographical proximity," the President gives as the chief reasons for such reciprocity as he recommends. The President says that he feels it is "the wish of the Amercan people" that this country enter into a "more intimate and cordial relationship with Canada." Liberality of view in dealing with the proposed treaty is recommended by President Taft. "We have reached a stage in our own development that calls for a statesmenlike and broad view of our future economic status and its requirements," he said. "While equivalency should be sought in an arrangement of this character, an exact balance of financial gain is neither imperative nor attainable." THE UNIVERSAL RACE CONGRESS. Object Will Be to Discuss Relations of Peoples of the West and Those of the East. London, England. — (Special.)—A congress, which promises to be one of the most remarkable held in the capital of the British empire, is being organized at present. Its object will be to discuss the general relations subsisting between the peoples of the West and those of the East, with a view to encouraging between them a fuller understanding, friendlier feelings, and a heartier co-operation. Arrangements are completed that China, Japan, Indian, Turkey, Persia, Egypt besides the Negro race in America and Africa, should be represented by eminent speakers of their own kith and kin. The list of writers of papers includes Sir Sydney Oliver, governor of Jamaica; Sir Charles Bruce, late governor of Mauritius; Sir John Macdonell, master of the supreme court; Sir Harry Johnston, the famous traveler; Sir Charles Dilke; the Hon. G. note in England and abroad. No less than a dozen governors of British colonies, eight British prime ministers, and over forty colonial bishops are to be found on the list of sympathizers, which also includes nearly thirty presidents of parliament, 130 professors of international law, and the majority of the members of the Hague court of the second Hague conference. The Right Hon. Lord Weardale is the president of the congress, and the Hon. W. Pembler Reeves, the chairman of the executive. G. Spiller, honorable organizer. 63 South Hill park, London, N.W.—Gold Coast Leader. SCHOOL GETS A DONATION. Piney Woods Normal and Industrial School at Braxton, Miss. is Prospering. Braxton, Miss.—(Special.)—J. R. Webester of Comby has donated the framing for a two-story fifty-room dormitory and domestic science building for the Piney Woods Normal and Industrial Institute, a Negro institution located at this place. The merchants of Braxton have also given very liberally toward the building fund, and the school will be launched under very favorable auspices. One of its principal benefactors is Edward N. Taylor, an ex-slave, and one of the most highly respected Negroes in this county, who gave forty acres of land and $50 toward the establishment of the school. The main purpose of the institution is to teach the country Negro boys and girls the dignity of labor and how to till the soil and engage in domestic science pursuits intelligently. The head of the institution is Prof. Laurence Clifton Jones, and confidence is felt that he will build up a school for Negroes that will eventually compare favorably with the famous Tuskegee institute. WHITE WOMAN MARRIES INDIAN. Former Wife of Representative Mc Guire Becomes Bride of Ex- Football Player. Pawnee, Okla.—(Special.)—Mrs. B S. McGuire, divorced wife of the representative in congress from the first Oklahoma district, was married here to George D. LeMott, former star football playe, for the Haskell Indian school at Lawrence, Kans. LeMott is now an attache of the Osage Indian agency, and is a member of the Pawnee city council. Mrs. McGuire has been in the real estate business and insurance since her divorce. She took a great interest in the recent campaign of McGuire and worked for his success. Texas Official Fired Him, But Sent for Him When the White Fellow Couldn't Make Good. Austin, Texas. — (Special.) — Tom Brown, the congenial porter in the adjutant general's department, won another distinction last week. The incoming governor and administration made the announcement that they were going to make changes in all departments from chief clerks to spittoon washers. Mr. Brown, who has been in this position for several years and connected with several fraternities and also quartermaster general of the colored militia, came under this order. A Swede was given the position, but after a week's trial was discharged, and Tom Brown was reinstated. Governor Campbell, the retiring governor, said: "Tom is the best penman in the state capitol and his services are required in all the departments at different intervals to do expert and fancy writing of different documents." SENSIBLE ADVICE GIVEN TO NEGRO FARMERS WILLIAM H. HOLTZCLAW OF UTICA, MISS., ADDRESSES FARMERS. A COMMON SENSE ADDRESS Race Urged Not to Keep Burden of Responsibility on White Man and- Utica, Miss.—(Special.)—In a very strong, common sense address to Negro farmers William H. Holtzclaw, principal and founder of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute, told some remarkable stories of struggles by individual Negro farmers and their efforts to purchase land and educate their children. In his address to the farmers which began the exercises, Professor Holtzclaw gave the members of his race some pointed advice. He explained the object of the conference to be an honest effort on the part of the institution to be of some service to the people of the community. Shiftlessness, idleness and being always in debt were strongly condemned, and on the other hand he told his audience that if they wanted to enjoy prosperity they must get it just as other people. "The price of success is Industry, thrift, economy and morality. With these you must mix a good degree of foresight," he said. "For nearly fifty years you have been renting land and have worked it until you have literally worked it to death. Yet there are some in this house today who are not worth one cent more than they were forty-eight years ago. The Negro is in the best shape of anybody I know of to buy land and try to have a home, for if he falls in the effort, he has not far to fall. "One great trouble with us as Negroes is that we are not-brave enough. We are afraid of responsibility. So long as we can get a white man to furnish all the money and take all the responsibility, we will do, very well. If we are going to succeed, if we are going to prosper, we must be willing to shoulder some of the responsibility, to carry some of the burdens of the world and not leave them all on the white man's shoulders. "We have a splendid example right here south of us. For the last two years cotton crops have been attacked and practically destroyed by the boll weevil pest, and I am told that in these counties Negroes have been leaving by the thousands. This is all because we have not got to the place where we are willing to accept responsibility. "Sometimes we fail to succeed because we are too easily discouraged. We get into the habit of believing that the world is against us, that the white man is making an effort to keep us down. There is nothing in the world to prevent the high-spirited Negro from measuring up to the highest standard of citizenship. In this effort we have always the personal assistance of the best white citizens in the various communities. I have never found one white man whose opinion amounted to anything in the community, that was opposed to Negroes being respectable, progressive citizens. On the other hand I know them by the thousands who have helped Negroes, to buy homes and attain respectable places as citizens." MESSENGER SNAPSHOTS. Politeness is one of those advantages which we never estimate rightly, but by the inconvenience of its loss. Parents, bear in mind that children are very observant and think much, weigh well and seldom forget. Childhood is like a mirror catching and reflecting images. One injurious or profane thought uttered by a parent's lips may operate upon the young heart like a careless spray of water thrown upon polished steel staining it rust which no after-scouring can efface. To love all men is our duty so far as it includes a general habit of benevolence and readiness for occasional kindness; but to love all equally is impossible, at least impossible with out the extinction of those passions which now produce all our pains and pleasures, and without the disuse, if not the abolition, of some of our hopes and fears in apathy and indifference. Success in life depends much upon appearance and deportment. Right love-making is more important than right selection; because it affects confugal life far the most. PRESIDENT TAFT ON HIGHER EDUCATION FOR THE RACE - Declares Four Universities Inadequate for Ten Million People.. He Pledges to do Everything in His Power as an Executive to Foster Education for the Race. In strong, judicial terms, President Taft first laid upon the nation the support of Howard, university as an obligation that should be recognized and carried out in a generous spirit. He said: "This institution here is the partial repayment of a debt—only partial—to a race to which the government and the people of the United States are eternally indebted. They brought that race into this country against its will. They planted in here irretrievably. They first put it in bondage, and then they kept it in the ignorance that bondage seemed to make necessary, under the system then in vogue. Then they freed it, and put upon it the system of citizenship. Now some sort of obligation follows that chain of facts with reference to the people who are responsible for what that government did. The obligation would be clearer, or rather, the method of its discharge would be easier, were it not for our constitutional system, which throws generally upon the states the burden of education, and leaves to the general government only certain limited jurisdictions with respect to the people. However, in so far as District of Columbia is concerned and the establishment of institutions of learning in this district, we are free from any embarrassment with respect to carrying out obligations, and it is fitting that the government should assume the obligation of the establishment and maintenance of a first class university for the education of colored men. "It is necessary for the success of the colored race that there be among them leaders of that race fitted by university education for that leadership. There is not any likelihood, with reference to persons who occupy a different position, that either is the generosity of the general government or in the generosity of individuals who find colored colleges and universities, there is to be such an opportunity given as is likely to lead too many colored men to acquire university education as compared with the number of colored men that there are in the community and especially South of the Mason and Dixon's line. The opportunity that there is for educated colored men to aid their race in the struggle before them for economic success and the maintenance of themselves as worthy and valuable members of the community, the opportunity that there is for university men among men to assist in that movement. I say is very great indeed. "Through the South one of the things that is essential is the cultivation of greater sanitation and greater attention to the laws of hygiene among the colored race. What we need in the South is a great many more physicians of their own race to tell them how to live and to enable them to recover in sickness The benefit which teachers educated here can do for their own race goes without saying. Of course the basis of the education of the colored people is in the primary schools, and in the industrial schools—in schools farmed with Hampton and Tuskegee, and even those less ambitious, but still furnishing the industrial development. In those must be introduced teachers from such universities institutions as this, and it is furnishing the material for the faculties of those smaller—not that such an institution as this shall smaller—but less ambitious—schools have its chief function. Then, too, among the colored race, the ministers have a great influence. CURRENT EVENTS. The Chillan Government plans to link Punta Arenas and Valparaiso telegraphically, probably by a chain of wireless stations. Mary A. Calahan, principal of a public school at Birmingham, Ala, for more than 20 years, has a statue in that city in Capital Park. The Chillian Government maintains 61 lighthouses along the coast and in the Straits of Magelan, at an annual cost of $88,731 United States gold. A netting tunnel, to be set into a window screen, so that it will point outward, has been invented to attract files out of a room without permitting them to enter. The biggest sponge in the world is a Bahama, six feet in circumference and two feet in diameter shaped something like a big, rat biscuit or a bride's cake that failed to rise. Mrs. Rosemary Whitney, the captivating Marie Glosz, who won her second husband's heart in "The Merry Widow," is now Mrs. David Rose, bride of the former mayor of Milwaukee. In attempting to establish an ostrich farm in Abyssinia the original idea was to capture live ostriches and breed them. This did not prove successful, as the birds nearly always died after the pursuit necessary to get them. The foreign trade of the United Kingdom showed still further increases in both imports and exports during the month of August. Exports of British merchandise aggregated $185,000,000, an increase of $32,000,000 over August, 1909. Imports aggregating $253,000,000 were $18,000,000 higher. Now, if they are to wield that influence they cannot be to highly educated, they cannot know too much in order that they carry on their sacred functions and discharge them to the highest benefit of the race. I say these things with a great deal of emphasis, because I know there are many who dispute the wisdom of large distributions to universities of the colored race, and at one time I was very much perplexed with the argument to whether or not it was proper. But what is the fact? There are four universities in this country besides Howard university, devoted to the colored race. Now when you consider that there are ten million Negroes in this country, you see how utterly inadequate, even for the education of the leaders, those universities, together with this, are, and there is opportunity for the enlargement of this as congress and the people of the United States shall understand the refusal part that this institution and institutions like it play in the real uplifting and onward progress of the race. Everything that I can do as an executive in the way of helping along this university I expect to do. I expect to do it because I believe it is a debt of the people of the United States, it is an obligation of the government of the United States, and it is the money constitutionally applied to that which shall work out in the end the solution of one of the great problems that God has put upon the people of the United States. In sincerity, in broad and generous service, in strong and memorable addresses in behalf of the broadest and highest education of the Negro race to equip that race for effective service, President Taft has forever laid the friends and helpers of Negro education under a weight of obligation and gratitude. Why She Was Discharged. "Yes, we got rid of our 'housework' girl," said a dweller in the suburbs. "At least, my wife did. I guess it was a case of the last straw with her. The woman made a mistake when she took up service as a 'profession,' she should have become a female 'sea lawyer!' "On the third day after we had engaged her, Mrs. — called her to the drawing room, where the dust had accumulated like a gray carpet on the baby grand. 'Look, Matilda,' she said, 'I can write my name in the dust on the piano. What does that show? The maid contemplated the hieroglyphics for a moment in very apparent admiration, then burst out with, 'Sure, mum, that shows th' value of an idification.' "This was almost forgivable, but when the next morning the missus showed her some once beautiful white porcelain dishes dark with dirt and grease, and asked her what should be done when dishes got as dirty as that, and the maid replied 'that if she were the missus she would get colored dishes 'cause they didn't show the dirt so quickly,' it was almost too much. "The cllmax, however, arrived about two weeks later, when my wife took her 'treasure' aside, and said to her gently but firmly: 'Matilda, you must arrange to have less company. Why, you have more callers in a day than I do in a week.' "Far from noonplussed, the 'jewel' replied: 'Well, mum, maybe if ye'd thy to be a little more agraable, yez'd have as many friends as meslift.' "After this we were afraid of what might come next." — Philadelphia Times. Wedding Horses. An old fashioned man who wanted to hire a team for the afternoon saw a nice pair of bays, which he thought he would like to drive. "Can't let you have them," said the liveryman. "They are wedding horses." "What's that?" asked the innocent pleasure seeker. "Horses that won't shy at old shoes and showers of rice. Some horses seem prejudiced against matrimony. Any how they lose their temper if they happen to be hit by any of the good lick emblems that are fired after a bridal couple and run away if they get half a chance. Every livery stable, however, keeps two or more horses who take a more cheerful view of the wedded state. They may be literally pelted with old shoes without resenting it. Those bays are that kind. They are slated to head a wedding procession -tonight and are resting up for the job."—New York Sun. Grace. A paper out in Northewestern Kansas tells of a plious old farmer who has the habit of gazing at the rafters in his dining room when saying grace. One day while so engaged he forget himself, and his grace sounded something like this: "We thank Thee for this food and—by Joe! there's that darned gimlet I've been looking for for the last six months. I'll have Jim get up there and get it. Thou hast been gracious to us, O Lord, and again we thank Thee, Amen!". COMMENT ON CURRENT LITERATURE CONCERHING NEGRO. DAILY NEWSPAPERS FOR NEGROES. When Eli Whitney invented his cotton gin in 1793, the invention had the effect of rivelling more strongly the manacles on the limbs of the slaves. Many people of that day and time, both North and South, believed that slavery was due to die a natural death and the policy of various statesmen was affected accordingly. According to the "World's Work," an invention of recent patent, called the Cotton Harvester, is destined to cause a greater change in economic conditions in the South, than did the cotton gin in 1793. Men, qualified by technical training and experience, to pass an opinion, say that "the new harvester" can do all that is claimed for it by its inventor, Mr. Angus Campbell, a Scotchman, who after twenty-one years of failure, has succeeded in producing a machine that will do everything but "take a drink and cast a vote." As we see it no event of the last decade is fraught with more significance to the Negro in the South than the introduction of this machine into the cotton growing business. At present all the cotton picked in the South is picked largely by Negroes, in fact, during certain seasons of the year—the life of, whole communities is changed and affected by the removal of labor from certain ordinary spaces of activity to the cotton fields, where men, women and children are busily engaged for several months in getting ready for the market this great staple of commerce. The machine is made so that by removing the picking machinery and the bags, it can be converted into a small traction engine for plowing or cultivating. The average field hand can pick about 250 pounds of cotton a day—the harvester picks 250 pounds in 25 minutes. The cotton growers who have seen the machine work, hail its advent with delight as enabling them to dispense with Negro labor and emancipating them from their dependence on its uncertainty. They claim that an excursion or a panic often has the effect of paralizing the business in the section where either takes place—the Negroes have to be begged to work and paid exhorbitant wages to keep at it. Says the "Magazine." After the machine had traveled fifty yards a planner turned to the one Negro in sight and said good-humoredly: "Go on home Sam youve All intelligent Negroes who have been watching for some time the general trend of public opinion are sensible to the fact that the entire North is gradually undergoing a change of sentiment relative to the Negroes of this country. Sentiment is now less favorable in the North toward the Negro than it has been for years, Now there is a cause for tails fact; perhaps there are several causes that might be named. The removal of many Southern whites to the North and then entering into social and business relations with those who are native to the soil has doubtless been a factor in modifying to some extent Northern sentiment on the Negro question. Another factor in this change of sentiment relative to the Negro is due to the large and increasing investment in the South of Northern capital. The men of wealth in the North who are investing their money in the South are naturally opposed to the unsettled condition that ensues on the agitation of the race question. But the chief factor, we believe in producing this change of sentiment on the Negro question is the Southern white daily press. There are some of the white daily papers, be it said to their praise, that seek SCRAPS. --- Hokkaldo now has a population of about 1,500,000, and could easily accommodate 7,000,000 to 8,000,000 people.

A welsh rabbit may be cooked on an electric chafing dish at an expense of 1.12 cents for current. Jost your job." What does the future hold, reader, if this is prophetic? Here are some figures: "let us take for example, a hundred acre farm," producing a half bale to the acre. The machine can cover at least eight acres a day." For driver ..... $1.50 For gasoline and oil ..... 2.50 For boy ..... 1.00 Allowance for repairs ..... 1.00 Total a day ..... 6.00 At this rate it would cost $75 to go over the farm once with the machine and $150 to pick the farm over twice, which it could do in 25 days. To pick the 50 bales from the farm by hand would cost between $500 and $800 and it would take 12 hands more than 25 days to complete the task. Here then is $350 to $650 saved. It requires no effort to see that Negro labor in the cotton fields is doomed. What are the consequences of this fact? What will these Negroes do? We are no alarmists—we do not seek to paint the conditions in such an extravagant way that false conclusions follow, but it seems to us that the changes following such a reform in methods as will surely take place are and will be much more significant than the temporary confusion which ordinarily accompanies any economic readjustment. The tenement system will be a thing of the past this means that many Negroes will leave the rural districts to find work in the cities and that too at a time when efforts are being concentrated to have in the other way. Any further congestion of Negroes in the cities must of necessity, be followed by further compensations in "the problem." Many Negroes will leave the South to come North and we are familiar with the results of this tendency. Of course it might be urged that there are compensating factors, one of which is the fact that removal of boys and girls from the cotton fields makes it possible for them to spend greater time in school, but can they do it with one more avenue of making money closed against them? The writer has achieved his purpose if in citing the few above mentioned facts, he has said something that will start our people to thinking seriously about any future in that part of the country where it is conceded that the larger part of the Negro population must live.—James R. Harris in Illinois Chronicle. to be as fair as they can toward the Negro, consistently with the traditional Southern views respecting the Negro and his social status. But there are few white papers that do not take more delight in showing the Negro to the world at his worst than at his best. The ignorant, venal and criminal Negro gets vastly more attention from the Southern daily press than the educated, refined and virtuous Negro, and even when the latter is referred to the reading public generally gets the impression that an ignorant, unkept and unwashed Negro is the one in question. The papers thus depicting the Negro go as explicating into all parts of the land, and its belafal effects, has been felt by editors throughout the land. It has intensified prejudice against us, and it will continue to do so until the Negroes themselves shall counteract this influence by publishing his own powerful daily papers. A great race congress was held in Atlanta a few years ago, and it demonstrated the possibility of all the Negroes getting together and raising a large sum of money. Another great race congress is needed to enable the race to establish two or three daily papers in suitable localities PROVERBS AND PHRASES.

LESSON TEXT—1 Kings 17. Memory Verses 14-16. GOLDEN. TEXT—"They that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing."—Psa. 34:10. TIME—Elijah lived during the reigns of Ahab in Israel and Jehosaphat in Judah, and their successors B. C. 920-900 (or Assyrian $78,857). PLACE—Various places in the kingdom of Israel. He probably first met Ahab in Samaria, his capital. Cherith was a brook in a ravine, flowing into the Jordan on the East. Zarapath was a town in Phoenicia between Tyre and Sidon, Seaports on the Mediterranean. It was a dark day for Israel. when Jezebel "set herself, with her husband's tacit connivance, to extirpate the religion of Jehoyah from the land of Israel, and to substitute in its place open and avowed paganism—the worship of Ashtoreth and of Baal. Splendid shrines were built, especially one of vast size in the capital, and the rites and ceremonies of the new cult were exhibited on a grand scale, with sensuous accompaniments of all kinds—music, stuary, processions of robed priests, victims, incense, bands of fanatics worked up to frenzy by religious excitement, and the like." They had "forsaken thy covenants, thrown down thine alters and slain thy prophets with the sword." A brave, strong prophet dared to stem the tide alone. And he dared because he knew that God had commanded him, and stood with him, and worked through him. The word of the Lord came unto him. In what way we do not know. Having taken one course of lessons, God sends Ellijah to another school. This was best not only that Ellijah might learn other lessons, but in order that he might be safer. Ahab was seeking everywhere for him. But he kept outside of Ahab's dominion. Every town, large or small, required in those times a wall for defense. His first need after his long walk through the famine-streken land would be water. The gift of water to the thirsty is always regarded as a sacred duty in the East. Note the wisdom of this way of becoming acquainted by asking a simple favor; as Christ asked the Samaritan woman for a drink from the well. As she was going to fetch the water, Ellijah called to her, and said: "Bring me a morsel of bread." This, too, was a modest request. This would have been selfish had not Elijah known that the meal and oil would not fail. The request was also, for the widow, an education in faith. "According to your faith be it done unto you." All through the remaining years of the famine, she would need this training, as day by day she cooked the last visible handful of meal, and used the last drops of the oil. She as a widow may have needed the same faith for years to come. the widow's faith was still further rewarded during Elijah's stay. One day her young son sickened and died. In the blitterness of her grief she cried out upon the prophet, thinking that his presence had directed God's special attention to her house, and this calamity had been sent her in punishment for her sins. Thereupon Elijah carried the lad to his own upper chamber, and stretched himself upon him as if to impart his own vitality, imploring God for his life. And God heard him; the soul returned to the boys' body and he was delivered to his rejoicing mother, who testified cagely her faith in the prophet as a man of God and her faith in the divine messages he uttered. SNAPSHOTS ON PROHIBITION. The history of Maine's prohibition law is a very interesting one. In 1851 it was first passed by the legislature. In 1856 it was repealed through the energetic work of the liquorites. In 1858 it was re-enacted by a majority popular vote of 22,933. In 1884 the question was resubmitted to a popular vote and was carried by a majority of 46,972. Since then the law has been let alone. The insurance companies, after many years of experience, are now able to accurately determine what is called the "natural expectation" of life at any age, from 21 to 35. If a young man becomes a drinker at 21 his average of life expectation is cut down ten years. If he began to drink earlier in life it hastens the end still more. Thus while one who drinks may live long, 99 others die young. Mayor McCarthy of San Francisco declared that he would make that city the Paris of America. He favored a wide open policy. Now he orders the lid clamped down tight and urges less crime and disorder. The Greenville (Ala.) Advocate says in commenation of prohibition: "Greenville is the largest city in Alabama, the cleanest and the healthiest that can boast of not having a policeman. We do not need any policeman in our town because of the fact that we have no saloons." The French legislature has enacted a law which prohibits the payment of workingmen's salaries in saloons or other places where liquor is sold. The bill also prohibits payments of wages to be made on all holidays, Sundays, or any other rest days. German Claims Presented at Washington Are Contradicted by American Interests, Washington, D. C., Jan.—The cotton growing-states are particularly interested in the potash controversy between the State Department and Berlin, since the future price of fertilizer is directly affected by the outcome. German interests have just made representation to Secretary Knox similar in effect to those assertions made by circular letter to the miners throughout the South claiming that the German potash law, which places a penalty on mines selling heavily to Americans at a lower price than has formerly ruled, is merely a part of the general conservation policy of Germany. According to Ochslmus, a leading German geologist, there are about 39,000 square miles of potash in one section of Germany, each of these containing some 50,000,000 tons of pure potash. This same authority states that the annual output from these mines is about 600,000 tons each and he figures that if the annual output should jump to 5,000,000 tons annually, it would still require 621,600 years to exhaust the supply. Another of Germany's assertions is that the law does not discriminate against Americans. The brief of the American potash buyers committee submitted to congress points out that, under the law as recently passed by Germany, the mines of the potash trust in that country were allowed a proportion of output sufficient to supply the world, while the independent mines that had made contracts to supply the United States at a reduced price were limited to one-fourth of their actual sales already made to us. In addition a penalty of $22 per ton was imposed for overproduction. Thus the penalty falls exclusively upon shipments to this country and indirectly upon the consumer. An effort is apparently being made to create the impression that this controversy is really a contest between the policy of the German government and an American trust. The fact is that there is no such complete and powerful trust in the United States as this German potash syndicate. This syndicate actually monopolizes the entire potash supply of the world, save for the two mines that broke away from the trust and sold to American buyers. In this country there are about 70 different fertilizer manufacturers using potash, and of these about 75 per cent are independent. of any trust affiliation. Another claim made by the German committee at the White House was to the effect that the American buyers knew that a law would be passed providing for government taxes and penalties to be assessed, and that they made these contracts with this knowledge in mind. The American committee states positively that this information was brought to them after the contracts were made, and used as a club in an attempt, to force them to give up the contracts already entered into, which would have reduced the price of fertilizer materially in this country. An official high in the government here is authority for the statement that the cost of this controversy must, necessarily fall upon the consumer, and that it should, therefore, be settled quickly. While the American companies paying a penalty have met the prices made by the German trust, that pays no penalty, this has been done at a loss, and should they withdraw from the field because of this, the price of fertilizer in this country would be dictated by the German monopoly untrammeled in Berlin. The Walkers. James M. Beck, the famous corporation lawyer of New York, is a native of Philadelphia, and to Philadelphia he often returns to see his old friends. Mr. Beck, at a recent banquet in Philadelphia, defended corporations with an epigram. "The trust buster and the Socialist may do what they please," he said, "but mankind will still be divided into two great classes—those who walk to get an appetite for their dinner, and those who walk to get a dinner for their appetite."

Little Mrs. Jones, Being Green a Housekeepjng, Submitted and So Kept Her Domestic. "Yes, this last maid has stayed a long time," admitted little Mrs. Jones, "but it's only because I've been willing to let her snub me left and right. She saw the minute she got in the house that I was young and green at housekeeping, so she took the privilege of middle age to disapprove of everything I did and had. She never dusted the old mahogany, for instance, without audibly lamenting that it was a pity young folk just married couldn't start out with brand-new furniture instead of 'them old-style things.' The day the winter coal was delivered, five tons of it, she met me when I got home with this rebuke: 'You never told your coal dealer to have his men sprinkle that coal—suppose you never heard of sprinkling coal to keep the coal dust from flying. As it is, everything on this first floor is black with it. Why, if this old thing,' pointing to the valuable Persian rug father brought from Bagdad last year and which is the pride of our lives, 'if this old thing had been a handsome Brussels carpet it would have been ruined; but of course, being a faded-out old thing, it doesn't matter.'" THE QUESTION. Lotty—She is said to be a lady of quality. Cissie—Good or bad? REDUCING HATPINS. "I am glad to see that women are actually going to agitate the matter of the long hatpin," remarked the considerate girl. "I had two beautiful pins presented to me at Christmas and they protruded so far beyond my hat that I simply would not wear them until I had them fixed. I don't approve this idea of wearing a tip on the end of a pin. It wouldn't be pretty, and, besides, it would stick out in the same way the point does now. The simplest thing is to have the pins cut off until the manufacturers begin making shorter ones again. I had three inches cut off my pins at a cost of ten cents, and now you can't see the ugly spikes at all." A GERMAN TITLE. In the matter of titles the Germans show more courage than we do. On a New Year's card which reached London recently the sender describes herself as Frau —. Ras iermesserohlsleifercidirektor switwe. Would any English woman venture to describe herself as widowofthemanageroftherazorbladegr in dingworks? When this was shown to a German friend he produced a card on which the sender was entitled 'Staatsschuldentiigunsbureauaus g eherswitwe,' a description which she held to be her due as the widow of an official in the national debt office.—London Chronicle. HATS OF WOMEN HUNTERS. The writer has been with one or two provincial packs during the last few days and has noticed that not one woman in ten is wearing a silk hat. In the shires of course there are many Diasas who do not consider themselves either orthodox or fully equipped for the chase unless they wear a tall hat. True, some of them would not look so "dressed" and smart in a bowler hat, their type of face being peculiarly suited to the chimney pot style of headdress; but for comfort and for ease of mind during a gallop commend me to the bowler.—The Gentlewoman. MAKES ELEVEN THE LIMIT. A goose, as a rule, is able to cover 12 eggs, but the German-farmer's wife will never put more than 11 eggs under one, as she is firmly convinced that a dozen would be fatal to the hatch, for "there might be twins." In vain you argue that the twin habit unfortunately does not attach to fowl—11 is the limit, or there will be trouble, sure. Comments of the Famous French Sculptor on the Subject of Effectivism and Exaggeration. The French sculptor Rodin always has been looked to as one of the best commentators upon art of his day. A book of his sayings on art questions is almost as valuable as one of his books of pencil drawings—and these are by many esteemed above anything he has succeeded in executing in vindication of his profound theories and convictions. He has recently had something to say on this very subject of effectism and exaggeration. "What especially pleases the ignorant is an unexpressive, minuteness of execution and a sham-mobility of action. . . . The vulgar care nothing for the sincere observation that scorns theatric poses, and is interested only in the perfectly simple, but far more thrilling, attitudes of real life. . . . People rave over poses that are never seen in nature, and call them artistic because they suggest the swagger of Italian models seeking employment. When you have seen a picture, or read a bit of literature, and noticed neither drawing nor coloring, nor style, you have felt an emotion that filled your heart."—Boston Transcript. CHARACTER IN "PENDENNIS" How the Supposed Prototype of Foker Pestered the Author of the Book. Mr. Arcedeckne, the prototype of Foker, piqued at being portrayed as in "Pendennis," took every occasion of annoying its author by familiarity of manner. One day when Thackeray was sitting in the smoking room of the Garrick, in his favorite attitude, his legs crossed, one foot pointed in the air, and surrounded by admirers, Poker advanced, and hailing him with, "Well, Thack, how are you?" struck his match at the same time on the sole of the upturned foot and proceeded to light his cigar—a liberty which Thackeray very much resented. It was he, of course, who on hearing Thackeray say he was feeling somewhat nervous as to the success of his lectures in America, called out, "I'll tell you what you want, Thack. You want a piano."—Brookfield, "Cambridge Apostles." FRENCH PARADOX. Senator Depew, at the Lotus club's recent dinner in New York in honor of the French ambassador, M. Jusserand, said with a smile: "M. Jusserand writes English better than an Englishman, he speaks it better than an American, and he uses it better than an Irishman. "I violate, I believe, no confidence when I relate one of M. Jusserand's mots. M. Jusserand, at a dinner, sat next to a matron in the prime of life. This matron, putting her hand to her soft and pretty hair, said with a laugh none too gay: "I found four gray hairs in my head this morning." ,"Madam," said M. Jusserand, as long as gray hairs can be counted, they don't count." LITTLE COLOR THERE. "I notice by official order from Washington that enlisted men of the regular army must wear their 'dress uniforms' when off duty in city streets," said the man whose military interest is based on real service. "But the plain citizen need not think that the soldiers in full dress are going to add vivacity and color to the streets, as do the red and gold warriors in European cities. Nothing like it. The order merely means that khaki and olive drab uniforms are not good form hereafter. The gorgeous 'dress' uniform of the American, private is a little more stunning than that of a sleeping car conductor, but not as nobby as the garb of a hotel bellboy." PLUMBER. Mulligan, the contractor, put up a church building. Dunn was building inspector then, and when he saw the church he said: "Pat, it isn't plumb." That made Mr. Mulligan pretty mad. He climbed right up and began to take measurements. Having squinted down the plumb line in a dozen different places he was ready to report. There was a ring of triumph in his voice. "Mr. Dunn," he said, "come and look at it y'rself. Plumb, eh? By th' piper that played before Moses, it's more than plumb!"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Poetry of and by Our People --- "Tell us a story," the children said, And as they gathered 'round my side; "Tis cold tonight and we really dread To leave the warm fireside." "I am tired tonight, my kiddies dear, And worn with the full of day; And I fail would sit and rest me here With nothing whatever to say." But little Saint Joseph looked up at me And give up things on Christmas day." "Well, children, I've told the 'Old Blue Bear,' "A long time ago, years have grown gray. "As footscre and weary they onward did go For many a long weary mile. They came to a manger, so humble and low, And Mary did rest for a while. "And while they were resting an angel came And gave her a beautiful child; And said, 'God has blessed and given thee fame And on tree has graciously smiled.' "And shepherds away had seen a star, Most bright in the east to some, And followed its trend so very far To see for themselves this great sign. "For years before the wise men of old Had told of this star as a sign, That Christ should be found within a fold That sheltered from cold the kine. "And, then they did find him, this Christ, our prince, And worshiped and knelt on the earth: And, dear little children, we've kept ever since Most sacred this day of his birth. "And this is why the Yuletide sheds Great joy and we Christmas keep. The Christ"—I looked, and three little heads Had nodded and gone to sleep. —Armorel Sterne, in New York Age The Sum. A little dreaming by the way; A little tolling, day by day; A little pain, a little strife; A little joy — and that is life. A little short-lived summer's morn, When joy seems all so newly born, When one day's sky is blue above, And one bird sings—and that is love A little sickening of the years, The tribute of a few hot tears, Two folded hands, the falling breath, And peace at last—and that is death Just dreaming, loving, dying so. The actors in the drama go— A fitting picture on a wall, Love; Death, the themes; but is that all? The illustrations preserved of Egyptian iron manufacture show that the process was precisely the same as that still obtaining among Lithophian races. On a stone, preserved at Florence, a Negro slave is depicted working bellows from which the blast is conveyed by a bamboo pipe to a shallow pit in which the iron is smelted. In a second illustration is shown the forging of the iron by hammering it with a rounded stone on a stone anvil with a wooden base. It is clearly proved by pictures on Egyptian tombs that bellows were in use in the fifteenth century B. C. Ambiguous. He—I wish I had money enough to travel; I wouldn't be here.

"The trouble with most of us is that we are critical rather than constructive." Error—that which destroys character, dethrones reason and drowns men in perdition. "Sin has many tools, but a lie is the handle that fits them all." The devil's lie (Gen. 3:4) is the root of all evil. FOR--COUNTRY-WIDE--EFFORT Foes of Tuberculosis Have Plan to Use Most Powerful Weapon on Earth. April 30 has been set aside this year as "Tuberculosis Day," and will be observed in a manner similar to that of "Tuberculosis Sunday" in 1910, when 40,000 sermons were preached on the prevention of tuberculosis. In the first official announcement of the occasion, made by the national association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, the leaders of the movement state that they hope to enlist all of the 33,000,000 church members in country. In one respect Tuberculosis day will differ from Tuberculosis Sunday of 1210. Instead of requesting the churches to give to the tuberculosis cause a special Sunday service, the national association is going to ask this year that meetings, at which the subject of tuberculosis and its prevention can be discussed, be held on Sunday, April 30, or on any other day near that date, either in the week preceding or the week following. "What we went," says Mr. Lyingston Farrand, executive secretary of the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a report on this movement, "is to have this whole subject of tuberculosis discussed in all of the 200,000 churches of the United States at as nearly the same time as possible." ECZEMA GONE, BOILS CURED "My son was about three weeks old when I noticed a breaking-out on his cheeks, from which a watery substance oozed. A short time after his arms, shoulders and breast broke out also, and in a few days became a solid scab. I became alarmed, and called our family physician, who at once pronounced the disease eczema. The little fellow was under his treatment for about three months. By the end of that time, he seemed no better. I became discouraged, and as I had read the advertisements of Cuticura Remedies and testimonials of a great many people who had used them with wonderful success, I dropped the doctor's treatment, and commenced the use of Cuticura Soap and Ointment, and in a few days noticed a marked change. The eruption on his cheeks was almost healed, and his shoulders, arms and breast were decidedly better. When he was about seven months old all trace of the eczema was gone. "During his teething period, his head and face were broken out in bolls which I cured with Cuticura Soap and Ointment. Surely he must have been a great sufferer. During the time of teething and from the time I dropped the doctor's treatment, I used the Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Ointment, nothing else, and when two years old he was the picture of health. His complexion was, soft and beautiful, and his head a mass of silky curls. I had been afraid that he would never be well, and I feel that I owe a great deal to the Cuticura Remedies." (Signed) Mrs. Mary W. Ramsey, 221 E. Jackson St., Colorado Springs, Colo., Sept. 24, 1910. To Arrange Flowers. Here are five golden rules when should be observed by those who often arrange flowers. Use plenty of foliage. Put your flowers in very lightly. Use artistic glasses. Do not put more than two or, at the most, three different kinds of flowers in one decoration. Arrange your colors to form a bold contrast or, better still, a soft harmony. The aim of the decorator should be to show off the flowers—not the vases that contain them; therefore the simpler ones are far preferable to even the most elaborate. Glasses for a dinner table should be either white, a delicate shade of green, or rose color, according to the flowers arranged in them. The Latest Golf Story. Two Scotchmen met and exchanged the small talk appropriate to the hour. As they were parting to go supperward, Sandy said to Jock: "Jock, mon. I'll go ye a round on the links in the morrn."

But I had intended to get married in the morrn."

Fowls will lay occasionally in winter if they are not cared for other than having a few scoopfuls of corn-tossed to them in a filthy house, but they will make a profit over and above, the feed and housing if they are well sheltered and fed a variety of clean and wholesome grains and have a bit of green food and cut bone every day. The day of keeping chickens in the haphazard way is about over. Of first importance is to keep young stock growing vigorously. Too many poultry raisers compel their young stock to shift too much for itself during the middle and last summer months. Once the calf is well started toward an early and profitable marketable maturity by liberal feeding and good care at this season of the year, there is little need of advising with regard to his future feeding care, as the owner's good sense will tell him that it will pay to continue to feel and care for him well. Many people are realizing the profit in raising heavy geese, as they are worth more a pound than the lighter breeds and every year there is more demand for the Toulouse. Cultivation as the plants develop requires not only care and skill, but forethought also. If heavy rains have beaten the soil into a hard mass and it is water-soaked it may be necessary to go as deeply as possible without injuring the roots in order to aerate the ground properly. It is as difficult to name the best breed of fowls as it is to name the best breed of dogs or sheep, or the best make of corn planter or cream separator. The man with a silo will be in a position to congratulate himself this winter and we urge every farmer to consider the erection of a silo this fall. No other means will provide so much palatable and nutritious feed from an acre of land. Skimmed milk is a good feed not only for raising calves, and pigs, but it is also an excellent feed for raising chicks and for egg production. Upon the horse-collar depends much more than appears at first glance. The day-in-and-out efficiency of the team, its labor service, its thriftiness depend very largely upon the proper kind and fitting of the collars used. Among the several varieties of the Cochin family the Partridge is considered by many to be the most beautiful. As the days wax warmer and warmer one's efforts are apt to relax, but the young fowls destined to take their places in the show room must not be neglected. They must have their feed regularly, and water in abundance. Some hens in every yard are too old for good service. Have you any? Good time right now, to get rid of them. In all those portions of the country where dalrying is a leading and distinctive feature, and other grains than corn are used as a growing and fattening ration the bacon hggs can be raised to advantage and profit. The cockerels should be culled out early and sent to market. Pullets will develop much better if this is done. Bacon is only the intermingling of fat and lean meat, and if the meat is grown along rapidly it will be more tender and palatable than if it is pinched until the lean is dry and tasteless. When moulting actually commences, it is best to feed liberally on rations which are easy of digestion and rich in protein. With dalrying, as with other lines of farming, the dalryman should familiarize himself as much as possible with every fact which can be brought to bear upon the quality of his product. A heifer becomes a cow after she drops her first calf and begins giving milk—no matter at what age, and she remains a heifer until these maternal obligations are assumed. Fowls always seem to mount earlier and quicker when they are warm and in places where they are exposed to the sun. In drying, there are special breeds enough and reliable information enough, so there is no excuse for a man who goes it blind and blames luck and the weather for his failure. It is well to consider what, is the best treatment of fowls while they are passing through the moult. Be considerate of your horse's comfort on torrid summer days and offer them water frequently. They suffer with thirst as badly as you do and work harder. Crossing an African gander on Toulouse geese is said to give the largest sized offspring. It is not the quantity of food taken into the stomach, but the amount absorbed by it, which benefits the system. Keep on breeding stock that is weak. Hog pasture is getting dry and short? Cut a little green corn and toss it over, stalks, and all, to the hogs. It will help them out wonderfully. Generally a hen with a nice, clean-cut head and a full, bright eye will be a good layer. Grubb files worry the sneeze in hot weather. Provide a dark, cool shed, or let them run in thick underbrush. The houses and pens the fowls are placed in should be scrupulously clean. Give flower plants lots of room. Is GUARANTEED to stop and permanently cure that terrible itching. It is compounded for that purpose and your money will be promptly refunded WITHOUT QUESTION if Hant's Cure falls to cure Iitch, Eczema, Tetter, Ring Worm or any other Skin.

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1911 The desire of all of the city cart drivers to become registered voters was very plainly and vividly demonstrated last week when over a score of them drove their carts in front of the court house and made a sally upon the registrar. Some were told that in order to straighten out their accounts they would have to pay, in one case at least, as high as thirteen dollars while others there were whose fee was the minimum. But in each and every case satisfaction was wrought and they all drove away happy as larks for in the case of those whose indebtedness to the county was very large they made small payments on the installment plan to return on some later day and wipe out the remainder, thereby making themselves full-fledged citizens. This is a worthy and at the same time most opportune step by the city teamsters and might well stand as a example worthy of exemplification by hundreds of other Negro men in this city who have been derelict in their duties along this line. There is a sad neglect on the part of the great majority of our men to keep their names on the registration books of the city and as a consequence they are not allowed to participate in the municipal elections every two years. This negligence does not only occur among the ignorant and lowly but it is often the case with the intelligent and sometimes leading men of the various communities of our city. There are physicians, teachers, preachers and business men of prominence whose names are absent from the enrollment on the city books and they should all take notice of the steps which these men of the city cart department have taken to make themselves eligible for the coming presidential election and for future municipal contests. It is absolutely essential that there be some strenuous efforts made along this line and that we double, yea triple the present number of registered voters among us. In some cases it will only require a few extra efforts on our part to pay up back taxes while in others where the amount due is very large let us resort to the good old reliable installment plan as some of these teamsters did and shake off this debt so that we may all be recognized citizens. The report of the general secretary of the associated charities which recently appeared in the daily papers is a very interesting document and should appeal to every person in the city who has the welfare of his fellow men at stake for it tells of the inestimable good which this society has done for the poor and needy of our city and what it hopes to accomplish in the future. It deals not only with the need of help for the unfortunate whites of our city, but it also speaks of the dire need of assistance for the Negro portion of our population and recommends most highly the efforts which have been made by the Negroes to better their condition by organizing an anti-tuberculosis society to work in conjunction with that of the whites. In speak- "We should be unfaithful upholders of the civic good if we did not realize that before very long this society should take active steps not only in the question of the prevention and cure of tuberculosis among the Negroes, but should study the whole problem of poverty and ignorance presented by nearly half of our population. That this is largely a question of disease, ignorance and over-crowded and unsanitary dwellings is shown in the high death rate from tuberculosis and the frightful mortality of the Negro child." By a recent decision of Judge Sanford of the United States Court upholding the Interstate Railroad Commission in requiring equal accommodations for whites and blacks on all railroads in the United States the Negroes of the country are given the much deserved privilege of at least having the right to get what they pay for. The railroad accommodations in the South which we have been compelled to accept have been so poor and unsanitary that the more self-respecting ones of us have found traveling very distasteful and un- Another Catholic Public School. One of the newest additions to the city during the present year will be streets which is being erected by the Society of African Missions of Lyons, foundation has already been laid will be ready for occupancy at the opening be a magnificent building of the latest its dimensions will be forty-three by stories on a basement with the first floor thirty feet, while the second will be auditorium. The entire building will as baths and other conveniences and only be known as St. Mary's School, while School of the Most Pure Heart of Mary inspiring looking structure there in populated Negro settlements, and a more selected. For this new and magnification of Savannah is deeply indebted to the Catholics in their untiring effort people in this city. And in this connection to the other educational institutions and which are to be found in al in West Savannah, in Springfield, at Gision on East Broad St. THE CHURCH OF THE SCHOOL One of the newest additions to the Negro educational institutions of the city during the present year will be the new school at 36th and Bulloch streets which is being erected by the Catholics under the auspices of the Society of African Missions of Lyons, France. This new structure whose foundation has already been laid will be completed about July 1st, and will be ready for occupancy at the opening of the school year next fall. It will be a magnificent building of the latest and most durable pressed brick and its dimensions will be forty-three by seventy-three feet. It will be two stories on a basement with the first floor containing four large rooms twenty bythirty feet, while the second will consist of two rooms, a library and an auditorium. The entire building will have all modern improvements such as baths and other conveniences and will be steam heated. It will commonly be known as St. Mary's School, while its more affectionate name will be the School of the Most Pure Heart of Mary. When completed it will be a most inspiring looking structure there in the midst of one of our most thickly populated Negro settlements, and a more suitable spot could not have been selected. For this new and magnificent structure the entire Negro population of Savannah is deeply indebted and it will stand as a fitting monument to the Catholics in their uniting efforts to better the advancement of our people in this city. And in this connection it will not be amiss to call attention to the other educational institutions which we are afforded by the Catholics and which are to be found in almost every section of our city; namely: in West Savannah, in Springfield, at Chatham hall and at St. Benedict's Mission on East Broad St. pleasant and have often, even when a trip away would have added materially to our welfare, preferred to remain at home rather than accept the accommodations given us in one corner of a coach which was but little better than a freight car. We have been subjected to all manner of treatment and all kinds of humiliation and have on the whole, been given accommodations which would suffer in comparison to that given in other countries to second and even third class passengers. We have been denied clean, well ventilated and comfortable cars and have, without exception been refused Pullman reservations. We therefore are much pleased over the decision of Judge Sanford but we realize that it will be up to us to demand our rights and we should not sit idly by and allow these privileges to be denied us but let us see to it that we get the accommodations which our money pays far. We have been paying first class prices for little less than third class accommodations, and if in the future we do not get the equivalent of our money let us make a strenuous protest and thereby show to the authorities who have the regulation of this matter in hand that we are being treated unjustly and that we are being discriminated against. What we want is the same accommodation for the money that the white man receives for his, and not a bit more or one iota less; and until we are accorded this right let us not fail to register our protests with the proper authorities. Notes From McCan, Ga. Rev. Williams, in his quarterly meeting, Sunday before last, held his audience spell bound for over an hour. His discourse was unusually interesting and full of good, sound advice. Among the many bits of advice being earnestly and widely given by the far seeing men of this town, is that which is exhorting the people to purchase homes of their own. How well this advice is being accepted is attested by the fact that new life has been taken on in this line and many of the inhabitants are vicing with one another in purchasing their own homes. Limerick Notes. On Sunday, Jan. 29, the little daughter of Rev. and Mrs. Primo was christened at Ebenezer Presbyterian church, by Rev. A. Wilson, pastor of Days Memorial church.

Interesting Services in The Churches of the City. F. B. B. Church Dots. The weather on Sunday was ideal and an exceedingly large crowd took advantage of this and accompanied Rev. Wright to Nicolsonboro where he was installed pastor of the Nicolsonboro Baptist Church.

Just how serious a problem tuberculosis is to the average church, and in just what ways pastors are called, upon to minister to those suffering from this disease, is the subject of an investigation which the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is conducting in connection with its plans for Tuberculosis day on April 30. Statistics are being gathered from thousands of ministers regarding this subject, and among other figures the number of deaths last year from tuberculosis in the church congregation will be given. It is planned to place these statistics, together with other educational material, in the hands of every minister in the country for his use in connection with Tuberculosis day. Millions of circulators and pamphlets on the prevention of tuberculosis will also be issued, both from the national office and from the headquarters of the 450 anti-tuberculosis associations who will operate in the movement.

"Ever since I can remember we had used coffee three times a day. It had a more or less injurious effect upon us all, and I myself suffered almost death from indigestion and nervousness caused by it. "I know it was that, because when I would leave it off for a few days I would feel better. But it was hard to give it up, even though I realized how harmful it was to me. "At last I found a perfectly easy way to make the change. Four years ago I abandoned the coffee habit and began to drink Postum, and I also influenced the rest of the family to do the same. Even the children are allowed to drink it freely as they do water. And it has done us all great good. "I no longer suffer from indigestion, and my nerves are in admirable tone since I began to use Postum. We never use the old coffee any more. "We appreciate Postum as a delightful and healthful beverage, which not only invigorates but supplies the best of nourishment as well." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Milch.

THE ADVANTAGE OF A COLORED THEATRICAL CIRCUIT. Legitimate amusements are necessary for the welfare and advancement of any race of people. The mind of the Eskimo, who has no drama, no theaters, no vaudeville artists, is dull, almost stupid and not creative. The same may be said of peoples in the South Sea Islands, in the desert stretches of Asia and of some of the people of South America. Among such people advancement is so slow that it is not apparent. The Negro race in the United States has demonstrated through its poets, through its dramatic writers, through its musical composers and through its high-class actors, that it is capable of creating a world of amusement of its own. It is necessary for the Negro in the United States to have his own amusement enterprises, and it is eminently possible that he may have them successfully. The following points which I will discuss are of absorbing importance to the colored people of the country today, and they will grow in importance very rapidly before the incoming year is out: 1. Capital for colored amusement enterprises should be furnished by colored financiers, of whom there are many. 2. There should be a central book-ing agency for colored acts in Chicago, so that high class teams or companies may get twenty or thirty weeks of steady work on the colored circuit. 3. The managers of white vaudeville circuits are steadily discriminating against colored acts, and for no other reason than that the presence of colored acts in their theaters serves to draw colored people to these theaters. 4. The colored theaters now in existence have proven that they are financially successful, showing that the average colored person appreciates good acts produced by his own people and also that the colored people are desirous of being entertained by legitimate amusements. 5. There is some danger that white capitalists will get control of tuese colored amusement places, being more ready to put their money into such ventures than the colored capitalists. 6. The colored church should give its support to legitimate theatrical productions, rather than snub them, as it does at present. 7. The creative abilities of thousands of colored men and women, who, today, are producing theatrical matter acceptable to the white races, should be more encouraged by their own people, so, that the colored school of entertainment may become distinct and at the same time high of class; so that eventually all lovers of intellectual amusements will grow to obliterate race prejudice as far as stage entertainment is concerned. 8. Race pride should see to it that the colored people of the United States—especially those in the large centers of population who have been favored with privileges of education not enjoyed by their brothers and sisters in some of the rural sections of the country—have clean, moral, educational and inspiring dramatic productions exclusively for themselves in order that the world may see that we appreciate the highest standards of entertainment. There are enough colored theaters in existence at tae present time to make possible and successful a colored vaudeville circuit. All that is needed is a man or a few men of executive ability to manage the circuit. The colored theaters will be just as able to pay as good price for acts as are the theaters in the small white circuits. Colored actors and actresses, too, are just as willing to perform before their own people as before audiences of white people. As a matter of fact, so keen today is the discrimination against colored acts in many of the white circuits that before the next year is over it will be hard Pass Right Along. "Good morning, Jennie. Could I join in, your little stroll?" "I'm afraid the man I'm already joined to would object." Maude—You say you were engaged to her once? Cholly—Once? Why, I've been engaged to her a dozen times.

She—That let's me out—Brooklyn Life. work for a colored act to get employment on a white circuit. Today there are between 800 and 1,000 white vaudeville teams wearing the "black vell," and within 12 months many more white black-faced acts will have pushed the legitimate colored acts from the boards of the white yaudeville circuits. This is $n_0$; reflection upon the quality of the acts of the colored actors and actresses, many of whom far surpass their white imitators in singing, dancing and all-round acting. White managers frankly acknowledge that the colored act is a better drawing card than the "black-vell" imitation. It simply means that white managers are going to please their patrons who object to the presence of colored people in audiences. For the sake of the colored race, for the sake of the advancement of our people in an intellectual way, we cannot afford to let go to waste the remarkable talent which is now serving to amuse and educate millions of white theater-goers. Therefore, the need of a colored vaudeville circuit is manifest, as is also the need of more colored theaters. Any city in which there are 15,000 colored people is eminently able to support a high-class colored vaudeville house, producing anywhere from four to six acts and moving pictures. As far as matters of entertainment go, colored capitalists are extremely timid in investing their money. In a certain city there is a colored man said to be nearly a millionaire, and scores of colored men worth at least $100,000, the successful theater is backed by a far-seeing white man, who knows absolutely nothing of the theatrical business. He saw, however, more quickly than our capitalists, that there is good money in colored theaters. He is now making money hand over fist, money which should properly go back to our own people. It should be a matter of race pride for the colored people of this country to show that they are able to finance, furnish acts for and paying audiences to a chain of high-class vaudeville theaters. It should be as important for us to have our high class playhouses as it is for us to have our high-class church edifices. Both are uplifting, both elevating, both educational, and both are marks of intellectual progress. There is plenty of colored capital in any city in the country having 15,000 colored people, so if colored capital is not forthcoming for colored theaters other capital will be forthcoming because, within a short time, colored theaters will be an absolute necessity where colored people are found in large numbers. Entrance to high-class playhouses is becoming more difficult daily. Therefore, let colored capital create a chain of playhouses reaching from the North to the South, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi river. I know there is a certain antagonism to the theater among the colored preachers of the country, an unfounded prejudice. The stage is accounted the greatest moral teacher in the world, that is the legitimate stage. This article does not deal with burlesque shows, but with high-class entertainment, such as families, fathers, mothers and children attend. Our playrights, our song writers and our monologists are constantly working up the theatrical offerings which portray the healthy emotions which ridicule vice and crime, and which show up the weakness due to vanity, to vainglory and to snobbishness. Such offerings are, helpful to our people. Wit in plenty we have, and who better understands the wit appreciated by colored folk than wits of their own color. Therefore, let our colored men with money inquire deeply into the theat Little Things Worth Knowing Ambassador Kerens, at Vinna, reports that the next International Congress on refrigeration will be field-in in the United States. Germany' is experimenting' with glass telephone poles, reinforced with wire. Japan's revenue and expenditure for 1809-1910 fiscal year (March 31) balanced at 52,000,000 yen (260,000,000). Including Formosa, Japan now has a population of 53,875,390. It is increasing at the rate of about 600,000 a year. Wheat flour was imported into the United States during the first eight months of 1910 to the value of $330,514, against $412,394 in the same period of 1909 and $98,359 in the same months of 1908. The customs duty remains the same—25 per cent. ad valorem. The cost of travelling by rail in Russia is much less than in the United States, and the danger of accidents is reduced to a minimum by the fact that the trains do not run at great speed, averaging about twenty-five miles an hour for the main lines and twenty miles on the branches. During a period covering one year and the last year of which there is any definite report there were admitted at Ellis Island, New York, 421 insane persons. Immigration inspectors succeeded in deporting all of title dumber. rical question, so that-they, by inves- sing their surplus money, may get the credit for nursing the budding play- rights and song writers of our-race. The race needs all the joy it can get, all the sweet music and harmless wilt, all the inspiration watch comes from poems the most simple of us can understand, and all the confidence we can get by knowing that we do not have to rely upon white theatrical people to furnish us the recreation we need and crave. There are hundreds of excellent colored men and women today in the theatrical profession, and most of the encouragement they have got has been from the people of the white race in whose playhouses they have performed continually. It will not be long before these hundreds of earnest men and women will be out of work, for they are finding if harder daily to get engagements on the big vaudeville circuits. If, however, the chain of vaudeville houses which I suggest should be immediately put into action, these talented people could go on with the work to which they have devoted so much time and cultivation. It is up to the colored race, therefore, to do all in its power through money and patronage to keep up the standard of its professional entertainers. The legitimate theater is a positive blessing. It keeps men and women from squandering their money and time in drink and gambling. It is a great aid to the church, in that it gives the lovers of song inspiration and encouragement to go into sacred music seriously. It is a means of innocent amusement, and drives home better than in any other ways the pitfalls which are only too prone to occur in the paths of most human beings. It is educational, in that the clever playrights invariably make play upon the very things one should learn to avoid. In that way it serves to keep the innocent from falling into the traps of the wicked. It is as necessary a part of one's life as is the Bible or dictionary to the library of an author. Therefore, colored arrangers should wake up and wipe the cobwebs from their eyes and form a vaudeville circuit before it is too late.—T. L. Pankey, in New York Age. Sherlock Again The tailor attempted to say "good morning," but the irate customer snapped off the greeting in the middle. "I don't want any work done," he said, "and I don't want any palavering. What I want is to find out why you sent that blifhering idiot of an inventor around to my place to try to talk me into investing something in his new patent. Who told you I had money to throw away?" "No one," said the tailor, "but I knew you were interested in new schemes and listened patiently to promoters, because your top coat button is always getting loose. That shows that somebody does a mighty lot of tagging at it. It is people with schemes to finance that have the tugging habit, so I didn't have to do any deep reasoning to figure out that promoters in general consider you worth cultivating. Am I not right?" "You are," said the frate customer "And by the way, while I'm here, I wish you would sew on this top button.

Jolius Caesar. ROYALTY AS THE GODFATHER Difficulty in Europe Successfully Overcome by the Exercise of Some Diplomacy. In the early days of the reign of the late King Leopold of Belgium a seventh son was born to a Brussels woman, and when the king heard of it and was told that the boy was the seventh successive one and that no girl had come to the family, he asked to be the baby's godfather. Ever since then every seventh son born in Brussels has had the same honor, and the mothers have received gifts in keeping with their station in life. King Albert, in carrying out the old adage a short time ago, had some difficulty "because the seventh son was twins," according to the Frankfurter Zeitung. "He could not stand for both boys, because that would give the family two Alberts. The remedy was found by Queen Elizabeth, who suggested that her little son, the duke of Brabant, be the godfather of the eighth boy, who consequently received the name of Leopold." BLAME PHYSICIANS FOR GROWTH OF DOPE HABIT Druggists Say Prescriptions and Not Patent Medicines the Cause. New York.-Blame for the prevalence and growth of the morphine habit was placed on the shoulders of physicians, who prescribed the drug, at a meeting of druggists here tonight to protest against the recently enacted city ordinance prohibiting the sale at retail of any preparation containing morphine or its salts except upon a doctor's prescription. The ordinance is aimed primarily at paregoric and at stomach remedies, according to members of the board of health who were instrumental in obtaining its passage. Caswell Mayo, one of the druggists, said he had made a canvass by mall of several sanitariums and the replies convinced him 90 per cent. of the victims of drugs formed the habit as a result of using prescriptions given by physicians and only 8 per cent. from using proprietary medicines.

U, ATLANTA, NO. 51912. English Writer Now Views Race Question in Different Light. SUCCESSFUL FARMING IN AFRICA Washington, D. C.—(Special.)—J. Ellis Barker, who is making his head quarters temporarily in this city, has come from his home in London, England, to study the political, social and economic problems of the United States. He is taking a special interest in the race problem, and has made it a point to meet all of our representative citizens and to visit the schools of various types, the churches, the hospitals, social settlements and the homes of every class of colored people, so numerously found in the cosmopolitan capital of the nation. Mr. Barker is a gentleman of the highest culture, easy of approach, an earnest seeker after the whole truth, and possesses a magnetic personality. He is one of England's most prominent political and economic writers, and is the author of "Great and Greater Britain," "Modern Germany," "The Rise and Decline of the Netherlands," "British Socialism," and other works which are considered standard books and which have been published both in England and America. In an interview relative to his observations on the race question Mr. Barker said: "We people in Europe do not understand the race problem, and we do not know the colored peole, for the simple reason that there are not any colored people in Europe. In London, where I live, there are only a few hundred colored students whom one does not meet. Before I came to the United States my prejudice against the colored people was as great as that of any Southern planter. My prejudice against your race, as I believe the prejudice of most white people, was due rather to ignorance than to ill will. I had been told in the books and papers published in Europe that the colored people were a race of barbarians and savages. I had been told that the colored people were a worthless set of people, dressed in rags, working a day or two during the week, and loafing during the rest of the time. I was told that the colored people were idle, diseased and vicious. So I imagined that all of them lived in slums and alleys and that the aristocracy of the race consisted of the waiters and railway porters. "I had been told that the colored people only played at science; that their doctors and lawyers were charlatans I had been toldthat the people of mixed race were even worse than pure Negroes; that the mulattoes had lost the primitive virtues of the Negroes and had acquired all of the vices of the whites." "Have you met Dr. Booker T. Washington?" our representative asked Mr. Blarker. "Yes," responded the noted Englishman, "I have met him and spent several very profitable hours in his company. I have found him one of the ablest and most intelligent men I have ever met. He is as sharp as a needle. He has a vast fund of practical common sense and eminently statesman-like views. I have had the pleasure of hearing him speak at the dedication of the Science Hall of Howard University. His speech was by far, the best speech I have ever heard on a similar occasion. I think that he is, perhaps, the greatest orator living. At any rate, he is the greatest orator I have ever heard. "Mr. Booker T. Washington is truly a great man and he has the modesty of a great man. He is a credit to your race, and his life and work should be an inspiration to every man, woman and child of color. Praise of the most extravagant nature has not been able to spoil him, because he is genuine till the way through. Criticism, often unjust and uncalled for, has not turned him from the upward and onward course his genius has marked out as The African appears to have learned from observation that the soil can be artificially enriched. Where there is no outside influence this is done by burning the trees and underbrush upon the land and mixing the ashes with the soil. When it is desired to open a new plantation, the trees are cut down with axes made of native iron, the trunks and branches are piled up and burned and the ashes are spread on the soil. If grass land to be brought under cultivation, the laborer seizes as much of the grass as he can conveniently hold and ties it into a knot. He then takes his hoe and severs the roots; he proceeds in this manner until the whole ground has the appearance of a field covered with little shocks of corn. Just before the rains begin, these grass shocks are collected in small heaps, covered with earth and burned. The ashes and burnt soil are then used to fertilize the ground. The African also has some knowledge of irrigation. The Portuguese found the natives of Angola practic- Men's minds are as unlike as their faces. A word to the wise is seldom sufficient.

While others are indulging in complaints and reciting epigrams, Booker T. Washington is building a race on solid ground. "The future will prove the wisdom of this epoch-making man and bring him the full measure of the appreciation he so richly merits. I have met others, too, who possess remarkable mental and moral force. "My impression of the colored people on the whole has been eminently favorable. If your readers will supply me with the necessary material I shall be in a position to put their case prominently before the world. I am eager to get on to Hampton, the place that gave Booker Washington his basic training, and Tuskegee, the achievement that has brought him international fame. "A chance encounter with a cultured man of color induced me to look into the race problem," continued Mr. Barker, 'and I was perfectly amazed when I discovered how greatly the colored people have been libeled and traduced. I have spent a considerable amount of time with colored people and have met many who are highly cultivated. I have found that among your race you have excellent lawyers and some of the foremost physicians and surgeons. "I have been over a large number of your elementary and higher grade schools and colleges and over Howard univeristy, and I have admired the earnestness and resolute determination with which your children try to improve their minds and to raise themselves. In your night schools I have found old men and women, former slaves, who are anxious to learn writing and reading. I have been to the homes of many colored people and I have found them cozy, comfortable, elegant, and pleased by happy and harmonious families. I have been struck by the enormous progress which the colored race has made. But a few years ago the colored race was living in the stone age; today it has begun to live in the age of electricity. I made the acquaintance of some colored boys who had a wireless installation made by themselves on the roof of their parents' homes and who talk to one another by marconigrams. Wherever I have looked I have found evidences of the most remarkable progress in culture, learning and prosperity. "Having been over many of your institutions and thought many of your homes and having talked to many of your most promint people and to a host of others, I have come to the conclusion that there ought to be a bright future for the colored race. I have come to the conclusion that the race is oppressed and persecuted and very largely because it is not known. I have come to the conclusion that the enemies of the colored race would change their views and their attitude if they could see what I have seen. Therefore, I wish to take them over the road which I have traveled. If the colored people of the country are ready to help me, I am willing to put their case, honestly and fearlessly, before the public, both in Europe and in America. I do not intend to write a book in the ordinary way on the race problem. Too many books have already been written and their value is small, because each book gives only the views of one single individual. I would like to take the civilized world to the homes and institutions of the colored people and, so to say, personally introduce the civilized world to the best among them. Marrying for money proves about as successful as most of the other get-rich-quick games. ng this method of farming. A writer says: "From the top of the ridge flows a river which washes the base and is divided by artificial cuts into various branches that fertilize extensive fields of millet, maize, corn, beans, massays and large plantations of tobacco." In the Eastern Lake Nyassa rangel, the natives practice irrigation and drainage. In eastern equatorial Africa the Wa-Changu have wonderful skill in irrigating their terraced hillsides by sluices of water from the main stream. The little canals are elevated above the cultivated plots and are tapped at a convenient place above the bed to be watered. Banana stems are used instead of a hose and through these the water is thrown upon all parts of the plot. On the Zambesi the natives have some advanced ideas in regard to planting and protecting various fruit and oil-yielding trees. Chapman also, noticed on the Zambesi, where natives had grafted good sorts of fruit on wild fruit trees.—Monroe N. Work, in the Southern Workman.

It is the "light in Masonry" that the candidate is seeking for, and it is only by a study of the teachings of Masonry through his brains that Masonic love to God, his neighbor and himself.—Albro F. Chase, G. M., Maine. Above all, don't criticize your brothren or their acts in the lodge room, but especially don't criticize them before the profane. They may be as honest and sincere in their views and acts as you are. It makes me tired to see the log-rolling and politics in some of our lodges to carry certain measures through, or to put certain men in office. We can prosper only when true brotherly love rules all our actions. Sincerity is the evidence of purity and worth. It is a real gem in morality and spirituality. In conduct it shines as the pure and polished diamond. It exhibits no feigning, no dissembling, no beam of malice, no flaw. As Shakespeare says of the man who is really sincere, so of every Mason it should be said: "His words are bonds, his oaths are oracles." His words sincere, his thoughts immaculate, his tears pure messengers sent from his heart. His heart as far from fraud as heaven from earth. "It is not the honor of men we strive to acquire, but the elevation of a fallen brother, who may have gone astray. Not sitting idle while the brother drifts from the shore and not lifting hand or voice to stop his descent until he reaches the whirlpool of dishonor, then make a heroic effort to save him, for the praise of men. "It is not for the praise of men we should strive to attain, but to elevate a fallen brother, stay his boat while honor is not lost, whispering words of counsel and cheer as he meets trials and reverses, giving the glad hand when the dark clouds of misfortune come upon him, consoling him with true brotherly love." A BLIND WORSHIPFUL MASTER. A case which we believe unparalleled, of a blind man serving as Worshipful Master of a Masonic lodge, and performing all the duties of the office, is furnished in that of Brother W. W. Drake, of Killen, Bell county, Texas. While serving his lodge (South Noland, No. 416) as Worshipful Master, about three years ago, he was stricken blind, but continued in the full discharge of his duties, repeatedly conferring all the three degrees in a manner that would lead few to suspect his physical disability. He was re-elected as worshipful master, and served till last June and attended the annual communication in Waco last month as a past master, mixing as freely and cheerfully with the brothers as any other member. Brother Drake is a farmer, and was born in Tennessee sixty-three years ago, and has been a Mason.thirty-eight years, and all these years he has been an active and zealous member of the Masolinic fraternity.—The Texas Freemason. MASONRY'S INFLUENCE. The tremendous influence of Masonry on the history of the world cannot be questioned. Particularly has it made its mark here in America, where conditions have been most favorable for its growth and the soil most receptive for the sowing of its seed. The assertion has been made that the Declaration of Independence was framed on Masonic lines. Certainly it breathes the lesson of equality and fraternity that is taught in the lodge room, and most of its framers were members of the order. But not in politics, or in material affairs does Masonry find its greatest influence, but in the realm of independent thought and the general uplift of humanity. Religious narrowness and bigotry are not nearly so apparent now, as in the past. Men have stopped disputing over questions of creed and dogma, over absturse denominational and theological points, and look rather for the divine purposes in deeds of kindness, helpfulness and good-will. It is along these lines that Masonry has done its greatest work, and in this field lies its future opportunity. —J. D. McC. Matrimony is the joint stock company which a minister promoteth as a side-line and a lawyer throweth into bankruptcy with the feminine stockholder as the preferred creditor. It is the boot which induceth a girl to swap a hundred dollar salary for a forty-dollar man. 'Tis a neckyoke which maketh two collars to cafe as one. Matrimony is ascribed to softening of the brain or heart, or purse itch. Exactly what causeth it the Lord only knoweth, but time will tell—when it is too late. By matrimony the optimist expecteth to get a silent partner who feareth not the cook or staying alone at night. The pessimist hopeth only to dodge the suffragette when he maketh his choice, and to escape with light allmony. The benefits of matrimony are many (salth the promoter). For mending broken nobility it is without a rival. Through it a man acquireth a good cook and housekeeper—sometimes. And a woman obtaineth a meal ticket—occasionally. And when she doth, although issued for life, she frequently loseth it before it expireth. Matrimoney resuleth variously—in happiness, trouble or even children. The latter, though the least frequent, seem to be the most dreaded. Is matrimony a failure? The neighbor on thy right hand saith, "Yea, it 'is hell," and the one on thy left, "Nay, it is heaven." And verily both are wrong—it is earth. In the blessed realm there is no marrying nor giving up alimony. Angels, being wise, are prudently fearful. Wherefore, only by rushing in and investigating for ourselves can we learn what matrimony hath in store for us. Brethren, let us take a chance.—Terrell Love Holliday, in Smart Set. A Fine Talker. "I like the looks of this parrot," said the lady who had stepped into the bird store. "Is he a good talker?" The proprietor replied that the bird was an excellent talker, and it was evident the customer was favorably impressed, says the Youth's Companion. "What is your price for him?" she asked. The man had noticed the rich apparel worn by his customer, and judged that there was a chance to make a little "easy money" at the expense of one who would never miss it. "Ten dollars," he said, with just the slightest possible hesitation. "Five dollars, madam," instantly croaked the parrot. The lady looked at the proprietor, who had turned red. "He certainly is a fine talker," she said, "and he also seems to have good sense. I am willing to take him at his own valuation. Do I get him for that?" "You do," answered the man, sadly Running Some. The recently appointed chief justice is a pretty good story teller, says the New York Tribune. He was formerly a Louisiana sugar planter, and this is one of the stories attributed to him: Two Negroes on a Louisiana plantation became involved in a row with a gun. The two started to run about the time the bad man began to shoot. The fleeing ones had proceeded about a hundred yards when the following occurred: "Sam, you hear dat bullet!?" "Yes, I hear it—two times." "How you mean two times?" asked the questioner, as he quickened his pace. "I hear dat bullet once when it passed me, and den anudder time when I passed it," jerked out Sam between short breaths. How He Knew. In an assault and battery case tried in a Cleveland court the prosecuting witness testified at length that the defendant had knocked him senseless and had kicked him for several minutes. "If this man's attack rendered you unconscious," demanded the magistrate, "how is it that you know he kicked you when you were down?" This question seemed to honor the witness. He was lost in reflection for some moments; then, brightenenig, he replied: "I know it, your honor, because that's what I would have done to him if I'd got him down."—Circle Magazine.

"George," said her husband'a wife, "I don't believe you have smoked one of those cigars I gave you on your birthday."
