V01. XXVI. NEW EPOCH IN WORLD HISTORY Treaties to Arbitrate Questions of National Honor. U. S., ENGLAND AND FRANCE. Drafts of the Treaty is Submitted by Secretary Knox to the British and French Ambassadors to Serve as Basis of Negotiations. Washington.—Secretary of State Knox has submitted to the British and French Ambassadors the draft of a convention to serve as a basis of negotiations for the principle of arbitration of practically all disputes between nations, including even questions of vital interest and national honor. The fact that this world movement would be inaugurated with France as well as Great Britain came as a great surprise, as it was generally understood that only the United States and England were concerned in the initial steps. P. PHILANDER CHASE KNOX Secretary of State. When President Taft, last December, enunciated the doctrine of comprehensive arbitration he received a quick response from Ambassadors Bryce and Jusserand that Great Britain and France were willing to begin negotiations with this country for the peaceful settlement of practically all differences that may arise. The President instructed Secretary Knox immediately to crystallize the arbitral proposition which this government would offer to foreign nations. The secretary has evolved a document, which has received the approval of the president and the other members of his cabinet, providing that all differences which are internationally justifiable shall be submitted to arbitration. It expands the scope of the existing arbitration treaties by eliminating the exceptions referring to "questions of vital interest and national honor." This elimination is the real accomplishment of the proposed treaty. The exceptions mentioned are found in arbitration treaties the world over and have constituted the chief obstacle to the application of the arbitration principle, for it is hard to conceive of a problem which in its essence cannot be regarded as having a controlling bering upon "national honor" or "vital interest." Recognizing that there may be questions of policy and other matters likely to force nations to the brink of war, but which no people would be willing to arbitrate, the tentative draft of the treaty provides that differences that either party consider within this category shall be referred to a commission of inquiry empowered to make recommendations for their settlement. In this connection the treaty will take another advanced step by binding the disputants to arbitration in case the commission of inquiry declares that the controversy shall be arbitrated. Arbitration in all cases will be a last resort. After the two countries have concluded that it is impossible to settle a dispute through diplomatic interchange, the question will be submitted to a commission of inquiry charged with the duty of suggesting a way to avoid arbitration if possible. The United States Senate will not be asked to relinquish its right to pass upon the question of arbitrating each dispute. All agreements to arbitrate will be entered into with "the advice and consent of the Senate," as under existing conventions. Earthquake In Spain.

FIGHT FOR HONOR, ROOSEVELT Former President, Writing on Treaty, Contends Arbitration Cannot Settle All New York. — Former President Roosevelt has an article on "The Arbitration Treaty with Great Britain" in the "Outlook." He says in part: Between Great Britain and the United State it is now safe to have a universal arbitration treaty, because the experience of ninety-six years has shown that the two nationas have achieved that point of civilization where each can be trusted not to do the other any one of the offenses which ought to preclude any self-respecting nation from apcaling to arbitration. But no language should be used in the treaty which would tend to obscure this cardinal fact, this cardinal reason why the treaty is possible and desirable. Among the private individuals the man who, if his wife is assaulted and has her face slapped, will go to law about it instead of fortwith punishing the offender would be regarded with derision. * * * In just the same way, the United States ought never specifically to blind itself to arbitrate questions respecting its honor, independence and integrity. Either it should be tacitly understood that the contracting powers no more agree to surrender their rights on such vital matters than a man in civil life agrees to surrender the right of self-defense; or else it should be explicitly stated that, because of the fact that it is now impossible for either party to take any action infringing the honor, independence and integrity of the other, we are willing to arbitrate all questions. Mr. Roosevelt refers to armed bodies of Mexican troops having fired across the boundary and killed or wounded American citizens, and says: T. R. COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. In this case we have chosen to submit to such invasions, as is our right and privilege if we so desire. But it would be absolutely intolerable to blind ourselves to arbitrarily the questions raised by such invasions. If for instance, instead of its being Mexican troops firing into our inland towns and killing our citizens, it happened to be an English or a German or a Japanese fleet which, not once but again and again, fired into our coast towns, killing and wounding citizens, this nation would immediately demand, not arbitration but either atonement or war, Hawaii's Petition for Statehood. Washington.—Speaker Clark laid before the House a concurrent resolution of the Senate and House of Hawaii requesting Congress to pass an enabling act for a constitutional convention to admit the territory to statehood.

BUSINESS SOULS HAVY BLUE AND SPECTACLES THE INTENSE SOUL GREEN AND LAVENDER COLORED GOWNS N WITHOUT SOUL - MOST OLD COLOR DO THE "SPIRITUAL SOUL" WHITE AND PALE BLUE COLORED GOWNS ING TO THE KIND OF SOUL SHE HARLAN CALLS IT USURPATION Differs From Colleagues in Standard Oil Case. VENERABLE JURIST SEVERE. Counsels for Corporations Have Finally Succeeded in Inducing the Supreme Court to Overrule Itself. Washington, D. C.—Justice Harlan in his dissenting opinion in the Standard Oil Company case held that his brother judges had no right to usurp the function of the legislative branch of the Government by writing into the statute a differentiation between "reasonable" and "unreasonable." He declared that Congress had resisted all appeals to so amend the act and that there was every reason to believe that such an amendment never could be put through the legislative branch. Under these circumstances and in their extremity great aggregations of wealth applied to the court in an effort to have it construe the law in a way that would be a flat reversal of what it had held on two previous occasions. In part, Justice Harlan says in his dissent: "The Anti-Trust Act of 1890 was passed at a time when this country was in a state of great unrest, arising out of an enormous aggregation of capital in a few hands, and arising out of combinations which had their hands upon the throat of this country in respect even to the necessities of life; and Congress had before it the great question as to how these evils were to be remedied, so far as Congress had the power to remedy them. "In the now, not very short life that I have passed in this capital and the public service of the country the most alarming tendency of this day, in my judgment, so far as the safety and integrity of our institutions are concerned, is the tendency to judicial legislation, so that, when men having vast interests are concerned, and they cannot get the law-making power of the country which controls it to pass the legislation they desire, the next thing they do is to raise the question in some case to get the court to so construe the Constitution or the statutes as to mean what they want it to mean. That has not been our practice. "This happens to be a case of an over-shadowing combination of such vast wealth and enormous power that it may fairly be deemed a menace to the general business interests of the country; but this difference ought not to induce us to depart from a settled, wholesome rule which, being faithfully observed, will guard the integrity and secure the safety of the nation and of its institutions against the attacks of those who would undermine all law and who would, for the sake of present advantages and ends be willing to undo the work of the fathers. "Who do I say to undo the work of the fathers?" "If there is any feature in our Governmental system that is now among the nations of the earth, it is that provision of the Federal Constitution which divides the departments of government among three co-ordinate branches — legislative, executive and judicial; and neither branch has the right to encroach upon the domain of the other. PRESIDENT DIAZ WILL STEP DOWN PRESIDENT DIAZ WILL STEP DOWN De La Barra to be President Interim. President Diaz Announces That He Will Resign Before the End of the Month-De La Barra, Named as His Successor. Mexico City- President Diaz and Vice-President Corral will resign before June 1 and Minister of Foreign Relations de la Barra will become president ad interim, according to official announcement just made. Francisco I. Madero, Jr., the revolutionary leader, will be called to Mexico City to act as De la Barra's chief adviser and to serve as the greatest guarantee possible that every pledge made by the government to end the revolution will be carried out. As viewed by the public it will be virtually a joint presidency, pending the calling of a new presidential election. The Cabinet will be re-organized. The Minister of War will be named by De la Barra. The Foreign Office will be in charge of a subsecretary, named by de la Barra. Other cabinet members will be chosen by De la Barra and Madero acting jointly. A new election will be called within six months and political amnesty will be recommended to the chamber of deputies. [Illustration of a man in a military uniform]. DON FRANCISCO LEON DE LA BARRA The foregoing are the conditions on which President Diaz will compromise with the revolutionists. Virtually they are admitted in high quarters to be a complete surrender to the revolutionists. Madero As Joint Regent. The resignation of Diaz and the "joint regency" of De la Barra and Madero are said to constitute a guarantee so complete that the original insurrection demand for 14 governors no longer need be considered: The cabinet was in almost continuous session for two days, despite the severe illness of President Diaz. The President's entire face is infected from an ulcerated tooth. His upper lip is swollen far beyond its normal size and his face is inflamed. He speaks with the greatest difficulty, but while he is in severe pain, his condition is not alarming at this time, despite his advanced age. The government's conditions were telegraphed to Judge Carbajal in the afternoon, with instructions to submit them to General Madero. They were accepted, apparently as an armistice covering the entire republic of Mexico, and were agreed upon at Juarez in the evening. Inasmuch as the government believes that it had made every concession that the revolutionists requested, it is firmly believed that a treaty of peace will follow. Orders the War Stooped. Juaréz, Mexico.—Francisco I. Madero, Jr., has announced that the news from Mexico City was so entirely satisfactory to him it might be universally proclaimed that peace throughout Mexico is now an accomplished fact. As the date for the withdrawal from office of President Dlaz and Vice-President Corral has been definitely fixed for June 1, it will not be necessary for the insurrectors to institute provisional governors or provisional members of the cabinet for the intervening 12 days, but the fact that Madero will act with Minister De La Barra in the reorganization of the government will be accepted as sufficient guarantee of the success of the revolution: Diaz's announcement of his intention to resign is accepted with absolute faith by the revolutionists. HONESTY IS NOT PREVALENT Such Is the Conclusion That Must Be Drawn From Facts of Business Life. Most people are accounted honest at heart, at least "indifferent honest" like Hamlet. Social and commercial relations demand some degree of honesty, and where the quality is not instinctive it is presumed to be cultivated for expediency as the "best policy." Credit is the very corner stone of business. But while in theory every one is assumed to be honest, what is the practice? Why are factory deors locked to permit a search of employees for stolen material? What is the reason for the enormous sales of cash registers and the multiplication of office checks and balances to prevent the theft of money by those professionally engaged in handling it? Why do bonding and surety companies multiply and why do customs officers pry into the imports of great commercial houses as well as into the baggage of steamship passengers? A curiously suggestive municipal exhibit of the relation of the theory of honesty to the conditions was furnished last week by the heaps of short-measure market baskets piled up against the city hall after seizure by the police. Is the honesty of even the farmer in doubt? Here was mute evidence of a state of things that gives reason for more concern than grand jury.

A well-known theatrical manager was striding down Broadway when he stopped to chat with a young woman he had not seen for a year. "When did you come to town?" he asked pleasantly. "Why, didn't you know that I am living here?" she asked. "No. Is that so?" "Yes. How strange that you have not heard of it. Surely you must have seen my husband." "Oh, yes, I have had several chats with him, but I didn't know that you had come over too." "Do you mean to say that you thought—" She hesitated, then added indignantly. "Such a thing is impossible." "Anything is possible nowadays," said the manager consolingly. "Somehow he didn't happen to mention you, and I never ask questions. I don't propose to take any chances. I made a dreadful blunder once by asking about a man's wife who had been twice removed since I had met the husband last, and I promised myself then that I would never do it again." HELD BULL BY THE HORNS. A farmer's daughter was faced the other-day with the necessity of practically fulfilling the advice of the old adage, "take the bull by the horns." The story of how the young girl, Mina Jacques, rescued her father from a mad bull comes from Beaulicu, Hampshire, England. The animal suddenly became infuriated, and after knocking down the girl's brother, rushed at the father, and tossed him a considerable distance. Miss Jacques, hearing the uproar, came out, seized the bull by the horns, and held the animal until the injured men escaped indoors. She then let go and also ran for the house. She barely succeeded in making her escape, the bull actually charging the door. HAIR DRESSER'S VERSION.

"Any doctor who cures a patient of an illness serious enough to be written up in a medical magazine has a right to feel proud of himself, but he isn't nearly so proud as the person he cured," said a doctor. "It actually looks as if seeing the history of their cases in print compensates some folks for being sick. "Nearly everybody nowadays who has a pretty hard pull to get back to health asks me if I am not going to write up the case for publication. The mere suggestion that it is not interesting enough for copy nearly causes a relapse. As an incentive to recovery I have tried my literary skill on several cases that contained not one sensational feature from a scientific standpoint. "The patients were pretty sick, of course, and thought they were going to die. Over and over I assured them that they had a straight attack of fever or stomach trouble without complications, but they were convinced I was only putting it mildly to keep from scaring them to death. When, just to please them, I finally wrote a history of the illness they were so proud that they had the story printed in pamphlet form at their own expense." M. K. Bone—Stone's girl weighs 200. Cone—When she sits on his knee I should think it would be a case of "crushed Stone." NEW YORK STILL A FUR STATE. That the reputation of the state of New York as a fur bearing district has not been entirely lost and that that reputation so far as Wayne county is concerned is still being kept up is shown by the fact that approximately $30,000 worth of furs were shipped to New York-by one dealer during the fall of 1910 and so far during 1911. Since the season opened last fall he has bought furs as follows: Fifty thousand muskrats, 10,000 skunks, 500 raccoons, 600 minks, 300 red foxes, 500 ermine, which make a total of over 60,000 skins. Undoubtedly this does not represent the entire catch, for there are probably other dealers.—Newark (N. Y.) Union-Gazette. PRIMITIYE TELEGRAPHY. An amusing story of reckoning by notches comes from Preston, England. The other day a North Country cattle dealer entered a telegraph office and handed a telegraph which consisted, besides the address, of eight strokes. The clerk inquired if these were meant for figures. "Call them figures or whatever you like," said the sender, "so that they come out the same at the other end, and I'll tell you why. That telegram is going to my housekeeper. She can't read or write a word, but when the telegram reaches her she'll count the strokes, and understand that I shall be home at eight o'clock tonight."

POETRY of and by Our People "YOUR FAULTS AND MINE." If you look for faults in others you can see But the searchlight searches you As well as me. But the thing you ought to know is the thing you ought to do. Then you'll never have the time To much ado. If you guard your little self once a day You will find you have'a load In the way. Burdened with many a little sin From without and from within. Though your ways you try to mend Every day. When you are quiet and weary worn, And you think your faults are gone; Many see. Then if your life was then laid bare, Sins, enormous enough to scare A shield of iron you wish to wear; To be free. When you are happy, joyous and gay And you imagine your faults away; They are there. Hid beneath much merriment, Pleasures rare and much content In one direction your mind is bent; The faults are there. When you hear the church bell ring, And you go and pray and sing; You think you're free, But your sins of all the week, In the church house, you, they seek Though you look salient, mild and meek, They are there. When you meet others in the way with how-do-you. A pleasant look to them you felgn to show; With a smile. But you know in daily life. Even if you secret strife For your faults are much berife; They defile. You may try to walk a saint, Bear your guilt without complaint; You are known. Upon His name, you loudly call. Give up self, surrender all; This you do when about to fall; You have sown. You may call all men your brother You may try your faults to smother; In this way. But the Lamb of calvary In His omnipotence you will see, Depart, depart, to you will be In Judgment day. You can pay your earthly tithes And sing your prayings from earth to sky; All is known. But hypocrite and Pharisee, you Praying loud about what you do, You can neer the Narrow path pursue For what you've done. You may give something to the poor, Open your heart to the very core; That is good, Then after you've done become mourner, Flee from the right, become a Jonah In Judgment day He will disown you As He should. You may hide your serious faults Within your heart, a safety vault You will be known. You may with the public go Whate'er they will that you do, Your faults keep knocking at your door; To be known. You may say you done your duty, Proclaimed the good, true, the beauty; That's nothing new. Your prayers at night do not forsake, Pray keep me, Lord, until I wake, Then your conscience you try to make Play hypocrite, too. The right is near, though turned aside The wrong is welcome to abide, Without dismay. About your soul you wrap a cloak Of sham, deceit and shameful dope, Then cry aloud, I will not provoke In any way. To Satan you see partner share You use his goods and sell his wares As he demands. With him you feel very much at home When unseen, when you're alone. Your sins are bold, to you they come To shake glad hands. If in life you try to reform And pray in earnest, your sins be gone; The struggle begins. To you with whom they are acquainted They flee from those whose lives are tainted And cling to you whose life is tainted With much vim. The soul that once becomes acclimated To regions and climes both inhabited With faults so dear, Will find it work, too much undo The things in life that come to you Ere the crown be won that comes in view, Or Heavenly fare. —Clarence F. Carr, in Palestine Plain- dealer. INDIVIDUALITY A sculptor carved a statue fine, And many came to see. "It were immortal,' said his friends, "If this or that might be." The sculptor changed it here and there, To suit their varied taste, And thought: "The more the statue grows The more the marble wastes." And still he changed, and still his friends Besides, it seemed anomalous, Sans character or tone, A thing unworthy of himself, A bit of lifeless stone. Then his good mallet he did take And broke the image down, And when he wrought another one He let the critics frown. And thus he learned the lesson great, That those who toll for fame Must be themselves, if they would win, The laurels for their name. -Chicago News GEMS OF THOUGHT Dare to be true; nothing can need a lie; A fault which needs it most, grows to two thereby. —George Herbert.

How easy it would be for a man to remain in love with his wife if he had only married somebody else! Referring to a woman as being on the shady side of forty is likely to ruffle her sunny disposition. Many strings to one's beau do not always tie the matrimonial knot.

MICAH'S PICTURE OF UNIVERSAL PEACE. (International Peace Lesson.) Golden Text.—"Nation·shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more;"—Micah 4:3. Micah 4:1-8. Commit vs. 2, 3. Time—710 B. C. Place—Jerusalem. Exposition—I. The Capitol of the Great World Kingdom—Zion, 1, 2. This is a very appropriate passage for an international peace lesson. It shows very clearly how universal peace is to come—not through great peace conferences, as is now expected by those who are ignorant of the teachings of the Word, but through the coming of God's own King to rule in Zion over all nations. "The last (or latter) days" is used in the Bible as a general expression for future time, but predominately with reference to the times of the establishment of Messiah's kingdom (Gen. 40:1; Isa. 2:1-3; 48:47; Ezek. 31:6; Dan. 2:28, 44; 10:14; Hos. 3:5; Acts. 2:17; Heb. 1:2; 2 Pet. 3:3). By "the mountain of the house of the Lord" is meant Zion, where the temple or house of the Lord was located in the days of Solomon. It is difficult to say whether the words that follow mean simply that Zion shall be exalted as to power above all other mountains, or whether there is to be a literal raising of Mount Zion until it is in actual altitude higher than all mountains. There are indications elsewhere that a great physical ichchange will take place in the neighborhood of Jerusalem in the time of the final deliverance of Israel (Zech. 14:41). There are many prophetic references to Zion (e. g., ch. 3:12; Isa. 11:9; 66:20; Ezek. 43:12; Zech. 8:3). The future glory of the kingdoms of this world centers in this mountain. God has exalted no other mountain like this, but its most magnificent greatness lies in the future. It shall be exalted above all mountains and hills. All the rations of the earth shall seek this mountain (v. 1). All the people shall gather to the Messiah (Gen. 49:10), and Zion shall be the center of his kingdom. (cf. Ps. 22:27; 68:29-32; 72:7-11; 16-19; 86:9; Isa. 11:10; 27:13; 43:6; 49:6; 19-23; 60:31-48; 66:18-23; Jer. 3:17; 16:19; Zeph.3:9; 10; Zach. 2:11; 8:20-23; 14:16-21; Rom. 11:25, 26; Rev. 11:15; 15:4. Of course, this refers to the literal Zion. The attempt to apply this prophecy to the church results in utter confusion. This is one of the most fruitful sources of misinterpretation of Old Testament prophecy. In v. 2 we have a clear and profoundly significant statement of the events of those glorious coming days. We have precisely the same prophecy in Isa. 2:24, but a very significant change in Isa. 2:5 from Micah 4:5. Similar prophecies are found in Jer. 31:6; 50:4. 5; Zach. 8:20-23. These prophecies should all be studied together. Jehovah incarnate in the nation will be the teacher of all nations in that day (v. 2, cf. Isa. 54:13). All nations then will "walk in his paths." II. Messlah's Reign. of Universal Peace and Prosperity, 3-5. Jehovah himself, incarnate in his king is to judge among the nations (v. 3, cf. 1 Sam. 2:10; Ps. 96:13; 98:9; Isa. 11:3-5; Matt. 25:31, 32; John 5:22, 23, 27-29; Acts 17:31; Rev. 19:11). He "shall reprove" the warring nations of the earth (cf. ch. 7:16, 17; Ps. 2:5-12; 110:1-5; Joel 3:2, 9-16; Zach. 14:3, 12-19; Rev. 19:17-21; 20:8, 9). After a mighty conflict, they will yield to his reproof and war shall come to an end, not through peace conferences, but through the triumph of God's king (v. 3, cf. Ps. 46:9; Isa. 2:4; 11:6-9; Ps. 72:7; Isa. 60:17, 18; 65:25). Peace conferences may accomplish much, but peace will never be thoroughly established until the prince of peace himself comes and takes the reins of government. With the establishment of peace there will be universal prosperity and security (v. 4). There was a brief anticipation of this in the reign of Solomon, who in this respect was a type of Christ (1 Kings 4:25). There shall be no more fear (v. 4, cf. Isa. 54:11; Jer. 23:5, 6). This glorious prophecy is absolutely sure of fulfillment "for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it." At present, all people walk every one in the name of his God (v. 5, see R. V. margin), in that day, all will walk in the name of Jehovah, our God forever and ever. III. The Regathering of Israel to Jerusalem, 6-8. Israel at present "halteth" or limpeth (cf. Gen. 32:28, 31), but a future day of glory awaits the people of God, Israel is now driven away and afflicted of God because of her sins (v. 6), but is to be regathered and exalted above the nations (cf. ch. 2:12; Jer. 31:8; Ezek. 34:13-17; 36:24; 37:21, 22; 39:25-29; Zeph. 3:19; Ps. 147:2; Isa. 30:8). In v. 7 we have mention of the saved remnant (cf. ch. 5:3, 7-8; Isa. 10:21, 22; 11:16; 49:21-23; Hos. 1:10; Zech. 9:13-17; 10:5-12; Rom. 11:5, 25-27). In that coming day, the Lord shall reign over them in Mount Zion and of his kingdom there shall be no end (v. 7, cf. Ps. 2:6; Isa. 9:6, 7; 24:23; Dan. 7:14, 27; Joel 3:17; Luke 1:33-Rev. 11:15). The dominion is to belong to Israel (v. 8). Jesus, the Christ, who is Jehovah God. (See Isa. 9:6, 7, and note v 7) is to be the king. This is the law, when a man dies in his tent, whoever enters into his tent and everything in it shall be unclean for seven days—Numbers 19:14. This passage shows clearly what an abhorrence the Hebrew lawgiver had of death. The term unclean conveys the idea of a blemish, of an attaint. He that was unclean was absolutely segregated for the time from the people. He was an unhallowed person. To be reinstated in religious communion he had to bring some expiatory sacrifice as a form of penance. And nothing rendered an Israelite so unclean as contact-with the dead. The priests and the Levites, representatives as they were of the people in the Hebrew hierarchy, were especially forbidden, except in rare instances, to come in contact with the dead. To the promulgators of the Hebrew faith the law was to embody a teaching of life for the living; not a religion of death for the dead. This was in the nature of a protest against the death religion of the Egyptians, who worshipped their greatest god in the dark recesses on the grave. The mighty pyramids on the banks of the Nile, the wonder of the world for so many ages, stand mutely eloquent of a belief that made of its greatest monuments temples for the dead. So far as archaeologists have been able to discover, the greatest literary treasure of ancient Egypt is the "Book of the Dead," a manual intended for the soul in its approach to the god of the nether world. Against all this the religious legislation of the bible was an emphatic protest. What was sacred to the Egyptian was to be profane and unclean to the Israelite. Not the grave was to be his goal of aspiration, but the living world. He was not to envelop himself in the sombre shadows of superstitious fear, but he was to bathe in the light of day, full of hope and happiness, recognizing in his god a source of never-failing life. The lawgiver here combats the pessimism which lay over all men like a pall. All biblical institutions took on the same optimistic tinge. There was the Sabbath, a day of rest and happiness; there was the spring festival, celebrating the joyousness of nature; there was the early harvest and the late harvest festivals, which celebrated the bounties of the earth, of sunshine and of life. Even the Day of Atonement, upon which it is expressly commanded "Ye shall afflict yourselves," had not always a penitential character; for we have evidence to prove that at one time it was made a day of rejoicing. So we may go through the whole body of Hebrew legislation and find it quick with the joy of life. This was altogether new. It reveals the first decisive step toward a true conception of human life and of human worth. What characterized the heathen more than anything else was a certain abject servility with relation to the gods they created. These gods not only ruled with a remorseless vigor on earth, but revealed in the utmost cruelty in the after-life. The greatest sacrifices, therefore, were never too great for them. In the worship of Astarte women sacrificed their dearest possession; in the worship of Molocol mothers sacrificed their, babes; in the worship of Bal men sacrificed thousands of captives. Neither the Greek with all his wisdom nor the Roman with all his power could escape that debasing thrall. The Hebrew faith came with its teachings respecting a God of love and justice to release men from these abject fears. It brought with it a consciousness of the dignity of the human soul. It began to teach men to look upward. It removed the scales from their eyes and gave them visions of heaven. It is well to know the spirit of Hebraic institutions in their beginnings because from that early day to the present it has never ceased to ennoble human life. The result is the uplift of mankind. Adapted to each age, understood variously by various peoples, the religion of the ancient Hebrews has finally transformed the world. Under one name or another the God of ancient Israel is the God of civilized mankind. Jew and Christian alike, therefore, give glory to God in the highest. The world has received its scheme of salvation. It was first announced, countless generations ago, to our lawgivers and our prophets. It was proclaimed with the force of divine law that man is made in the image of his Maker; that the eternal fire of heaven is kindled in his breast; that he has in himself the desire and the capacity to be like unto God—to strive for love, for justice, for holiness, and to attain it. It is also proclaimed as an eternal law that as a child of God man shall have the divine dignity of freedom, of choosing for himself the way he would walk—the way of good or of evil, the way of sin or saintliness, the way of life or death. Thus out of the Egyptian darkness of superstition and dread there came a message of truth and true humanity; in the valley of the shadow of death where the human mind lay chained there dawned the light of God with the message of joy, of happiness and of life. A religion of life and of hops was given to the world, the priceless jewel that will ever adorn the human mind and heart. Of this law which our forefathers received the prophet long ago said: "It is a tree of life to them that lay hold of it and those who eling to it are accounted blossomed." C. A. RUBENSTEIN. Congregation First Accused the Old Darky Minister and Then Found the Ham. In connection with the inland waterways project Representative J. Hampton Moorg has been down south several times. On his last visit he encountered an old negro who had been a good guide once, when Mr. Moore weft sightseeing. The negro was a local preacher, but he was no longer working at it. "What was the trouble, uncle?" the Philadelphia congressman asked. "Wall, ah had some trouble wif le congregashun. Dey brought sins sb commission agin de ole man dat I couldn't bar, an' Ijes had to quit. Dey accused me of stealin' a ham—" "But they couldn't prove that—a thing that wasn't so." "No, sur; no, suh.

THIS MOTH DESTROYS TREES It is of the Leopard Species and is the King of Destructive. Pests. The destructive leopard moth has been in evidence for the past few years, but not until recently has the extent of its ravages been fully appreciated. It has killed thousands of trees of all kinds, Collier's Weekly says, and from present indications thousands more will be destroyed. It is difficult to control the pest because of its habits. Neither the moth nor the borer eats the leaves, so that arsenical poisons are useless. The borer, after entering the tree, remains two seasons, during which time it increases in size from a quarter of an inch to about three inches long and the size of a lead pencil. A small tree can be saved by carefully going over it and destroying the pest in its borings. This can be done with a wire or by injecting bisulphide of carbon into the holes and plugging them up. A large tree infested is doomed. The pest rivals in destructiveness the combined activities of both the gypsy and brown tail moths. HER LADY8HIP'S BREEKS. Donald dared not call his soul his own, let alone his wardrobe. His mistress supplied him with but one suit of livery—he himself had to supplement it with other garments—and he wore it only when she ordained. But there came a day when he had forgotten to take her orders, or she had forgotten to give them anent this—and there was a dinner party in prospect and the afternoon was waning. The old lady was engaged with visitors when the door opened and an agitated head was thrust in: "Is't ma ain breeks or yer ladyship's breeks I'm to pit on the nicht?" Report had it that her ladyship, without, the alteration of a muscle, decided in favor of her breeks. TRADE SECRET8. Uncle Sam has his trade secret—the ink employed in printing his banknotes. This ink is so valuable that the government would find it difficult to do any moneymaking without it, says Harper's Weekly. It is the only known variety that will "take" on the peculiar surface of the paper used in our currency—a paper, too, which is to a great extent a trade secret. When the counterfeiter undertakes to imitate Uncle Sam's money he is confronted with the task of not only imitating the paper itself—a difficult enough proposition—but also of counterfeiting this unique ink as well. NOTHING TO SAY. The conceived young woman from West Philadelphia was discussing her lovers to her rather homely friend. The latest addition to her staff of admirers was not as flattering as the others were, and it made the conceived one feel badly. "Now, George," she went on to explain, "always says I'm sweet as honey, but William never tells me—" "Perhaps," the homely one cut in, "William realizes that honey attracts bees, and where bees are one is likely to be stung!" And the conceived one said not a word—Philadelphia Times. New York Bootblack Offered Him a Year's Free Shines as Price of Liberty. A bold attempt to bribe a city magistrate and incidentally clog the wheels of justice happened recently in the Essex Market polico court. Just how Magistrate Harris was able to withstand the voice of the tempter in view of the fact that dusty weather is soon due is hard to understand. "I'll shinea da shoes for you onea whole year, eef you letta me go; judge," tempted Francisco Palmetto, who had been arrested along with some forty others of his fellow bootbootblacks on complaint of the bureau of licenses for failing to have their old licenses renewed. "You mean that you will give me free shines for a year if I let you go?" inquired Magistrate Harris. Palmetto assured the magistrate that that was exactly what he did mean and promised to come to the court every day to do the job. The magistrate, however, after informing the bootblacks that they must procure new licenses and receiving their promises to do so, discharged them all. Palmetto wanted to give the magistrate a shine before he left, but Magistrate Harris couldn't stop the session.—New York Evening Sun. NATURALLY. oliver scorer De Quiz—Windy was a barker in a circus once, wasn't he? De Whiz—Yes. De Quiz—When did he give up this line of continuous talk? De Whiz—When he married "DOPE." An amateur philologist in New York has unraveled the derivation of the principal word in the American vocabulary, "dope." "Dope" means ideas of any kind—predictions of results in sporting events, or a lawyer's argumentative material, or any intellectual method whatsoever. "Dope" is a contraction of the phrase, "Do you want 'ope'?" the last word of which is, in turn, an abbreviation of "opium." This used to be the question asked by the Chinese proprietor of the opium joints in San Francisco. "Dope" came to mean the fanoies that would come to the man dreaming under the influence of opium, and, finally, to mean any material—conjecture, argument or opinion. EXERCISE FOR CHILDREN. Exercise is absolutely necessary for children. Without it, it is impossible to keep the little ones' muscles and organs in a sound and healthy condition. Outdoor games are really the best form of exercise, as the children's interest is held while their muscles are being used, but brisk walks are good, too. But let them, also do a few simple calisthenics to strengthen the chest, as games do not provide for this. Simply stretching the arms in front and then slowly moving them from front to back and back again, and them above the head and down to the side a few times is quite enough. Teach them to breathe deeply at the same time. LONDON'S LARGE BALLROOM London is to have an immense ballroom, in which 8,000 persons will be able to dance.

As a rule, the wisest way of hand Ung a bull that Is inclined to be vI cious 1s to hand him over to the butcher, as an animal of this clas: is never safe to trust. If he be one that has proven to be an extra good sire, and it 1s deemed desirable tc keep him for service, the safest an¢ simplest means of handling him i: to blindfold him. He may be man aged by means of ropes and pulleys giving him room to move out of his stall when required, and bringing him back to his place; but it-Is 2 cumbersome method. Bllndfolding quletly takes all the concelt out of the blusterer. A broad bandage of double sacking securely fastened over his eyes, may serve the purpose ordinarily in the stable. This device may be used to good advan- tage In handling a nervous or ex- citable beast while being led to mar- ket or drawn In a wagon to be shipped on a train. I remember a case of a heifer re- ceived on tho train being so wildly excited that she would jump at a "person approaching her to untie her halter, but, by throwing a blanket over her head, and afterwards tying a sack over her eyes, she was quiet. ly unloaded and tied behind a wagon which she followed as meekly as one could desire. Mismanagement orlack of thought makes a great deal of trouble in the handiing of stock. How often do we see men chasing pigs all over the place in tho vain effort to get them into a pen, the porkers always going 4n the direction contrary to the one they desired to go; while, by bav- ing a pair of low light hurdles, hinged together, forming a V-shaped guide, the antmals can be handled quickly, and with the use of no unseemly words. Vicious bulls are generally made so by unwise treatment when young, giv- ing them too much liberty, or using them cruelly. It is well to use them kindly, but they should be trusted no more than 1s necessary, for {t some- times happens that a bull that has been quiet, suddenly and unexpectedly becomes vicious, and malms 2 man for life or gores him to death. It is the part of wisdom to handle a bull with a strong staff and a safe connec- tion with bis nosering, no matter how quiet he may be—W. H. Underwood, fo the Indlana Farmer. DRESSING AND MARKETING POULTRY. ‘The condition “ot dressed poultry when sent to the market largely de- termines the price. Frequently poul- try raisers complain of the low price they get for thelr chickens when in truth the specimens sent should have been “used for home ronsumption rather than for market. g. Poultry which makes a good show’ always meets a ready sale and brings good profits, Poultry dressed and packed in every concelyable way without regard to appearance, seldom pays the shipper for his trouble, and, as a rule, he literally has to give It away to get It off his hands. This 1s wrong. A few poor birds in a crate of good ones ruln the sale of the whole lot as first-class birds, and injure the reputation of the shipper. It, would be better to throw away the absolutely poor ones than to lower the price that may be reallzed from the sale of the good ones, ‘The dest way to kill poultry ts that way which causes Instant death with- out disfigurement or pain. Suspend the chicken by tying the legs firm- ly to a pole or heavy wire across the killing room at a convenient distance from the floor. Open the fowl’s beak with a sharp-pointed, narrow-bladed knife, and make an incision at the back of the roof of the mouth, divid- ing the vertlbra. Another painless way of killing is to sever the velns In the neck, and leave hanging until ‘properly bled. Keep fowls without food for at least 24 hours before kitl- ing, as full crops injure the appear- ance and are very Ikely to sour— ‘American Cultivator. HORSE COLLARS SHOULD FIT.

Attention is called to the’ experi. ments made by the office of public roads, wherefn it was shown by In: stantaneous photfography that the damage to the roads was produced by the rear or traction wheels of mo- tor cars, and partloularly at a speed above twenty-five miles an hour, The force with which they were propelled was suficient to cause a marked slip upon the surface of the hard road- bed, such as {a often seen In an exag- erated manner on a frozen surface. The question $s raised, Mr. Rich- ardson, states, as to thé policy of con- ‘structing so large an extent of maca- dam roads as has been done in the last few years, and as {s proposed for ‘the future, without considering @ sur- face of bitumen, which, he says, at a reasonable additional cost, may avold the existing conditians. Several authoritles are quoted as ta cost of repairs of macadam roads under present conditions. A road near Lynn, in Massachusetts, of al- most perfect maacdam construction, exposed to wind, sun and high-speed automobiles, had to be resurfaced after a single year’s service. W. C. Carpenter, county surveyor fn York- shire, Eng., reported at the Paris congress that the maintenance of roads In his district was $482 per mile in 1890, and $789 in J908. Mr. Hooley, holding the same postion in Nottinghamshire, states tLat the maintenance cost was formerly $250 per mile; now it fs $750, ané he ad- visep a resurfacing with bituminous macadam—Good Roads Magaz:ne. MAKING ALFALFA HAY, ‘The best alfalfa hay ts made by raking and cocking while fairly green and allowing to cure for several days In the cock, On account of the uncer tainty of the weather, however, this method 1s often found impracticable and a quicker method In which the al- falfa is dried in the sunlight must be used. It is always very important that the raking and as much of,the other handling of the crop as p8sslble be done while the alfalfa 1s sufficiently green to retain its leaves, as the leaves are by far the best part of the plant. A method of handling the crop which has given good satisfaction at the Maryland station {s to cut the al- falfa in the morning as soon as the dew {s off, allow it to remain in the swath as late in the afternogM as pos- aible and yet get it raked before the evening dews fall and then put ft in tall cocks, if it looks lke rain; other wise leave {t in the winrow over night. If the next day 1s sunshiny the hay 1s scattered after the dew 1s off, allowed to dry until late afternoon and put in the barn. If the weather fs not favor- able for drying, more than two days will be required to cure the hay.

Don't advertise yourself as a spe- ciallst or an expert if you have not exhibited your stock at the poultry shows. ‘The farmer generally gives less consideration to the roosts and nests than to any other part of his poultry house. This is not right. Desiring to save labor, the roosts are nailed to the walls and the nests are so fastened as to become a part of the building itself in many cases. ‘Under such conditions tt Js impos- sible to thoroughly clean the poultry house and, rid it of vermm, for as Jong as there is a crack or crevice tn which a louse can hide there will be a rapid tngrease of the pests, as a single female lays enough eggs in a day to fyrnish the foundation for, a million In a week. ‘The perches should be bullt so that they do not touch the walls at any place, for tho red mites or lice which do the most harm do not stay on the fowls during the daytime, but come forth at night to seek thelr prey.

ANCIENT SUPERSTITION. A primitive notion existed among the Romans and other races that a bridge was an offense and injury to the iver god, as it saved people from be- ing drowned while fording or swim- ming across and robbed the deity of a certain number of victims which were ‘bis due. For many centuries in Rome propitlatory offerings of human victims were made every year to the Tiber. Men and women were drowned by be- ing bound and flung. from the wooden Sublician bridge, which, till nearly the end of the republican period, was the one and only bridge across the Tiber in Rome. : LIGHT WoRK.

If one fs unable to havé the buttons on the children’s shoes put on with patent fasteners the method adopted by one mother will save much labor In sewing on the buttons. With a atl: letto she plerces a hole through the leather, just large enough for the shank of the button to slip through; then she strings the buttons in place by running a plece of lacing through the shanks, the tag end of the lacing is then sewed firmly Into place at el- ther end, This plan followed, the but- tons will likely stay in place es long as ‘the shoes wear, ‘WASHABLE GLOVES ARE REAL BOON TO WOMEN. Washable mocha gloves will prove 2 boon to those women who always Uke to have rerfectly clean gloves, which cannot be the case when kid gloves are worn, The washable mocha comes in two colors, the regulation gray and a natu. ral yellow, which looks much like a fine chamois. . Hoth are extremely good looking gloves, having. heavy stitching on the backs In black, white and self colors. | MAKING LINGERIE TO’ ORDER. _ ‘The woman who can do dainty em- brofdery and fine heedlework bas 2 Pleasant means of livelihood at her command, This is the making of lin- gerie to order, with the perfect fit and hand workmanship of each garment a specialty.

SATURDAY.MAY 27.1911 The coming meeting of the National Negro Business League in Little Rock, Ark., might well have a significant meaning to the Negro business men of this city and act as incentive for them to get together and work in harmony and unison. There is no city in which more need is felt for organization of this sort than Savannah and the quicker our men of the business world get together and formulate some plans by which they can all work together the sooner our people will become welded into one solid mass working along all lines harmoniously and for the mutual benefit of all persons concerned. Our greatest need in Savannah is some organizations which will have for its sole aim the furthering of race pride and race enterprise. We have a wonderful opportunity here and all that is needed is that we wake up and begin working together. This is a day of cooperative work and we must follow the lead of other towns and come together remembering "to together we stand, divided we fall." Let us lay aside all petty jealousies that may exist among us and once for all resolve to put self in the back ground and work for the common good of the whole people. Last year a certain set of colored business gentlemen of Atlanta and other cities contrived the idea that a colored straight life insurance company furthered and fostered by Negroes would be an admirable thing and a good paying investment. Therefore they set to work to make soundings and after looking round carefully came to the conclusion that the time was ripe and a concern such as they would like to see established would meet with the approval of the people and be well supported. With vim, vigor and determination all parties concerned in this project, set out to arouse interest and enthusiasm. How well they wrought may be known from the fact that of the hundred thousand dollars required by the state as security sixty odd thousand were subscribed and paid in a few days prior to the expiration of the time set by the state. Forty thousand dollars more were needed before they could open their doors to the public and become a fixed institution. It was a case of "almost but not quite." This was an admirable start for the men who were behind this movement and speaks in no uncertain terms for the confidence which the public manifested in them. This same company of men are behind a similar movement this year and are working with an eye single to the successful raising of this amount of money. The Standard Life Insurance Company, we believe, will be a certainty are the expiration of the time limit rolls by for with such scrupulously honest, energetic men behind the project for a second time failure will be unknown to them. They will have this time the benefit of past experience and the people of Georgia and other states will rally to their support. Past experience is a very good guide and one which generally leads to success if we follow the proper channels and there is every reason to believe that the gentlemen who head this concern will let past endeavors be a guide to them, to profit by their failures and to continue in the methods that brought success. In the success of this project Negroes all over the country will feel proud, for it will be one of the most gigantic undertakings ever "pulled off" by our people. The Negro has shown marked ability in handling industrial insurance companies and they have prospered under his control wherever properly handled. This new enterprise is a step farther on and one which if we are able to negotiate successfully will inestimably raise us in the estimation of public opinion the country over. United efforts, coupled, with the unwavering confidence which past efforts have caused to be placed in these men, are going to carry this worthy project to a successful termination and before another year rolls by we are expecting The Standard Life to be one of our permanent institutions. In a meeting of the teachers Normal class a short while ago the question arose as to how much money was handled by the public school children, and it seemed to be the consensus of opinion that there were many who spent as much as ten cents a day while the majority would be found with hardly any less than five cents a day. This brings us to a very serious matter and that is how much money should we allow our children to spend daily. Of course there is no way of mentioning any specific sum which we should allow them but it is certainly proper and fitting that they should not be burdened with nickels and dimes thereby training them in lavisiness and wastefulness. It is necessary for children after a hard morning's work in school to partake of some nourishment and the best way for this to be supplied is by a little lunch carried from home, for in this way parents are always aware of the kind of food their children are eating. There are some parents who are unable to furnish such lunches not on account of lack of provisions but because they have not the time to fix them up. In this case the only alternative is for the child to purchase a lunch at school or go the day through without food in which event he cannot get satisfactory results from his brain on account of lack of strength. For the brain to give most satisfactory results it must be stimulated by a well nourished body. Three or four hours' work in the school room is sufficient to tax the strength of any child and at the end of this period he not only needs recreation but a stimulant in the form of food. In some cities there is a regulation placed upon the cost of lunches sold in schools, the usual price being two cents, a sum within reach of the humblest child. In these cities not only is there a set price but the lunches supplied are passed upon by the Board of Health and the lunch stands inspected daily, kept in a perfectly sanitary condition and made inviting in appearance. Under these conditions lunches bought at school are about as appetizing as those brought from home, and some times more so, and there is but very little advantage enjoyed by either method. However allowing children to handle from five to ten cents a day for lunch is a particularly bad practice and often leads to a fondness for money which when it is denied by parents some times causes them to secure it from other sources. Two or three cents a day is enough for any child to handle for lunch and when this limit is passed we are simply encouraging our children to be wasteful and careless. Parents should have a thorough knowledge of the money handle by their children and when it is suspected that they are becoming wasteful of the pennies given them they should impress upon them the necessity of learning the value of every cent placed in their possession. They should see to it that they do not allow their children to grow up squandering every cent they get but train them to be saving, economical and careful of the little amount given them while young and when they become older they will so have imbibed the spirit of economy that it will be second nature for them to put away a certain amount each month for future usefulness. The recent series of lynchings which have taken place in this state and in Florida have caused a shudder to run through the peaceful, law-abiding citizens of this section of the country. The total number of such depredations for the week far surpasses the record for a similar length of time in years and simply shows the evident manifestation on the part of the low and lawless class of white citizens to take the law into their own hands whenever they even so much as have a seeming grievance against a Negro. There was a time not far back when the unfortunate victim of a mob would be accorded the privilege of denying or affirming his guilt but even this mode of procedure is done away with now and he is strung up to a tree with his body as a target to be riddled with bullets with out any undue formality. This point is simply mentioned to show that mob violence now is not the exception and that the members of the mob do not any longer think it necessary to make the mock trial of the victim to establish his guilt but knowing as they do that their actions will be sustained to the extent that there will be no after result that they immediately proceed to make a clean and quick finish of him. Of the many atrocious crimes recorded in the annals, of mob violence it will be hard to find mention of a more deliberate and ghoulish one than that which was perpetrated last week when six Negroes were taken from jail at Lake City, Florida, and put to death and in this state on last Sunday at Swainsboro when an old hoary head Negro was riddled with bullets for wounding a marshal who had gone to arrest him. These are but two of the many instances which have come to light recently where Negroes have been made to feel the effects of mob violence. There seems to be a regular wave of mob violence going the rounds of the south and 'tis more the rule than exception now to pick up a daily paper without reading of the death of some unfortunate black man from this source. There used to be a time when this sort of punishment was simply meted out for the "unpardonable crime" but now upon the mere pretext the black man is delivered to the mob and put to death. As a consequence of this series of lynchings hundreds of Negroes have been leaving the rural districts in fear of their lives and this exodus will continue until the state authorities make some disposition to put an end to unjust treatment of Negroes. With a rigid enforcement of the laws and by the proper protection guaranteed every prisoner by the law these instances of mob violence will be diminished. Protection is a thing demanded by all citizens whether white or black and whenever this is denied the only thing to be done is to depart to those sections where it is assured. The Negro is by no means a coward but he loves his life as dearly as any other race of mankind and when he finds that the doors of protection are entirely closed to him in the rural districts it him seek safety where ever it may be found. We hate to see the Negro leave the rural districts on account of the wonderful opportunities in the soil but whenever we learn of such dastardly deeds as have been committed against our people here of late then we urge them to leave the country districts where their lives are in peril and hunt for safety. Colored: Physicians, Pharmacists and Dentists Convention in Athens Last Week Great Success Great Success. In the history of the Georgia Medical Association of Colored Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists there has been nothing to equal the eighteenth session just held at Athes, Ga., in point of enthusiasm, interest and history making. Florida, Alabama, South Carolina and Tennessee were represented in the persons of Dr. Hills, Brown, Sexton, Roman, and Wilson. Georgia having the oldest and most representative organization of medicine did herself well in creating a triumverate between Florida, Alabama and herself which will meet semi-annually from state to state. The white physicians of Athens gave liberal attendance and evidently were pleased with the meeting judging from their participation. Dr. I. M. Goss, member of Commission of Medical College Inspectors Dr. Jaudon, health officer of Athens, read very able papers before the convention which were thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated. Dr. Hills' paper, a report on a case of surgical treatment of septic peritonitis was a master piece and showed every mark of being "chipped from the wood." Dr. Wilson's paper on Parathyroidotomy was a new departure in surgery. His was an able treatise on this subject which well might be coming from a ripened scholar and surgeon. Dr. Harris of Athens was elected president of the Medical Dept. Dr. Carey of Macon, vice president. Dr. Phil G. Lee of Milledgeville, Ga., president of the Pharmaceutical Dept. and Dr. Pughsley of Americus, president of the Dental Dept. Dr. Slater of Atlanta, secretary; and Dr. Stoney of Augusta, treasurer. The lady professions in medicine, dentistry and pharmacy acquired themselves becoming. Dr. B. S. Thompson, M. D., in an address on the Treatment of Clerusiosis; Dr. I. M. Hiram, in an address on the History of Dentistry, and Dr. Glivia S. Batey, on the Possibilities of Women Pharmacists were all excellent, the latter two were so pleasing that it was voted that they should be published in full in the minutes of the association. Several interesting cases of pallagra, dental monstrosities and affections of the eye, nose and throat were exhibited in the clinics. The president, Dr. J. Walter Williams of this city was warmly congratulated from every source for the successful termination of a meeting so abundant with interest and new features. During his term of office the association has met with unparalleled success. The recommendations in the president's annual address were so heartily received that they were accepted in toto and were ordered recorded in the minutes of the Georgia Medical Association and in the Journal of the National Medical Association. The next session of the association will convene the third Wednesday in May 1912, at Macon, Ga. The Tri State Association meets in its first session at Jacksonville, Feb. 21, 1912 with Dr. J. Seth Hill of Jacksonville, Fla., president; Dr. Loring B. Palmer, Atlanta, Secretary; and Dr. A. M. Brown, of Birmingham, Ala., treasurer; officers of the temporary organization. The work done by the members of the organization showed marked improvement and great care in the preparation and presentation of the various subjects. It is well worth the sacrifice of time for the members of the profession in the state to attend these annual meetings. Closing Exercises Beach Institute great success. On last Wednesday evening the Beach Institute held its closing exer- cises at the Second Baptist Church amid an overwhelming crowd of friends and admirers. The program was well carried out and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. It was one of the most enjoyable commencement exercises held by this institution and standing room was at a premium. The newly decorated structure in which the exercises were held and the select crowd in attendance added greatly to the enthusiasm of the evening. The principal address of the night was delivered by Mr. Geo S. Williams who made one of the most inspiring and thoughtful addresses heard in many an evening. His discourse was well chosen, pointed and masterly presented. This exercise closed one of the most successful terms of this institution irrespective of the fact that there have occurred during the year circumstances which cast a dampening atmosphere over the school. The friends of the institution feel proud of the work this school has done and wish for her many more years of glowing success. The Baccalaureate sermon Sunday by Rev. Reid was excellent and far beyond the ordinary. National Business League National Business League The National Negro Business League will hold its twelfth annual meeting at Little Rock, Ark. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 16th-18th, 1911. Great interest is being manifested in this meeting all over the country and it is expected that there will be a great gathering in Little Rock on this occasion. The Governor of Arkansas is manifesting great interest in the affair and has expressed his willingness to do all in his power to make the meeting a success. The railroads have consented to make an attractive rate for the meeting and it is hoped that a large number of delegates from this section of the country will find it convenient to make the trip. These meetings are a source of great inspiration to our business interests all over the country and are doing no small degree of good in pointing out the road to success to our young men who venture out into the commercial world. 2 IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE.

NEGRO TRAINING SCHOOL PLANS SUMMER CHAUTAUQUA Durham, N. C.—Special.—That the southern white man is greatly interested in negro education is evidenced in the activities of Judge Peter O. Pritchard of the United States circuit court and ex-Governor Glenn of North Carolina, who on a recent tour in the north made a strong plea for the uplift of the negro, for the National Religious Training school, this city, Judge Prifchard is now on a northern tour and is making the tour for this institution without any charge to the school. He is chairman of the advisory committee of the school. Never before in the history of the race has a school with the various departments which is giving this institution such a wide scope of training, become in such a short time the cynapse of the noted educators and philanthropists, as the National Religious Training school. The summer school and chautauqua, which will be held from July 5 to August 13, will be the greatest event of the year among the race. Both races will furnish some of the most prominent lecturers in the country, among them being Prof. Kelly G. Miller, Rev. Dr. D. Webster Davis, Rev. W. N. DeBerry, Rev.' E. H. Hunter, LL. M., Bishop George W. Clinton, D. D., Dr. James B. Dudley, Hon. John C. Dancy, Maj. R. R. Morton, Dr. W. Y. Chapman, one of the greatest white preachers in the country; Hon J. Y. Joyner, superintendent of public instruction of North Carolina; Prof. M. C. S. Noble, University of North Carolina; Miss Josephine Pinoy, Normal, Ala. The faculty is composed of specialists from the best institutions of learning in the country for the race. Prof. Kelly Miller will lecture on mathematics and several other subjects. The standard of the school will cope with a number of higher educational institutions of the white race, and will reveal a great awakening on the part of the race for the kind of training which helps the race in reaching the highest plane of usefulness. By the school being on the plan of Winona Lake and other well known Bible schools, affording unusual training and inspiration for country pastors and ministers, a large number of them will attend the summer school and chautauqua this summer. In an interview with a representative of the press, Dr. James E. Shepard, the founder and president of the school, when queried about the department preparing workers for settlement work and the basic principles of the school, in part, exclaimed: "The underlying principle of the work of this school is that character is the basis of good citizenship. That if a man's religion be sound and based on the right ideas instilled into him he will be industrious, and of his own accord do what is right and just. This school trains the leaders and the leaders go among the people to teach them. Every city should have three or more women in an organized society or club to help along this cause; to take charge of matters, interest and promotion, should we send a lecturer to that town."

Wife—Please match this piece of silk for me before you come home. Husband—At the counter where the sweet little blonde works?

"You could make my future brighter," he said, looking at her longingly. "I could say the same," she replied, looking down. "How!" he asked eagerly. "Well, an engagement ring with a diamond in it would help some," she admitted.—Boston Herald. "IN UNION THERE IS STRENGTH" NEGROES ARE LEARNING TO SUP PRESS NARROWNESS, ENVY AND JEALOUSY, UNITING THEIR FORCES. The above quotation has been seen and heard by people so often until it carries very little meaning to many. But it is not merely an expression of this kind that can drive home the Idea contained therein—it is the actual accomplishment of something by the people who are to be so impressed which will awaken in them a realization that united action most often is irresistible. There is now pouring in upon the reading public an abundance of evidence in the shape of news from various portions of the country, pointing to the fact that the Afro-American is joyously realizing by the harmonizing of forces the actual truth contained in the expression, "In union there is strength." In the business world negroes are learning to suppress narrowness, envy and jealousy and unite their forces for larger business, less expense of operation and a stronger organization. As well in other matters are we learning to "get together." Organic union of the great negro Methodist denominations is more and more being looked upon with favor. Our most prosperous secret orders are beginning to realize that mighty forces are wrapped up in their organizations, as shown by the great Pythian temple in New Orleans and the one now being dedicated in Indianapolis, costing $40,000. The Odd Fellows of Georgia are moving systematically to raise $50,000 on a $100,000 office building in Atlanta. In the colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. the powerful giant of organization, so long asleep among our people, is beginning to feel faintly the twitching of his muscles and the stir of iron in his blood. In Chicago, by a pull altogether, they are to have a building for their work to cost $150,000. Indianapolis is preparing to try her strength in a similar effort, and Atlanta has overshot the mark to raise $40,000 in ten days, by $27,000. These deserving Atlanta people are to have a $100,000 building. Let the giant of united action among the negro people arise and come into his own. WOMAN THE VICTIM. After watching the Easter parade one is prepared to report that recent frosts did no damage to the "peach" crop—Louisville Courier-Journal. If a woman knows she's pretty, it's not because some other woman told her so.—Boston Transcript. "Woman is nearer the savage state than man," declares a Harvard professor.

Chewed to small bits by rats, a bundle of bank notes was so badly mutilated that when the bills were presented for redemption at the United States sub-treasury the officials were unable to determine their domination and had to send them to Washington, where the government experts will examine them and fix their value. Henry B. Krause, who keeps a stall in the Oxford market, presented the bills. He said he had kept them in a drawer in his desk at the market and did not know how much he had put in. He placed the bills in the drawer as a nest egg to draw upon when he needed money urgently. The other day the occasion arose and Krause went after his wad. When he opened the drawer a heap of green bits of paper-met his gaze. At first he imagined he had been robbed, but closer investigation revealed the fact that the notes had been chewed to pieces and that the rats had built a nest of them. All the bits were carefully gathered up and taken to the sub-treasury. The officials endeavored to form a whole note out of the lot. It is expected, however, that the experts at Washington will meet with greater success. Meanwhile Krause must wait for his money.—Philadelphia Record. BITS FROM BEST SELLERS. "A fame that was like ice made her temple throb." "The hound kissed the flower and thrust it in his coat lapel." "The color leaped to her cheeks like rose leaves tossed upward in a zephyr." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS As a whole, are the cities producing any more men? Not one city in the state, or the country, could clearly or justly answer this question. The majority of our young men are going daily, blindfolded, into the pits of disease and immorality in the large cities. The life of the use-to-be'young man has been changed by the modernizing of vice in a greater form with the ways of the world. The average young negro leaves the small towns for the city; he looks to nothing but enjoyment and what he calls high living, as he has already been impressed that his small home town is not in it with the ways of the large city, where fun and sport could be had continually, something new to see daily, etc. Going in with these intentions, he continues this haphazard way of living until it is too late, then he dies, most times from the dreadful white plague. These erring belongs die without ever accomplishing anything that would be creditable to the race or himself. Young men, you should look for brighter things in life; there is nothing in sporting and fast living. Many young men are occupants of untimely graves on account of these sins. Do your best to ward them off, for they mean the worst for you.—Pallistine (Tex.) Plaindealer. "There are some directions in which no colored line can be drawn. Disease draws no color line; fifth draws no color line. If a negro, by reason of his ignorance of the laws of health, carries about in his body the germs of consumption, of smallpox, or of the disease known as the hook-worm, these germs will spread from his body to that of the white people by whose side he lives. Negro women prepare and serve the food of white people. Negro women launder the clothes of the white people; negro women nurse the babies of the white people. In a word, negroes touch the white man at almost every vital point in his life." If the negro is ignorant as to the laws of health she can convey disease to the white man's family through her uncleaned hands, her unwashed body, or the most deadly germs can be taken to the house of the white man by reason of the fifth of the cabin in which the white man's clothes are laundered."—Report of part of public speech by Booker T. Washington, A recent writer, said of Henry Oasawa Tanner: "He should no longer be classed as the foremost negro painter, but rather as one of the greatest artists that America has produced." -Millwaukee Free Press. It has taken many years for men to discover that the health and welfare of the child lifes at the foundation of national greatness. A people which deliberately allows, as most peoples have always allowed, an enormous proportion of its children to die in infancy, is criminally fatuous and shortsighted. Modern science has shown that it is feasible to save many of these little lives, and by the exercise of only simple honesty and common sense. Take the matter of pure milk for example, upon which more than upon any other one detail depends the health of young children. Yet it is only lately that the proper standards have been set and laws made to secure this necessity to infant health. The cry, Save the Children, now ringing from every quarter of our land, indicates that we are waking up to our responsibilities, and none too soon.—The Christian World. Aunt Mirandy, the old colored mammy, says she could settle the divorce question with one hand tied behind her. And there is philosophy as well as fun in her solution. "In de just place, I'd stop hit befo hit begins. I'd make it so hard to git married dat only dem dat had taken de thirty-third degree, an' dat could prove dat dey had lovely dispositions, an' no parents nor near relations to visit 'em, and dat dey had a health certificate, an' a good business, an' dat dey was so near-sighted dat dey couldn't see no other man or woman but the one dat was right under delr nose, could git a license to tie up with another pusson, an' dat knot would stay tied." Firman C. Brown, Charleston, W. Va., has recently received notice of allowance of patent on his food-warmer and will now introduce an emergency service. Cooked meals can be sent out any distance from one block to two miles, hot and in a sanitary condition at destination. The warmer will take up space of an ordinary grip and can be easily carried in street car without inconvenience to passengers. Mr. Brown, the inventor, has given 20 years as head waiter in the leading hotels north and south and has observed the need of service as above named. A negro editor has a hard time trying to satisfy all the people. We are doing our best in this office to fulfill our obligations to publish the news. We should not be expected to publish advertisements free, though we are often "cussed out" because we do not. Ingratitude is a base sin—many there are who are guilty. Orangeburg (S. C.) Recorder. The Mobile Press brings us the distressing news that colored men have been turned out of a hotel in that city and white men have been put in their places. The management of the hotel, it is reported, said that it was simply a matter of getting "satisfactory help." Which implies that the colored help was not satisfactory. We wish we could share the faith of the Press and see through the eyes of it these men returning to work within a month or two. But we cannot do that. Everywhere, in the north and in the south, with particular reference to places of service, there are too many colored men being turned in the street. No cry of prejudice can justify the Mobile happening, if there is one thing a white southern cherishes more than his "superiority," it is a colored servant—call the job by any name. There is something wrong somewhere, and those who may speak with authority ought constantly to point out the danger to reputation and to the pocketbook colored people will be called upon to sustain if there is no effort to improve the situation. Instead of a newspaper like the Press half-excusing the dismissal of colored men from good positions, it should be warning them that they must become efficient workers or else get off the field of competition—New York Age. The "social equality bugbear" is the basest humbug that can be used as an attempt at argument to justify the curtailment of the negro's rights under the law. Every sane man knows that there can be no social intercourse and comradeship unless all parties to it are willing. The negro alone cannot fellowship with others. They, too, must be willing. The time has come when there need be no mistake in this matter. The more of self respect the negro has the less is he likely to intrude upon the privacy of others. A gentleman, be he white or be he black, will not go where he is not wanted. To hold up the scarecrow of race intermixture is no longer permissible, for all know that there is nothing to it. So far as the negro is concerned all he asks is to be left unmolested with an opportunity to show himself deserving of a man's chance. His ignorance demands better school provision, his poverty can be overcome by economy and thrift, his vices are the result of both of these, and their decrease will mean a better era for him.—Star of Zion. Among the vocations of men, farming is the most needed one. It stands tip-top above all, for in it is the life and subsistence of the human race. Men are becoming more independent and wealthy by farming, on a general average, than any other occupation, and we as a race need to turn our hands to this great work. On account of the increase of the dependents in the city from various sources, by posterity and those leaving the rural districts, the increase of the food producer must continue to swell, to supply their wants and needs. People are pouring, into the cities yearly, leaving their farms. This is an awkward step. You are leaving your independent homes to go and barely live in the overcrowded cities. Live on your farms, for you are looked upon by all for bread—the rich, the poor. We see the difference between "negro" and "nigger" was defined in the district court in Albilene, Tex., recently by Judge Thomas L. Blanton, presiding, when they fined Attorney Harry Tom King $5 for the use of the word "nigger." The Carter murder case was on trial and King was defending Carter and persisted in calling negroes "niggers," despite the court's warnings not to do so. The attorney said he did not know the difference, that he supposed they were interchangeable terms. Judge Blanton said the fine would be $5 whenever that term was use in his court. Jim Carter was found not guilty of the murder of Berry Cooper.—Charleston Messenger. Probably the most delighted man in the country over the successful outcome of the Lewis matter outside of Mr. Lewis himself, was Commissioner Emmett J. Scott, who stuck to his guns throughout the long struggle, and who was largely responsible for the good luck of the talented Bostonian. Mr. Scott has that all too rare habit of standing by his friends. Florida Sentinel. There are a set of negro men going through the country doing what they call grafting—stealing and swindling the people out of their money, under false pretense. We are too poor to be robbed, as we need our money for other purposes. You robbers take notice and let the people live—Palestine Plaindealer. More negroes own real estate between One Hundred and Thirty-tinted and One Hundred and Thirty-fifth streets and Fifth and Seventh avenues, in New York city, and of greater value, than in any other section of the same size any place else in the world-Charleston (S. C.) Messenger. SUGGESTIONS WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION TO NEGROES CONSIDERING BUYING PROPERTY Property buying among the colored people of Chicago has got beyond the experimental stage. The probable effect on property values wherever colored people may elect to purchase is now definitely known. They go down. Respectability, position in business or professional life or wealth have nothing to do with the case. Prices drop wherever a well meaning colored person seeks a permanent and improved abiding place in what are stamped desirable localities. This admits of no discussion. It simply is. Protests, appeals to a sense of justice, statement of constitutional and ethical rights, if you please, do not keep the bottom from falling out of values when colored members of the city's population obtain what at first blush appear to be better living conditions. We believe the time is now about ripe to seek a remedy. No one is going to deal for us. The search for the best living condition must not slacken in any measure. But why not secure them at the smallest possible cost? We believe this can be done without any loss of dignity or any severe jolt to our established attitude in the matter of segregation. A joining of hands and means will solve the problem. We are not advocating a surrender of righte, social or ethical, in this instance. But experiments in the direction of property buying have cost the colored people of Chicago a big price and therefore the Chronicle feels a suggestion on the subject will not be amiss at this time. Instead of going into neighborhoods, however desirable in the beginning, where they are not wanted, would it not be a better proposition for colored people of like means and commendable aspiration to set up communities of their own? Experiment has proven the first course almost barren of profitable result. The second course offers the advantage of sympathetic community and social relationships and thereby work out to a distinct economic gain. The common law of the land invests all Americans with the infallenable right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, including that phase of happiness that impels a man to seek a desirable place in which to dwell. But it does not oblige the other fellow to live next door to you unless he wants to. Let the worthy and respectable elements among Chicago's colored citizens join hands and solve this problem of desirable living. The experiment is worth the while. The Chronicle believes it will prove profitable and be of lasting good—Illinois Chronicle. PEARLS OF THOUGHT For ignorance to have its uses it is necessary that some one else have it. If there's anything a crooked individual does not want it is a square deal. Pride keeps lots of women warm, but it won't serve in lieu of a fur coat. The undeniable mark of a stingy man lies in his ability to keep an umbrella. If we aren't to hurt anybody's feelings remain in a state of subservient inactivity. A woman sometimes works too long at being young to be called exactly a success. There may be quantities of contentment, but they are usually minus quantities. We place the greatest value on the thing that some other fellow has, but never will tell him so. Speaking of a dull season, what is the matter with turning the scissors grinders' union loose on it? Sometimes a casual individual turns out to be of some use in the world, but mostly he is too casual. GREETINGS. American and English—How do you do. French—How do you carry yourself? Italian—How do you stand? German—How do you find yourself? Dutch—How do you fare? Swedish—How can you? Chinese—How is your stomach, or have you eaten your rice? Pollish—How do you have yourself? Russian—How do you live on? Persian—May thy shadow never be less—Children's Star. SOME SCIENCE NOTES. In Russia no photographer can practice his art without license. The tobacco monopoly of France has netted the government $3,000,000,000 in 100 years. The Pennsylvania Railroad company is one of the largest holders of real estate in the city of New York. A telegraph wire strung through the country will last about four times as long as one passing through the city. It is said that all the hatracks of the New York hotels are owned by the "Tipping Trust." THE NEGRO SHOULD BE PROUD OF HIS HISTORY That there is no inherent differences in the races of mankind, that the black race was the father of civilization and the negro should be proud both of the history of himself and the white man were among the assertions made by Dr. Henry J. Brown in an illustrated address on "The Races of Mankind, Scientifically Illustrated," before the monthly meeting of the Ministerial Alliance at Grace Presbyterian church in Boston, Mass. Doctor Brown has traveled all over the world and has given years of patient study to ethnology, psychology, phrenology and kindred subjects, and has lectured in this and other cities on subjects connected therewith. The address was illuminated by scientific charts, and contained references to such writers on the negro and ethnological subjects as Herodotus, Pritchard, Pickerling, Volney, Brace, Weber, Baron von Humboldt and Sir Harry Johnston. First Civilization Black. "Herodotus Informs us," said the speaker, "that the Ethiopians of his day were the tallest and handsomest nation in the world, and that this branch was the Hamitic, from which the primitive Egyptian emerged, proving conclusively that black primeval civilization has been the mother of modern white civilization. Prior to this we look in vain to discover the white man who was in the jungles of Europe, clothed in savaged attire in the skins of wild beasts, living in holes in the ground, and tattooing himself. The Chinese regarded his white skin as a badge of inferiority. The primitive negro has been the molding factor in this world's eventful story. "In analyzing the great story of the world's eventful history, from the very depths of its childhood up. to the present, what has this balloon-headed, swell-headed white man done of which to boast? Not only are his governments and his so-called reforms failures, but every effort of civilization under his management has been, up to this very hour, a most gigantic failure. In the past he has not only been enslaved himself by the millions, but he has, in turn, enslaved millions. He was for 2,000 years enslaved before black slavery began. His present status in war, conquest, plunder, subjugation, appropriation, massacre; the strong over the weak; the large swallowing up the small; the little trying to escape the grasping propensities of the big; injustice standing on the pedestal of violated natural law, destroying the innate sense of right. So accustomed has this so-called white man become in making his deceptive scheme agree with his perverted mind that he even invokes the Sacred Record to Indorse his' barbarous methods. And thus from the white man's so-called Christian civilization of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries we behold the unjust, humiliating spectacle of the whole continent of Africa appropriated between European nations just as cooly as robbing a neighbor of his pocketbook. "The brutality of modern Saxon civilization can be only explained on the principle that the white man seems to be abnormal in his evolution. "The black man has permitted the white man to write his history and paint it in the darkest colors, while he (the white man) writes his own in the brightest colors. We must in the future write our own history and that of the white man also. By that means we will be able to show the contrast between the two and thereby get at the truth." PEN POINTS By REV. J. M. STEADMAN. The people who say that they are too tired to go to church are usually tired of the services of the sanctuary. Envy not the religions that lives in words, but is dead in deeds. The plow of divine providence is constantly changing the position of the high and low strata of society, turning down one and turning up the other. The "Great Physician" still practices among men. God loves a living sacrifice far better than he does a dead one. Satan has never been caught napping. Talent is always buried alive. The close of each day should find our work ready for our master's inspection. Christian mottoes on the-walls do not constitute a Christian home. The human heart is the soil which the root of all evil grows. HANDY ANDY.

Resolved, That any lodge having jurisdiction of such offense whiet fails to take any action thereon may subject itself to discipline—Masonic Stendard. oe . A Missicn for Masonry. . Many have written of Masonry’: mission in the world. Each writer, as a rule, has a different view of the subject, . But one thing is certain—Masonry surely has a mission in the world. Masonry does net and should not supercede or supplant religion. Tnet, of course, must come first. But after religion, the true mission of Masonry fs to uplitf mankind and alleviate hu- man suffering. This is indeed a great mission. Ev- ery Mason should be proud to contrib- ite his part towards fulfilling this grand and holy task, Therefore, it is well to impress up on the initiate from the very begin- ning- that the ritualistic work of Ma- gonry, beautiful and inspiring as. it is, should be but the means to an end. The symobls of the degrees, the sub- lime ceremonies, the social gatherings =the feelong of brotherhood—ali these are but stepping stones to that higher and holier work—the regener- ation of humanity. Every Mason is a priest, set apart lor this great-work. Every lodge is a sgnctuary, from which shal lemanate and radiate an influence for gcod.
