Savannah Tribune

The Savannah Tribune Congress to Promptly Amend the Act. TO, PREVENT FALSE CLAIMS. Results of Discussion In Johnson Case--Manufacturers of Legitimate Proprietary Medicines Approve the Message. Washington. — Although absent from the city, President Taft directed to be sent to Congress a special message, in which he urged that at this session the Pure Food and Drug Law be so amended as to strengthen that act in vital points of weakness recently pointed out by decisions of the United States Supreme Court in the case of O. A. Johnson. The Supreme Court held in effect that if a manufacturer of a patent medicine states the true contents of his medicine, he has compiled with the law, and that he is at liberty to claim curative properties to what degree he cares. A bill was introduced in the House by Representative Sherley, of Kentucky, to carry out the recommendations of Mr. Taft's message, and the Senate is likewise favorable to amending the law. Manufacturers of legitimate proprietary medicines the country over are strongly in favor of such legislation. Purpose of the Law. The President's message follows: "To the Senate and House of Representatives: "Your attention is respectfully called to the necessity of passing at this session an amendment to the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, which will supplement existing law and prevent the shipment in interstate and foreign commerce and the manufacture and sale within the territories and the District of Columbia of worthless nostrums labeled with misstatements of fact as to their physiological action—misstatements false and misleading even in the knowledge of those who make them. "On June 30, 1906, after an agitation of 20 years, the Food and Drugs Act, passed by the Fifty-ninth Congress, received the approval of the President and became law. The purpose of the measure was twofold—first, to prevent the adulteration of foods and drugs within the jurisdiction of the federal government, and second, to prevent any false labeling of foods and drugs that will deceive the people into the belief that they are securing other than that for which they ask and which they have the right to get. Law Vigorous'y Enforced. "The law was received with general satisfaction and has been vigorously enforced. More than 2,000 cases have been prepared for criminal prosecution against the shippers of adulterated or misbranded foods and drugs, and seizures have been made of more than 700 shipments of such articles. More than two-thirds of these cases have been begun since March 4, 1909. Of the criminal cases more than 800 have terminated favorably to the government, and of the shipments seized more than 450 have been condemned and either re-labeled or destroyed. In every case in which the food seized was deleterious to health it was destroyed. A large number of cases are now pending. "The Supreme Court has held in a recent decision (United States versus O. A. Johnson, opinion May 29, 1911) that the Food and Drugs Act does not cover the knowingly false labeling of nostrums as to curative effect or physiological action, and that inquiry under this salutary statute does not by its terms extend in any case to the inefficacy of medicine to work the cures claimed for them on the labels. It follows that, without fear of punishment under the law, unscrupulous persons, knowing the medicines to have no curative or remedial value for the diseases for which they indicate them, may ship in interstate commerce medicines composed of substances possessing any slight physiological action and labeled as cures for diseases which, in the present state of science, are recognized as incurable. Public Health. "Ar evil which menaces the general health of the people strikes at the life of the nation. In my opinion the sale of dangerously adulterated drugs or the sale of drugs under knowingly false claims as to their effect in disease constitutes such an evil and warrants me in NEXTI COMBINATION UNREASONABLE INTERNAL STATE COMMERCIAL SMALL DEALER FOR DR. U. S. SPECIALIST CORPORATIONS ANTI-PAY-CUBE calling the matter to the attention of the Congress. "Fraudulent misrepresentations of the curative value of nostrums not only operate to defraud purchasers, but are a distinct menace to the public health. There are none so credulous as sufferers from disease. The need is urgent for legislation which will prevent the raising of false hopes of speedy cures of serious ailments by misstatements, of fact as to worthless mixtures on which the slick will rely while their diseases progress unchecked. The statute can be easily amended to include the evil I have described. If recommend that this be done at once as a matter of emergency." LEFT TRAIL OF BLOOD Bandit Shoots Down Five Men to Make Escape. Pocatello, Idaho.—William R. Kidd, railroad conductor, dead. Edgar McGill, ranchman, wounded. Reuben Scott, watchman, three fingers shot away. Robert Oley, constable, wounded. These are the known victims of Hugh Whitney, an outlaw. Added to the identified sufferers, there may be others whose fate has yet to be learned. It is rumored that the bandit has killed his former partner in crime, and there is an unconfirmed report from Blackfoot, Idaho, that he shot and killed a boy to secure possession of the fresh horse the lad was riding. The bandit's trail of blood extends half way across Eastern Idaho. A whole region has been terrorized by his deeds. Posses are out from every town, and the governor of the state is considering a plan for calling out a portion of the Idaho National Guard. Bloodhounds have taken-up his trail at times, but a more formidable pursuit is that begun Tuesday by a band of Blackfoot Indians, who unite with the instinct of the hounds the sagacity of the scout. Whitney is the "short man" of an attempted saloon holdup at Monida, Mont., on Friday. He shot the officer who had him in custody and fatally wounded the Oregon Short Line conductor who assisted the officer. McGill was shot because the bandit needed his horse; Scott, because he was guarding a bridge, and Oley, because he was a member of a pursuing posse. The fugitive is now believed to be somewhere between Idaho Falls and Blackfoot. A STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE Twenty-One Feet Square and Contained 500 Quarts of Berries. Massillon, Ohio.—Four hundred and forty-one square feet of strawberry short cake furnished the piece de resistance at the Sunday dinner for inmates of the Massillon State Hospital. The bakers at the institution assert the cake is the biggest one on record. It was 21 feet square, and made up of two layers, for which several hundred pounds of flour were required, and between these 500 quarts of berries, picked in the hospital gardens, were placed. Seven men were required to convey this great delicacy to the dining-room tables, where 1,800 patients disposed of it with 50 gallons of milk. Gen. Diaz In France. Havre—Gen. Diaz arrived here Tuesday. As the steamer drew near to the shore of France General Diaz, who was active and as joyous as a boy at the prospect of landing in Europe, received a representative of the press. After expressing his appreciation of the tributes paid to him by European countries, the ex-president enthusiastically exclaimed; "I cannot predict the result of the Mexican revolution." SAVANNAH, GA., SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1911. AMERICANS FLEE BEFORE MEXICANS Band of 100 Are Driven Across the Line. ODDS 5 TO 1 AGAINST THEM. Gen. Moaby's Command Stood Off 500 Mexicana for Two Hours --Finally Lay Down Arms at International Boundary. Tijuana, Lower California.—After two hours of sharp fighting against 500 Mexican troops, 100 rebels, under General Jack Mosby, laid down their arms at the international boundary line and marched across as prisoners of United States troops. Two rebels were killed and one was wounded and 50 federals were killed or wounded, it is reported. The rebels retreated three miles from Tijuana to the international line, and then gave up. With this engagement, it is believed, the revolt in Lower California is ended. Mosby and his men, all Americans, surrendered to Captain Frank A. Wilcox, Thirtieth Infantry, United States Army. The rebels slain were George Morgan and Fred Rogers. Lieutenant Barkalee was shot in the groin and captain Holland was overcome by heat. The men deposited their arms and ammunition, and the frightened rebels were cheered as they crossed the line, for the spectators of the battle were in sympathy with the losers. The rebels were taken to the camp of the American soldiers, where they will be held pending arrangements to take them to Fort Rosecrans. All but those wanted by American officers as Army deserters may be allowed their liberty. SUBMARINES' NEW RECORD Travel From Newport to Province-town Without Being Seen. Washington.—The recent run of the little submarine fleet from Newport to Gloucester, Mass., broke all records of length of submersion and distance traveled beneath the surface. All the way from Newport to Provincetown their voyage was made without detection by passing vessels, although the submarines must have passed a large number of craft navigating the crowded channels. The commanding officer reported with pride that even the newspaper reporters did not discover the fleet. One boat made a considerable run at the great depth of 60 feet, and altogether the voyage was a satisfactory demonstration of the probable value of the submarine in actual warfare. Cow'In Jail: Prisaonara Kick Akron, Ohio.—Prisoners in the Barberton Jail threatened to demolish it because a stray cow was placed in a large cell with them. They were forced to sleep in the same room with the animal. The cow was fined $2 and costs by Mayor Mitchell on a charge of disturbing the peace. Commission Government Defeated. Lansing, Mich.—The commission form of government, by a revival of the city's charter, was defeated at a special election by a vote of 2,391 to 1,214. The antis carried every pre-cinct. TO PROTECT THE VOTERS Representative Boehne Proposes to Make it a Crime to Threaten. Washington—Corporations which shut down their plants in order to influence voters or attempt to dictate legislations by such underhand methods are to be amenable to punishment hereafter. If a bill which Representative Boehne, of Indiana, has introduced in the House becomes a law. Representative Boehne would also make it a crime for any corporation to display its factory walls placards and signs "hinting" that employees shall vote such and such a ticket if they wish to retain their positions. During the debate on the Free List Bill Representative. Underwood, of Alabama, startled the House by a statement that the Steel Trust had attempted to dictate what stand he should take on tariff revision. The bill put woven wire on the free list, and just before the bill came to a vote in the House Representative Underwood received notice by telegraph that the Steel Trust had ordered the work stopped on an immense new plant in the course of construction in the Alabama representative's district. It was declared that the action of the corporation was because of Mr. Underwood's tariff views as a member and chairman of the all-powerful House Committee on Ways and Means. Representative Underwood recognized this as a direct effort to influence legislation and funga defiance in the direction of the Steel Trust and declared amid the applause of his colleagues in the House that he would not change his views. The Boehne Bill is believed to have grown out of this incident: WHITECAPSCRUELPUNISHMENT The Victim May Die or Lose the Sight of Both of His Wooster, O. — Either death or blindness in both eyes is facing Michael Heilman, of Frederickburg, as a result of brutal treatment given him Tuesday night by a band of 20 men and women disguised as white-cap. The authorities are awaiting the outcome before making arrests. Heilman was taken from his home, stripped of his clothing, lashed with a whip until his flesh was raw, and then successive coating of a carbolic acid solution, red pepper, hot tar and feathers were applied to his bruised flesh. The red pepper was also thrown into his eyes. In this condition he was ridden on a rail and finally turned loose with orders to run. For ten miles he ran as fast as he could, screaming in agony, and then fell unconscious near this city, where he was picked up and brought to a physician's office. The mobbing was brought about because of his alleged relations with a Mrs. Rebecca Volk, the mother of seven children. Hellman declared that he recognized several women in the mob and has given the names of other members of the band to the authorities. Ends Life at Ball Game Philadelphia, Pa. — Ellas Paxson Wilkinson, aged 62 years, retired business man, ended his life while watching a crowd of boys playing baseball near his home, in German-town. Drawing a revolver from his pocket, he fired a bullet through his right temple and when the astonished ball players reached him he was dead. He had been melancholy for several months, but appeared to be in good spirits when he left his home. $25 Indemnity for Lost Mail Washington. — Postmaster General Hitchcock has amended the postal regulations so as to provide a maximum of $25 indemnity to owners of lost registered mall of the third and fourth classes beginning July 1. Indemnity now is allowed only on registered first class matter, except that on international registered mail $10 is allowed on all classes. Cyclist Beheaded. Salina, Kan.—George Higgins, custodian of schools at Colby, Kan.; was beheaded when he rode a motorcycle at high speed into a barbed wire stretched across a road near Colby. Over a Billion. Washington. — Appropriations made by Congress in the third session of the Sirty-first Congress amounted to $1,026,682,882, according to a joint statement by the House and Senate appropriations committees. This was $1,218,747 less than the appropriations of the previous session. HINTS - FOR HOME DYER How Women May Color Their Own Ribbons, Laces and Trimmings at Small Cost. Many women like to dye their own ribbons, laces and trimmings. To know how to dye successfully is put- ting money into one's own purse. Frequently it is impossible to get trimmings to match a gown, but if one knows how to dye they are soon obtained. Here are a few hints to home dyers. First test the shades and you will soon learn that it takes less dye for chiffons and fine materials than it does for cotton and other thick goods. Before the materials are dipped they should first be placed in water and wrung out. If a small piece of soda is dissolved in the water in which the dye is mixed it will prevent streaks and patchiness. Different shades are made by combining two or more common colors. Salmon pink is made by adding a little cream color to pink. A rich, dark coral, so fashionable now, is made by adding brown to the pink. Turquoise is obtained when a very little pale green is added to pale blue. A beautiful golden brown results when yellow is mixed with brown. To obtain peacock green you must add a touch of pale blue to apple green, while the pretty mass green is made by adding a very little rich black to dark green. Heliotrope will come when blue is added to pink. EASY. PROF KNOWITT KNOTT TALKS YOUR FORTUNE The Palmist, (gazing thoughtfully on palm of strange gentleman) —I can see that you are a suburbanite. Suburbanite—How in the world can you tell that? The Palmist—By the corns. Suburbanite—Corns? The Palmist—Yes.. You have been using the rake so much you have corns in your palms. DIDN'T STOP THE CLOCK. At a prayer meeting where about twenty neighbors were assembled, one night, were the new minister and his wife. The neighbors were just becoming acquainted with them, as they had only been in the place a week. After the prayers were oyer, little Willie, the son and heir of the house, came in the room carrying a large nine-day-clock. He placed it upon the center stand, facing the minister's wife. "Why, dear child," she asked, "what are you doing with the clock?" "Going to try a 'speriment,' replied Willie. With a mysterious gesture he laid his finger on his lips and enjoined silence. No one stirred. Soon he clapped his hands in exultation. "She goes! She goes!" he exclaimed. "But why wouldn't it go?" asked the minister's wife. "Because papa said at the dinner table that your face would stop a nine-day clock."—P. L. Stillman, New York. AN ELOQUENT PLEA "Madam," said the mendicant at the door, "would you be disposed to cloth the naked?" "Land alive!" exclaimed the lady, somewhat shocked. "Of course I would, for decency's sake, if nothing more." "Then please be so kind as to give me one of your husband's old hats. The lid I am wearing at present is only a brim and you can see for yourself that I am quite bald." St. John's Day was generally observed by the Masons of this jurisdiction. It is being more generally observed now than ever before. This is as it should be. He is a very poor Mason who fails to assist in the observance of this important day. The lodges in this city had arranged for them a very interesting program. The sermon was delivered by Dr. D. Augustine Reid of Second Baptist Church, and he gave the brethren much Masonic fact. His address was proudly received by the brethren and they all join in thanking the doctor for the same. Interesting remarks were made by Rev. S. T. Redd, who is a favorite among the brethren. Fast Master E. B. Roberts was master of ceremonies and acted well his part. Many ladies of the Eastern Star chapters were present. hTe music on the occasion was rendered by the choir of the First Congregational Church, and it was enjoyed by all present. Sumner Lodge at Baxley enjoyed a treat by having Dr. L. A. Townsley to speak for them. They had a large gathering of Masons and many citizens with a large sprinkling of whites. Brother Townsley gave them an address that they will not soon forget. He received the plaudits of all of his hearers and especially was his address enjoyed by the white Masons who were present. Brother Townsley is loud in his praise of the breth of Baxley, the royal manner in which he was treated, their standing in the community and the very cordial relation that exists between the rates. Th edelegates to the Grand Lodge are reporting to their several lodges about the success of the recent grand communication. The brethren should begin now in order to make the coming year the best ever experienced. A larger membership should be reported, more of the old members should be reinstated and a greater love and loyalty to the order should be displayed. Like a beautiful stream rippling over the rocks and crags and pebbles of its channel, Masonry flows over every door, singing ever and anon the sweet songs of untiring love, gladdening all hearts, while along its course spring fresh and fragrant flowers of beauty, innocence and truth to adorn its life and lend a lasting perfume to its work of faith, its labor of love. L, E, Thomas, G. M., Louisiana. Never Be in a Hurry. One of the great evils existing in the city lodges today is being in a hurry to admit and "rush" candidates through the degrees. Men usually value highest those things which are not easily obtained. We should say to those who seek our privileges: "If you measure up to our standards, and if your coming among us will not disturb the harmony-already existing among our members, then in our own way, and in our own time, we will admit you to participate in our labor." This attitude of independence will give the fraternity more strength and stability than if we yielded to every request made for admission or advancement—The Masonic Sun. MADAME FLORENGE E.

You are making the sad mis- take of your lives. The least tempta- tion will Induce these youngsters to err, and you parents should see to thelr being reared and taught proper ly. I chanced to be present at & meeting where a man advocated new doctrine. Scarcely any of his hearers respected bim,,not even the children, who annoyed the advocater’s speech by hisses, insinuating remarks and all manner of foollshness. «Most of thelr parents were present, who disturbed them not, What will they do when they are grown up? This question stares every parent in the face and needs just and due constder- ation. The evils are more common in the girl and in the boy. Some of these small girls are given to the use of profane and unbecoming language, practicing evils of the most bawdy character, yet thelr parents never see this until it fs too late. Call them from the streets, stop them from “gad- ding” about—the greatest evil to girls, Always find them ready em- ployment and there will be bope of saying them, Remember, on the negro boy and girl 1s based the destiny of the race—Pa#estine Platndealer. ‘The cry “back to the farm” ts pass- ing from the dream stage to’ that of hard reality. The Jews have au or ganization with this end in view and a few weeks ago a Catholic orgaitzation was formed to promote this modern Anabasis (the march back) to the farm, When the cry was first ralsed in certain quarters It had reference solely to the black man—and we're willing to concede that it proceeded from motives for his welfare. It looks now as if the other folks are going to beat him getting back there. It's a good place—probably the best that this world affords—for any man. But ft takes more brains to stay there and make good tkan ever before. To para- phrase an old ditty, “If you ain't got no money you need'nt come round,” the farm 1s saying “if you haven't got any brains and money you needn't come round.” The negro 1s g factor on the farm—on the cotton farm especially. The white man can't be beat when it comes to raising corm —a cool weather crop, but when it comes to raising cotton, a crop that grows when old Sot is doing bis best - to remind the wicked of what to ex- pect hereafter—the black man is the only one ho can deliver the goods in paying quantities. His abandoning the farm was due largely to bis desire to get better school facilities for his children and better protection for him- self In case of trouble. He can be kept on the farm—and be contented— if the good white people in the rural districts will see that he is given a “equare deal” along these lines. The negro doesn't ask any more, and the Detter class of whites won't be con- tent to give less when they once view the question in all of its economic phases—Dallas Express, He succeded because— He wasn't brought up on a bottle. He played ball at four. He studied his teachers and bis ‘schoolmates and his teachers as well ‘as his books. At eight he sold old fron at a profit of 100 per cent. He learned to keep his mouth ebut. He never went with anybody who knew less than he did. He fell in love—and recovered in time. “He discovered that honesty is the best policy in pragtice as well as In theory. He learned bew to be licked without worrying about tt. He got himself used to the idea that he was a big thing, and carried it naturally. He controlled bis face.

Some of the negroes are Industrious, constant and thrifty. They save all they can and then go back to Jamaica or Barbadoes to in- vest their money in a bit of land and become the Vanderbilt or Astor of thelr respective communities. In the econom{e and social enviroument of thelr native Islands a hundred dollars in gold 1s as much wealth as a hun- dred thousand dollars in the United States.” Whether it ts digging a canal .or laying the materlal founda- tion for the aristocracy of the south, or what not, the negro has furnished about three-fourths of the unskilled Jabor south of Pennsylvania, east of the Misstssipp! and down to the equa- tor.

This fs the first time in 20 years a negro has not been Indicted in Milan county for elther felony or mis- demeanor by the grand jury. This speaks well for the negro population of Milam county. Commenting on this State Press, in the Dallas News, says: “There are many things that speak well for the negro population in Tex- ae and elsewhere. Considering thelr number and their inherent imitations, the negroes are remarkably free from erlme. Many—far too many—of them are lazy and !mprovident and unmor- al, but they are not Camorrists, or anarchists or incendiaries. Liquor and drugs are thelr worst enemies. The widely advertised race problem stead- ily refuses to become acute and the cft-predicted “irrepressible, conflict” seems no nearer than it was thirty years ago. The way to settle the race issue and to reduce the “conflict” to an attenuated improbability {s to for- get about them and to refuse to listen to the profess{onal alarmists who 1n- sist upon having periodical spasms ip public. It 4s gratifying to note that there will be held in London, July 26 to 29, the fizat unlyersal reces congress, made up of prominent men of all races, together with those who are in- terested in bringing about a better understanding between the races des- ignated, white ane those who are not so designated. The congress assumes that there Js a dead line drawn by the white races against all others and seeks in some way to Introduce a more rational view of things or a bet- ter understanding of the differences which are regarded by the white peo- ple as fundamental and insurmount- able. This attitude of mind on the part of the white races Js proving a serious bar to the carrying on of all agencies designed to uplift the races of the world. It {s seen that with the growing {Intelligence of the backward races a time may soon come when It will be Impossible for the white race to hold others in political and eco nomic bondage except upon a plan of forbearance and courtesy.

George Frederick Ernest Albert, prince of Wales and earl of Chester, duke of Cornwall, earl of Dublin. dake of York, ear! of Inverness and Baron Killarney, who by the death of Edward VII. becomes king of Eng- land, as Georye V., waa born at Marl- Dorough House, London, on June 3, 1865. He was the second son of the late king, his eléer brother duke of Clarence having been born in Novem- der, 1863, With his brother, the then heir apparent to the throne, he re -celved ‘his early education at Marl- borough House and at Sandringham under the tutelage of Rev. J. N. Dal- ton. Whefl he was fourteen years old with bls brother Clarence he began famous three yecrs’ tour around the world, thelr royal highnesses being regularly enrolled on the training ship Britann{a as cadets. Orders were Issued at the time that the two Princes were to recelve no special privileges and were to be treated in all respects as the other cadets on the ship, and in thelr own history of the cruise many stories are told to prove that the other cadets took full advantage of this order and subjected Clarence and George to thelr share of the pranks of boyish sailors. After two years of the cruise on the Britan- nia the two princes were transferred to the crulser Bacchante, on whicte they completed a tour of the world, sailing altogether over 45,000 miles. After the educatfonal tour was over Prince George was regularly made a Heutenant in the navy. Clar- ence then took up his studies in the University of Cambridge, but Prince George continued his career as a na- val officer, and in 1890 commanded a gunboat in the British navy, In 1892 he was made a post captain and also received the gle of the duke of York. A month before the date fixed for the marriage of the duke of Clarence he died. This made the duke of York the belr apparent, and trouble arose when the duke of York did not readily fall in-with the plan of Queen Vie- torla that he should marry Princess May of Teck, The wishes of Queen Victorla, which were shared by the then prin- cess of Wales, prevailed, and in May, 1893, his engagement to Princess Mary was announced, and thelr mer- riage took place July 6 {n the Cbspel Royal, St. James’. Princess Mary, the new queen, was born at Kensington palace May 26, 1867. Her full name was Victoria Mary. The English peo- ple generally speak of her as Prin- cess Mary. Sbe 13 her husband's cousin both on her father’s and mother’s side. Unt{l her marriage she passed the most of her life at the White Lodge, Richmond Park. Queen Victoria arranged while Princess Mary was a baby for her marriage with the duke of Clarence, and the young princess was educated as future queen of England. She devel- oped some talent as ax artist and her paintings have be-n privately ex- hibited and praised. Philanthropy was a part of ber studies and she early gained the amection of English people by her work in philanthropic Mnes. Princess May, as she was called un- tl her marriage, was the first born of H, H, the late prince and duke of Teck end H. R. H. the ‘at. Princess Mary Adelaide of Cambridge, born at Hanover {n 1833. It was this German princess cousin of ‘Queen Victoria who superintended the education of the princess. The new queen, like her busband, {8 German fn physical type. and shares with the new king a strong preference for the domestic rather than the public life. Aside from belng pleased with his democratic career as & British sailor, the British public had taken no spe- cial interest in Prince George until the death of Clarence made him the hefr apparent, After bis marriage he of course became an object of great public Interest. Opinion even in Eng- land was much divided as to his qual- itles of mind. There were those who described bim as a rather dull little person, who gave his preceptors much trouble in their efforts to train him for his new and strange duties, ge ce oe cial interest in Prince George until the death of Clarence made him the hefr apparent.

There were those who described bim aa a rather dull little person, who gave his preceptors much trouble in their efforts to train him for his new and strange duties, which became numerous when bis fa- ther succeeded to the throne. He was created prince of Wales about nine months after his f<ther’s accession to the throne and it was necessary for bim to relieve his father, the king, of a grent deal of the soclal and official work In which Edward had been s0 successful.

EVE OF THE CAMERA WASHED OUT BLOOD STAINS CANNOT ESCAPE THE ULTRA VIOLET RAYS. Even before it bad been adopted exclusively, by means of special lens construction and combination, to the reception of the invisible ultra violet rays, the camera eye, owing to Its pecullar sensitiveness to this light, has played a strikingly dramatic role on various occasions. One of these occurred a few years ago in Lausanne, Switzerland. It appears that a handkerchiet formed an exhibit at a murder trial and was regarded ag a crucial bit of evidence. The closest inspection failed to reveal a stain on the im- maculately white cloth even with the ald of a powerful microscope, But it occurred to a professor of Lausanne university to photograph the hand- kerchiet, when the Image obtained clearly disclosed the presence of great splotches, or, rather, of what bad been such, showing ghostlike in the carefully washed fabric. The photo- graph proved the tugning point of the trial, and the result was conviction, Blood, as was sclentifically ex- plained at the time, happens to be one of the substances that absorb ultra violet rays, and when any of these substances have found thelr way to a receptive surface no amount of erasing or cleansing can hide its presence from the camera eye. When the latter 1s equipped to utilize only this invisible Nght the result 1s much more marked. Should the neat- ‘est erasure he made in writing done with substances specially absorbent of the rays the ultra viotet photo- graph would show fhe traces of the erasure as plainly as the writing 1 self—New York Tribune.

ISAIAH'S PROPHECY CONCERNING SENNACHERIB—ISA 37:1438, GOLDEN TEXT—God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in ‘trouble.—Paa, 46:1, THE LESSON EXPLAINED. Verses 21.29: The defiance of faith. Isatah lone was calm and collected in this severe crisis, He was equal to the emergency, and advised the king with the Insight and understanding of a statesman, Hezekiah saw thet dis one hope was in Jehovah, to whom he made ardent supplication. The ans- ‘wer to his prayer came through the ‘prophet, whose message was a taunt- ‘song, expressing contempt for the ‘proud professions ct Assyria. Sen- nacherib was counting without his host. Flushed with victory, he was lacking in moral discrimination and failed to recognize that thero was a power mightier than his own. It fa unfortunate that this poem Is not printed as such In efther of our ver- sions. It is full of animation, and the figures of speech make vivid this quick utterance. Whom hast thou re- proached and _blasphemed?—The boastful language of the Assyrian was seally a blasphemy uttered against Jehovah, Exalted thy voice—This is a reference to the proud and patron- izing speeches of Rabsbakeh (chap. 36:4-22). By the multitude of my charlots—The words that are put into the mouth of Sennacherib by Isaiah in these verses are strikingly paral- leled in the annals of this king. Here are a few sentences: “I erected fort!- fications against him, and those com- ing forth fiom the gates of his city I turned back. His cities which I had plundered I cut off from bis domain. + + + The terror of the glory of my lordship overwhelmed Hezekiah him- self.” The sides of Lebanon—“the {nermost parts” (Revision) penetrat- Ing into the mountain fastnesses, The height of his border—“its farthest height” or “bis farthest lodging place” (2 Kings 19:23). The forest of his Carmel—"the forest of its Truitful eld” (Revision). TSere will be no Umit to his destruction. Rivers of the besieged places—“rivers of Egypt" (Revision).

Verses 33-36: The assurance of safety. |The elevated style of poetry 1s changed to plain prose in this section. It is a clear prediction that the As- syrian king will not enter Jerusalem to destroy it. He shall not come Into this city—"The hearth of God,” Ariel (Isa, 29:1), shall be under divine pro- tection, Hé will return as he came, leaving behind only empty threats. For I will defend this city to save it —The future of pure religion was in- volved in the security of Jerusalem; and no power, human or otherwisé, will ever be allowed to imperil the spiritual destinies of the human race. For mine own sake—The honor of Je- hovah himself was involved, as well ag the traditions and promises of the past, expressed In the words for my servant David's sake. The destruction of Sennacherib's army was due to a providential interposftion, The Assyri- ans were encamped at Pelusium in ‘Egypt In readiness for an Invasion of ‘Egypt. This was mereby land and yery® pestilential A deadly plague ‘broke out over might and worked dead- ly destruction in the camp of the As: syrians, so that many thousands of lives were lost, and Sennacherlb was compelled to beat a hasty retreat. The angel of the Lord—The angels are the ministering spirits of God engaged in the servite of judgment and mercy (Heb. 1:14). The plague is regarded as sent by God, who in Hebrew thought, was the source of good and evil (2 Sam. 24:16). Sennacherlb was killed by his ons about twenty years later, but he never again invaded Pal estine. NEGRO SOLDIERS SAVED THE DAY.

Donot give your silyer a bright polish, for the vogue now {s to have antique silver for the tollet table as well as for the dining table. ‘You will have to do the polishing cleverly if you do not want {t to as. sume the brightness of newly-manu- factured silver, so you must know how to remove the discoloration with- out too much brilliancy appearing. Do you know that a bath in soapy water that 4s bofling hot is quite as effective as polish If a Ittle am. monla Is added to the water? ; After wasbing it should be rinsed in clear, hot water and you will find that all spots have vanished. Too ‘high a polisk will not appear If wiped with coarse dry towels as each plece emerges from the bath. You should makp it a point never to leave a lot of silver to dry by draining, for some of the pieces will partly dry and the water collect on other sections, thus losing the clean look that is supposed to be supplied by the washing and quick drying necessary. If dilver which {s in constant usc is washed Im this way it will’ nol need polishing more than once 4 month at the most, and then the pol. ishing should be done discreetly, sc that the new appearance {s not given to It In homes where gas 1s used as ar illuminant the silver discolors soon, though {f mantles are used on the Jets it reduces this to some extent. PLUMAGE IN MEN'S HATS. Now that men are going to wear bits of plumage In the bands of thelr hats—a revival of a bygone style when the peacock’s feather was“popt: lar with the eye—it might be. well for the legislatures of the various ‘state’ to regulate the number of peacock feathers that a man may wear In his hatband so as to protect the peacock from becoming extinct, especially in foreign lands where It 1s most prolific. ‘What {s sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander in bird plumage legislation, Should anyone attempt to legislate on what a man ‘should wear, the probability {s that ‘our lawmakers would show the white feather and pair off, abstain from voting, or absent themselves from leg- fslative halls. Men have votes, and politicians cannot afford to lose votes by attempting to dictate to voters as to what they shall wear. “Walt till we get the franchise and we'll show you what we'll do with the politicians who now dictate to us about what wo shall wear on our hats or the size of the hat we shall wear,” sald a millinery apprentice recently.

CRUSHING A RATION THE CAMBRAY LEAGUE AND THE FALL OF THE VENETIAN RE- - PUBLIC. ‘The League of Cambray was the po- litical combination of continental Eu- rope in 1508 against the Venetian re- public, which tore from the “Queen of the Adriatic” her resplendent crown and forced to her Nps the cup ot deepest humtiation. Back of the league and causing its formation were Jealousy, ambition and the desire of crippling the proud peo- ple, whose history was the wonder and envy of the world. Too powerful to be overthrown by any single power, It was resolved that Venice should be crushed by the combined forces of all Europe. During the terrible days of Attilla, about A. D. 453, Venice was founded out among the lagoons of the Adriatic where, it was felt, safety would be found from the ravages of the Hun. The bistory of the thousand years from the foundation of the clty to the year 1508 reads Hke magic. Rising trom the waves, Venice became the wonder of the world. Her navy cut the waters of every known sea. Her merchants were the’ greatest on earth. Her bank was tho financial center of the world. Her palaces, which seemed to be floating upon the blue waters of the Adriatic, were the envy of the kings and queens of the continent, Wealth, fashion, splendor —their abode was Venice. And so for more than ten centuries did Venice remain the glory of the world, the center of wealth, opulence and power, the home of culture and Intelligence, the hearthstone about which sat the finest of the intellectual graces and hospitalities, and such she might have remained but for the League of Cambray, which, with tts overwhelming forces, gave her the blow (at Agnadello in 1509) from which it was !mposstble for her to recover. mi GETTING RID OF DANDELIONS. An effective method of ridding a lawn of dandelions 1s to go over the yard and put a drop of sulphuric acid from a medicine dropper into tho heart of each dandelion plant, being careful not to touch the surround- Ing grass with It One drop will be sufficient to cause the death of the roots of a small plant, but large plants of old growth may need a sec- ond application. If a lawn is watched carefully for a season or two and the sulphurle acid applied to all new plants, you may soon rejoice in a dandelionless lawn. Use cautjon tn handling- the sulphuric acid and do not let it touch your skin. BLACKBIRD DAYS. January 30 and 31 and February 1 are famous at Constantinople, Bresela and along the Danube and the Rhine as the “blackbird days." A curious legend says that originally all species of grackes (blackbirds) were white and that they became black because during one year in the middle ages fhe three days mentioned above were so cold that all the birds in Europe took refuge {in the chimneys. At Brescia the three days are celebrated with a feast called “I giornt della merla,” or “the feast of the trans- formation of the bird.” ~ S20... poy es € .« ge ig” wl, eS SHOW RAGE'S PROGRESS FIETIETH ANNIVERSARY OF NE | [GRO'S FREEDOM WILL GE DULY | CELEBRATED — NO CENTRAL |.

C;—Growing inter est is" being manifested in the move ment’ to celebrate the fiftieth annl- vergary of the freedom of the negro. at the midwinter meeting of the exec: utixe committee of the National Ne- ‘gro.Business league at Tuskegee 1n- ‘stltiite, the orlginal plan of: the league to foster a central exposition on 8 Jarge ‘scale was deemed unwise, 1D view-of the limited time that would now-be allowed for preparing an ex- hibif#hat' should do the race justice. ‘Tho bil providing for a commission to look Into the feasibility of the big ex- Dosttion failed in congress, and even 4{ one.of the measures now pending should pass, 1913 is too near at hand to. admit of the carrying out of the idea, put forward at Louisville in Au gust, 1909, The league's suggestion {s that the third: week 1m October, 1913, be set apart as “Fiftleth Anniversary Week.” It-ta proposed that In every commun- ity the cltizens unite and arrange for a Jocat exhibition of the educational, religious, commercial and industrial progress of the race, or hold a mou- ater public meeting and through thelr strongest speakers present the bright sido of the negro’s struggles and triumphs from ignorance and pov- erty to a mastery of all the arts and scfences known to civilization. Should any money be appropriated by con- gress, the league suggests that It be divided pro rata among the states, ac- cording to the negro population. The advantage of holding a local celebra- tion in many communities fs that no largé.sums of money are required for raflroad fares, as would be true of a central exposition, and each city, town or state will be inspired by the pres- ence of an exbibit that will tell in some concrete form the story of the rise of the negro since emancipation. Dr. Booker T, Washington again urges the colored people’ everywhere to “get together” and prepare an ex- hib{t worth while, elther during the third week {n October, or in connec: tion with some fair or local expost- tion already organized, the same to be held in the fall of 1913, He 4s of the opinion that good results can be had by having notices read In all the churches, schools and fraternal meet- ings, calling attention to the desira- bility of this plan of celebrating the race's sem{-centennial anniversary. - It may be remarked In passing that Washington city will-have a mammoth celebration, to take the form of an educational and industrial exh{bit here, under the direction of the Inter- denominational Bible college, of which Prof. Jesse Lawson ts president. 1¢ 13 expected tbat President Taft will take part in the affair, and that an appro- priation from congress may be se cured, It will be in line with the sug- géstions laid down by the Natlonal Business league, and will probably be held in September 1913, opening on “Emancipation day"—the 22d of that month. . HANNIBAL'S DOWNFALL. The fate of Hannibal turned upon the result of a’ promenade. It was atfer he had crossed the Alps and en- tered Italy, with winter quarters es- tablished at Capua.

Struck by the tones of the volce, he 1s. sued an order that the singer should be brought before him. He was so greatly impressed by her charms that he at once attached her to bis house- hold, disposing of the husband by be- heading him. Retribution followed closely upon the cowardly perpetra- tlon of the outrage. The balance of the winter was devoted to pleasure, diecfpline and drills were practically abandoned, and with the advent of spring the Carthagenfan army was so demoralized by the dissipation ‘of the city that its prestige was lost, and with it came the downfall of Hanni- bal. , BELIEVED THEM TRUE STORIES.

WARMING A SERPENT. Down in Bermuda Mark Twain made a speech about snakea to a group of little girls. The speech was great. The only trouble was that the little ‘girls could not appreciate it. It flew over their-heads.

This ts no {dle asgertion, no mere bombast, but a cold—no, not a cold, pe a red-hot, burning, statistical fact. it is based on the figures just given out from Washington, showing the crop values by states for 1910, the total value of the crops produced by the farmers in each commonwealth Yast year. These show that one south- ern state—Texas—has “cut down” every body else in the class and stands head—and {s going to keep on standing head—and that every other wouthern state in the Progressive Farmer territory has also moved up tight toward head, excepting only Louisiana, which is going through the doll weevil set-back, which will Itself only produce a healthy reaction in the end. Let's take the record, one by one. ‘Texas, as we have sald, put out Ill nols, which In 2909 was first in crop values; and unless we are mistaken, Texas will be first on the roll always hereafter. South Carolina .(three cheers for our Palmetto readers!) which was twenty-first In 1909, broke all records by cutting down elght at 2 clip, and is now thirteenth In the class. * Georgia, which was tenth in crop ‘values In 1909, climbed right up to fourth place in 1910, Alabama jumped six competitive tates, and 1s now No. 14 in the list. North Carolina jumped four, and Mis: sissippi*and Arkansas each climbed three points toward head, North Caro- Mna making a gain of 18 per cent. in Values, Arkansas 11, Misstss{ppl 10. ‘And but for the boll weevil, Mis- Bissippi would have done even bet- ter! Virginia moved up two points and Tennessee one, and Florida, while still forty-second on the roll, scores ‘a gain of nine per cent. in crop values. Let's all give threo cheers for the southern farmer and get to work harder than ever. As for the man who fsn't working and {sn’t trying to farm better than ever before, the man who Isn't help- ing the south show the rest of the world what we can do, and what sort of stuff her sons are made of—well, he is a skulker and a shirker, worse than the man who ran away from bat- tle from ’61 to '65, or else he just hasn't been waked up. There are many yet to be aroused and brought into the ranks of those who are marching forward to better things. The average farmer made last year only 170 pounds of of Int cotton to the acre. He ought to do better than that, he can do better, and he must—for :the sake of the south! gv Go after the farmer who is stand- ing still; get bim to moving; take him out to the Farmers’ institute; Ioterest him In the Farmers’ union, and most important of all, get him to reading. Lend him the bulletins, lend him any Uterature you can, but in any caso, get him to reading a good farm paper as well as his local paper. ‘The south 1s marching forward, and we need every man In line—Ralelgh (N. ©.) Progressive Farmer, NO EXCUSE FOR AN UGLY FARM HOME. ‘There was a little item hid away in an obscure corner in our last issue that Is so suggestive and so timely that we cannot refrain from repub- Ushing it herewith’ in 2 more con splcuous position: 4 "The most ugly backyard may be transformed into a veritable Eden by the planting of hollyhocks, castor beana or morning glories near the fence or shed to hide Sts unsightly spaces. These grow to usefulness and beauty before the summer heat makes us long for a green apot where the jcares and weariness of tho day may ‘be forgotten. But he fs a netghbor ‘hood benefactor who makes his home ‘premises a source of envy, the gratt- fication of which insures health and happiness and beauty.” Why not read this aloud to your family at the supper table tonlght are all of you set about getting for your household the beauty and joy that 4s possible by acting upon these sug- gestions? Doesn’t a beautiful sun- shiny day make you feel better, make you feel that life i sweeter, than a raw, murky mixture of clouds and slush? And whether your home sball have the inspiring atmosphere of the sunshiny day or the dismal suggest- iveness of mud underfoot and clouds overhead, depends upon what you do or fail to do for beautifying it, Nor need the process of beautity- ing be expensive. Morning glories, hollyhocks, sunflowers, popptes, castor beans—any of the common old-fash- foned flowers may be used. There is no excuse for an ugiy home in the country—at least not in our southern country. If you can't paint your buildings, you can at least whitewash them; and the beauty of vine and shrub and blossom will glo- rity even a log cabin.—Raleigh (N. ©.) Progressive Farmer. EIGHT FACTS ABOUT CANNING 1. A farm canning outfit pays. 2. It pays because there is always a domdad for canned goods at prof- table prices. 3. It pays better because the farm- canned product {8 better than the factory-canned product and more in demand. 4. It pays because you can do the work and make the extra money at 8 time when other farm work is light. <5. It pays, anyhow, whether you wish to sell a single can to outsiders or not, simply {n providing the luxury of a varlety of frults and vegetables for your own table—every day in the year. 6. It pays all the more because meats ate high end going higher, and the Hbaral use of such canned prod- ucts would be at once a less expen- sive and more wholesome change trom the excesslye use of meat on southern farms. 7. It pays because you need not in- vest money In a more expensive equipment than you need. You can buy a canner anywhere from $3.50 to $500. & And finally, if you are to get the most out of the 1911 canning posslbil- {tles there 1s no time fo lose. Order your outfit at once, and plant liberal- ly and quickly of all crops needed for canning purpose—Ralolgh (N. ©.) Progressive Farmer. WHAT LIME DOES FOR THE SOIL.

Munson in Gleanings in Bee Culture. Ho had a yrooden platform made in sections so {t could be easily moved. This he placed on the roof. On this platform ho arranged eight hives of bees. Around the root a wire fence was fastened to upright posts, and across the roof wires were attached to the same posts, A graperine growing up the side of the house was trained over these wires, and a beautiful roof of leaves was formed, Incidentally two bushels of grapes were picked from that vine in 1910. It has been tea years since the doctor took up the bee fad, and in that time they have more than pald their expense. His largo family have had all the honey they could eat, friends and nelghbors have been supplied, and there has been some to sell at a good price. Mean- tims, the tired nerves have been cured ‘by the interesting study of bee life ‘and the manual labor Incidental to thete cara SALAD FOR THE EGGMAKERS.

SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1911 We congratulate the Negroes of Greater New York upon the recent appointment of a representative of their race to the police force of their city and we trust that more appointments will follow. About three weeks ago there appeared in our midst representatives of one of the largest and wealthiest Negro business concerns in America. They were on a tour of inspection looking for new territory and we are delighted to state that they have found Savannah to their liking and are already open for business. The company to which we have reference is the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association with headquarters in Durham, N.C., the largest Negro Insurance Company in the world. We feel ourselves fortunate that the representatives of this well established company should have decided favorably on Savannah and we do not exercise any hesitancy in calling the attention of the people to this company which carries every kind of policy known to the insurance world. We wish this new company in Savannah much success and trust that are many years roll by the home office of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association will not have reason to regret establishing business in Savannah. Scarcely had we recovered from the effects of the series of lynchings that took place in Georgia some weeks ago when on last Tuesday in Walton County two Negroes were put to death by one of those notorious mobs of Georgia citizens. Neither one of the Negroes who were murdered this time had been found guilty by law but the first of them, Tom Allen, who was accused of attack-idg a white woman was being taken back from Atlanta where he was in safe keeping to Monroe for trial and was dragged off the train at Social Circle, Ga., and shot to death while the other Negro who was in jail for acting suspiciously around a white man's house was taken from jail by this same mob later in the day and put to death. Feeling was at a very high pitch against Allen and on account of this his attorney had asked for a change of venue but this was denied and he was being taken back for trial when apprehended by the mob. The state authorities had all been informed of the grave dangers of allowing the prisoner to be taken back to Monroe without the protection of a heavily armed guard. The lawless element of Monroe had been open in proclaiming to the citizens of the state at large that Allen would be lynched and yet in the face of these threatening conditions it was not seen fit to throw around the prisoner any more protection than the usual sheriff and his two deputies. As a con sequence Allen was shot to death by the mob and Watts who was simply under an imaginary charge was visited by a similar fate. And now the whole state is aroused and seemingly anxious to place the responsibility of this double lynching on the person who is to blame for refusing to ask for troops. Will the investigation result in a true finding against any of the officials is a question which only time can answer. This dual lynching is but one of the many such persecutions which, our people are forced to undergo and it demonstrates the value which the state authorities place upon a Negro's life. Would there have been a possible chance for that lynching if Allen had been a white man! In that case the wole state militia of Georgia and the surrounding states would have been called out by the governor with the backing of every other state authority, thrown into Walton county and the question of whose duty it was to call them out would never be dreamed of. But the kind of blood which courses in one's veins makes a world of difference in the treatment accorded him in this southland and there is no getting around the fact that a Negro's life is of little consequence when estimated by the state authorities.

The church is surrounded by a beautiful garden with a large lawn and a few trees. The church is also surrounded by a beautiful churchyard with a large graveyard. The church is also surrounded by a beautiful churchyard with a large graveyard. The First (Alva) Congregational Church was organized in 1869 and held services at Beach Institute for several years where Rev. Rowe served acceptably as pastor until he fell a victim to that terrible scourge yellow fever, in 1876 His loyalty was proven by his request to be buried among the people whom he came south to serve. Rev. Rowe was succeeded by Rev. Wm. Markham who erected the little chapel on the corner of Taylor and Habersham Streets. Rev. Markham was a liberal churchman and had the faculty of drawing men to him, and through his efforts the Sunday School was never more flourishing. Superintendents of the various Sunday schools of the city used to gather for his instruction. Rev. Conklin succeeded Rev. Markham serving only a short time on account of failing health, but did a great work while among us. After Rev. Conklin came Rev. Dana Sherrill, who served for a number of years adding many to the membership. Rev. L. B. Maxwell came after Rev. Sherrill. Rev. Maxwell was the first colored pastor of this church. Under his pastorate, the church became self supporting and was enlarged in 1894 by the addition of the Habersham street front. Neyer was a pastor more loved by his own people and the community at large than was he. Rev. Maxwell was a gifted orator, a polished gentleman and probably the most magnetic character that ever filled a Savannah pulpit. Rev. J. W. Whittaker following Rev. Maxwell served the church for three years in a most acceptable manner. After his resignation the church was fortunate in securing Rev. T. B. Lillard who served until his death. Our present pastor Rev. W. L. Cash succeeded Rev. Lillard. His success may be judged by the fact the church has been freed from a two thousand dollar mortgage, a large local debt wiped out, the entire building renovated and new pews recently in with no debts remaining. tion for placing the blame for this lynching should be entered into by the state legislature and if conducted properly the guilty party can be found and should be made to suffer the full penalty of the law for refusing to give a prisoner proper protection. MRS. BARNES UNJUSTLY TREATED. Legislated Out of Office to Satisfy the Whims and Selfishness of the Booses. ness of the Bosses. St. Simons Island, Ga., June 21st. To Savannah Tribune: Please allow me a small space in your valuable paper to express my sentiments and soreness in behalf of that grand venerable lady in the person of Sister R. L. Barnes of Savannah, Ga., who has done so much for the benefit of the Household of Ruth of Georgia, and who has done more for the betterment of the women of her race than any executive committee has done for the Odd Fellows in Georgia. Now she is about to please the will of some of the present executive committee, who I believe some of you remember in Albany, Ga., about two years ago tried to defeat from being elected District Most Noble Governor but were unsuccessful and now some of the executive committee of the District Grand Lodge No. 18 of Georgia knowing that there is no one in Georgia that can beat Sister Barnes when it comes to the district election for District Most Noble Governor, because the following of ninety nine percent of her sons and daughters will not attempt to vote against her on account of her impartial ruling and fair treatment to all have endeavored to depose this worthy and highly respected officer by the passage at the fifteenth B. M. C. of the following proposition from Dawson Lodge No. 2456: "That no person holding any chief or state office in other fraternal benevolent, secret or semi-fraternal, semibenevolent or semi-secret order, organization, association, corporation society or fraternity shall be eligible to election to the office of Grand Master of Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in America or to the office of District Grand Master or to the office of District Most Noble Governor in any jurisdiction whatsoever." Sisters and brothers the above proposition introduced from Dawson Lodge and adopted at the fifteenth B. M. C., was passed only for the actual purpose of defeating Sister Barnes and displacing her from the office of District Most Noble Governor of the State of Georgia. It is a dirty shame on the man who offered the proposition only to defeat that honorable lady, Sister Barnes from the high position she has held for many years with credit to herself and the Household and the state and Dawson Lodge No. 2456 should go on record as a traitor to that venerable, high and christian lady who has striven so hard for the order. In August the gavel will be taken from her free from corruption and will be placed where we do not know and it will be a sorrowing day in the Household when Sister Barnes relinquished her office conducted so meritoriously for so many years. The reason this law has been enacted was to put Sister Barnes out of the way because she always has been honest with the funds entrusted to her care. She has acted as our servant in every capacity in her office and not as a big boss over us all. The name of the man who plotted the proposition purposely to depose Sister Barnes ought be inscribed on a light wood knot and be placed in every honorable Household throughout the order. The three grand ladies in the persons of Sister E. L. Barnes, Sister L. P. Fortune and Sister M. S. Grant, G. R. of D., Grand Court of Georgia who are in office at present are competent and thoroughly satisfactory and no changes are needed. They are intelligent, strictly honest and above all beyond the reach of any suspicious characters in the order. The only in- intelligent changes that need be made now are in the affairs of the District Grand Lodge of Georgia and the K. of P. of Georgia. The female departments on both sides are uncorruptible. Again look at the new laws passed by the last B. M. C. The whole legislation is unwise. All passed and adopted only to please the self agrandizement of the office holders. Not a single law for the benefit of the subordinate lodges. Look at the proposition from Hopewell Lodge No. 1700, Halls Hill, Va., to repeal the laws that were passed and adopted at the fourteenth B. M. C. making any District Grand Master, District Grand Secretary, District Grand Treasurer and District Director in any District Grand Lodge ineligible to being installed as a member of the Sub-committee while holding such a district office. The above law mentioned was repealed at the last B. M. C. to suit the fancies of the money seekers. The men on the executive board now in every District Grand Lodge are eligible to hold one hundred offices in the Odd Fellows circle and get pay for every one and now our women cannot hold two offices of honor to themselves and credit to the race. All the laws passed by the last B. M. C. ought to be repealed next year because they are full of corruption. Now the district executive committee receives for their salaries and expenses two thirds of all moneys collected beside the Sub-committee brog. B. J. Davis $700.00 a year for nothing; $10.00 per annum for postage; $3.50 a day for board while holding court and all actual travelling expenses and yet Sister Barnes or any one else cannot hold two separate offices.

Smith, and P. Miller. The National Grand Sire ordered J. B. Phillips not to hold a meeting of S. G. L., No. 17, of Ga., as the meeting of S. G. L., No. 17, of Georgia had already been closed and to let his people know that they are wrong. The reception committee of S. G. L., No. 17 of Georgia met National Grand Sire, C. L. Thomas on Wednesday noon and escorted him to 216 E. Waldburg street, where a reception was held in his honor On Thursday at 6:30 o'clock an automobile ride around the auto course was tendered him. Monday morning he left for Live Oak Fla. to attend the session of S. G. L., No. 22, of Florida. The delegates who were elected to attend the National Grand Lodge which will be held in New Haven, Conn. August 23, 24, and 25th are Messrs L. W. Beasley, R. W. G. C., E. L. Martin, R. W. G. V.

D, RESIDENT PHYSICIAN, TUSKE- OFGhe NATIONAL Meal. | Lack of both funds and time hav caused me to conflne my investiga tlon to letters, and to a Mmite ‘amount of work in my Immediat community. Some 500 circular let tere have been dispatched to phy siclans and health boards, both fr this country and to some exten! abroad. Very fow of these clrcu Jar letters have attracted any atten (Mon whatever from those to whom ‘they were sent. A number of per sonal letters have also been written, but they have met with very littl ‘better reception than the circulars 'From altogether, I have receives '13 replies as. follows: One from Sherman, Tex, which reports a population of about 75,000 in the county, 10 to 15 per cent. of whom are colored, and only one case of hookworm disease reported, that being a negro woman, who re cently moved {nto the community from Georgia, and she was affected with the disease before moving into the state. Another reply came from San Diego, Cal., in which the Informant states that there are a few cases of hookworm disease in the northern part of California. The population of the county is about 42,500. No cases of ‘hookworm. The writer has never seen a case. From Jersey City: No hookworm Present. Portsmouth, Va.; The writer states that “the disease Is said to be pres- ent,” but that he has had none in his Practice. ~ From Nashville, Tenn. the writer renorts two cases in his practice, both of whom were negro students from own Carolina and Florida, Both improved under Thymol treatment. He also saw two white cases at Doc- tor bules' clinic. He has heard of no deaths from the disease in the state. From Huntsville, Ala, the writer admits limited experience with the discase, but does not believe its prev- alence is marked among negroes In the south. Opeyika, Ala.: The writer believes the disease to be prevalent among negroes of the south. Has met with few cases in his practice, but does not pelleve the negro is sufficiently ad- ‘dicted to the disease to justify negro physicians taking any special interest jin the same. } Springfield, 0.: “No cases re- “ported.” } Decatur, Ala.: The writer, a prac- utioner of about twenty years’ experl- fence has never seen a case, and says ut is not present. ; Little Rock, Ark,: Secretary of the tArkaieas Medical society assures me ‘that he is willing to co-operate with ‘my comamittee, but at present, as his work along this line has hardly begun, he Is unable to give definite Informa- tion. ‘Mr. A. H. Milne, secretary of the Liverpool School of Tropical MedI- ‘cine, Liverpool, England, alvises that ‘there {s no hookworm disease In Liv- ‘erpool, except amongst sailors at the Royal Southern hospital, who con- tracted it elsewhere. From a circular Issued by the state Doard of health, Georgia, we get the following: “This parasite has un- questionably existed in all of the southern portions of the United States wince its first settlement by the ‘whites, and beyond doubt fs a heritage Jett us by the fortzer owners of the soll. This hookworm disease is prob- ably the most common of all the seri- ous diseases prevalent In Georgia.” 1 In 1903 Dr. E. D. Bondurant of Mo- bile, in a paper before the Alabama Medical association, reported that up to that time he had diagnosed 50 cases of hookworm disease, but men- toned no case having been found ‘among negroes by himself, He re- iported, however, one case in a nine- teen-year-cold colored, insane patent found by Lr. G. H. Searey of Mount ‘Vernon, Ala. ‘The short space of time allotted for thls part of our program will not per- mit me to go deeply Into the his- torical sketch, morphology, dlagno- ‘sis, prophylaxis and treatment of the disease. It seems to be pretty well agreed that the disease had Its orfgin in the tropics, that it was known in ‘Egypt more than ‘three thousand Years ago, and probably entered Eu- rope by way of the Mediterranean border states, extending 2s far north ‘as Belgium. Doctor Bondurant of Mfo- bile, Ala,, claims that prior to 1893 no authentle American case had been re- jported, and up to 1901 less than forty ‘cases had been placed on record. It ‘economic development so prevalent fn the aarth. Sate hab occen My studies and tnyestigatfons which of necessity, have been very meager, have led me to tho following tentative conclustois: First, that the hookworm disease {s a reality; that it is widely distributed and more prev alent In warm climates; that no race {of people fs immune; that immunity is more of 2 sanitary and climatic consideration than any racial. o1 hereditary predisposition; that the ne groes suffer from the disease, but they are no more susceptible than other races; per contra, if there is any dif. ference, it is In the negroes’ favor. I find no evidence to the effect that the negro is a hookworm carrier. One hundred and twelve examinations of subjects from many southern states, and some of those suspected, showing worms positive in only two, Js certainly against the theory. (Dr, M. Af. Waldron, resident pby- siclan of Hampton Institute, Virginia, advises that Doctor Stiles spent a great portion of a day at Hampton in- stitute examining specimens from many of the students, without finding a single case.) That the disease Is spread by un- sanitary practices, of which soll pol- Tution tg the most important; that It may be prevented by correct hy- glenic habits, wearing of shoes es- peclally in wet wecther in infected districts, being of great Importance; that the disease is curable, and Thy- mol Is the remedy generally accepted, Dr, W. T. Foreman of Newport News, Va. sald: “Mr. Chairmen, the hookworm disease 1s a subject in which I am very much interested. Of course there are many different be- liets i reference to the hookworm. There were three cases reported in my town this year; one colored and two white. The “colored was a man about forty-five years of age. He came to me for treatment about three years ago. After making an examination, I treated him for chronic indigestion. After doctoring him for a long while, he left me and went to another phy- sician. After doctoring with him for ['several montha he went to another physician, He advised that he go to Johns Hopkins hospital. I went to hear the lecture of Doctor Stiles on hookworm disease. This fellow came back to me and I was thoroughly con- vinced that he had hookworm disease. He was a man that never Mked to work. I began treating him. Gave him 10 to 15 grains of quinine. Got no results. Then I used 60 grains of Thy- moi. Immediately after that, he passed these worms. That has been about ten months ago. He has not lost a day's work since. He 1s one of the most industrious men in the place.” Dr. J. W. Walker of Asheville, N. ©, sald: “I enjoyed very much the Teport of the commission on hook- worm and I have no doubt in my mind that this disease exists. I think it ts not 0 much the existence of this dls- ease which Is especially Interesting to us, but whether or not the negro is the disseminator of the disease as is claimed by Doctor Stiles, But all these worms examined by Stiles were from white patients. I had the oppor- tunity of seeing them at a sanitarum In Asheville, N. C., nnd had the pleas jure of talking to one of the doctors, ‘who was a member of the commission on pellagra and hookworm. He sald that the commissfon has found the’ natural habitat of the hookworm In’ some parts of Africa and that they! supposed that the disease did not have the same effect on the negro be cause of his centuries of contact. It! 1s a strange thing to me if the negro fs to be accredited with scattering, this disease, why there !s not more’ effective work done by the white peo- ple in the south when there are 0 many negroes who work in thelr homes. And it seems strange to me ifi we are responsible for the spread of} that disease, why we have not at least, one member on that commission.” Dr, H. P. Cobbs of Gordonsville; Va, sald: “I commend Doctor Kent ney for his report. We have been} searching diligently for the hookworm) for the last 12 months and as yet bar been unable to find it in the white o1 among the colored. The report of Doc} tor Kenney shows research and effort! put forth to Investigate these diseasea| which are claimed to be disseminated; by the negroes.” Dr. G. W. Haymen of Little Rock, Ark, sald: “We are in the minority; on one disease at least. It is an es tablished fact today that the majority! of physicians think that there is such; a worm as hookworm and {t has been} brought out here today that Thymol! Were Sat nea tie teen ont ronan arte eres ye ti put forth to Investigate these diseases which are claimed to be disseminated; by the negroes.” Dr. G. W. Haymen of Little Rock, Ark, sald: “We are in the minority on one disease at least. It is an es: tablished fact today that the majority of physiclans think that there {s such a worm as hookworm and it has been Drought out here today that Thymol is the cure for the disease.

A MATTER FOR EACH STATE DELEGATION FROM NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE HEARD BY PRESIDENT Washington.—A committee called upon President Taft and presented to him a remonstrance against lynching. The remonstrance was formulated by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The remonstrance was read by Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia. Accompanying Doctor Sinclair were; Dr. Marcus Wheatland of Newport, R. L. Hon. Archibald H. Grimke of Boston, also Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Mrs. Carrie A. Clifford, Rev. J. Milton Waldron, Mr. Wm. H. Harris, Mr. L. M. Hershaw, Rev. R. K. Harris, and Rev. Geo. W. Foster. Senator Curtis of Kansas accompanied the committee and introduced them to the president. The president in his response said that, while he would mention the matter of lynching in his regular message to congress, denouncing it as vigorously as he could, yet he could not comply with the request to send a special message to congress on the matter, inasmuch as it was a matter not for federal regulation. He said, however, that the committee did right in bringing the matter to his attention and thus to the attention of the country. The president heard them patiently, but replied that punishment for violence of this kind lay with the states where the crimes were committed and that while they had his sympathy in their desire to see the law enforced, their petitions should be addressed to the state governments. President Taft told the negroes that he would not recommend that congress make lynching cases triable in federal instead of state courts. THE NEW NEGRO OVERTURE THAT WAS GIVEN IN BOSTON A "COMEDY OVERTURE IN NEGRO THEMES" PLAYED FOR FIRST TIME—H: F. GILBERT, THE COMPOSER, A BELIEVER IN AMERICAN FOLK-TUNES. Boston, Mass.—At the symphony concerts Mr. H. F. Gilbert's "Comedy Overture in Negro Themes" was played for the first time in Boston. It put upon the programs the name of an American composer hitherto unplaced there, who has long lived and worked in and around Boston, keeping his faith in American folk-tunes—negro, Indian or of popular balladry—as the source out of which an American music could be written in American moods and to the representative stirring of American spirits. This particular overture he designed for an operetta drawn from Joel Chandler Harris' stories of "Uncle Remus." For various reasons the composition of the operetta was abandoned, and Mr. Gilbert reshaped the overture into its present form in which it has been played already in New York and Pittsburg. He describes it as follows: "The overture is not at all in the accepted form. The thematic material I have taken from various collections of negro folk-lore' lifting' a motive here and there. My 'lifting' has not been very extensive, however. The negro themes which I have employed amount altogether to but twenty measures. The whole overture is developed from this material thee is developed from this material "The piece opens with a light and humorous movement. The theme was manufactured from two-four measure motives which I found in that-interesting book, 'Bahama Songs and Stories,' by Charles L. Edwards. Next comes a broad and somewhat slower movement, the theme of which (eight measures in length) is a wild and mysterious sounding bit of melody. This tune and many like it were sung by the deckhands and 'roustabouts' on the Mississippi steamboats in the old days. It is the only theme which I have used in its complete form in the overture. It is to be found in "Slave Songs of the United States," by W. F. Allen and others. The original words were as follows: "For to see my mammy, Qh— Ise gwine to Alabammy, Ah— "Then comes a fugue. The theme of the fugue consists of the first four measures of the negro spiritual, 'Old Ship of Zion,' as noted by Jeannette Robinson Murphy in 'Southern Thoughts for Northern Thinker.' The fugue ends in a broad and 'quasi maestoso' statement of the theme, in augmentation. It is given out by the brass instruments and interspersed with fragments of the roustabout's song, also in augmentation. After this there is a return to the first theme and after considerable recapitulation and the development of a different ending or coda, the composition ends in an orgy of jollity and rag-time." STINSON GIVES NEGROES ADVICE STINSON GIVES NEGROES ADVICE WELL-KNOWN EDUCATOR DEPRECATES WAVE OF LAWLESSNESS. Atlanta, Ga.—Rev. Richard D. Stinson, principal of the Atlanta Normal and Industrial institute, one of the best known negro educational institutions, has written a communication deprecating lawlessness among his race and pointing out the remedy for many of the lills from which they suffer. The solution of the problem, he asserts, is education of the right sort. The card follows: Wave of Larceny. "Why is this wave of petty larceny, crime and indifference to work and the general rough conduct on the part of the loafing and ignorant class of our own people? Is it true that these conditions actually exist to the extent indicated? I answer yes and more. And I point out two or three reasons for them. Atlanta is a growing city and is being daily heralded to the world by her powerful and influential press. The negro masses are rushing from the farms and their humble, congenial country quarters into the city. They are not prepared to do the immense amount of work at good wages that is to be done in the cities. This unfortunate mass of humanity who don't know that they do not know is an easy prey to the low poolrooms, the dives, the red light districts, the near beer habit, the blind tiger and houses of shame. These persons can in no way permanently help the race in this sort of conduct in any part of the country. It is not a matter belonging wholly to the police department; they are too ignorant and degraded often to be permitted to the courthouse, as their just punishment in many respects serves as fuel for the political critic and the pessimistic race-right misfits who say it is race prejudice, race hate and a denial of the negro's rights. "While I am not unmindful that these conditions do not apply to all negroes, and while I am aware that there is a class of upright, hard-working, sober-thinking, decent members of the negro race in every community, this bad class is being augmented daily. And if not checkmated by that education that the negro, almost wholly, needs; if a more correct standard is not set up in the home, if this idle class is not permanently put to work and all of this backed up by the good, honest man of God in the pulpit, the teacher in the schoolroom and driven home by the honest press of the country and the greatest sympathy shown to those who administer the laws from the humblest to the highest courts of justice, there is no telling what the end will be. Points Out Remedy. "There is a remedy for this damaging, dangerous class of folks in the negro race. And there is a thorough remedy for this stifling ill that promises the destruction of the best in character building of the negroes themselves. The remedy lays in the standard the negro sets up for purity, honesty, a love for honest work and especially to encourage friendly relations with all the people where he lives. Immoral, whisky-dringing political leaders among negroes, who blow hot and cold to carry their point, should be suppressed at any cost. These leaders have a private and a public, a northern and a southern way of expressing themselves. I would not be misunderstood, but the negro's real and safest leader is the man and woman of character and education who have always lived and striven to upbuild this child race in the southern states. I would recommend that the school would point out to its youth the real value of being employed each day of the week the year round. No institution among negroes today can impress this fact more strongly than the unselfish teacher in the practical schoolhouse. This instruction has almost everything to do with the negro being upright, conscientious and decent and it is next to the impossible for him to be useful without this training. CANTON COLORED SCHOOL CLOSES SUCCESSFUL TERM CANTON COLORED SCHOOL CLOSES SUCCESSFUL TERM R. D. STINSON SPEAKS TO LARGE AUDIENCE IN THE NORTH GEORGIA TOWN. Canton, Ga.-The negro public school closed with appropriate and practical exercises in the town theater. The board of education, F. W. Blackwell, L. A. McClure, Olin Fincher, G. B. Johnson and Doctor Coker, secured the quarters for the teacher and students, and these gentlemen were present in a body. There were also 112 white men, women and children present. The negroes were out in large numbers, as the exercises had been widely advertised and it had been spread abroad that one of the negro leaders of the state would deliver the address of the evening. When the school program was over the teacher introduced Rev. Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta, who thanked the board of education for what they were doing to aid the negro along educational lines. He said the large concourse of white people present was positive proof of the good relations existing in every community of the south between the races. SUNDAY-SCHOOL TAKES MERIDIAN Forward Sunday-School Movement Draws People from All Quarters. GREAT ARMY OF WORKERS EVERY PHASE OF TEACHING AND CONDUCTING A SUNDAY SCHOOL TO BE DISCUSSED—METROPOLIS OF MISSISSIPPIALIVE WITH THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTIANITY—LARGEST ATTENDANCE EVER WTNESSED AT SUCH A MEETING AMONG NEGROES. Meridian, Miss.—Several thousand Sunday school workers crowded in the auditorium of the Baptist seminary to take part in the opening of the Sunday School congress of the Baptist National convention, which held its sixth annual session here. When Dr. C. H. Clark, D. D., chairman, of Nashville, Tenn., called the congress to order, a chorus of 100 voices, selected from all the churches of the city, under the direction of Dr. N. H. Pius, sang "Hall the Baptist Congress," and thousands of voices enthusiastically joined in the song. A song and prayer service followed, lasting thirty minutes. Dr. Clark made a short address, outlining the work, and introduced Secretary Henry Allen Boyd of the congress, the young man who had labored hard for the success of the meeting. Mr. Boyd commended the committee that had arranged for the entertainment of the congress and visitors. He referred to the rapid growth of the organization in the past four years, declaring that it was a factor in the development of the youth of the race. The entire time of the meeting was spent in discussing plans and methods for the advancement of Sunday school work in the several departments. In keeping with this object, a host of representatives delved into the discussions and reading of papers on Sunday school work, and the proceedings will make the most complete Sunday school book that the world has ever known. Experts in the Sunday school work whose reputations are not confined to this country assisted in shaping the future of the Negro Baptists, who have planned successfully and are rapidly erecting a splendid religious and intellectual monument for their young people. The local committee rendered a program at the opening that was entertaining in every way. The night service on the first day was splendid. Among the distinguished visitors was the governor of the state of Mississippi, Hon. E. H. Noel, who has gained much distinction as a Sunday school worker and enthusiast. His words of admonition to the Negro Baptist Sunday school forces of the United States were received with prolonged applause. DEPARTMENTAL MEETINGS The following departmental meetings were held at the various churches in the city and at the high school just across the way from the church: The cradle roll and home department, the advanced and primary teachers' department, the missionary conference, the Metoka and Galeda movement under direction of the National Baptist, Bible class, the special conference of superintendents and assistant superintendents of Sunday schools. Eighteen subjects with three special addresses made up the work of these meetings. These eighteen subjects were divided to be delivered six each day. Every possible attention was given to the music that was rendered at the congress, under the direction of Rev. N. H. Plus, the national chorister. The songs were written, compiled and printed by members of the race and were selected from a list of eighteen different song books, and placed in the musical program. This, however, did not preclude congregational singing, which was indulged in from time to time. The congress also observed National Children's day in the nature of a model Sunday school, held at the Baptist seminary. Messengers were sent from the congress to take charge of every Sunday school in the city, to conduct them in their own way. In order that the general idea of the spirit of the work among the young people might become well known, the rural Sunday school teachers and Sunday school superintendents were assigned to the city churches while the city Sunday school superintendents were sent to the smallest congregation to be found. The exchange of places was to better prepare the individual for the work before him. The principal speakers of the convention were H. M. Williams, D. D., pastor of the Avenue L Baptist church, Galveston, Tex.; E. Arlington Wilson, D. D., of Kansas City, Kas., who spoke on the Metoka or young men's Sunday school class, and Mrs. L. V. Mebane, A. M., of Sumter, S. C., on the Galeda or young woman's organized class. Among the men who have piloted the Sunday school congress so successfully for the past six years, bringing it from an insignificant gathering into one of such national prominence that it is attracting the attention of the world, are: S. H. Boyd, D. D., LLI. director of the congress, and tea man who is responsible for this movement; C. H. Clark, D. D., LL. D., chairman; J. P. Robinson, D. D., Little Rock, Ark., vice-chairman; Rev. Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville; Tenn., general secretary; R. B. Hudson, A. M., Selma, Ala., recording secretary; J. Milton Easterling, A. M. Chattanooga, Tenn., assistant recording secretary; Wm. Beckham, D. D., superintendent of missionary conferences; W. S. Eillington, A. M. D. D., blackboard critic and arbiter; N. H. Plus, D. D., superintendent of teachers' training courses and national chorister. The Sunday school paraphernalia department was under the direction of Lovell Landers, who demonstrated the use of the cradle roll, cards and other helps that are being used in the various departments of the schools. The exhibition room attracted much attention from day to day. The most helpful feature of the congress was the blackboard critic and arbiter's illustration of the subject. Out of one hundred and fifty papers programmed (each one confined to one of the eighteen subjects) the critic and arbiter drew interesting facts from the blackboard outline, thereby allowing each congress attendant to take notes for reference. The papers were limited to ten minutes in length, while the discussions were not over three minutes. Another meeting was that of the conference of editors of the Baptist newspapers, which was called by Prof. J. D. Crenshaw, the editor of the official organ of the National Baptist convention. It is the plan of these editors, according to the discusions and addresses made before the meeting, to come to some understanding as to the best way they can serve the interest of their religious works. Some of the members of this conference have been constantly in the editorial chair for more than thirty years. Special mention is made of Prof. Wm. H. Steward, Louisville, Ky., editor of the American Baptist, and Wm. J. White, D. D. Augusta, Ga., editor of the Georgia Baptist. In addition to the Sunday school congress, a meeting taking place at the same time, but not conflicting with the movement, was that of the program committee of the National Baptist convention, which was called by President E. C. Morris of Helena, Ark., and Secretary R. B. Hudson of Selma, Ala., so as to take advantage of the splendid rates given by the railroads. This committee is composed of the officials of the National Baptist convention, the chairmen and secretaries of the seven boards under this convention, with sixty-three vice-presidents. In all, about one hundred members constitute the committee. NO RACE QUESTION, SAYS REV. SYDES Baltimore, Md.—"Good, clean homes, located in a moral atmosphere, mean that no oppressive laws can accomplish the extinction of the race," was the assertion made by Rev. Marion F. Sydes, in the course of the fifty-first annual sermon to the Grand United Order of Good Hope at Waters A. M. E. church. The services were attended by about 700 members of the order, headed by Grand Master William G. Price. "There is no race problem, as we generally accept that term," he continued. The Japanese, Chinese and Russians have their internal problems. The Jews have theirs, but they are now the admitted merchants of the world. The Italian starts with his little banana stand, and later owns the corner house. We make as much money as other races placed in a similar position, but lack the frugality of some. The members of this order have a great chance to play a most important part in the uplift of the people of this community, and it is only by sticking to the fundamental virtues that this can be accomplished. We must do our duty in an economic, civic, moral and religious way if some of the things that we fondly hope for are to be actually ours." Doctor Sydes thoroughly captivated the audience by his sermon. HAITIENS NEED TUSKEGEE IDEAS PRESENT IDEAS ENTIRELY TOO IMPRACTICABLE FOR THIS VERY PRACTICAL AGE. New York.—Dr. Jean Jacques arrived in this city a few days ago from Haiti, and hopes to raise enough funds in this country to establish a school in Haiti modeled on the lines of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes. Dr. Booker T. Washington has given the project his hearty approval. Just before leaving for Philadelphia, Doctor Jacques said: "The country needs more practical education; the average Haitien alms too high and is too impractical. I am here in the interest of an educational project to be run along Tuskegee lines. The Haitiens need industrial education, and such a school would be a blessing to the republic. He will make a general tour of the country in the interest of the project. DOESN'T WANT TO LOOK PLEASANT. Photographer—Try and look pleasant, please. Short-Tempered Slitter—You get on with it. This photo is for some relatives who want to come and stay a month with me. Thou shalt not commit adultery— Exodus, 20:14. The institution of marriage has come down to us from early Biblical times. Marriage has been divinely ordained for the well-being of human society. "It is not good," the Almighty says, "that man should be alone," and he created woman to be his companion and to give him the happiness he cannot find within himself. The Bible unrolls a beautiful picture of the marriage relations—man and woman are to complement one another and the union of the two makes for the perfect state. The family, then, is to be the place where the two eternal streams meet and become one. The study of human records reveals that marriage is the starting point of civilization. The ethical conduct of conjugal life at once grows out of and leads up to an intensification and refining of the feelings rooted in man's nature, the feeling of sympathy with suffering and with joy as well of affection, of rapture over the thought of identity through fellowship. Animals, too, live and increase, but in the human sense we begin to live really when we live for one another. The home fosters altruism, to live not for self alone, but also for others. The family is the foundation of the social edifice. But for its stability and wellbeing neither the state nor society could exist. The relations called forth and fostered by the family between husband and wife, between parent and child, brother and sister, are the most sacred and most enduring in life. Without a home man is like a wanderer on the face of the earth; In the higher sense his nature remains undeveloped. The importance of parental and filial love and responsibility, in the scheme of society and for the development of humanity, resides in the fact that it is the simplest expression of the highest principle of morality, the principle of human fellowship. On family love rests the continuity of feeling, which, in turn, is the surest basis for continuity of spirit. Marrige, like the family, which springs from it, has underlying it a divine idea, and as a rule it is essential to the development of all that is best and noblest in human nature. It is true, there have been men and women who in a single life have exhibited rare beauty and strength of character, but the most of us require marriage to redeem us from selfishness and to develop self-sacrifice. The institution is, therefore, related to the supreme destiny of our race; it has a moral idea for its basis, an idea that is to be found in the special virtues and perfections which it is calculated to develop. That the sacredness of the marriage bond must receive homage in the mutual fidelity of husband and wife is self-evident. The elementary duty is enunciated in the seventh commandment, and in the words of Malachi: "Take heed to your spirit and let none deal treacherously against the wife of his youth." These divine commandments bid us to guard the chastity of marriage, the sanctity of the home, the blessedness of the household, the preservation of society, the upbuilding of mankind. Domestic peace—nay, social well-being—is founded upon reverence for the marriage vow. The sanctity of the marriage bond is the bulwark of society, alike its basis and its bond. Such being the sanctity of the marriage state, it behooves every one to enter upon it in a serious and solemn spirit. Certain conditions are essential to a happy union; where these are in part or altogether lacking marriage cannot possibly be happy. There must be, at the beginning, a good asset of physical and moral health, a kinship of souls determined by similarity of taste, a sense of mutual duties and responsibilities, an abiding sense of trust in a God who watches over the altars of his children. Marriage has always had its detractors. Men have exaggerated their shortcomings without taking into account the perennial good that comes from it. That marriages are oftimes commonplace is not the fault of the institution; it is the fault of those who enter upon it if they fail to develop, within the precincts of the home, the more ideal aspect of their lives. Some are irritated by conjugal and parental bonds which place upon their obligations that they look upon as an encroachment on their freedom. They wish to follow their caress; what they call freedom is nothing but license. It requires a certain amount of moral energy to enable one to bow to law and order, to recognize and respect institutions as essential to human well-being. Savagery has been receding since the dawn of human reason, because civilization, which is based upon a moral principle, has triumphed over barbarism that knows no moral restraint. Civilization appears the moment man rises to the recognition of another self, and that recognition is fostered in the home based upon fidelity, love and obligation. We must defend the home against whatever tends to weaken or impair its moral influence. This is not only a social and religious question, but a patriotic one as well. FITTING TRAIT. "Young Biffins' infatuation for pretty Miss Gladys is merely puppy love" "I suppose that accounts for his dog like devotion."—Baltimore American RURAL TELEPHONES An Editorial From the Belton, South Carolina, Times. There is always something being sald about good roads; there is always some movement on foot to promote the good roads of the estate, and we would not for a moment discount the value of good roads, but there are other things we ought to talk more about and devote more of our time to than we do, and one of these things is the rural telephone. Of course, good roads help, but two hundred rural telephones connected with the homes of two hundred farmers out from Belton would do more to promote the prosperity of the section of country surrounding this town, and would more closely unite the people of this section than a hundred miles of macadam road bed built out from Belton. It is a broad assertion to make and we give you the right to disagree with us until we have had a chance to prove to you that it is a fact and not merely a theory, advanced by the editor of the Belton Times; but once you see the matter in the light that we see it, and in its true light, then you will recognize the advantage of the rural telephone. Let the farmers of the state build up their farms and improve their residences, and good roads are certain to follow. The farmers will recognize the value to them of having good public highways running by their farms and they will go to work to build the good roads. Give us a progressive section and as certain as the night follows the day, good roads are going to find a beaten pathway into that section of country. We admit that good roads are essential to a progressive people, but they just as naturally follow the lead of the progressive spirit. We have good roads and lots of them, and the really interesting and encouraging part of it is that they are growing better as the years go by. Paths and narrow road beds of a decade ago are now, public highways and the public highways of ten years ago are now becoming smooth boulevards. We are, as yet, cut off from each other, in a sense, though, because we have not stressed enough the building of rural telephone lines. Let one hundred farmers of this section connect their homes with the exchange here in Belton and there will be one hundred farmers who have, in great measure, become citizens of the town. They have joined themselves to the town, and they have become interested in the growth and development of the place. They naturally feel a deeper interest in Belton than they did before. They can telephone their friends in town, and we who have heretofore been mere acquaintances become neighbors and close friends. They telephone into town for whatever information they want and have not got—the rural telephone will bind to the town of Belton the farmers of this entire section, if we will develop the lines running out from this exchange. This is something we have not heretofore given the attention that it has really seen due. Let's get busy; think of what we have said in this article, and see for yourself if it isn't worth your while. Every farmer ought to have his home connected with the town nearest him by telephone, and they will do it, if they are shown the advantage that such a connection would be to them. Personally, we would rather see the farms of this section connected with the telephone exchange here than the stores and business places in town. Do you agree with same? If not, say so, and at, the time, give your reasons for disagreeing with us. Our columns are always open for letters from people who are interested in the things that ought to interest the entire neighborhood. Every farmer can have a telephone in his home and connection with the Universal Bell System at very low cost. We are ready to co-operate with farmers and with communities to develop this service.

HE WAS CERTAINLY ELIGIBLE Candidate for Volunteer Fire Company Lived on Farm but Slept in His Office. There used to be a company of brave fire laddies in Albany, Ore., known as the Linn County Fire company No. 2. It was a volunteer organization and pretty near all of the best people in the city belonged to it, including United States Senator Chamberlain. In this town was a young lawyer whose father was very rich and who had been to an eastern law school. Since his graduation he had done nothing except open an office. This young lawyer was proposed for membership in the Linn county Fire company. "We cannot elect him," one of the members protested. "The constitution of our company says that the members of it must sleep in Albany and live here in the city; and he lives out of town on a farm and not in the city at all. He would be of no value at all in case of a fire at night. He doesn't sleep here at night." "No," replied Chamberlain, "it is true he doesn't sleep here at night, but he sleeps here in his office all day." And they elected him on that ground.—Saturday Evening Post. DIPPING IN FOR SERMONS KING'S ROOM Dinks—Did you notice the flour on the crown of Rev. Nailer's hat this morning? Winks—Yes. He must be getting pretty close to the bottom of the barrel. The United States government is undertaking a cure for men who forget to mail their wives' letters. The post office department, as an experiment, has installed mail boxes in street cars in the city of Washington. If it works well in the capital, this aid to bad memories will be extended to other cities. The idea is that with a mail box staring him in the face while a man is on his way to his office, there is no excuse for his carrying a letter in his pocket more than three or four days. Thus far the post office has provided no relief for the wife whose husband forgets to bring home the butter or order the coal.—Success Magazine. CONTROL OF CHILDREN. A mother confessed recently that her infant son of seven was quite unmanageable, without realizing that this admission published her own shame. From birth she had treated him as an irresponsible plaything, and now she was reaping the fruits of her own sowing. Many an unfortunate governess has been called upon to enforce discipline among an unruly flock of youngsters totally unacquainted with the meaning of the word. In despair the parents finally send the youthful rebels off to school, where they learn the lesson of obedience in bitterness and tears—Exchange. CAUGHT EIGHT-FOOT HALIBUT. A gigantic halibut was delivered on the Grimsby market. It measured over eight feet in length and drew the scales at twenty-four stone. When caught on an ordinary line it gave no trouble until drawn to the surface, and then it played with the fishermen for a long time until with several great hooks under its gills and powerful lines attached it was drawn on board-by the steam winch. The monster was sold at auction for $25, which is almost a record. Westminster Gazette. COOK'S FAVORITE. "Mandy, are you interested in sports?" "Indeed Ah is, suh!"
