Stock of Subsidiary Companies to Be Distributed Among Stock- . holders cf the Parent Organizaticn. New York.—The Standard Ol Company, of New Jersey, the cor- poration which has been the storm center of anti-trust agitation throughout the country for Fears, ‘Thursday passed out of existence, 80 far as Its present form and functions are concerned. This famous cor- poration will cease officially to carry on Sts operations as the head of a vast organization, whose activities ex- tend Into almost every part of the world. In obedience to the decree of dissolution of the Supreme Court, it 4s to relinquish its control of the sub- sidiary concerns, and September 1 was the date set for the ending of the old regime. With the end of the business day the company’s transfer books, containing the list of stock- holders, close, and the stock of its subsidiaries will be distributed among the stockholders in the parent orgaaization as on record at that time. The work of apportioning the com- pany’s holdings of the stock of more than 30 subsidiaries affected will oc- cupy at east three months, it is ex- pected, so that the readjustment will not be complete prior to Decem- ber 1. ‘The New Jersey company, in addl- tion tp acting as the holding corpora- tion /conducte a large oll business sagas extensive property holdings. “The company, however, has never made a public report and no oppor- tunity has been afforded for gauging the value of its business and of its tangible assets. An offical of the company says that the only element of doubt as to the general effect of reorganization upon the present stockholders lay In the ability of the constituent com- panles, operating independently, to produce as large a total of profits as has been possible under the present form of management. As to whether this can be done, he safd, only the future will disclose. * PRESIDENT TAFT’S TRIP.

Philadelphia—An indication of the number of people dependent for the whole or a part of their Incomes upon the prosperity of ‘railroads is afforded by the compilation just com- pleted of the holdings of Pennsyl- yania, Railroad stock on August 5, 1911, the date of record for the Au- gust dividend, which amounts to $6, 764,610.75. The total outstanding capital stock of the company on that date was $450,974,050, divided into 9,019,481 shares. These shares were held by 69,760 persons, the largest number of stockholders in the history of the company. The average holding of each of these persons was 129.29 shares, of a par yalue of $6,464.50. : Fifteen Men Killed, Baint Moritz, Switzerland—A rail- road’ bridge, which*-was being con- structed across a deep gorge. at Brull, in the Upper Engadin, six miles south of this village, collapsed, scartying with it 30 workmen to the depths below.

Payne,-a negro, and his wife. For more than five years the dol Jars, which Payne {s charged with making, have been passing through banks in Memphis and some have even reached the subtreasurles. The} were accounted among the most dan- gerous counterfelt money with which the government has had to deal. All the resources of the secret service failed to turn up a clue as to thelr source.- Three months ago, _Asslstan! Chief W. H, Moran, the government's crack man on difficult cases, sent Bil Nye, also one of the flower of the service, to Memphis. A few weeks later at a negro emancipation cele- bration at Paducah, Nye picked ur the first Information which Jed to the identification of Payne as the man alleged to have been passing the dan- gerous coins Nye followed Payne back to Memphis, consulted with Moran and the two men lald out a campaign, Then almost inch by inch Nye be gan picking a trail through the streets of Memphis to Payne’s house. Every day Moran In Washington with ‘a pen and fed ink, recorded the prog- ress of Nye’s search upon a map of the clty of Memphis. A few days ago the thin red line came to an end fn the suburbs of Memphis, elght miles from the heart of the city, It stopped In front of an isolated farm- house, surrounded by a high board fonce, which made it ‘possible’ for Nye to seo in the windows. Moran flashed a message over the wires to Memphis apd a few hours later Nye reported” the arrest of Payne and his wife, as well as bis capture of several of.the counterfelt éoins, the outfit for making them and the genuine dollars from which the moulds were made. On the- counterfeits have been peculiar little dents and scratches. Nye reported that he found them in the genuine coins he took in the raid. Moran says that proves that the moulds from which the counterfelts were made were s0 perfect that they even reproduced the scratches and nicks of the genuine coins. Indians to Get $20,000,000.

Mexico City.—Franelsco I. Madero was nominated for the prealdency by the Constitutional, Progressive party in convention here, Not content with the platform as adopted Tuesday by the national con- vention of the National Progressive party, delegates at the convention Proposed as amendments numerous pledges, the most important of which was that to bind the candidates to the support of the “lays of the reform,” which were the measures whereby the separation of church and state was effected dur(ag the administra- tlon of Benito Juarez. Made suspicious by the support given by the Catholic party to Francisco I, Madero, Jr., the dele- gates are determined to put him on record regarding the old question of church and state. . Another Important plank pro- posed is the abolishinent of the of- fice of vice-president. Friends of Gen, Bernardo Reyes have made a move for the postpone- ment of the coming presidential elec- tlon on the grounds that the country {g not yet sufficiently settled and pre- pared for a vote. “If the nation fs without guar- antees in October as it is now the elections should be postponed, for not to do 80 would be a grave offense and the exercise of the right of suffrage would degenerate Into a bloody drama,” declared General Reyes. “If suffrage is to be guaranteed let us have the elections, but {f the lib- erty of the voters Is to be restrained at the time of casting their votes and the liberty of the people is to be rent by violent actions then the elections should be put off.” These, General Reyes declared, are his ideas subject to the principles proclaimed by the revolution, + General Reyes spoke of the decla- ration made by Mr. Vera Eetanol to the effect that ‘the states haye not been legally divided into electoral districts, saying that Jf true ghould come a postponement. Another rea- son produced by the opponents of October elections !s the fact that many Maderists still are under arms. General Reyes sald in referring to the armed Maderists that it was notable that only the revolutionists wo have turned away from the main princi- ples of the revolution to follow Ma- dero personally are the ones for the most part who are still under arms. ; Solder Sta.ts Fire, ! Akron, 0,—Hot solder spilled by tinners ignited the roof of the First Methodist Episcopal Chureh here, and in an hour the building, which cost $250,000, was destroyed.

" ~ ‘+ oa WANT PATCHED UP MEN see ain theme anenn Washington —Army surgeons are urging the War Department to act with greater promptness In discharg- Ing soldiers for physical disability {n- stead of trying'to patch up worthless men for duty which they cannot properly perform, The chief surgeon of the Depart- ment of the East has‘called attention to some specific instances where sol- Wlers transforred to recrulting depots with a view to'thelr dlacharge had been held under observation and treatment for several months. “One case,” he says, “diagnosed ‘neuritis’ remained 218 days; an- other, ‘ununited fracture,’ 161 daye, atill another ‘hammer toes,’ 128 days. When {t is recalled that these men were probably on sick report at their posts an average of 90 days before being recommended for discharge, {t 1s. reasonable to estimate that the government lost by the present plan with these cases alone the equivalent of the services of an effective soldier for more than an entire enlistment. “The army is neither an elee- mosynary institution nor a place for the physically inefftctent and such should not be kept in it to the exclu- sion of fit soldiers. Four months should ordinarily be the maximum period for keeping men on the sick reports, then discharge and the sol- diers’ home, It recovery ultimately occurs the question of re-enlistment ean be considered on its merits.” NEW CENTRE OF POPULATION, Has Moved 39 Mites East to Blaaminaton. ind. ~ Washingtgn.—The center of popu- lation of the United States just an- nounced by Director of the Census Durand, is in. the Western part of the City of Bloomingdale, ‘ Monroe county, Indiana. This is elght miles farther west than the Jocation an- nounced, July 17, when director Durand placed it four and one- quarter mties south of Unionville, in the same county. The exact longitude of the center vf population fs eighty-six degrees thirty-two minutes and twelve sec- onds west, a difference of nine sec- onds, or elght miles from the pre- vious annouticement.

ODD BANQUET «IN NEW sYORK Doctor Entertalis Seventy-five Former Patients to Celebrate Anniver. ‘tary of Gure’s Diecovery. “In New York, where a feally s0- ciable man can eat at reunions and club meetings three or four times a day, the chance to get one more square meal should not attract atten- tion,” said the city salesman, “but i was invited to a dinner the other night that marked the birth of such a novel society that it is worth mak- ing a note of. “The invitation was issued by ‘a kind of quack doctor, who cured me of an attack of rheumatism. The method of treatment was new and the doctor’s own invention. Count- ing in myself, about seventy-five persons had been invited to the feast. ‘The doctor had cured them all in one year and he had invited us there to celebrate” the anniversary of his discovery. . “We were a funny looking bunch; young and old, rich and: poor, men and women.

Notwithstanding our apparent incongruity we mixed as easily as the ingredients-of the doc- tor’s new medicine and had a fine time.” GLASS BOTTOMS FOR SHIPS Scheme That, It Is Asserted, Will In. crease the Speed and, Save Coal Consumption. If ships’ bottoms wero covered with glass, it is asserted, greater speed and a saving in coal consump- tion would be attained. The idea ‘has been tried, but hitherto it has al- ‘ways been found impracticable to at- tach glass to the steel” plates of a ship, as the expansion of the stcel broke the glass after a very slight rise in temperature. . After many experiments a compo- sition of rosin and linseed oil was adopted as the adhesive material and tho difficulty of the expansion of the steel was overcome by*the introduc- tion of a thin layer of wood pulp un- der the glass, A patent has just been taken out in England covering the ‘process. .The patentee says that the cost of placing the glass plates on the sea-covered bottom will not-ex- seed that of two coats of paint. ICE IN PERSIA. ‘The fact that ice is plentiful and chéap makes living in Persia more pleasant than it would otherwise be, and the fact that it can be obtained at all is indicative of the ingenuity of tha people of the'country. The ground js so pokous that water per- colates through quickly. There are therefore few, rivers or lakes from which ice can be obtained, and it is seldom s0 cold in any part of Persia that ico of a thickness suitable for packing would form under the direct rays of the sun. ‘The Persian ob- tdina his ice by making a shallow pool and building a high wall which will protect it from the gun. A thin layer of ice will form ; this he floods at night with water, and so he goes on adding inch to inch until he can cut a block of considerable thickness. WHEN THE CRANE BROKE. - An astounding accident occurred at Buckie, Banffshire, Scotland, 4 few days ago. A thirty ton’ steam crane, which had been used. at the harbor extension works, was swing: ing a fifteen-ton block of concrete into position, when it collapsed ow- ing to the pivot pinion wheel break- ing. The jib was smashed, and tho crane disappeared into the sea, en- gine and all. The engine driver saved himself by Jumping, and the div- érs’ boat, with its crew of eight, flodting alongsidg, had a narrow es- eape, both fromthe falling mass and from swamping by the wave sent'up.

Tho damsel! ‘in question came up during tho in- Yerrogatory and brained her captor with a stone! During theso raids, past and present, the Turkoman ap- peared to have enjoyed a great and! permannent advantage, in that nei- ther Kurd nor Persian ever carried off their women, owing to their ugli- ness, The Turkoman, on the other, hand, preferred Persian to their own! women,-and thus had‘a keen ‘incen- tive, apart from the purely commter~ cial aspect, to engage in these forays, in which no mercy was ever shown to the aged or weary.” HER HINT a : rr aC ‘ SG Ww ix aye ‘ LA > OH.

It cost the government around fifty millions a year to deliver mail to the farmers. The rural route delivery has been in operation about thirteen years, although the first two years or ‘three were largely in the way of an experiment, The first appropriation sWas $40,000, It is a pretty long jump from this figure to fifty millions but the appropriation will not stop there. Tt will’ go on incrgasing until the en- tre country is served with Its dally mail, ‘The farmer has profited by the rural service to an extent not generally un- derstood. Aside from the convenience of daily mail delivery, the rural mail service haa yery largely enhanced the value of all farm properties wherever it goes. Many studénts of agricultural conditions say that it is one of the most important factors In the rapid and unprecented increase of farm values during the past ten years. Tt ts estimated that the value of farms has increased from 30 to 45 per cent. since 1900, and the greater increase has been in those sections where rura] mail routes bave been ea- tablished. The service has also in- fluenced good road building because the government will not deliver mail on roads that are not reasonably well kept. . It is also adding much to the attrac- tiveness to country Ilfe because It brings the farmer into dally contact with village life, overcomes the lonll- ness and monotony of life in the coun- try and by stimulating business ‘activity adds to its profit. BUYING ALFALFA SEED. ” Farmers should take more than or- -dinary precautions in purchasing al- falfa seed to ascertain what they are getting. Alfalfa seed {s subject to adulteration with cheaper seeds close- ly resembling it, and the greater dan- ger Iles in the fact that with the adulterants some noxious weeds may be introduced, which will cause end- Jess trouble and work In the future. It fe almose Impossible for the aver- ago individual to tell the difference between alfalfa, yellow trefoil and sweot and red clover seeds. Alfalfa 4g frequently adulterated with these seeds by unscrupulous dealers, who, owlng to the great demand for the seed, cannot resist the temptation. Good alfalfa seeds are of an obscure greenish or reddish-yellow color, while the defective or Immature seeds are usually brdwn and generally shriveled. The sbape varies, but the majority of the seeds are kidney- shaped.—Fruit Belt. SOW MORE RAPE EVERYWHERE. ‘You can sow rape most any time during the summer, and get your money's worth. It is a fine.thing to sow in corn as a catch crop as it stows faster than cow-peas, soy-beans, clover or any of the catches, ‘As pasture it is far superior to cow- yeas or soy-beans as {t-lasts till near- ly Christmas In the southern states and in many places all winter, ‘Tho ‘seed is cheap. It can be Ddought for about five cents a pound and two pounds will sow an acre s0 that you can get $5 or $10 worth of feed from as many cents’ worth of ‘seed. It ts pretty certain to make a crop, and then ff it fs pastured there ts no loss of fertility to the soll, but on the contrary it {s benefited, As it grows long after corn and oats is matured It saves the nitrogen that yould otherwise be wasted. ‘There 1s no extra plowing, harrowing ‘of harvesting and you may get a profit of one dollar or ten dollars per acre. IMPROVING LIVE STOCK, ‘Too little attention is_given to the Amprovement of our breeds of live stock, The simplest and least ex. pensive method of improving our stock 4a the grading-up process. This re quires only a pure-bred male. Many farmers who are not able to purchase females can afford to own registered ‘sires. Others who are unable to buy ‘such sires can secure the services of such animals at nominal cost. No farmer who can secure the serv- ico of # registered boar for his scrub fows, of a purebred stallion and bull for his mares and ‘cows, should fail to take advantage of It Remember that the male is half the herd when it comes to improving stock. Why continue to raise razontack hogs that weigh 75 pounds at fifteen months when by breeding your’ sows to 2 reg: istered Berkshire boar you can raise Diga that welgh 175 pounds at ten ‘monttis of age? LIQUID MANURE FOR VINES, Liguid manure 1s a wonderful stimu- lant for growing vines and tomato plants, Fill an old barrel with wifes mented horse manure ard setit on a platform high enough from the ground so thit @ pail can be used to catch the Uquid. Then pour water on until it begins to drip out cf the bottom. Arrangé the platfora: 30 the drippings will all ran to ope point, Use these drippings to water the hills and watch MOISTURE FOR WHEAT. ‘The controlling factor in the produc- tion of wheat is moisture. Western Kansas and the plains country in gen- eral produces the best hard winter wheat, because the rainfall in this region Is limited, The soll {s rich in mineral matter, producing wheat that wipens quickly and makea a strong flour. In Minnesota and the Dakotas sim- Nar conditions as-to moisture and 2 shorter summer produce the hard ‘pring wheats used in making flour famous the world over for its high loaf yleld and well-flavored bread. ‘The best hard wheat 1s produced with a limited rainfall, but there are seasons when the supply of moisture 4s too short. It elther the hard winter or spring wheat belt experienced heavy rainfall for a single season, the character of the wheat would change. It.would gain 1a etarch and lose in gluten content. Occasionally there is a season in the hard wheat section in which the rain- fall is far above normal while the wheat {s filling ont resulting in slow ripening. This produces “yellow ber- ty"—a starchy, yellow kernel that re- duces the bread producing qualitfes at the rate of twelve or, more one- pound loaves to the barrel—Kansas Farmer. _ MILCH GOATS. Few know that in our large clties there exists an unfilled demand for goat's milk for weak bables not blessed with the supply of food na ture intended them to have and ‘for {nvallda suffering from lingering dis. eases, This {3 not a fad. It fs founded on a very simple fact, easily understood. The fat glo- bules {n goat's milk ere small- er than those contained in the milk of other animals. Huntan milk alone contains smaller fat globules. Natur. ally the milk containing exceedingly small fat globules {s more easily and completely digested than that contain. ing large fat globules. A difference hes been found between the different breeds of cows In this respect. A de- mand for goat's milk based upon s0 rational a condition and unfilled at 25 cents to 60 cents per quart {s not Boing to grow Jess and is a good one to caterto—Farmers and Drover’ Journal, WHERE THE VALUE OF FERTILIZ- ER SHOWS. At Rothamsted, England, there {s an experiment station that has been car- rying on fertility experiments con- tinuously for more than -half a cen- tury. On field on which no manure and no plant food has been applied, the average yleld of wheat has been 12.9 bushels per acre for more than half a century. Land treated with a heavy annual application of farm manure has produced 35.5 bushels of wheat per acre on an average for 55 years. Another field treated with commercial plant food without organic matter has produced 37.1 bushels of wheat per acre on an average for the same time—Agricultural Epitomist. THE PASTURE, It bas béen abundantly shown that pastures may be improved eltter by natural or commercial fertilizers. When the pastures sre heavily grazed and the animals fed little or no other food, usually the pastures gradually decline. If, however, the catttle are fed a Mlle concentrated food, espe- cially of a highly nitrogenous char- acter, or if the pastures are top- dressed with manures or commercial fertilizers, they steadily grow better. But occasional application of seed, clipping of the weeds, and the harrow- Ing of the field, also contribute to this end—Agricultural Epitomist, WATER AND SALT FOR CALVES, Calves, like other farm animals, get ‘thirsty, even though milk forms a Targe pert of thelr ration. Calves ‘three months of age will drink as much as five quarts of water dally per.head. They like to drink often, sipping a little at a tine, ‘A half barrel cleaned and replen- tshed twice dally, will sorva nicely as a water trough. - Another good device 1s an automatic waterer which may be easily cleaned, situated a lit- tle above the floor to keep out the Utter. : Salt 1s essential to the develop- ment of the calf, as of other ariimals, and'should be kept continually avail- able. FEED CATTLE ONCE A DAY. ‘Years ago I used to feed my cattle corn twice a day, unt!l one day I ran across, Professor Henry's book on “Feeds and Feeding,” and there saw the statemont that many feeders fed only once a day. I had a set of scales put between two feed yards, and fn one yard fed corn once & day and in the other twice. 1 elghed the cattlo in both yards monthly and found pras- tleally no differeace fn gain.

Furniss, nott fied the state department Saturday that the diplomatic corps had failed i ite efforts to mediate between the rev. olutionary factone-and that a confilet seemed to be inovitable, Mr, Furniss ought to know the signs of Impending readjustment in Hayti by this time; he marked the decline and collapse vs the rule of the aged Nord Alexis and witnessed the triumphal entry of Gen. Antoine Simon foto the capital at the head of a tatterdemalion army on December 2, 1909. As a military mgn and former secretary of war the 8e0- eral brushed aside the claims to the presidency of M. Fouchard, who had been a mere secretary of the treas- ury, convened the congress and had himself elected president for a full term. 7 ‘The present situation bears some re- semblance to the emergency of 1908; that {stosay, another military man 18 fn possession of Portau-Prince, Gen. Cincinnatus Leconte, who was driven into exile by Nord Alexis in 1902; but this time the victorious sol- dler will have to reckon with an aspir- ant of a different type from Fouchard, the man of budgets. Gen. Antenor Firmin fs not only a chronic candidate forthe presidency, buta manof parts and audacity with a long official rec- ord, He has been minister to France, secretary of exterlor relations; that 4s, head of the state department, and also secretary of the treasury, under Previous administrations, Firmin first distinguished himself as a member of President Hyppolite’s cabinet in what Was called tho Mole St. Nicholas affair, during President Harrison’s admin- {atration. On that occasion the Hayt!- ans were greatly excited about a pro- posal tolet the United States have the Dlaceforanaval statfon, and M. Fir min drainstically invoked the const! tutlon, which forbids the allenation of any part of the national territory. When Gen. Tireslas Simon Sam. Waa driven from the presidency, in. 1902, M. Firmin, whowas then minis ter to France, became a candidate, with headquarters in his native town, Cape Haytien, and was forthwith known as General Firmin, There were the usual blood-letting and disorder. Gen. Nord Alexis, then secret@ty of war, was dispatched to Cape Haytien to put down the insurrection. About that time Admfral Killick, the Scots- man who had espotsed Firmin’s cause and as commander of the gunboat Crete-a-Plerrot was the head of the navy, had the temerity to sleze the German steamship Markomanla with arms and ammunition consigned to Gen. Nord Alexis, Killick perished ia an explosion of the Crete-a-Plerrot’s magazine after he had refused. to sur render the gunboat to the German man-of-war Panther. The tragic death of Killick and the loss of the consign- ment of war material settled Firmin’s pretensions aud he fied to the {sland of Inagua as Nord Alexis was ad- vancing on Cape Haytlen. General Firmin was a candidate for the prest- dency again when Nord Alexis suf- tered the fate of Tiresias Simon Sam, with greater ignominy, however, Fouchard recelved a post under An- olne Simon's government, byt . Fir- min wisely concluded to remain in exile at St. Thomas when General SI- nfon occupled, Port-au-Prince in force. According to a dispatch from San Juan, Porto Rico, General Firmin has silled from Cape Haytfen on a French steamship with designs on the presi- dency. Theré ts probably no Haytian better equipped for its duties, and he baa a respectable following in the re- public. It is sald that General Firmin ecelved assurances that Leconte would not oppose him, but the Hay- ian politicians are notoriously treach- srous. The man at the head of a so- called army in Portau-Prince Is too trong as a ruler to be dislodged and 188 seldom resisted tho temptation to make himself president. Doubtless General Firmin upon his rival at Cape Haytian will begin his ampeign in the usual way by drum- ming up an army and preparing to march upon the capital, where bis ad- yerents, according to Mr. Furniss, are ready numerous and active, The ad- ninistration at Washington wil} have o awalt developments.

If this is so, why then does St. Paul say to men and women, crushed by sorrow, staggering beneath burdens, beset by trials and tribulations, “bear ye one another's burdens?” If the back Js not broad enough for its own burden, the shoulders strong enough for thefr own cross, why command the humanly impossible? Because St Paul says “it {s the law of Christ.” And it is not a Jaw of precept, but of example—not a mere theory, but a life ved. Not as the law given on Sinai, which was never kept, but an example given in the quietness and self-sacrifice of his, daily life. His ministry of three years, the sorrows he bore, the sickness he carried, the nights spent in prayer, all entitle bim to enjoin upon his followers the duty of bearing, as he did, the burdens of others. St. Peter says that he left men this example that they should walk “in his steps.” The disciple, inspired by that life, should strive to be “as his Master.” Nor does his example allow men to limit, as would be easter, this burden- bearing to assisting our own, to minis- tering to those we love. He came, it is true, to “his own.” He was sent to the “lost sheep of the house of Israel,” but the Syro-Phoenician wom- an, the Samaritan who was a leper, the Gadarene demoniac and others who were not of “that fold” had their burdens borne, their sicknesses car- tied. Whosoever has a burden and needs assistance in carrying it Is a brother to the man who has the strength, the means, to assist. Par- ents, children, friends, can pload these earthly tles and ask for “love's sweet sake,” but the poor, the destitute, the stranger, can only esk “for Christ's sake.” We must provide for our own, care for those of the sume household of falth—to neglect doing so would mgtk us as “worse than Infidels"— Wht 30 neglect any of Christ’s lttle ones, or the sin-sick and sorrow-worn, proves that we have not partaken of his spirit, have failed to catch the significance of that life. The poor we have always with us. Those who are carrying burdens are ever in our midst. The opportunity for bearing the burdens of others fs only ‘limited by man's willingness. The helping hand, the kindly greeting, the word of sympathy, the note of warning, are all needed, and those who withhold them ycarcely know the measure of good they might have done, while those who freely give can never fully realize the help, peace and joy they bring into lives which but for this at- tempt at burden-bearing might become NO TIME TO CHOP WOOD.

Summer, with tts heated terms, its sickness and weariness, gives us num. berless ways of brightening the lives of the poor, the sick and helpless, The Fresh Alr soctety, the Christ Child society, the Federated Charities With its appeal for pure milk for the young, for ice and diet for the sick, afford oportunity to minister to Christ’s sick and little ones—to bear the burdens of others in a way that should appeal most strongly.

The mother’s grief Is no lesa keen, her heart {s also. Pierced. But her ready instinct tells: jer she must bear her own burden and help her husband bear his. She tries to be brave and appear resigned. Her end {s gained. Her bravery and courage strengthen that other heart. In bearing his burden she has found strength to bear her own. The little child is taken and the home !s deso- late. The cot in the children’s hos- pital s endowed, the love and affec- tion is poured out upon some mother- less child, the sick and helpless little ones are cared for and thelr lives made brighter for the sake of the one | who has been taken—do not all these leave a blessing behind? Man is so constituted that in ministering to others he finds the comfort, the sym- pathy, the strength given, returning into his own bosom—good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over. The lamp which has no oil in it can give forth no Nght. The man who has no strength can bear no burden. Uniess a man has found strength in God he cannot help others. Into every life there comes a time when we would give all we possess to be able to say the right thing, to impart the needed advice or sympathy. The father knows not when his son will come to im for strength and comfort—it may be to save him from ruin and dis- grace. The daughter turns to the mother for help and advice, for strength in some crisis in life. What “an that father or mother do if they lave never turned to the Father sbove? Can the man who has never eturned to the Father lead another o him? We éan only comfort others rith that comfort wherewith we our- elves have been comforted.

Sarurpay, SerrenBer 9, 1911 With an Atlanta date line, the press dispatches during the week contained the information that hereafter the Taft clubs will man- age Republican affairs in Georgia, thus displacing the regular organi- zation. This is intended for start- ling news, but it really will not startle. It may startle the pro- moters as soon as the Republican State organization gets in action. ‘The staunch Republicans of Geor- gia will not stand for any interfer- ence from the lily white Taft clubs, and ‘if the least attempt be made to carry out the idea of the press dispatches there will be lively times next year. Lily whiteism has no place in the Republican party and the sooner these Democrats who are Republicans for the sake of office tind this out the better it will be for the best interest every- where, We ‘highly endorse the stand taken by the Wisconsin Weekly Defenderjthat it is an insult to any congregation for an ignoramus to oceupy the pulpit. Weare not acquainted with the Professor Swain spoken of in the following article but what is said in the article about him applies equully It all others in the same category. it behooves reputable pastors to be especially careful as to the men that,they permit to fill their pul- pits. ‘They should know some- thing of the character and ability of these men before allowing them to speak before their congrega- tions. The following is the edito- tial of which we have made men- stion: The Defender is going to begin war on those jack leg and tramp preachers. They must either live right or get, ou of Milwaukee. The good man need not fear. They are not only a disgrace but they are a'set back to the race. Take warping. A man who calls himself Prof. Swain of Georgia and who advertises himself asa preacher and revivalist, occupied the poe of St. Mark’s church Wednes- day and Thursday evening of last week. His remarks and his preaching were simply disgusting to say the least, and an insult to any intelligent congregs- tion How any man can have the nerve to travel around the souatey and hand outsuch dopeis something the Defender is unable to understand. "It is simply 2 case of. ignorance—a travestry on the ministry, Let us not have any more of that Prof. Swain affair in Milwaukee. It is ever a source of much pleasure to us and a credit to the race when Negroes, either in small or large gatherings, deport. them. selves becomingly and we feel that the Knights of Pythias whc recently convened in Indianapo- lis deserve much praise for the admirable way in which they de- meaned themselves. Asan evi- dence of the creditable showing and fine impression they made we present the following taken from the editorial page of the Indians- polis Star: The Colored Pythians. Not less than 30,000 Visiting colored men and women have been in Indiana- pe, this week in attendance on the nights of Pythias convention and the meetings of the associate order of women, As is the case with similar organizations among the whites, mem- berskip is granted in these orders ay to persons of good character and stand- ing, and it was expected that the visi- en would represent the raceat its This expectation proved to be well founded, but evens Indianapolis, white citizens, acquainted as they are with the resident Negro population and its general intelligence and good repute, experienced surprise at the uniformly high-grade of elizenship represented by the visiting -strangers in peated by their otticiat proceedings, their deport- ment in public end their general bear ing anc appearance: Ta connection with ary pe ering this size some dis- order is almost inevitable through the behavior of irresponsible hangers on, but there was the minimum of this this week, and it is not too much to say that far more disturbance is the rule 2s an accompaniment of the coming of en equal number of white visitors. If the colored knights took special pains that orderliness should prevail, it was a manifestation of commendable race Ge, that should delight Booker lashington’s heart, The perade of Jostenday wes ad- mirable in every respect and reflected credit on all concerned. The ecnven- tion altogether hes served to create a ew respect in the minds, of white citizens for the colored brethren'and a better comprehension of their efforts achievements and possibilities, If the Knights and their friends -have found their stay profitable and satisfactory, then the convention has sérved a double purpose’ and bas been -indeed ‘worth while. During” the first part of the week there appeared in town 2 labor agent representing the farmers in middle and southwest Georgia. ‘Fhe mission of the agent was to secure Negro farm hands and he vistited every sec- tion of the city where Negroes are to be found in large numbers, especially Yamacraw and the Fort. In these districts, it is needless to say, he ran upon hun- dreds of idle Negroes and it was bis impression at first sight -that his search for laborers would be met with overwhelming suceess, but tnstead his offers were all de- clined, the men refusing to go to the country for wages which he allowed they themselves to name. He could not understand their refusals and undertook to show them the advantages of accepting work on the farms to loafing around the city. This proved of no avail, however, for without exception the men all offset his arguments by saying that they were very desirous of securing work, but feared to gointo the rural districts on account of the harsh treatment which they would be apt to experience. The recent lynchings and whippings which have been visited upon Negroes together with numerous notices posted throughout the rural dis- tricts of certain counties warning Negroes to leave have hud their effect and now it is no easy matter to persuade Negroes who feel themselves accorded some protec- tion in the city to go out, to the farms, We admit that tle aver- age Negro is better fitted for an agricultural life than the steady grind which the city imposes ea one, but under existing cireum- stances we believe that the life-of a Negro in the country is unsafe and would not advise those who are already in the city to leave for the country. The farmers are no more desirous of securing ‘farm hands than the hands are to get work, but when the farmers themselves exert no efforts what- ever to protect their laborers then the latter in turn are jus- tified in forsaking the farm for those laces where protection is essured | them. Until the farmers learn that they must make the lives of their laborers reasonably safe from mob violence they are going to find it hard to get com- petent field hands, for personal Safety and protection are to be sought above every thing else and not only will there be a scarcity of farm laborers until this pro- tection is afforded but even those who ure compelled to toil in the fields cannot give the best Jabor that they are capable of on ac: count of the uneasiness of mind in which they live. Labor Day ‘Picnics Well At- tended. Parade Not Up To Standard, Labor day was observed very gen- erously by the colored people at the various parks and upon the streets but the demonstration which the trades unions made was rather disappointing and did not! by any medns anywhere near approach those of former years. The public had looked forward’ to 2 revival of the good, lively and keen friendly rivalfy among the various unions on labor day for ‘highest honors in the showing made in the parade but this was not to be seen and in its stead was a rather tame affatr for the thou- sands of laborers and mechanics that are to be found in Savannah, ‘Those that did turn out, however, are to be cougratulated for saving the day for the Negroes of Sayannah and not, al- lowing the day to pass without at least attempting to have the day fittingly ob served by some of the unions here. WORLEY BOUGHT FROM PAWNSHOP HAMMER THAT KILLED J. H. TURNER. Negro Attendant In Shop Sold Hammer for Fifty Cents. A new development in the Turner murder case took place late this week when it was brought out that the ham- mer with which Mr, J. H. Turner was killed on the night of July 31, was pur- chased ata pawn shop on West Broad street by Worley for tifty cents. Wor- ley denies having purchased the ham- mer, and ftill clings to the story that he found it under the seat of the automo- bile. The person who waited on Wor- ley when he went into the pawn shop topurchsse the sledge hammer happened to be the Negro clerk Albert ee who fortunately got a.good look at the customer and easily identified him when he was asked to pick Worley out of about Bue priso- hers lined up at the prison. The pris- oners still cling to the story that they killed Mr, Turner in self defense, claiming that,the fatal blow was struck only after the murdered man had at- tempted to use his gun on them. The finding of this new bit of evidence against the prisoners is regarded by ie prosecution as being particularly damaging as the.men hed both declared that they were unaware of the pres- ence of the hammer in the car until they bappened to stiimble upon it. It is thought that the case -will be brought up fer preliminary tral some time next wee ¥ a Eleventh Republican Congres- ‘sional Committeein «Session. ee moe Mr. Editor, Savannah “Tribune; Please allo space in your widely read paper t0 say the following: The Eleventh Congressional committee of the Republican petty met in Waycross on the above date for the purpose of filling a vacancy of Chairman and Vice Chairman-and considering or attending toany other matter that might claim their attention.

On the 22d the gale continued, and the men felt that the end of their long struggle had come, In the evening all the men were in thelr bags, waiting for death. Greely, Frederick, Biederbick, Elison and Con- nell were under the fallen vanvas of the tent, Brainard and’‘Long were ~ under the fallen canvas of the adjoin- ing shelter. It remained lUght, of course, the sun at this season being continuously above the horizon. Con- nell passed into the unconscious state which wes the prelude of death. The other six men, supremely indifferent to everything, lay Idly dozing, But the evening still was young when, seemingly from a distance, there came a sound that forced itself upon thelr attention. Once came the zound! ‘Twice came the sound! ‘Three times came the sound! Each time it was a long, Insistent screech. Ai first it was annoying, as any sound is that gradually forces one to Jeave one's pleasant dreams and awake. But with the second repeti- tion of the seregch Brainard and Long sat up and looked at eck other. From under the canvas of the tent came the complaining voice of Greely: “Brainard, did you hear {t?” + “Yes, sir.” “What was It?" “I think—I am pretty sure—that It was the whistle of a steamer.” ‘There was something of a stir un- der the fallen canvas of the tent Biederbick had aroused himself and selzed the bag containing thelr last bit of brandy. Two spoontuls were left. Biederbick forced one down the throat of the dying Connell. If they actually were going to be rescued Con- nell should have a chance to live. The other spoonful of brandy Blederbick offered to his commander. When Greely declined It Blederbick sent it to follow the other spoonful down the throat of Connell. 4 Greely now asked Brainard and Long if they could get out from under their canvas and report if anything was to be seen. They said they felt able to climb to the high, rocky point on the-ridge where Brainard had set a signal flag. “Do your best,” sald Greely. Slowly and painfully Brainard and Long crawled up the narrow path in the snow to the point which command- ed a broad view of the sea. There ‘was much open water, but nothing was to be seen on it save the old monotonous floes and bergs. Long sald-they must have been mis- taken in the nature of the sound they had heard. Brainard agreed. After a few minutes Brainard, chilled through, said he would go back and report to Greely. Long, who was more warmly cald, said he would stay up there awhile longer. ‘When Brainard, in reporting to Greely, again expressed the opinion| that they had been deceived the opin- fon seemed to be accepted by all the men under the tent, Brainard crawled back into his bag, fplly believing that he never would leave {t agafn and fully resigned to the prospect. Presently Blederbick began to argue | that the fact that no ship was to be seen from the point above them did not necessarily indicate that they had keen decetved in belfeving that the sounds they heard were those of a ship's whistle. He suggested that the ship might be in Payer harbor, which could not be seen from thelr ridge. | Greely aroused himself sufficiently to say that he did not consider this probable. Blederbick, however, went |’ on arguing in bis persistent German | way that help was near. At length |’ Greely, whose nerves were a wreck |_ and whose mind was fast giving way, turned on Biederbick and cursed him for making a disturbance, “Shut up," he ordered, “and let us die in peace.* : Bo once more there-was qulet. Lying outside in his bag, Brainard |’ vaguely wondered if he ever again would see Long. : Presently he heard footsteps, Some one was coming. It could not be Long. ‘Whoever was coming was running. |‘ God—he was running! Then came a shout—the shout of |! a hale and hearty man. “Greely! Greely! Are ye there?" |! ‘There was no mistaking the voice] ' with Its Scotchtrish accent, The yoice was that of James Ty.

Old Uncle Ned dropped in at 3 charity society ong day and asked fora job of work. The clerk, a young joker, sald: “We've got noth: ing for you today, uncle. “Hold on; though. ‘The river's high. Suppose you go down to the shore and collect driftwood. I'l give you half of all you get” “Thanks, boss. Thank yo, sir,” sald Uncle Ned, with warm and humble gratitude; and he hobbled down to the river side and by sunset he had collected quite a respectable pile of wood. Thea as he was putting on his coat to go home, a man In uniform came up, divided the wood Into ‘wo equal piles and sald: “Tl take this half.” “Why,” sald Uncle Ned, “you alr't the charity soclety gentleman, are you, sir?” “No,” was the reply; “I'm the hat bor master, and half of all driftwoow collected on this shore belongs to me.” “Well, if that's the law, all right; go ahead,” sald Uncle Ned. “You take your half, sir, and tho charity society it'll take it's half. Only I do hope you gentlemen won't mind ff I help myself to just a few sticks off both halves so’s I can make a fire to cook me any little thing I might be able to steal before morning.” A LITTLE buBious, There was a new baby up at John} Bilkins’ and everybody in the neigh borhood seemed very much Intereste¢ fn the newcomer.

DIDN'T KNOW THE ROPES. “When I was in a town in Switzer- land,” sald a traveler recently, “I was delighted to find a shower bath in the sulte I had In my hotel. I arrived full of cinders and dust after the ride from Afxles-Batns and prepared to enjoy a good shower. “But Jooking about I could not find any way to turning on the thing. A cord dangled from the celling near the bathtub and I decided that I had to pull this, I gave one tug and nothing happened. Then I pulled again, with no apparent result. My third effort was a violent one. In a brief moment there was a loud knocking at the door. “Monsieur has'had an accident?’ came In the voice of the chamber- maid. “ ‘No; I was pulling this cord to get a shower bath.’ “Ah, but that is the bell cord,’ came through the door. ‘Monsieur need only turn the eplgot in the bathtub.’” GOT IT THEMSELVES. ‘They were lodging in a Catskill cot: tage and thelr cupboard was well stocked with after-dinner wines, One day a sherry bottle was found uncorked, and on the following day it had again been “tapped.” They de termined to set a trap. Brown had some halrwash of a yellowlsh color and with this the sherry was soon di luted, Notwithstanding this the wine grew less day‘by day and at last the dottle was empty. Then the boarders chuckled and prepared to interview the landlady. “Iam sorry to complain,” sald Brown to her, “but surely the empty state of the bottle requires some ex- planation.” “Well, sir," sald the good wife, “it’s easy enouglr explained.

Mrs. Washington says It {: woman's tendency to stay at home an¢ think of the aifairs of her house and her husband and children exclusively that has kept ber from being man’s {ntellectual equal, and that if women all had some business or work out side their homes, and if marzled wo men especially were occupled at least half of every weekday away from bus: and and children and fireside, they could cope more intelligently with thelr household problems. An office, she thinks, is a great educator for a woman; some hours a day in an office, seeing the newspapers, and keeping In touch with world affairs, {s an im- portant part of her recipe for making & good wife and mother. Mrs, Washington doesn’t speak with. out experience. As head of the wo- man’s department at Tuskegee Instl- tute she meets daily there scores of ambitious young colored women, whose wants and needs are the wants and needs of their white sisters. As chairman of tho executive committee of the National Association of Colored Women's clubs she has had a great acquaintance with the progressive women of her race. At Tuskegee she has her own office and worke In It for a good part of every school day, as ‘she bas ever since she was appointed dean of the women’s department, soon after she was graduated from Fiske university in 1899. All the same, she can cook, wash, fron and order a house with calmness and capability, and it ‘was in her own home that she told the ‘Tribune reporter her views about the destrability of greater emancipation for women, black and white. Not her home at Tuskegee—the Washingtons are living now on Long Island, In a cottage in a hidden corner on the sound, at Fort Salonga, to which they moved a short time ago. Five miles from the nearest railway station it 1s, & white frame house, rather old, ap- proached by a lane bordered with tall growing sumachs and lookng out over the water. Mr. Washington spends a tew days there as he can, between lec- ture “engagements. He was there, working on bis new book, when the reporter called, and: be agreed to every- thing hfs wife sald, “The woman, black or white, who gets up at dawn, cooks the breakfast, washes the dishes, gets lunch, washes the dishes, makes the dinner, washes the dishes—the woman who does this, day after day, grows old before her time,” observed Mrs. Washington from her chair on the porch to the reporter, on another ehalr, ‘The mo- notony of the life makes her lose Interest in herself, which Is woman’s chief prop. She gets careless about her dress. She has no fresh ideas to impart to her husband and children. it her family have any intelligence at all they are pretty sure to come to jook on her as the household drudge and to disregard her accordingly. If 2 Woman has ability for anything sbove drudgery ft fs her duty to cul- vate that ability, to pursue her art or her business part of the time, away rom the cares of home, which cares may be looked out for by a pald do- mestic. This rule, as 1 sald, 1s appll- sable to white women and colored wo- nen alike.” “But,” sald the reporter, “aren't here difficulties In the way of the olored woman who would follow this ule? Are there meny positions open 0 educated colored women—those rho graduate from college?” “Let a colored woman obtain a good -ducation, either Mterary or manual, ind sHe will have no difficulty in ob- alning a suitable occupation,” sald irs. Washington promptly. “Very ew colored women of education have 0 look for work; work looks for them, n the south our women who do not each find positions in offices, some 8 stenographers. I suppose we have 8 Many as a dozer women stenograph- re at Tuskegee. Some colored women re Teporters on newspapers, Somo jave thelr own shops or business of-| Ices, There are colored women In the rocery business, running restaurants, onducting millinery establishments easily get a position as teacher if she doesn’t want to go Into something else The bulk of the graduates do become teachers among us, In many of the country districts of the soutl the colored schools keep open only four months in the year; in other districts there are no colored schools at all. That is the problem colored womer have to deal with before they can take part in the advanced movements) that are agitating women's clubs. A com mon school education should be avail. able for every colored man and wo- ‘Man, girl and boy in the country; it Is for us to make it so. We have begun’ the work; Indeed, one of the Most effective things accomplished by our race Js the establishment by club- women of colored schools in country districts,” “Tell about the colored women's clubs," suggested the reporter. “Well, our national ,assoclation ts organized after the manner of. the white women’s national federation. And the clubs of which It is composed have done some very definite things besides establishing schools in coun- try districts, For example, in some of the southern states the idea of re- formatories for juvenile offenders has taken root very slowly; boys and girls are sent to prison for slight misde- meanors, housed with older prisoners and treated with the sante severity. But in Alabama and several other states the local colored women’s clubs have taken the matter up and estab- Ushed reformatories, where youthful offenders can be taught as well as punished, And in Alabama the refor- matory started by colored women six or seven years ago was found by thé governcr to be doing such work that last winter the state took it over. “In Pennsylvania the state organiza- tlori established and bas supported for three years a home for destitute ue- gro children, The Arkansas federa- tlon is raising money to open a read- ing room {n Little Rock. The Ken- tucky federation maintains a colored orphans’ industrial home at Lexing- ton. “The Tuskegee club, which has 85 members, is an example of the prac- cal work ‘our clubs do. There are different departments for study— fuance, literature, art, domestic sci- ence and social science. There fs a committee which visits the Jails, read- ing to the prisoners and keeping in ouch with thelr families. The poor: house is visited, and a hospital sup- ported at Tuskegee by these women. But to no one,” ended Mrs, Washing- ‘on, “do these clubs do as much good is to the members themselves In get- ing them out of the rut of their home | ife.” | WELCOMING THE KING. The welcome of royalty always means a royalty. For the tariff {s al ways settled by the assumed ability to pay. One recalls the Burwash worthfes in “Sussex Folk and Sussex Ways.” When the prince regent passed through thelr Iittle kingdom on his return to Brighton an alr of un. concern enveloped the village. Not a sound was heard, not a* welcoming note. The prince was not pleased. He asked the reason, and recelved the explanation direct: “They had rung for him when he came through the first tlme, and he gave them no beer, so they weren't going to ring for him again, not Itkely.” George 1V. when he went abroad paid the penalty. Preciscly as the ordinary man pays his doctor and tils Income tax commissioner on his pre- sumed means. He asked the price of eggs. “A ducat aplece, mynheer,” an- swered the Ilttle Dutch girl with the basket. “Are eggs so scarce, then, !n Holland?" “No, mynheer, but kings are.” And George paid. A CRUEL RETORT. Amelia Bingham, at the recent luncheon fn New York of the Actors’ Church alliance, said of dramatic crit. clam: “There is one part of dramatic eriti- cism that strikes me as cruel. I re- fer to the criticism that reproaches an actor or actress with growing old. It is very hard to be reminded of one's age. One is consdlpus enough of that, dear knows, without being told about it In the papers.” “ Misa Bingham’s tense alr relaxed, “Such critics,” she eald, “are almost as béd as Lord Lacland. Young Lord Lacland came over to New York and propored to a rather elderly helress. She refused him. “‘T am sorry, Lord Lacland, she said, ‘but I can never bo anything more to you than a— “‘Just my Inck!’ he interrupted, reaching for his hat and stick. ‘And T’ve got two grandmothers already!’” —Los Angeles Times. THE CATCHER’S MUZZZLE, “George, dear, just one more ques- tion and I promise not to bother you any more during the game,” she plead ed, “Well, what 1s it now?” said George Smpatiently. “Tell me why the catcher wears that tunny wire thing on his face?” “Oh, sometimes the catcher gets mad at the umplre’s decisfons.” “What has that to do with it?" “Some day he might get too mad and bite the umpire, and a they don't want that to happen they muzzle him?” —Detrolt Free Press.

Moton, arrived in New Yor! from London, England. Major Moto was one of the principal speakers at the Universal Races congress, held it London st the University of London From July 26 to 29, He and Mrs Moton sailed for America at the close ot the congress from Glasgow, Scot Jand, on the steamer Saturnia, landing in Montreal, Major Moton has nothing but praise for the Universal Races congress, and predicts that the convention should have a good effect on the peo- ple of all races. He says ‘that the true position and condition of the negro of America should be more thoroughly understood, ‘Two members of the congress who greatly pleased Major Moton by mak- ing conservative and optimistic ad- dresses were W. E. D. Du Bois and John B. Mulholland. Judging trom Major Moton's complimentary _refer- ence to Messrs Du Bols and Mulhol- land, the stand taken by them was entirely different from that of a few months ago when they made an p- peal to England to interetere and pro- test against the discrimination of the negro In America, “Professor Du Bots stated the case for the American negro in a clear, forceful manner as anyone would want," sald Mejor Moton to an Age representative, “He did not sound a Pessimistic note and was as conserva- tive throughout his talk. Mr. Mulhol- laid was equally as hopeful of the race's future in thts country, and while conscious of the disadvantages ‘and difficulties under which the ne- gro in America labors, he expressed the bellef that America would sooner or later give the negro all of his rights and privileges and settle its ‘own problem at home.” Air, Mulholland entertained the dele- gates to the congress at a reception given at his London home which was attended by Major Moton and Mrs, Moton, Mrs. Black, an American, the Countess Warwick and Lord Waredale also entertained the dele- gates, Major Moton, who has been com- mandant and executive officer at Hampton for over twenty years, while in London discussed the future of the negro in America as follows: “There {a much that is discouraging in the situation in America, and, al- though there {s still a prejudice be- tween black and white, the situation to me was never more hopeful than it is today. The negroes are growing to have more faith in themselves, and naturally more respect for them- selves, and they are obtaining more and more the respect of other races. In the educational institutes, where such men as Booker T. Washington, Doctor Du Bois and Kelly Miller are working In absolute harmony, as un- doubtedly they will, I do not think anyone need feel hopeless about the ultimate adjustment of our race dif- ferences in America. . “We are just passing through the most acute period of race feeling in America. Among southern educated men there {5 a strong section who are faking a keen interest in the negro question, from its sclentific and econ- omic point of view. For instance, I am secretary to a board of trustees, who have in hand a millfon dollars af money to be distributed among rural schools for negroes. President Taft 1s one of the trustees, and we meet once a year in the cabinet room of the White House to distuss the position. The board 15 composed of northern and southern white men— Mr, Andrew Carnegie is a member, nd so are Mr. Robert Ogden and Dr. Booker T. Washington. The fact hat the white men, northern and jouthern, and the colored men meet he president of the United States it the White House to discuss this yroblem shows that the position is jopeful, and to me these meetings |: re only one of a number of encourag: | ng signs of the times.” ; “I should feel safer,” he sald, “In a ace riot at Atlanta, Ga,, than,l would @ in Now York. Thera is a strong || orelgn element in the north, who dif- er greatly with one another, and that | auses a difference with the negroes. | “In the south, on the other hand, || n case of distress, I could go Into a outhern man’s house and say to him, | am in trouble; there is a mob after ne, and I would be taken in and iven shelter without questions asked. | what Is probably a survival of the old | | Delran i peta eet dh nigra Peseta to overy white citizen of the United States. a “I think that both factions In the! negro population ‘are entirely honest in thelr opinions, arid my hope fs that eventually the two will conf together and will work to the common good of humanity. I belleve that, the bet- ter clemente in the north and in the south are really anxious that, the négro should have absolute justice and should be treated as a good citl- zen.” THE SMALLEST EVER.

CULLINGS No one who has kept trend with the curredt affairs for the last forty years would deny for ons moment that the ‘negro people have made great progress along many lines. They hare abler educated ministers who preach the gospel In the highest and best sense. ‘They compare very favorably in that respect with any other people. But it must be admitted that this number Is in the minority rather than the ms- Jortty.* ‘There are far too many who do not do anything but talk and beat the alr. Afd"the Voice regrets to say that these have a greater following than the intelligent God-sent minfeters. It is a case “where ignorance is bliss ‘tis folly to be wise.” They tear down rather than bulld up. But there 18 large minority who do credit to any race anywhere and the Voice 1s de- Ughted to say that the number is fast increasing, They ere not those who Delleve that all you have to do ts to open your mouth and ft wil be filled by some miraculous power, but that you must prepare by hard study in some theological seminary or college. And they are making it lees popular for the Ignorant ministers who put their hands In thelr ears and whoop and imagine they have preached & 05d germon when finished. Then, too, the younger race 1s belng educated and are growing intelligent, and will not have that kind of stufl, And hence it fs only a question of time before that kind of Ignorant and superstt- tious talk must give way for truth and spirituality, For those who worship God must do so in spirit and truth. We have many doctors and some lawyers being graduated yearly, and many of them are doing good work for thelr race and community a which they live. They do not belong to the criminal class. Very seldom you hear of any of this class of negroes com- mitting any crime. They aro ‘eelf- respecting and law-abiding. The only fault we find ts thelr lack of unity among themselves. But we see some improvements along this line, The Yolce seems to think there is better understanding among them. They seem to understand one another and work for the highest good of thelr pa- tents. . 7 As fo what the negro editors ar Jdo- tng, /ve only refer to the address de- Jivéred by Mr. Booker T. Washington ‘tn New York before the Negro Natfon- al Business Teague. _He told the truth when he sald “that no people” ought to recelve the patronage of our people. He sald, without these papers negro enter prises never could have made the pros- Tess which they have. The true negro paper not only serves fts own race, but both races. For it cements the friendsh{p between them. Of course there are exceptions. Thero are those that are calamity howlers, that el- ways seo the dark side rather than the bright. But the Volce fs an opt mist and belfeves that the law-abiding ‘and God-feariag among our white neighbors want us ot succeed, and not- withstanding the rabld talks of the politician, wo believe that the best white people wish us‘well and that ‘Wo will secure every right guaranteed us by the state and federal constitu: tlon, The Voico further believes that industrious, law-abiding and God-fear ing as many of our people are, need have any fear of the future. Let ug not then be discouraged when things don’t come our way at all times.—Piedmont Voice. ‘The Record fs in hearty accord with the results achieved by Booker T. Washington.

It ts thi that God looks at (2 Cor. 9:75 8:12; Luke 16:15). ‘There can be ho steadiness of life and action with ouf- steadfastness or purpose (Acts 11:23), Danlel’s purpose was fixed and unalterable. Carrying {t out involved great daily sacrifice and great perll, bug there Danfel stood, and God, of course, stood by him. Daniel's pur- pose was 2 good one in Itself, “not to defile himself.” ‘The king’s meat and wine were very agreeable to the pal ate, much more agreesble than pulie, but they had been offered as a sac riflce and lation to false gods and Daniel would keep himself free from ail false compromise with devil-wor eblp (Deu. 32/88;Ps. 106:28; 141:4; 1 Cor, 10:18-21, 28:31), He would be absolutely clean from all partnershlp with the whole misearable business What a lesson Dante! gives us in this day of easy-goink worldly conformity. He was in Babylon, but he would not do as the Babylonians did. He lost nothing by bis unwavering fidelity to God. No one ever loses anything by such fidelity (Ps. 8411).

Dantel bad wis- dom given to him in an especial direc- tion, “Inall visfons and dreams.” This Was because Daniel had ‘an especial work to perform in the purposes of God and an espectal place to fill In the plan of God.

In the modern commercial world there is perhaps no more striking example of the power of the press for developing an enterprise than that given by H. J. Selfridge in his London department store. London a century ago had her own standard of commercialism and exploitation and the method was quite as un-American as London is. The merchants believed in dignity at all times; they did not encourage idle curiosity. Then Mr. Selfridge, very American and afame with nerve and ideas, entered the staid city, and one morning all the papers were alive with his advertisements. He told what his store contained in three-inch headlines, he gave the policy of the institution in long columns, he whetted the public curiosity, and then lived up to the expectations of the people. Truly, London was surprised and London was indignant, but London was also curious, and today as a result of the Selfridge idea the big stores are advertising and becoming more of a public institution than they have ever been. In America we need no example of what the newspaper does for the department store. It has built the loop district, and so potently is this recognized that stores in other parts of the city desiring additional trade are beginning to use the paper columns extensively. All are seeking patronage because without the peoples' co-operation no institution can exist. Now the newspaper itself is also a business proposition. Run along different lines perhaps, but with the same fundamental prinicples governing its well being. Perhaps no other business gives so much for so little. The best brain of the country is called for its columns. No branch of life is left unnoted. It is a history, a literature, a dictionary of everyday life, and it is absolutely dependent on the populace for its existence. Other institutions supply physical needs that are constantly recurring, but the newspaper supplies the mental need which is at all times uncertain in its demands. A famous writer once said that "no man could be ignorant who kept himself familiar with the newspaper." It gives the best expression to all events and ideas in the most concise manner possible. And the news in accredited papers is absolutely dependable. As an institution it is the keynote of a race or nation. It reflects the trend of thought and lends color to public opinions. It moulds and shapes men's minds and ideas according to the brain which creates it. It is a dominant force reaching influence that cannot be escaped or crushed. Crimes are prevalent, but were it not for the newspaper and its ever watchful eye, crime would perhaps be the rule rather than the exception. Moreover more movements toward right living and right thinking are directly traceable to the press than to any, other public organ. To the cities the papers are like the rapids to great bodies of water, ever cleansing and readjusting them. The local news organ watches over the community, points out the immoralities, brings to light those things which are for the public good and which, were it not for the paper, would often be overlooked or silenced. As an evidence of progress the paper is a movement to the race. To our race this is especially true. "Tis only in very recent years that we have recognized the need for records and histories of our daily occurrences, but the negro newspaper-all over the country, has for years been watchful of an interest to which the race is but just awakening. Moreover, our papers have given incentive to brain development, and through them we have found free expression for our Fred Douglases and T. T. Fortunes. With a voice that can be heard from coast to const, they bring before the land the needs of an often neglected portion of its citizens. To the paper the race owes reforms which the pulpit often cannot reach. It influences politics, watches the school systems, guards the social centers, in fact keeps the good of the community ever before negligent people, besides giving a healthy tone and clean understanding of literary matters and pastime interests. It is the weapon of the oppressed and the mouthpiece of the race at all times. And the voice speaking through it is usually that of Destiny. By. keeping things forever in the limelight it acts as a great moral factor. Those in power are slower to act without justice when they know that a paper stands ready to announce the evils that they do to a listening and correcting world. But in the final analysis, the paper is the direct medium of the advertiser and the subscriber. To them it gives its best and closest attention. And from them it must draw its sustenance. And, since the paper fulfills in its entirety its duty to its patrons, an obligation is imposed on them toward it. Our race papers should be patronized at all times when possible. They can only prosper as we answer their needs, and their progress means ours. Financially, the patrons of a paper cannot be too prompt. It is an institution where, because of its very nature, large expenses are always accruing. We ourselves set the standard for any enterprise, and we ourselves measure its progress. The newspaper will proper, despite individual shortcomings, but every person should feel it his duty to help toward that progress. Advertisement means larger business, an increased interest, a larger outlook, and our interests demand that we keep that which we are offering the public everywhere before them. The newspaper is the surest, swiftest measure for accomplishing this. We must recognize our interests in our enterprises and live up to them if we ever measure to the full stature of a nation.—Illinois Chronicle. DISTURBING THE PROFESSOR. Professor Jenkins was deep in a philosophical discussion with a visiting classmate when his neighbor, Mrs. Ely, knocked in his study door, and then opened it without further ceremony. "Oh, professor," she gasped, from the threshold, "your house is on fire!" "Thank you," the professor responded, with smiling courtesy. As Mrs. Ely turned away he added: "Would you mind mentioning it to Mrs, Jenkins as you go out?" Mrs. Ely giggled hysterically. "But I can't find Mrs. Jenkins! She is not in the house." "Not in the house?" The professor was momentarily dazed. Then his countenance brightened and he visibly threw off all anxiety. "But she must have made some arrangements before going out. She always does. I am sure cook or Martha knows what she would wish done in such unusual circumstances." "Just then the fire department dashed up to the back door, and with it Mrs. Jenkins. She soon appeared in the study. "It's all right, Theodore," she assured her husband. "We shall be able to confine the fire to the laundry; you won't be disturbed." As she went out, gently closing the door after her, the professor remarked that Mrs. Ely was a good neighbor and a charming woman, but slightly impetuous. "She ought to know by this time," said he, "that there is absolutely no necessity for me to meddle with household affairs. Dorothea is so entirely capable."—Youth's Companion. GOOD FORM $ ^{3} $ IN PHILADELPHIA. As customary in many families, the daily order for meat and groceries is placed by phone. Among the West Philadelphiaans who do their marketing in this way is a very fastidious woman whose home is in Chester avenue. One day she was passing the meat shop when, to her amazement, she saw the butcher in his shirt sleeves talking over the phone. Next day she called him up. "Is that Mr. Blank?" she asked, and, receiving an affirmative answer, thus proceeded: "This is Mrs. White, and I merely desire to say that hercafter either you, will put on your coat when you talk to a lady over the phone or I shall find another dealer." "Why, my dear woman, what's wrong?" asked the butcher. "Why, don't you know how terribly vulgar it is to talk to a woman in shirt sleeves?" This aroused the man's indignation and not caring whether he lost her trade he shouted back: "Then, madam, you'd better put on a coat"—Philadelphia Times. THEN HE LEFT. The clock on the mantelpiece had already struck one. At least it would have done so had the clocks been invented then. Still the noble knight lingered, thinking of something to say, although the baron's daughter was obviously half asleep. "I'm afraid," he ventured at last, "that I am like an auger." "And why, Sir Knight?" she asked, talking in her sleep. "Because I bore you," he exclaimed in triumph. The shock roused her. "Nay, then," she retorted, "but you remind me of an ancient flintlock gun." "Aha, fair lady," he queried, scenting a compliment, "in what manner?" "It takes you so long to go off," she murmured, as she settled down for another nap. At 1:15 a. m. the portcullis fell with a clank, the cat was put out for the night, the drawbridge raised and all slept—Greensboro Telegram. A BIG CONTRACT. George W.

Crowded Old Irish Inn Sleeping on a mat under the moon in a cannibal country is a pale adventure compared with a lodge in an old-time Irish inn at the height of the tourist season. A certain master of the Galway hunt, says a contributor to Cornhill, arrived at a small inn where all the beds were already taken. A kitchen table was requisitioned, a heterogeneous collection of bed clothes was arranged upon it—into the exact nature of which it was perhaps not well to inquire too closely, as it seemed to be composed of contributions from the wardrobes of the hotel help—and the sportsman turned in. The pillow was an odd-shaped substance, emitting a faint and strangely familiar odor; but the master of the Galway Blazers was too weary to concern himself over such trifles, and he slept as soundly on his make-shift couch as if it had been a canopied bed of state. SEE THE— He was awakened in the morning, by a gentle fumbling at the wrappings beside his head, and started up to see a gleaming knife suspended above his head. "I'm sorry to be disturbin' ye, sir," said an apologetic voice, "but sure th' house was out iv pillows intirely, an' we put th' side iv bacon undher y'r honor's head. I was just conthrivin' to get a few rashers off for th' quality's breakfast without disturbin' ye, whin y'r honor woke up."

Although the state has its "no trespass" sign tacked on the elk in the Olympic mountains, guides are returning from the wild regions with large game—wild cattle unprotected by law. Grant W. Humes brought in the hide and horns of a wild bull he killed in the plateau region at the headwater of the Dusewallips river. Humes, who has lived in Olympia 15 years, says several hundred wild cattle are at large near the source of the Dusewallips. Indian legend says the stock was brought to this country by the Scotch settlers who landed from a sailing vessel in the early forties. The colony did not thrive and its members returned to civilization leaving their stock. Guidelines say the wild cattle and horses are more timid than deer and more difficult to hunt.—Seattle correspondence Chicago Inter-Ocean. THE REAL THING The childish mind deals with the concrete more easily than with the abstract. It can give an example more readily than a definition. As, for instance: The kindergartner was trying to "draw out" from her little audience the meaning of good luck. She asked, "Have you ever had good luck?" Because Michael waved his arms and signaled most strenuously, he was given the floor. "I know what good luck means. My papa has always had good luck. He's been on the section gang 23 years, and he's never broke a hand car yet." SHREWD 8MUGGLERS CAUGHT An astonishing ruso has been adopted by smugglers at Naples, Italy, to get food into the city without paying the municipal dues. It was found that the smugglers were using a main drainage pipe, and the officials hung through various drain gratings thin threads of cotton.
