NEW INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITIES EUROPEAN WAR AND OTHER CURRENT EVENTS WORKING TOWARD THE INTEREST AND ADVANCEMENT OF RACE —THOUSANDS ALREADY EMPLOYED—DEMAND GROW- It is becoming more and more conspicuous every day that many current events in the history of the United States and the world, which are necessitating a readjustment of industrial conditions, are working toward the interested and advancement of the Negro. First of all, the European war has caused a shortage of labor. In the Connecticut River and Farmington River valleys, where foreign labor had deserted the fields for munition plants, the tobacco-growing industry was seriously threatened until it was decided to use Negro labor. Now the crop is being saved. The native employees are earning from $50 to $75 per week and Colored men and women are in big demand. Hundreds of students are taking advantage of the opening. The Connecticut Leaf Tobacco Association says that Negroes will earn $150,000 this year and this will be doubled next season. Half of the amount is being earned by students and will be spent for education. One thousand one hundred Colored laborers, ranging in age from 21 to 45 years, left Savannah, Ga., August 11, for Philadelphia, where they are to work on the lines of the Pennsylvania Railroad. Colored men have supplanted white in the plant of the Chattannoga Booding & Foundry Co., Chattannoga, Tenn. The steel foundries in and around St. Louis are offering tempting inducements to Colored men to enlist as employees. One plant especially has Colored agents out going from door to door seeking the unemployed. MOVIE AND RIALTO SHOW "THE NIGGER" Story of a Southern Romance Highly Indored by Leading Colored People. Shows Better Side of Human Nature. St. Louisans will get an opportunity to see Edward Shelton's celebrated play, "The Nigger," with William Farnum in the title role, on Tuesday, August 29. Manager Thomas James, by special request has secured the picture for the Rialto Skydome and Movie Theater on the above date. "The Nigger" is highly praised by leading Colored people throughout the country. It tells of a romance of love, politics and the inevitable race taint, draws out the finer and higher qualities of human nature and ends in a race loyalty that is truer to nature than any other play written with the race question as its theme. "The Nigger" was shown at one of the churches here last winter. Those who saw it say it is a picture that every man, woman and child should see. It is a tale of a young son of a Southern plantation owner who grew to popularity and was elected governor only to be exposed by his enemies, who learn he has "Colored" blood. He is engaged to a white belle of the state, who implores him to go north with her, where the taint in his blood will not be known, but he declares that he will resign his office and devote his life to the betterment of the Negro and to solving the problem of the black man. The play touches the heights and depths of human nature. It is like a mountain rooted in the living rock and rearing its summit above the clouds. Every one should see it on the 29th.

The St. Louis Argus WHITE GIRLS STRIKE TO UPHOLD COLOR LINE Fifty white girls in the sausage room of Armour & Co.'s packing plant in East St. Louis, went on strike August 16 because Negro girls were employed in their department to do scrub work. Their places were taken today by twenty-five white girls and thirty-five Colored, according to officers of the packing plant. It was said some of the striking girls asked, to be reinstated today and were turned down. NEGRO FARM COLONY OUTSIDE OF DENVER Denver, Colo., August 11.—Oliver T. Jackson, Colored Messenger in the office of the governor with the help of the latter, secured a portion of a 20,000-acre tract of government land and induced a number of Colored families in Denver to go out and locate on it. In the city they were living in undesirable quarters, doing ill-paid work under conditions that were a moral menace. Some of them were so poor that they had to be helped financially to make the move, but they went, one after another, until now 40 families are there located, co-operating in farm work, prosperous, comfortably housed and contented. They live in a town called Deersfield, have a combination store and hotel and a church, and find in Denver a ready market for their produee. BIRTH OF A NATION BIRTH OF A NATION New York City—At Crittenden Home there were twins, a black boy and a light girl sister born to a white girl. The affair has provoked a great deal of comment both ways because some people believe that the twins have two different fathers while the majority of the people believe that there is only one father and he was a black man. Dr. Justina Ford, one of our prominent physicians has taken the boy to adopt, while Mrs. Carrie Washington was given the girl by the Juvenile Court. The affair happened while the Birth of a Nation was playing at the Broadway, contrasting the real birth of a Nation as the imaginary photo-play. COLORED MAN DEPUTY COL LECTOR OF PORT AT CHEBOYGAN, MICH. Chebogan, Mich.-The big political sensation yesterday came when Raymond D. Taborn, Colored, from Kalamazoo, presented himself with credentials for taking over the office of deputy collector of customs at this port. Great dismay followed the appearance of Taborn, who informed all Democratic candidates for the job, that the deputy collectorship came within the civil service ruling, that he had passed the examination and though a Republican, had been appointed.

Team I4 Raises The First $1,000 One thousand dollars has already been raised by team 14. Just as in December there was rivalry to see which team could have the largest amount subscribed toward the Y. M. C. A. Building: Fund, there has been a keen interest to see which team would be the first to collect $1,000. Team 14, of which Dr. T. A. Curtis is captain, turned the trick when two members of the team themselves contributed the amount to make up the balance of a thousand dollars. This is a fine record, and the men are coagulating that team for having made such an excellent showing. Team No. 8, of which Mr. T. A. Marshall is captain, has the distinction of having paid in more money to the building fund than any other team. Nine hundred and forty-six dollars was pledged by the men who worked on team eight and of this amount $349.50 has already been paid. This is over 35 per cent. A number of the men who are members of the Board of Managers of the Y. M. C. A. are making a trip to Kansas City this week to the Business League, and while there will make a study of the Kansas City building, in order that all the points may be considered when the Colored Department building is begun here.

Y., by Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Equal Rights League. The call is for a National Race Congress and among other things says: It has been wisely suggested in view of existing unfavorable social, civic and political conditions confronting us as a people, that the National Equal Rights League invite and urge all of our people, in all sections of the country, to unite in a great "National Congress of Colored Americans," and for the special purpose of voicing the feelings and opinions of the race on those unfavorable conditions now surrounding us in this country; and also to decide upon the wisest and best methods for combating color segregation and all other forms of color discrimination. Extraordinary Wrongs Suffered After fifty years of so-called freedom in this country, what in the prevailing condition of our Colored American population! Briefly stated it is this: Our civil rights have been rendered almost futile; we are shamefully curtailed politically; we are devalued equality before the law; we are not allowed equal industrial opportunities; our property and our lives are not at all secure; and "the black horrors of lynching" innocent Colored Americans, continue unabated while our Federal Government's indifference towards all these injustices is but little less than the nullification of our great war amendments. Throughout the southland, and to more or less extent in the north, the increasing millions of our fellow Colored Americans are being more and more reduced to the suitable condition of political serfs and social outcasts. COLORED MAN LIVED TO BE 121 YEARS OLD Kansas City, Mo—Louis Merriam. Colored, who was born when George Washington was president of the United States, died at his home in Kansas City. Kan, last night, Merriam was the older man on the United States pension rolls and claimed to have substantiated the fact that he was born 123 years ago at the Sopher plantation in Virginia, in 1795.

DRUGGIST IN WEST END HAS JIMCROW SERVICE Although Majority of Patronage is Colored, Refuses Soda Fountain Service and Supplies Them Through a Hole in the Wall to a Room in the Bear. Indignation has reached the boiling point with Colored residents of the west end on account of a Jim Crow Drug Store on the southeast corner of Finney and Pendleton Avenues. Although the majority of patronage at this place is Colored, the proprietor has barred them from soda fountain service and is supplying them with soda, ice cream and watermelon through a hole in the wall, to a rear room. A sign in the store informs the patrons of this fact. When an Argus reporter asked for fountain service he was refused by the chief clerk who also refused to make an explanation. There are a number of other places in the neighborhood conducted by both white and Colored who give service without discrimination. Only a small portion of the residents patronize the Jim Crow Annex, and most of those who do are lured by the presence of a Colored lady waitress, employed by the druggist. The room has a street entrance near an airdome conducted for and by Colored people and from outside appearances does not betray its Jim Crow connection. Academy Boys and Girls Last Boat Outing The Academy Boys and Girls will give their last moonlight excursion on the beautiful steamer, Grey Eagle, Monday evening, August 28.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION STILLMAN OWES THE NATION AND THE WORDS The conversion of Senator Tillman will not allow darkness and violence against the Negro. He despises the Godly sorrow is all right, but after. He must now do like St. Paul, after he has from persecuting the Christians to be chickens of the Gentiles. So, now, Tillman need go to the "red necks and hill-billies," lynchers and Carolina and hold up the gospel of humanity, which he gets in perils on land and sea is beheaded, imprisoned and beheaded, for that is just Negro at Hamburg and other places in his skimming to boast of it in the senate, and the public. There is no remission of sin without the there is no quieting the qualms of conscience and crime; without the keenest and most severe too easy for the senator to get rid of the words that brought death and distress to men; simply admitting that he now sees that his laws of the universe are just as invariable and as the physical laws. The violation of the inevitable punishment, and, so Senator Tillman self to the figurative fires of hell which builts and consciences of men whose lives have been inflicted and flagellation of their fellowmen. Our light so shine." Let Senator Tillman goes of the new light that has burst in upon our outrages, lynching and man-burning in the soil. That is the debt he owes the nation and the Nation.

WHAT TILLMAN OWES THE NATION AND THE NEGRO The mere conversion of Senator Tillman will not amend for his acts of bitterness and violence against the Negro. He must do acts meant for repentance. The Godly sorrow is all right, but the Godly acts are better. He must now do like St. Paul, after he saw the light, he turned from persecuting the Christians to be chief apostle of Christ to the Gentiles. So, now, Tillman need go to the Gentile world, to the "red necks and hill-billies," lynchers and man-burners of South Carolina and hold up the gospel of human brotherhood, even though he gets in perils on land and sea is beaten, storm-tossed, mobbed, imprisoned and beheaded, for that is just the way he treated the Negro at Hamburg and other places in his state, and then had the brazonry to boast of it in the senate, and the public halls of the north. There is no remission of sin without the shedding of blood. There is no quieting the qualms of conscience, after a life time of evil and crime; without the keenest and most painful pangs of remorse. It would be too easy for the senator to get rid of the consequences of acts and words that brought death and distress to many hundreds of people by simply admitting that he now sees that he was wrong. The moral laws of the universe are just as invariable and uniform in their action as the physical laws. The violation of these laws are met by inevitable punishment, and, so Senaton Tillman may now resign himself to the figurative fires of hell which burn and burn into the souls and consciences of men whose lives have been given to the oppression and flagellation of their fellowmen. "Let your light so shine." Let Senator Tillman go forth and tell his comrades of the new light that has burst in upon him and thus help stop outrages, lynching and man-burning in the south. That is his duty. That is the debt he owes the nation and the Negro. WORK TO BE DONE nothing to be gained by denying the fact. candid and admit that Gardner money is a or in the race for governor. In fact it is a fare of the state. This is true in the ranks of race or color. Information comes to us and fifty thousand dollars is to be distr ers alone in an effort to influence their vot There is nothing to be gained by denying the fact. We may just as well be candid and admit that Gardner money is going to be a potent factor in the race for governor. In fact it is a menace to the future welfare of the state. This is true in the ranks of all voters regardless of race or color. Information comes to us that between twenty-five and fifty thousand dollars is to be distributed among Colored voters alone in an effort to influence their vote. Never before in the history of Missouri has there been such a tendency of the Colored vote toward the democratic state ticket. These are facts which commend immediate consideration. They show plainly the work to be done by the Republican campaign managers. The old guard of campaign speakers and political leaders are losing their influence with the voters. New and younger blood must be enfused into the work. Arguments and ideas must harmonize with the times, conditions and environments in order to win. The Republican party needs every Negro vote in Missouri this year. There is but one way. Employ the best orators we have and send them out through the state. Use the newspapers that are the organs of the race. These agencies alone will accomplish the work that is to be done and without these influences thousands of Negroes will be found in the Democratic state ranks next November. "Great Seas, Woodrow!

A sort of semi-Colon, as it were. Night has fallen and the favorite sons will shine no more for four dark dreary years. Young people, who worry about what is going to become of them, shouldn't. Nothing will. It might be observed that when politics makes strange bedfellows there isn't much sleeping. It is becoming apparent that our old friend Przemysl may figure in the war news again soon. Another thing the war has demonstrated is that the way to save daylight is to use more of it. If fashion shortens garments to keep pace with increasing cost, a good many will venture out only at night. Government statistics show where all the plas come from, but nobody has yet found out where they all go. Pointed Paragraphs From Speech of Acceptance of Charles E. Hughes It is apparent that we are checkingly unprepared. When we contemplate industrial and commercial conditions, we see that we are living in a feel's paradise. Not only have we a host of resources short of war by which to enforce our just demands, but we shall never promote our peace by being stronger in words than in deeds. We are neither deceived nor numbed by abnormal conditions. We know that we are in a critical period, perhaps more critical than any period since the Civil War. The Administration utterly failed to perform its obvious duty to secure protection for the lives and property of our citizens. It is most unworthy to slur those who have investments in Mexico in order to escape a condemnation for the non-performance of this duty. It is only through international co-operation giving a reasonable assurance of peace that we may hope for the limitation of armaments. We have determined to cut out, root and branch, monopolistic practices, but we can do this without hobbling enterprises or narrowing the scope of legitimate achievement. We demand a simple business like budget. I believe it is only through a responsible budget, proposed by the executive, that we shall avoid financial waste. We have had brave words in a series of notes, but despite our protests the lives of Americans have been destroyed. Phrases which will NOT occur in the Woodrow Wilson speech of acceptance: Psychological prosperity. Molasses to catch flies. Strict accountability. Too proud to fight. Salute the Flag. Get Villa. Butt In. WILSON FLEXIBILITY. We do not see why there should have been any stir in the senate over the discovery that President Wilson has completely reversed himself in the matter of the proposed child labor law. Senator Borah was able to show that Mr. Wilson described this legislation in his "Constitutional Government" as unconstitutional, an "obviously absurd extravagance," carrying the congressional power to regulate commerce beyond the "utmost boundaries of reasonable and honest inference," and making it possible, if entailed, for congress to legislate over "every particular of the industrial organization and action of the country." That, we must confess, has also been the Evening Post's view. But the Evening Post and Senator Borah are old fogles, dating back to the time when it was the custom to have fixed beliefs and principles and stick to them. The senator has evidently not read Mr. Wilson's letter is explaining his change of front on the tariff commission—that it is only a narrow man, whose mind is stupidly closed to new ideas, who does not alter his opinions. By this test, Mr. Wilson is obviously one of the broadest minded men this country has ever produced, for he has changed his mind, to date, on the initiative, referendum, recall, woman suffrage, the tariff commission, tariff for revenue only, a permanent diplomatic service beyond politics, the merit system in the civil service, the proper place of Tammany Hall in the scheme of the universe, child labor legislation, preparedness, Bryan, a continental army—but why continue? It is a long enough list to prove that Mr. Wilson's political views are not fossilized by any fear of inconsistency.—New York Evening Post. THE AMERICAN WORKING MAN SHALL NOT SUFFER The Republican Party stands for the principle of protection. We must apply that principle fairly, without abuses, in as scientific a manner as possible; and Congress should be aided by the investigations of an expert body. We stand for the safe-guarding of our economic independence, for the development of American industry, for the maintenance of American standards of living. We propose that in the competitive struggle that is about to come the American working-man shall not suffer.—From Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance. Again, we must build up our merchant marine. It will not add to put the Government into competition with private owners. That, it seems to me, is a counsel of folly. A sure way of destroying the promise of our foreign trade could hardly be devised. It has well been asked—Does the Government intend to operate at a profit or at a loss? We need the encouragement and protection of Government for our shipping industry, but it cannot afford to have the Government as a competitor—From Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance. DECRYING INTERFERENCE, WE INTERFERED IN MEXICO EXABERATINGLY. The dealings of the Administration with Mexico constitute a confused chapter of blinders. We have not helped Mexico. She lies prostrate, impoverished, famine-stricken, overwhelmed with the woes and outrages of internecine strife, the helpless victim of a condition of anarchy which the course of the Administration only served to promote. For ourselves, we have witnessed the murder of our citizens and the destruction of their property. We have made enemies, not friends, instead of commanding respect and deserving good will by sincerity, firmness, and consistency, we provoked mispreparation and deep resentment. In the Light of the conduct of the Administration no one could understand its professions. Dearying interference, we interfered most exasperatingly. We have not even kept out of actual conflict, and the soil of Mexico is stained with the blood of our soldiers. We have resorted to physical invasion, only to retire without gaining the professed object. It is a record which cannot be examined without a profound sense of humiliation.—From Mr. Hughes' speech of acceptance. How Much Is Now Left of the Baltimore Platform? The President had boldly signed the Pork River and Harbor bill, and his facile pen is dripping with ink eager to attach itself to a Pork Public Buildings bill. The friendliest apologists of the President's part in the protigate waste of money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation have nothing better to say for him than that it is hardly fair to expect a man to say "I forbid!" in this Presidential year when he is a candidate. The foregoing words describing the protigate waste of the people's money with Executive approval are taken without change from a plank of the platform on which Woodrow Wilson was elected in 1912; "We denounce the prodigate waste of money wrung from the people by oppressive taxation through the lavish appropriations of recent Republican Congresses, which have kept taxes high and reduced the purchasing power of the people's toll. We demand a return to that simplicity and economy which befits a democratic government." How much is now left of the principles declared and the promises registered at Baltimore as inducements to citizens to vote for Wilson. Possibly it is because he and his party have been such reckless, such wholesale repudiators of the pledges of 1812 that few people remember or care to remember what pledges were made in his behalf about forty days ago at St. Louis—New York Sun. We demand adequate national defense; adequate protection on both our Western and Eastern coasta. We demand thoroughness and efficiency in both arms of the service. It seems to be plain that our regular army is too small. We are too great a country to require of our citizens who are engaged in peaceful vocations the sort of military service to which they are now called. As well insist that our citizens in this metropolis be summoned to put out fires and police the streets. We do not count it inconsistent with our liberties, or with our democratic ideals, to have an adequate police force. With a population of nearly one hundred millions we need to be sure of ourselves than to become alarmed at the prospect of having a regular army which can reasonably protect our border, and perform such other military service as may be required, in the absence of a grave emergency. I believe, further, that there should be not only a reasonable increase in the regular army, but that the first citizen reserve subject to call should be enlisted as a Federal army and trained under Federal authority. — From Mr. Hughes speech of acceptance. "Having in view the possibility of further aggression upon the territory of the United States from Mexico and the necessity for the proper protection of that frontier," President Wilson, on June 18, called out the mobile arms of the National Guard for federal service. He did not call them out at their existing peace strength, but at war strength, which is practically double. Locking a system of reserves, the National Guard organizations immediately had to start a campaign of recruiting, to bring about the desired increase in their numbers. Patriotic young citizens, under the urge of the cry, "Your country needs you," volunteered for service in grafting numbers. According to Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs, the result is that about 135,000 citizen soldiers have been mustered into the federal service and are now on the Mexican border or in camp in their home states. There may be more, but the administration refuses to make known the exact figures. The movement is costing the public treasury many millions of dollars; it is costing the individual citizen soldiers many millions more. They went to the front believing the cry, "Your country needs you," for war service. They sacrificed advancement in their civil occupations, severed home ties, suffered, in thousands of instances, great financial loss. The less parrotic, who did not believe the cry, or believing, declined to make sacrifices, atten at home on these losses. The real purposes of the call are slowly developing. They are two in number: First, a patrol of the border to do the work which President Wilson's friend, Carranza, finds it impossible to do. Because the recognized government in Mexico is too ineffective to keep its own citizens in check and prevent them murdering Americans on American soil, the American government undertakes the costly task of doing that work for them. The murder of American citizens on Mexican soil is another matter. Carranza may go as far as he likes in that direction. Second, a purpose of the mobilization on the border and in the camps is to train citizens to perform effective military service. The regular military establishment of the nation is manifestly too small for the actual military needs. To this extent the cry, "Your country needs you," was correct. But these facts were not made clear when the call was issued. The idea was promulgated that men were needed for actual war service; not for military training. Decait was practiced. Opposing in the open legislation for universal military service, the administration by its acts has established what in essence is a system of compulsory military service. It is a system all the more vicious because it operates only against the patriot, whereas a legalized universal training system equalizes the burden of military service among all men and all classes of men. When, in 1914, Europe plunged into the greatest war of all history, and conditions in Mexico grew intolerable, intelligent men realized the fact that it was incumbent on this nation to build up its tiny regular army and put its other military resources in condition for use. National safety demanded this. And yet, in December of that year, four months after the European war began, President Wilson went before Congress and declared that all agitation for military preparedness was hysterical; that we were adequately prepared. After a while the administration changed its mind and professed to believe in the necessity for preparedness. First came an enactment to increase the regular army by 20,000. But the body of the country, and even all parts of the Democratic administration, could not change front so quickly as the head. Recruiting for the regular army lagged. Not yet have the 20,000 been secured. The need pressed. A new national defense act, providing for still more men in the regular army, was emitted. But still the men were not forthcoming. Suddenly and without warning the administration issued its call for mobilization of the citizen soldiery. It seemed still obeseed with the Bryan notion that an army could be created by presidential ukase. When the call went out the government did not own enough uniforms, shoes, socks, blankets, hats, wagons, trucks, horses, males and other things essential to equip the men called; it had made no provision for transporting the troops called to the points where they were required. Who suffered most by this amazing lack of foresight, this leaping before looking? Only the 135,000 patriots who believed that their country needed them for national defense; only the men who are making the great sacrifice. The whole disgraceful story may be summed up in the phrase, the administration has penalized patriotism. True, it is accumulating, by subterfuge, a reserve of trained soldiers, but events have demonstrated that it erased "wolf" when there was no wolf. Should it be forced to cry "wolf" again, when the wolf is at the door, what will be the result? ae? 7 (8 F 3 a ( a Quinade grows hair, removes dan-|' Get ready for the big excursion | ‘droff, 25 and 50 cente’at drug stores.-°| Peoria, IN, '\Satarday evening, Augu Ser mrt 26, via Tilingis Traction System. * Mr. and Mre.'C.

A. CROWLEY Clairvoyant, Fortune Teller Spirit Medium 6129 Eastern Ave. Wellston or Hedinment Car SCOTTS SKIN WHITENER CREAM SCOTTS SKIN WHITENER SOAP FAIR THE MARKET SCOTTS WHITENER CREAM SOAP Theodore Roosevelt sat in a box at Carnegie Hall when Mr. Hughes delivered his speech of acceptance and vigorously applauded every telling point. The Colonel repeatedly arose and bowed in response to the cheers for him and the shouts of "Teddy!" "Teddy!" "Hurrah for Teddy!", and when the meeting adjourned he made the following statement: "It is an admirable speech and I wish to call attention to the following point: "I am particularly pleased with the exposure of the folly, and worse than folly, of Mr. Wilson's Mexican policy and of the way in which this policy has brought humiliation to the United States and disaster to Mexico itself." "Moreover, I am very glad of the straightforward manner in which Mr. Hughes has shown the ridicule with which Mr. Wilson has covered this nation by the manner in which he allowed foreign powers to gain the impression that, although he used the strongest words in diplomacy they were not to be taken seriously. Not Words Which Count. "As Mr. Hughes said, it is not words but the strength and resolution behind the words which count." As Mr. Hughes pointed out, there is no doubt that if Mr. Wilson's conduct and action had been such as to make the foreign nations believe that he meant precisely what he said in his strict accountability there would have been no destruction of American lives by the sinking of the Lusitania. "When Mr. Hughes uses strong words his record shows that they are always backed by strong deeds, and therefore, in the enormous majority of cases, the use of strong words renders it unnecessary ever to have resource to strong deeds. "Again, Mr. Hughes speaks in characteristically straightforward fashion of the outrages committed on musitions plants, and all men, whether citizens of foreign nations or nominal citizens of our own land, who had in any shape or way abetted or condoned those actions can understand that Mr. Hughes, if President, will protect these domestic American interests and punish offenders against them with the fearlessness and thoroughness that he showed in dealing with the powers of evil at Albany. Brought Nation to Ignominy. "Just before coming in to listen to Mr. Hughes' just characterization of Mr. Wilson's failure to protect the lives and property of Americans in Mexico and on the high seas, I happened to pick up John Fiske's "Critical Period of American History," and was struck by the following two sentences: "A government touches the lowest point of ignominy when it confesses its inability to protect the lives and the property of its citizens. A government which has come to this has failed in discharging the primary function of government and forthwith seizes to have any reason for existing." "Mr. Hughes has pointed out in his speech with self-restraint, but with emphasis, that it is precisely this primary function, which Mr. Wilson's Administration has failed to discharge and that it is precisely this point of ignominy to which he has reduced the motion over which he is President." A POLICY OF FIRMNESS AND CONSISTENCY-NEEDED. The Nation has no policy of aggression toward Mexico. We have no desire for any part of her territory. We wish her to have peace, stability, and prosperity. We shall have to adopt a new policy, a policy of firmness and consistency through which alone we can promote an enduring friendship. We demand from Mexico the protection of the lives and the property of our citizens and the security of our border from depredations. Much will be gained if Mexico is convinced that we contemplate no maddness interference with what does not concern us, but that we propose to insist in a firm and candid manner upon the performance of international obligations. To a stable government, appropriately discharging its international duties, we should give ungrudging support. A short period of firm, consistent and friendly dealing will accomplish more than many years). If vaccination.—From Mr. Hughes speech of acceptance. AN ADMINISTRATION TOO CONTENT WITH LEISURELY DISCUSSION. I do not put life and property on the same footing, but the Administration has not only been remine with respect to the protection of American lives; it has been remine with respect to the protection of American property and American commerce. It has been too much disposed to be content with idlely discussion—From Mr. Naughton speech of compromise.

Instead of $5.00 and $6.00 --- the question God asked Adam after Adam sinned and was trying to hide himself from the presence of God. Sin always, consciously separates one from God so that the sinner ever tries to get away from the presence of the Almighty. For this reason the Bible close the Bible which brings them face to face with God. This is the PETER H. reason why some men never darken a church door; they fear that they may meet God. You know we are told that Adam tried to hide himself amidst the trees of the garden just as if material things could shut out God's view of him, if God's eye could not penetrate the trees and see Adam where he was. "The eyes of the Lord," says one of old, "run to and fire throughout the whole earth." And the Psalmist asks, "Whither shall I go from thy spirit or whither shall I flee from thy presence? If I ascend into heaven, thou art there; if I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. If I say, surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light, about me. Yes, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shimeth as the days; the darkness and the light are both alike to thee." How utterly impossible it is to get away from God. There is no way for man to escape the Almighty; neither earth nor heaven nor hell has in it a hiding place from him. Darkness cannot shut man from his vision. It may hide hellish deeds so that man may not see them, but the eyes of the Almighty not only penetrate through inky blackness but search the innermost successes of a man's being. God did not ask this question of Adam because he was ignorant of Adam's place in the garden, but he asked it to bring Adam to a realization of his sinful condition; that he might reveal himself to Adam as his savior. This same question he has been asking men down through the ages and he has been asking it for the same reason. Not always in the same words, but nevertheless the same question. He asked it of Cain when he said, "Where is thy brother?" and Cain knew himself a murderer. He asked it of Elijah, when he said, "What doest thou here, Elijah?" and Elijah knew he was not trusting God. He asked it of the woman of Samaria, when Jesus said, "Go call thy husband," and the woman knew herself an adulteress. He has been asking it of you many times and in many ways. He asked it of you when you heard the first time the story of Calvary, and every time you hear the story the same question is asked, "Where art thou?" Calvary is the great revelation of man's sinfulness and God's grace. There, as nowhere else, one sees himself a sinner and there one beholds God's provision to meet his need. He asked it of you when that great sorrow came into your life. Did you not hear him say, "Where art thou?" Not to condemn you, did he ask it, but to reveal himself unto you as your comforter. He asked it of you when your loved one left you alone. In the loneliness of your life he asked it, that you might find in him your companion. When that calamity came and all your hopes seemed blasted it was his voice that said, "Where art thou?" Didst thou not hear him, child, say this to thee, that thou mightest cast all thy care upon him who careth for thee? Deaf indeed hast thou been to the voice of thy God, if thou hast not heard his loving question. Where art thou? If thou hast heard this question and in the stillness of his presence realized where thou art and found in him thy savior, happy art thou indeed. But if he has spoken to thee in his providences, as well as his word, and thou hast—not—heard, to what pitch must his voice be raised until thou doest hear and heed? Even now in these words he asks thee, "Where art thou?" Not to condemn thee, but to save thee from thyself, thy sorrow, and thy sin. Christian's Task Not Hard To follow Christ does not of necessity involve anything new or unwonted; to be perfect in him does not always need change. There remains only to persevere in lowly obedience to what the conscience witnesses to be the calling wherein he looks to find us when he cometh forth to see how his servants have occupied their talents till he come—Rev. T. T. Carter. Although a soldier by profession, I have never felt any sort of fondness for war, and I have never advocated it except as a means of peace—U. & Grant. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (By R. E. SELLERS, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago.) (Copyright, 1916, Western Newspaper Union.) RIDT AT EPHEGUS. LESSON TEXT—Acts 19:23-41. GOLDEN TEXT—The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. I Tim: 6:10. Teachers ought to have good maps and keep before the minds of their classes both the ancient and modern names of the places Paul visited. Paul resided at Ephesus nearly three years. A.D. 53 to 56. The events of this lesson occurred about three years after our last lesson in Acts. I. The Missionary Work of Paul (vv. 1-10). How long Paul remained at Antioch after his second journey we do not know, but having passed through the "upper coast" he came to this city of Ephesus, which was an important city and a great mission field. In Revelations 2 and 3 is a list of the churches which he evangelized from this center. It was a great and effectual door-for him (I Cor. 6:9; read also Acts 20:17; 2:35). In this city Paul found a religious guild of 12 members (see vv. 2-7), whose religious experience, needed the enrichment of the Holy Spirit; a like need is ever before the Christian church. II. The Miracles Wrought by Paul (vv. 11-20). Ephesus was a center of magic and witchcraft, and special power was given Paul to work miracles which confounded the magicians in this, their stronghold. The Gospel proves its power most and best by transforming the characters of men. Deeds of love and service are the best proofs of Christianity, and these are the things which awaken heathen nations to seek after the Christian religion. But such deeds are often imitated as in this case. (See v. 13.) However, only the real spirit of Christ can work the true workings of the Gospel, and thus the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified in Ephesus. Imitation is often the sincerest form of flattery. III. The Mob's Attack Upon Paul's Work (vv. 21-41). The first result of Paul's work was the burning of the books of magic (vv. 18-20). Many who had been dupes of the magicians ceased their secret practices and declared their wrongdoings in this public manner. Literally, book after book was thrown into the fire, much the same as in Florence Savonarola, had his "bombie of vanities." Paul's wonderful success had to have its testing before he left. The Gospel "way," the way of salvation, of true living, is sure to create a stir sooner or later. Preach the Gospel faithfully and fully, and it will stir up any community. It is not necessarily a bad sign when things begin to be disturbed. It may simply indicate that the fire is getting hot. The good results of revivals do not hurt business, but they do hurt the devil. So that "big business" was intensely stirred up in the city of Ephesus. Demetrius, their leader, uttered a striking and truthful commendation of Paul (v. 26), although it was entirely unintentional. (See I Thess. 1.9-10). Demetrius does not seem to seek to controvert the preaching of Paul, or that it did not square with the word of God, but rather that it would interfere with financial considerations. The modern world is full of descendants of the Ephesian silversmiths—politicians and business interests which defend the saloon, and fairly respectable citizens who receive rents from such business, or from immoral or unsanitary properties, and who cry out against any, reform which interferes with trade and money making. There are many today who are very enthusiastic religionists if they can coin money out of it or get into an office. At this theater meeting (Paul was not present, vv. 29, 31) Demetrius appealed (1) to wealth, (2) to religion, (3) to the honor and fame of the city, and (4) he also made an esthetic appeal, (vv. 25, 26, 27). The Jews put forward one of their number, Alexander, to make a defense unto the people, and to show that they were not in sympathy with Paul and his companions in their preaching against the worship of Diana or that as Jewish Christians they did not maliciously hope to destroy the worship of Diana and the business interests of that city. Their effort, however, only stirred the mob to a larger shout, "Great is Diana of the Ephesians," which lasted for two hours. Those who yell the loudest think they are sure to prove their point, though in such a way the point does not stay proved. Paul combines fearless courage and humble common sense, and, while he fain would appeal to the mob (v. 30), he refrained. The mob must soon awaken to the manliness and spirit of Paul's soul. It was the town clerk who interfered (v. 35-41) and by skillful management quelled the excited mob. He was the temple keeper and showed that the worship of Diana was so settled in Ephephes that no company of Jews overthwow it, and that they did not have any real cause for violence.

"The Realization of a Negro's Ambitions," a new photo play, will be seen at the Rialto Skydome and the Movie Theater, Monday evening, August 21. This scenic production comes from Los Angeles, Cal. It was made by the Lineola Motion, Picture Co., a Negro Firm and was acted by an all-Colored company. The picture was first shown in Los Angeles, July 26, and Manager James went to extra expense to bring it to St. Louis so early. The picture is not a knock about, side-splitting, low burlesque, but a two-reel drama with an interesting theme. A picture of class with a little comedy and a few thrills mixed. Don't forget it. At the Rialto and Movie, Monday. A BASEBALL One of the niftiest aggregations of Colored diamond stars that ever wore uniform will meet Charlie Mills' Giants at Federal League Park Sunday, the 20th. This outfit composes the Peoria (III.) Club, which has a reputation that it will do well for Wallace and his boys to give thorough consideration before time for the conflict Sunday. If the rating of the team counts for anything, our boys will know they have not been at a Sunday picnic when the game is over. The Peorians are live wires, but there are two of them, the shortstop and center fielder, are touted to be the most promising future young players in the game. In Sunday's game, Manager Mills will use young Drake on the mound for St. Louis. This boy pitched his first game here Tuesday and shut the Kansas City Club out. He struck out 10 of the 28 men who faced him and ATHLETICS AND AMUSEMENTS By H. T. M. By H. T. M. THEATRES STRINGBEANS AND BENBOW COMPANY CONTINUES TO PACK BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER The Benbow-Stringbeans Company, in their second week at the Booker-Washington Theater, continues to pack the house at each performance. It has been many a day since this theater experienced a continuous run of S. R. O. night to compare with the present engagement. So great has the patronage been that the writer gave up all efforts to get close enough to the stage this week to make a good review of the offering. The vehicle used this week is a comedy of local atmosphere entitled."In Deep Morgan." This is preluded by an olio of specialties including a medley of chogues by the company and a composite novelty act of Baker the tumbler and Hunt the fire eating contortionist. The latter act has special scenery of oriental effect. In the playlet, of course, String beans is the main attraction with his original comedy. Baby Benbow, in blackface and Emmett Anthony, in an old-man character are well to the front in keeping up the fun. The company will close Sunday night.

The great sociological picture production, "Shoes," will be seen at the Comet Odon, Thursday, August 24. This play is based on the oft-discussed subject, "Why Girls Leave Home." Miss Mary McLaren is in the title role supported by a strong company. Daughter of a lazy, good-for-nothing novel-reading "can-rushing" father, she toiled, half-slave, behind the counter of a five and ten cent store for five dollars a week. Her shoes so full of holes that she picked up splinters in the bottom of her feet from the rough boards of the floor where she stood behind the counter—so rotten with age and wearing that they were ready to fall from the lashes that bound them around her ankles. Every Saturday she took her unopened pay-envelope home to her mother—victim of a husband's laziness and compelled to take in wasting that he might lie abed, drink beer, smoke his pipe and read novels. For three weeks her mother had promised the shop girl that she should have money to buy shoes—three times the excuse, house rent, the butcher's bill and groceries to be paid for denied the fulfillment of the promise. Finally, unable longer to quiet the surge of resentment that overwhelmed her repugnance, the shop girl—procured her own shoes and in the understanding tears of her mother the child's sins were washed away. Behold in "Shoes" the greatest sociological problem picture ever screened. Don't fail to see it at the Comet, 21st and Market, Thursday evening, Aug. 24.
