The St. Louis Argus Washington, District of Columbia.—The cabin which was Lincoln's first home, now standing on its original site near Hodgensville, Ky., became the other day the property of the nation. A man who sees it, and later sees the completed great marble memorial to Lincoln on the bank of the Potomac at Washington, will have seen typical edifices of the most, symbolic career yet known to the republic. The one is ten logs high on a side; is plastered with soil, and has an outer chimney of logs, sticks and mud. The other is to cost millions; be made and adorned by artists of distinction; and become, next to Mt. Vernon, the home of Washington, the most frequented of all American civic temples. What enduring monuments these are, not only to Lincoln, but to the 10,000-000 Black men and women and children in America—it was because of the Emancipation Proclamation that Lincoln will longest be remembered. J. MILTON TURNER'S WILL CONTESTED Mr. J. S. Young, of Ardmore, Okla., is in St. Louis looking after the estate of the late J. Milton Turner. Two days were spent taking depositions in the office of Attorney Crittenden Clark, 1403 Market St. It was learned that the will of Mr. Turner is being contested by his relatives. THE INVINCIBLE CONCERT The people of St. Louis had an opportunity of witnessing one of the high class entertainments at Union Memorial last Monday night, September 25, and quite a large crowd took advantage of it by being present. The very first number rendered by the company was an index to a good entertainment that was to follow. throughout the evening each number seemed better than the one preceding. Messrs. Johnson and Makey, the two blind men, command the admiration of all who hear them. They are good. In the meanwhile, Mrs. Johnson and her daughter come for their part. Prof. J. W. Cooper is no stranger to amusement lovers in St. Louis, he having appeared recently at the Booker Washington Theater, as the "World's greatest ventriloquist." There are no dull moments during his performance with his Manikin. Dr. Abbott, pastor of the church, worked hard and gave them a good entertainment in return. JOHN WYATT DROWNS Sergeant John, Wyatt, of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, Co. H, son of Mrs. E. O. Wyatt, nephew of Mrs. B. J. Carruthers, Mrs. B. E. Alexander and Mr. Loyd Archer, formerly residents of St. Louis, was drowned in Austin, Texas, September 23. Body will be shipped to Chicago for interment. Y. W. C. A.

MEN'S MEETINGS OF Y. M. C. A BEGIN SUNDAY WEEK From reports that come from the Colored Department. Y. M., C. A. it looks like the "I Will Club" which has recently been organized is going to be a winner. The "I Wills" are planning to pay in on their subscriptions, or to collect from subscribers a certain amount by an early date in October.

A strong list of speakers has been secured, among whom is Mr. Clarence Howard, president of the Commonwealth Steel Co., Judge Selden P. Spencer, Archdeacon, Jas H.

Wilkins, Mr. and Mrs. Packard, Miss Cora Hill, Miss Mackey, Mesdames Brolla Williams, Bettie Lems, Mary Smith, Laverta Hutt, Anna Sydnor and thirty children of the Union Memorial Church Sunday-school visited us, bringing song and sunshine to our old hearts. In the religious services led by Mr. Geo. B. Jones, Mr. Wilkins delivered a message from the Master, and the children made our hearts light with beautiful songs. The sight of so many dear little ones of our race took us back many years ago, when some of us had little ones of our own, and we, too, were a part of the busy world. Oh, it was a glorious day. Through the solicitation of Mrs. Geo. B. Jones, Mr. C. H. Horton, the druggist, donated three gallons of ice cream, which we greatly enjoyed. We are so grateful to know that we are not forgotten, thanks to the efforts of our dear missionary workers, and we want you, Mr. Editor, and your many readers to know that we are thankful.

When we contemplate industrial and commercial conditions we see that we are living in a fool's paradise. The temporary prosperity to which our opponents point has been created by the abnormal conditions incident to the war. With the end of the war there will be the new conditions determined by a new Europe. Millions of men in the trenches will then return to work. The energies of each of the now belligerent nations highly trained, will then be turned to production."—Charles E. Hughes. "WORDS, OR DEEDS?" "If anything in this campaign is real it is that we are now facing the question whether we want words or whether we want deeds; whether we want that which is written and spoken, or whether we want American action in the interests of the American people, worthy of the American name, maintaining the American honor, and buttressing the prosperity of the United States."—From Mr. Hughes' speech at Chicago. NO MEXICAN POLICY. "We cannot let the American spirit fall so low that, lapped in the luxury occasioned by a foreign war, we shall see American lives sacrificed without a determination to prevent it and to make the American name honored and respected wherever our flag files.

BROTHERHOODS WIN, FARMERS' WIVES LOSE Democrats Unctuously but Vainly Flatter Themselves That Tillers of the Soil Believe Their Bunk Uplift Laws Will Improve Agricultural Conditions. FARING WORSE THAN LOWLIEST RAILROAD HAND Plight of Women Laborers in the Fields Described by President Pope of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers' Union as More Deplorable Than During the Days of Slavery, and Yet Not a Word Was Spoken in the Last Congress, Which Is Boasting of its Farm Legislation, About the Woman Who Rakes the Hay and Gathers the Sheaves. That the increase in pay of members of the four railroad brotherhoods, caused by the enactment of the eighth-day law by Congress, will rest ultimately upon the farmer was asserted by Henry N. Pope, newly elected president of the Association of State Presidents of the Farmers' Union, in a statement issued by him. Mr. Pope declared that the farmers of the country stand for a fair wage for both labor and capital and favor an eight-hour working day, but that he personally doubted the wisdom of Congress fixing wages for labor employed by private enterprise. "I doubt," said he, "if it is in the interest of either labor, capital or the people to make the wage schedule of railroad employees a political issue." The condition of the farmers of the country is worse than that of the most lowly railroad laborer. Mr. Pope stated, with an average farm income of only $1.47 a day, out of which must be paid the expenses of the family. The condition of women laborers in the fields he describes as worse than during the days of slavery. Not a Word for Farmer "Not a word has been spoken by Congress in defense of the woman who rakes the hay and gathers the sheaves," said Mr. Pope. "Little has been done that has increased the income of the farmer or enabled him to pay a higher wage to his laborers. "But today we find the highest paid laborers in the world, making three times more money than a farmer, demanding twenty-five per cent increase, and Congress hastening to their relief. This increase must, in the end, rest upon the back of the farmer and will reduce his income, increase his hours of labor, and call for another levy of farm mothers from the home to the field. "The farmers of this nation must fight to hold what they have and to get what is rightfully theirs from the government. We must do it through organization." Mr. Pope stated that by the enactment of the eight-hour day law Congress had thrust upon the people of the country a new responsibility and organized labor now stands committed to the principle of government regulation of wages. The government, he said, should fix wages for all classes of railroad employees and should have the power to decrease as well as to increase wages to remedy comparative inequalities. "In my opinion," he continued, "the next session of Congress should readjust the wages of all railroad employees, from railroad president to section laborer, giving all a square deal and fixing a schedule of pay based upon business justice and human rights. I submit a schedule of wages taken from official government reports which presents conclusive evidence of the inequalities of the present daily wage scale of railroad employees: "General officers, $16.11; other officers, $6.49; general office clerks, $2.53; station agents, $2.37; other station men, $1.89; enginemen, $2.28; firemen, $3.23; conductors, $4.49; other trainmen, $3.11; all shopmen, $2.37, and trackmen, $1.00." Mr. Pope declared that the foregoing schedule showed that the 350,000 section hands in the country were condemned to a life of poverty. He said he believed that Congress, having undertaken to regulate the wages of higher paid employees, should review their wages.

We are glad that the war did not take place, we regret that several bloody engagements happened, but our regret is greatly lessened by our admiration for the heroism and manliness displayed by the peerless 10th Cavalry at the battle of Carrizal. "The Noble Six Hundred" of Balaklava, in their deeds of heroism were met and surpassed by the Black 10th. These changes in Negro pluck and prowess will be rung for many years. They will make many a Negro heart beat high for the flag and human brotherhood. While we say that we are glad to see our troops coming home, nevertheless, had the war sprung upon us, it would have busied such men as Vardaman, Gillman, Heflin and Blease in getting down to Mexico to fight Carranza and thus given the American Negro a breathing spell. NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN NEGRO When the republican party comes into power on this pending election, we need bestir ourselves, especially should the Negro of the North join heartily with the Negro of the South on insisting and even demanding that the republican party, shall see that clauses in the American Constitution against lynching, segregation, jim-crowism and disfranchisement be applied.

The money as we used for building and improvements. I understood that the Board needs money, for building purposes, that the children may the Board might do without waiting for the attention to the need of a building for the neighborhood of Fairfax and Finney A One thing the Board might do without waiting for the bond issue, is turn its attention to the need of a building for the Colored children in the neighborhood of Fairfax and Finney Avenues. This would relieve the congested condition at Simmons school. If the Board has not the money to erect a new building, we would suggest that the portable on Cottage Avenue be removed to the Fairfax location. There better arrangements, and better conveniences for the small children can be made. If portables are to be used, why not put them in the most convenient place for the most children. It will cost a very little more, and it is the duty of the Board to relieve the present condition at the Cottage Avenue school.

Wilson has been rebuked by his own party in New Jersey in turning down a candidate for the nomination for United States senator who was his choice and who had nominated him twice for the presidency. The Adamson law is acting on Wilson like a boomerang. It is the coming back, or the rebound, of a blow that will determine its force. Wilson can't dodge it. It is bound to hit and hit him hard, too. The Underwood tariff law did not, as promised, reduce the cost of living. It is one of the Demoeratic dismal failures. Prices are higher under the Underwood tariff law than ever before.

Since in the city of St. Louis, about two years, he has appeared in some of the largest churches and balls in the city, with band, orchestra and choral societies. A special course of instruction will be given each scholar in theory, regardless of what instrument they study. Come at once and get your schedule arranged. Special arrangements will be made for children who are in school; also for adults who are busy during the day, lessons can be arranged for at night.

All ladies playing wind, brass or string instruments are requested to meet Mr. Austin as soon as possible at his studio. All scholar's time can be arranged by phone or in person. The piano teaching in this conservatory is under the direction of Miss Marie Harris, who is widely known in this city being born here, and having received her musical education here principally. For several years she conducted a piano studio here with great success. She has served as a successful pianist in the large churches, the high school, and many large concerts in this city, both as a soloist and accompanist.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to send an expression of thanks and gratitude to our many friends, for their sympathy and kindness shown us through the soul trying period which we are now passing, having suffered the loss of our darling daughter, Mayelle, who died at Nashville, Tenn., on the 8th inst., she having survived her sister, Ladelle, just two months and two days. During that short period, she often spoke of sister. Her grief was so severe until she seemed to find no pleasure in life and often expressed a desire to see her sister. At eight o'clock she told her uncle good night, looked at the moon and said it was beautiful, turned to her mother, put her arms around her neck, kissed her and said, "I love you, mother," and smiled. But while she still smiled, an angel loosened the cord of her life and while mother still held her to her bosom saving, "I love you, too, darling," her soul new away and joined that of her sister's. There they shall wait for mamma and papa to come to join in a family circle. There we shall live with God forever. For this cause we thank God and in the house of sorrow we thank our friends again. And to our darlings that are gone we say: Sleep, little darlings, take thy rest Mother will come to thee soon; Rest, rest on Jesus' breast; Father will join thee soon. Sleep, sleep we shall all rest soon In our home beyond this vale of tears. Sadly missed by father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Nabors, 1715a Goode Aye. CARD OF THANKS I wish to, thank my many friends for their kindness and sympathy shown me; also the beautiful floral offerings in my sad bereavement in the death of my daughter, Mary Morris, who departed this life September 10, 1916. I especially thank Rev. B. G. Shaw and Rev. Dooley for their consoling words. (Signed) Mrs. Carrie Morris, Mother.

RALSTON Secretary of Correspondence Department, Middlebury Institute of Chicago TEXT—Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the holy calling, consider the apostle and bishop priest, the apostle, Christ Jesus; who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was faithful in all his house—Heb. 2:1, 2 Man may lack nearly all the virtues that are ordinarily prized, but if he pressed, but if he retains just the virtue of faithfulness he cannot be overlooked. If he add to the other virtues that of faithfulness he at once goes to the front. PETER H. We may note that the faithfulness of Jesus Christ had something in view every moment—the commission of him who had appointed him. He had come to do the father's will and he never for a moment let that drop out of sight until he was ready to say. "I have finished the work that thou gavest me to do." Every man that thou gavest me to do. If he keeps in view the one who gave him the appointment, he will not fall. Jesus Christ realized every moment that he was an apostle, that is a "sent one," and he carried out his work as sent to be the high priest for his people, viz. to make a reconciliation of men to God, in short to make their redemption complete. This faithfulness of Jesus Christ was compared with the faithfulness of those who was declared to be "fatfulness in all his house." Nothing omitted as far as human scrutiny could go, but the faithfulness of Jesus Christ was greater—not so much in the quality of it—but in that he was faithful to the son in his own house, whose house we are. Here, as in other qualities of the high priest, Jesus was better than man or the best of men. It is in this faithfulness of Jesus Christ that the believer has the guardy of his ultimate salvation. While man must not forget that he must hold fast to the "confidence and rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end," with emphasis must always be placed on the fidelity of the Redeemer. Paul was confident that he that had begun a good work in him would perform it, or perfect it, until the day of Jesus Christ. To him Jesus was looked upon as taking hold of a man and guaranteeing his salvation. It is not presumption to look upon Jesus as undertaking the redemption of a man and believing that he will complete the work. It is very rarely that you find a Christian man or woman who is instrumental in bringing a man to the Lord who is faithful, and the believer might from two standpoints do well to think of Jesus as faithful to him. Sometimes when he is in the way of temptation and Jesus is having a hard time to hold him; sometimes when a man is really doing his best with tremendous opposition, Jesus is near at hand keeping him from falling. This faithfulness of Jesus is something in which we may all share. As we look upon men we find many of them possessing the talents that we do not possess. They have splendid physiques, fine personalities, good voices, high intellectual attainments, guavity and many other qualities, and as we look at ourselves we find ourselves to be utterly lacking, and such as we have are very inferior, and so we despair of making a mark in connection with them. There is another thing about the faithfulness of Jesus that completes our confidence; his faithfulness is coupled with transcendent ability. Paul again comes to us and says: "For I know in whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day." There was a day when Paul committed his eternal salvation to Jesus Christ. He left it all in the hands of Jesus; he trusted him as faithful. At that time Paul did not know much about the ability of Jesus but now, near the end of his life, after the lapse indeed of many years, we know that he has tested Jesus and his testimony is that not only was he faithful but that he was able. We cannot doubt but that Paul had many hard battles, and as he was passing through some of them it would seem that he must fall, but just as he was going down Jesus held out his strong hand and delivered him. "That day" was not far distant to Paul although it has not arrived yet, but Paul knew that his eternal interests were safe in Jesus because he had tested him for so long. Paul knew that God was rich in glory and could supply all his needs, as he wrote to the Philippian Christians. To every man that has a serious thought about the salvation of his own soul Jesus Christ is presented as a mediator between God and man, in the position of the high priest, and he has three qualities that are absolutely necessary to the completion of that work. First, he has the ability to do it; secondly, he has the willingness to do it; thirdly, he has the faithfulness to do it. (BY M. O. SELLERH, Acting Director of the Sunday School Course of the Moody Bible Institute, Chicago). (Copyright 1915, Western newspaper Union.) LESSON TEXT—Acts 23 GOLDEN TEXT—They shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith Jehovah, to deliver thee—Jer. 1:19. The stirring events of this lesson occurred in the Castle Antonin and the Sanhedrin hall, near the temple court of Jerusalem; also in Caesarea, the Roman capital of Juden; on the Mediterranean coast, in the year A. D. 57, just at the close of Paul's third missionary journey. The lesson pictures two successive days of strange adventures in which Paul was concerned, a narrow escape and the unexpected providences used in his deliverance. The day was inaugurated by Paul's magic words, "I am a Roman citizen," which caused the commander, Lysins, to release him from the threatened scourging, and made him more than ordinarily careful in his treatment of Paul. 1. Before the Elders (vv. 1-12). By referring back to chapter 21, v. 13, we find the charge which really underlay all of Paul's trouble, his preaching in the name of the Lord Jesus. Paul's defense is interesting. He gives us a rehearsal of his Christian life, laying emphasis upon its blamelessness and the fact that he is not an apostate Jew. The high priest speaks to silence him, but not gently. Although Paul for a moment seems to give way to his justifiable indignation, he quickly reveals his reverence for the rulers of the people. He then divides the sanhedrin. Read carefully chapter 22:6:7, and compare with verses 17 and 18. The sanhedrin could not explain this testimony of Paul, and were seeking to put aside the whole question. An interesting discussion would be to consider the insult to Paul. Was his indignation right and rightly expressed? Another question, the matter of Paul's apology. Just for what did he apologize? Is it ever wrong to speak evil of rulers? These were indeed days of stress and storm. Was Paul justified in dividing the sanhedrin in order to conquer their opposition to him? Again, how God used these incidents in the furtherance of the gospel is a suggestive lesson for us all. It has been hinted that Ananias was not in his priestly garments, and therefore perhaps not readily recognized by Paul. Paul may never have seen him, as he was elected high priest after Paul had left the council. It is interesting to note that it is not said that anyone struck Paul or that Paul did not apologize for his words or deny them to be true, but only for their being spoken to the high priest. Read in this connection what Christ said to the Pharisees (Matt. 23:27). Paul apologized because he had broken the law found in Exodus 22:28. In the trial of Christ one of the officers struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, whereupon Jesus answered him, saying: "If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil, but if well, why mistest thou me?" On the other hand, when Jesus was ill-treated by the common soldiers, he opened not his mouth. II. The Plot and Deliverance (vv. 12-35). Paul's prospect was not a pleasant one. In his darkness God appeared to his faithful servant to cheer him (v. 11). Perhaps Paul was tempted to think he had made a mistake in coming to Jerusalem over the protests of his friends, but evidently the Lord heartily approved of his testimony there. A dangerous conspiracy was forming against him, but God was, as he always is, beforehand with his comfort and preparation for the crisis. We have often speculated as to what became of the forty men who entered into it (See v. 12)—whether they actually lived up to their oath. If they did, they must have died of starvation. They were determined men, willing to go any length, and fancied they were doing the will of God. There is no more dangerous man than he who fancies that he must be the judge as to who are God's friends and who are his foes, and that he is the appointed executioner of God's judgment. The plot was well laid, and seemed certain of success, but it failed miserably. (See Psalm 2:1-4; 64:1-10; Isaiah 41:10). The wicked, who leave God out of their plans, no matter how cunningly they plot, are doomed to failure (Rom. 8:31). These plotters co-operated with the priest. Ecclesiastics have often descended to the lowest villainy. Men are not murdered today, though their reputations are often blasted by unprincipled and bellishly impelled professed followers of the lowly Nazarene. Paul had friends in this city. His nephew's discovery and revelation, and the Gentile soldier, a colonel, offered his deliverance. In the boy's heart there must have been great admiration for the uncle. It would be well for teachers of boys to have them repeat in their own language this boy's story. Paul was not safe in Jerusalem. The Roman governor recognized the nature of the conspiracy, and the desperate character of the Jewish fanatics, and therefore sent him under a strong guard to Caesarea, which was reached after a journey on horseback, lasting through the night and the full lawning day.

THEATRES REVIVAL OF OLD JOKES VIE WITH NEW NOVELTIES AT BOOKER WASHINGTON Another good show, with plenty of novelty, is pleasing the Booker Washington Theater goers this week. Gertie Moore, a trapeze performer, opens the show. This act consists of difficult feats in mid air on trapeze and rings. The performer, among other things, hangs by head from a ring, by teeth from the end of a rope, and does several contortions. "Gertie" proves to be a man when he removes his wig. Pugh and Pugh, after an absence of a couple of years, are going good although they, are singing old songs and cracking old jokes. The lady has an excellent voice and the man is a comical eccentric. Jack Fine, a monologist, is original and eccentric. His jokes are full of humor, his soft shoe dance artistic, and acrobatic dance is a big hit and his buck dancing on roller skates is a knockout. Walker and Brown, another mixed team, also offer a line of old jokes, but succeed in keeping the house in a humorous vein. Both are good singers and dancers and offer considerable originality that is justly rewarded with applause. S. H. Dudley and his mule are the headliners with "The World of Prolics" company at the Gayety Theater this week. Henri Bowman is resting in St. Louis this week. Miss Burnett is at her home in Columbus, Ohio.
