D., "The Nat- and the Great Baptist Evangelist Editor of The Palladium—Please announce the following with my title, as en above. I am now at Evanside, Ind., conducting a rousing retal meeting at the Independence Epistle Church. We are having large crowds. My subject Sunday was as follows: At 11 o'clock in the morning, the Seven Golden Candlesticks and the Seven Stars Are the Deacons of Church; at 3 o'clock, "Fret Not of Self Doers, for Tire Will you Be Cut Off." At night, "I Beheld man Coming out of Heaven as a cicle of Lightning." in my travels over this broad land and country, I find so many puzzling themes and boycotting rings until it disgusting to one that rules as a demonstrator or monarch. A Baptist minister is a moderator, or any member who is elected by the body to preach a moderator. I noticed in Indiana,inois and a portion of Missouri$^1$ that the Baptist associations have passed solutions in said association that before a church, an independent body, call a minister for their shepherd, at said church must consult with the Baptist suppliers of Baptist associations. The most illiterate member of the Baptist faith knows that such procedure as that is wrong. It is an insult to a Baptist Church. No Baptist church should step down on any such dog hair doctrines as that. Messengers have no authority whatever over the independent body or church. This power is to report the work. The sovereign power is in the Baptist Church. Jesus Christ has given her this power, and no set nor rings on men can take it away from her. The instructions are laid down in the new church directory for Baptist churches usually the deacons who are generously the pulpit suppliers of the church. Baptist usage, government and discipline teach that said officers will send a minister to come and preach a sermon to the body. After the sermon the deacons take him in the reception room of the church and ask him where his membership is and can he show recommendation from the last place he was bishop or shepherd; then ask him for permission to write to these places and, if he says yes, write; if he says no, let him alone. After they said that he is all right, the deacons recommend to the church in the deacons' message that the brother is all right. This is Baptist usage and nothing else. A Baptist minister ordained BEN MISSOURI NEGRO REPU BANQUET AND BAN Thursday at DOUGLAS HALL, H NOTICE—Banquet begins at 9 11 p. m., continuing until 4 a. m. chestra. For information phone B 50c. Admission, including banquet, Arrangements committee—I. H T. G. Williams, Wm. H. Banks. in New York is ordained for Indiana, Illinois and all of Missouri. A set of men would be very low down to try to boycott his right and authority—try to mislead the church by telling falsehoods. No association or set of men should allow themselves to be caught lowering themselves to falsehoods. We learn in the Revalators, the 21st and 22d, that all liars shall have their part in the lane of fire. I find that some men are guilty of these things, and they only carry out these schemes behind your back. I find that the evil-doers are the men who offer these resolutions in Baptist associations, and are the very guilty ones who are doing the mischief. Very often they have been ousted out of other denominations and have come into the Baptist Church to play their bullish schemes. Let the independent bodies or churches see to it that they are reversed in the new Church Baptist directory before they are ordained and understand the Baptist doctrine thoroughly, even if they come to us as a college professor. If they fight the church directory, no church ought to allow it, for the deacons of each independent body or church are the executors of the faith and the church is the executive power. The church is the sovereign power to see to it that the faith be carried out. The rules of the Baptist Church are not the rules of another denomination, bear this in mind. The origin of the Baptist Association took place some years ago for the purpose of getting at the statistics of the church. The officers of the association, when the messengers would meet, would be elected as follows: Moderator, clerk and treasurer, and when the association adjourned that was all until they met the next year. But pray, tell me what are the Negro Baptists' associations trying to do? I notice they have constitutions and it seems to me they are trying to rule the church, but that will never be while the world lasts. I am sorry to say that so many of our Colored men in the cities where I have gone are writing Colored columns in white daily newspapers. Young men, what are you trying to do? There is no such thing as an Irish, Dutch or Anglo-Saxon columns—the papers are for all. If you are not a deep thinker, think when you read. Yours very truly, A. MACK. ST. LOUIS, MO., SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1907. The question isn't can you, but will you, spend just 3 minutes of your leisure time; one to read and two to consider a proposition that no other Roller Rink, dance hall or place of amusement for colored people makes, except the Star Roller Rink at 3311 Olive St. We claim to be able to serve you better and give you more real pleasure than you can possibly get anywhere else for the same monew. Now we either can or cannot do it. If we can, your gain in pleasure will be equal, if not more than ours, and if we can't, it isn't going to cose you a cent to find it out. We know what we can do. All we want is a chance to prove it. Not at your expense, but ours. We are very anxious to secure your patronage, and with the hope of getting you as one of our regular attendants we are going to make you an unusual proposition, such as no other roller rink, dance hall or place of amusement for Colored dare make, except the Star Roller Rink, 331-13 Olive street. Now we don't ask you to spend your money at the Star Roller Rink simply because we say it will pay you better than any other place of its kind. We don't ask you to spend your money at the tSar Roller Rink because you think it will pay you best to do so; but we feel quite sure that you will willingly spend all the money that you have to spend in that way at the Star Roller Rink, as soon as you know positively that it will pay you best to do so. The skating rink business isn't a gambling scheme, nor confidence game with us. It is a gilt-edged money-making proposition, and all we want is a chance to prove it. That's all. All we want you to do is to pay the Star a visit, and see and know for yourself. You don't have to dance nor skate if you don't want to, but you will do me a favor as advertising manager by going up to the proprietors and telling them face to face just what you really think of the Star Roller Rink as a place for dancing and skating, for Colored people, by Colored business men, and if you can produce sufficient evidence to prove to them and any other gentleman of a rational mind and of good, logical understanding that the Star Roller Rink, at 3311 Olive street, isn't far superior in every way to any place of its kind for Colored people in the West, he will cheerfully hand you every cent that you and all your friends have spent during the evening, and $5 in cash and a ticket that will admit you free of all charges during the entire season. Can you beat this? Do you want a better proposition? I don't think so. The Star Roller Rink is undoubtedly the most familiar and best-known place of its kind catering to first-class people who like sweet music, and the best place to enjoy the sweet music while dancing and skating. But never mind that. It amounts to nothing to you if you don't kno wit. And if you never have visited the Star yourself, you can't possibly know how much better it is for such enjoyment. And if you have visited the Star, you can say truthfully that it is the most, if not the only, first-class place for first-class people in the city. You know it to have the finest floor, the best illuminated, the best located, the best ventilated, and, in fact, the largest and best hall for dancing or skating in the city. Now I hope you will pardon me for talking so enthusiastically about the Star, but I just can't help it. And if you could only be present once at our Tuesday night balls and our prize racing contest every Thursday night, and see our potato race, canal race and ladies' race by nearly 200 ladies and gentlemen, you could understand immediately why I can speak so boastingly of the Star. Hoping that you will think favorably of this unequaled proposition and get wise and come to the Star, I am Respectfully yours, THE ADVERTISING MANAGER.

Opening a Record Breaker—President Allen's Address—New Members of the Faculty Speak Lincoln Institute, the State Normal, Collegiate and Industrial School for Negroes opened the first term of the scholastic year 1907-1908 Tuesday morning, Sept. 3, with about 250 students present, making this the largest first day enrollment in the history of the institution. President Allen's opening address, inspired to some interest no doubt by the many tangible results of his labors as president of the institution for the last five years, during which time the growth has been phenomenal, was in part as follows: "The loyalty of these young people who assemble here, year after year, and who by their manner and worth A GREAT RECEPTION AT 702 N. JEFFERSON AVE. Last Thursday night a reception was tendered Rev. E. W. Chisel on his departure on a preaching tour through Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas. He will leave Sunday, September 15, so his friends remembered him with many useful presents. Mrs. Ida Moore Wright, of 4210 North Second street, and many of her friends were present. Among them were Mrs. Sadie Pool, of 2824 Bell avenue, and many others whom we did not know. Mrs. Chisel did all in her power to make all happy, and more so her husband, who at all times is so attentive to her. May God in his all-wise power and goodness bless and prosper the work and preaching of Rev. Chisel, is the wish of the Palladium. RECENT ARRIVALS AT THE DOUG- LASS HOTEL Mrs. J. D.

Wilson and Lewis had a set-to a few days ago. Joe Gans knocked out Britt in the sixth round. Mr. Lewis and Mr. Wilson had some words about a dusky dame on Market street. The honorable barber at once took up his man. He found him at his place of business, and without a word landed his right fist on Wilson's head, which drew the blood and staggered Wilson, but in a moment Wilson rallied and landed his right and left on the barber's eyes, and followed the same up with several body blows. He then shot out his left hand and caught the barber under the shin. The referee declared Wilson the winner. Wake up, ministers of the Gospe! If there was ever a time when duty demands it, it is today. Wage war against all that is not good for the race; advise parents to put more in their children's hearts and brains and less on their backs and in their stomachs; encourage them not to deposit all their wages in the dry goods shops, although a clean and upright body is a necessity for the abode of a lofty mind, so it is the absolute and indispensable duty of the ministers to teach and preach good character to his hearers as well as redemption and salvation. SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN UNION. The Progressive Christian Spiritual union, under the leadership of Mr. J. S. Weatherford, Mrs. M. E. Brooks and Mrs. Dukes conducts meetings every Friday evening at Masonic Temple, 2720 Morgan street.

TE NOTES. Press—New Members of the Facult in the communities in which they dwell, induce the best people of this and other states send their children to Lincoln Institute, is to me the source of great satisfaction. It demonstrates that Lincoln Institute is helping to make good citizens; that the money voted by Missouri legislators is being well expended, and that no mistake is being made in educating the Negro. We must with each year continue to show better and better results from our student body and from our teaching force."

Among the many visitors of the week we note especially the Rev. Father Brittain, Episcopal restor in St. Louis, who made a most inspiring talk and from Tennyson's magic words: "Self-knowledge, self-reverence, self-control.

There is a failure of the grape crop in Hungary. Perhaps this will cheer up the French wine growers. A scientist declares that kissing will kill freckles. Take this home and try it on your freckle-faced girl. The young woman who took her wedding trip and left her husband at home was merely starting in early to train him. Take your slate and pencil and figure it out. If the wife is the better half and a man marries three times, isn't he 50 in the hole? Paris is feeling much disturbed because its skyline is likely to be marred by skyscrapers. Paris overlooks the Eiffel tower, evidently. A Long Island woman says she would not take August Belmont's word for one dollar. Would she take one of Mark Twain's for 30 cents? To prepare the people of China for their duties under constitutional government, an imperial decree has been issued granting provincial self-government to the provinces of Pechill and Kiangsu. The Chinese are moving slowly, but that they are moving at all is the remarkable thing. John Gresham Brooks, who says that race suicide is encouraged because it costs so much to bring up children in town, should take a trip through the rural neighborhoods and explain why they are closing up some of the district schools for lack of children. People who are afraid of lightning ought to be reassured by the statistics showing that on an average only 800 people are killed in the United States each year by lightning strokes. This makes the average person's chance of being killed by lightning in any year about 1 in 100,000. Locomotive drivers in all countries are obliged to pass tests for color blindness. In Germany the drivers of automobiles are now required to submit to examination of their color vision. A color-blind chauffeur may be quite as dangerous as one who is reckless. A New York millionaire is reported to have gone to his boyhood home in Indiana, bought the old barn door on which in youth he had carved his initials, and moved it to New York, to be set up somewhere in his city house. His reminiscences must be of an unusually cheerful kind. To most men the old barn door of their youth was the drop-curtain to scenes which they do not care to recall. The gunboat Wolverine, which is said to be the first iron ship ever constructed, was present at Put-in-Bay, on Lake Erie, when the monument to Commodore Peary was dedicated there on August 5. Since that ship was built, iron has been used for bridges and buildings, displacing stone and wood to such an extent that iron making has become a far greater industry than lumbering ever was. Fashionable women in Washington are planning a hotel for cats. The women, in the kindness of their hearts, are unwilling to leave their pets without care when they go away for the summer. They think that there would be patronage enough for such a hotel to make it profitable. Boston already has an endowed cat home, not only for the care of pet cats, but for the rescue of such aged and indigent cats as have been turned loose in the world. Cooperation is invited by the mayor of Lichfield, England, in repairing the house of Michael Johnson, where the son, Samuel—the great Dr. Johnson—was born. In the house was the bookshop where proud young Samuel refused to stand behind the counter. Years later, after his father's death, Johnson made a pilgrimage of repentance to Lichfield, and with head uncovered, stood for an hour in the rain before the shop. President Buchanan had the misfortune to be in a position which required qualities which he did not possess, yet he had some fine traits. It has recently been disclosed that in 1859 a railroad company sent him a pass over its lines. He returned it with the statement that it had been the practice of his life to pay his fare because he was opposed to the whole system of granting privileges to persons not connected with the railroads. It has taken more than 4 years for this feeling to become strong enough to induce congress to prohibit the issuing of passes on interstate railroads. "About this time," as the almanacs used to say, there is always a frenzled cry for help from the harvestfields of the west. This year the same cry has been echoed from the east. Even in some parts of thickly settled New England, offers of $2.75 a day have failed to procure enough men to harvest the hay crop. Fathers whose sons feel that they are in need of new tennis rackets, golf clubs or "home gymnasium" apparatus, says Youth's Companion, should paste this bit of information in the sons' hats. IN THE SUPERLATIVE DEGREE. Little Son's Explanation Seemed to Cover the Case. Little son, aged seven, whose training has been of the most painstaking and conscientious, rather took away his mother's breath in describing the dog's game of ball. He ended with: "An I, mother, Topsy caught the ball in her mouth, and then just ran like h—!" "Like what?" cried the startled mother. "Wy, like h—. don't you know, mother?" innocently. "No, I don't believe I do. Just how is that, dear?" she asked just "Well, I don't know jus' what it means, myself," he confessed, "but it's a whole lot faster than 'lickety-split!'" BRUTALITY OF MEDICAL ETHICS. A Great Surgeon Barred from Membership in Medical Association. (From the National Druggist for June 1907.) Dr. Augustus Charles Bernays, who died a few days ago in St. Louis, was, probably, the foremost surgeon in the United States. His fame was co-extensive with the civilized world. He was not only an operator of the highest order, but a tireless and exhaustive worker in the field of original surgery. He performed the first successful Caesarian section in 1889 in St. Louis, and also the first successful coeliotomy for gunshot wound of the abdomen and the first gallstone operation in Missouri. A record held by Dr. Bernays has never been equaled: Out of eighty-one successive cases of appendicitis which necessitated operations, seventy-one in succession were with perfectly satisfactory results, the seventy-second patient failing of recovery, but the subsequent nine cases were successfully treated. And yet, with such a record, matchless as was his skill, varied and extensive as was his learning, wonderful as were his accomplishments, he was not considered, by the American Medical Association, as worthy of membership in that organization. No charges were ever brought against him which, in the remotest degree, reflected on his qualifications as a surgeon; his moral character was never the subject of attack; he was never accused of having done anything unbecoming a man or a gentleman. "The head and front of his offending had this extent—no more!" He dared to think! He refused to mold his opinions and to govern his actions by the arbitrary rules which those whom he knew to be his inferiors had set up for his guidance! In other words, he could not regard the Code of Ethics of the American Medical Association as being inspired, or having any binding authority on him where his judgment told him it was wrong. And so, twenty years ago or more, on account of some trivial infraction of this sacred "Code," a movement was started to expel him from the local association, which was only defeated by his hastily sending in his resignation. As membership in the A. M. A. is dependent upon membership in the local and State societies, his name was dropped by the national organization. And so, though he had saved thousands of lives; though other physicians had profited by his art; this brilliant surgeon; this great and able man, has, during all these years, been an outcast—a medical "scab;" not recognized as "ethical" or worthy of fellowship by that body of physicians banded together in the American Medical Association! And this is the association which, under pretense of working for the public good, is, in reality, only seeking to control Congress and the State Legislatures in the interest of their own selfish schemes; which is trying to create a Cabinet position and to place one of its members in that position; which is endeavoring by law to exclude from the use of the mails, all manufacturers of medicines who do not comply with the absurd requirements that they choose to set up; which, in short, is trying to put upon the statute books of State and nation laws that will, in effect, establish a kind of medical priesthood, to which only their own members will be eligible with power and control over the health and lives of the people! God help the druggists, the drug manufacturers, physicians not members of their guild, and the people generally, if this association ever succeeds in its undertaking. If it does, it will, after the fashion of the labor unions, dictate a "closed shop," and say to doctors who prefer to be independent, "You must join our union or, failing to do so, compel them to get out of the business. It will say what medicines shall be taken, and how they shall be made. It will hedge the people about with a lot of petty regulations under pretense of protecting the public health. In fin, a medical bureaucracy will be established to tyrannize over the people. Let no man call this a false alarm. If there are those who are inclined to do so, let them read the journal of the A. M. A. Let them scan the proceedings of the association, held always behind closed doors, and carefully edited, as they are, before they are published in its official organ. If they will do this they will see that we are not trying to-create a bugaboo to frighten their timid souls. Oldest Congregational Church The Pilgrim Congregational church, near London, founded in 1616, is the oldest of the denation in the empire, and it was from it that the London contingent of the men of the Marflower was recruited. Happenings in Missouri. Rewarded by Railroad. Mrs. Minnie Houdeshell and her husband will receive $1,000 and Frank Jackson and C. B. Aylesworth each will be given $250 for their part in saving the California limited on the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe from going through a bridge the morning of August 11 near Hart. J. E. Hurley, general manager of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe authorized by the executive department to make drafts on the treasurer for the amounts named and give them to the persons named with the compliments of the road. John Houdeshell was employed as a laborer and his wife, Minnie, as a cook by Frank Jackson, a contractor, at a camp near bridge No. 489 on the Missouri division of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe near Hart. Aylesworth also was employed at the camp. The California limited was due to pass Hart at 5:23 o'clock in the morning. About 4 o'clock the morning of August 11 Mrs. Houdeshell was awakened by a loud crash. She and the three men found that the bridge had fallen and flagged the train. When the passengers realized the danger they had escaped they immediately made up a purse of $120 and gave it to Mrs. Houdeshell. Upon arriving in Chicago all the passengers signed resolutions which were sent to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe to be transmitted to Mrs. Houdeshell. Missouri Is Growing Temperate. Missouri is Growing Temperate. There are 38 dry counties in Missouri. There are 33 counties now in which no saloon license is issued, and five counties—Greene, Henry, Marion, Newton and Pemisot—where no intoxicants are sold outside of the large cities. So one-third of the counties in the state now either have entire prohibition or a sale limited to six cities, and the latter being surrounded by dry counties. Here is a list of the counties that are entirely dry at this time, and, in fact, most of them have been dry for quite a while: Andrew, Atchison, Barry, Bolling-or Christian, Dallas, Dent, Douglas, Dunklin, Gentry, Harrison, Howell, Lincoln, McDonald, Madison, Mercer, Mississippi, Oregon, Ozark, Reynolds, Putnam, Schuyler, Ripley, Shannon, Scotland, Stoddard, Shelby, Stone, Texas, Wayne, Webster, Worth and Wright. With 38 counties absolutely dry, and five partially so, it is said the temperance move has gained quite a foothold in the rural districts. Which Class Are You In? A town that never has anything to do in a public way is on the way to the cemetery. Any citizen who will do nothing for his town is helping to dig the grave. A man that curses the town furnishes the coffin. The man who is so selfish as to have no time from his business to give to city affairs is making the shroud. The man who will not advertise is driving the hearse. The man who is always pulling back from any public enterprise throws bouquets on the grave. The man who is so stingy as to be howling hard times preaches the funeral, sings the doxology, and thus the town lies buried from all sorrow and care—Laclede Blade. From Field to Table. Here is a question for some farmer to answer: "How long would it take to transfer the wheat standing in the field into bread and have people eating the same?" This was tried once in Clinton county, in 1880, before hundreds of people, says the Andrew County Republican. The feat was accomplished in just eight minutes and four seconds. The wheat was standing in the field, and in that length of the grain had been cut, threshed ground and made into pancakes and the people were eating them. Reaching for Factories. Joplin has just completed selling its second booster addition and the Commercial club now has a working capital of $45,000 with which to secure new factories, etc. About a year ago the club platted 40 acres and within three days had placed $20,000 in the club's funds. With that money the club secured a big wagon factory, a pump factory, a casket factory and several other enterprises. Innocent Man Is Free Gov. Folk released from the penitentiary upon parole commutation Monroe Moore, a negro, who had been sent from Peniscto county for robbery. The negro was released because Attorney General Hadley and the pardon attorney, Speed Mosby, after reading the record and talking with the negro, concluded that he was not guilty. How Farming Pays. A Chariton county man's wheat crop threshed out 40 bushels to the acre and brought him more money than he paid for the land on which it grew. To Test the Five-Mile Law. The Boone county court has refused to grant a saloon license to Carl Kehr. It based its action upon the provision of the five-mile law. The petitioner will carry the case to the supreme court of the state, as the saloon interests of the town hope to make of this a test case. The case will be tried before Judge W. N. Evans, chairman of the state democratic committee, who will sit in place of Judge A. H. Waller at the October term of the circuit court of Boone county. Missouri's Greatness. Missouri's Greatness. Missouri was 86 years old last Saturday, and she is certainly the most promising commonwealth of her age in the galaxy of states, says the Brookfield Argus. Missouri really should not be classed with the "promisings," for already she has fulfilled all obligations and has surpassed expectations many and many times over. No state in the union anywhere equals Missouri in wealth and resources, artificial, and none compare with her in the matter of prospects for the future. Now the fifth state, hei strides forward are so rapid that a position near the head of the column in a few years is assured. Missouri never had a general crop failure; has $200,000,000 worth of live stock; 23 state institutions; finest fruit soil in the world; more stock farms than any other state; grows every kind of valuable grass than any other state; raises one-tenth of all corn raised in the world; one-third more apple trees than any other state; has largest permanent school fund of any state in the union; largest orchard and largest nurseries in the world; mines 50 per cent of all the zinc mined in the United States; farm land advanced 40 per cent; center of the apple, peach and berry region of the world; largest yield of cotton per acre of any state in the union; population increased 16 per cent in ten years; lowest tax rate of any state—17 cents on the $100 valuation. Missouri is larger than England and Wales and has one-eighth of the population. Some Government Land Left. Some Government Land Left. Business at the United States land office at Springfield broke all records during the month of August. The report of Receiver Duncan shows an aggregate of 29,286 acres of land disposed of. The total receipts for the month were $28,680.80, or more than $1,000 more than the previous month. The cash entries were 217 and consisted of 2,251 acres, amounting to $27,939.06. There were 53 homestead entries embracing 4,673 acres. Twenty-six final homestead entries were made comprising 2,363 acres. About 40,000 acres of government land is left in this state that is subject to cash or homestead entry. The largest tract is in Texas county and contains 700 acres. The rest of the government land is scattered and in small tracts; The greater portion is hilly and fit only for grazing and dairy purposes. The Prize Corn Story. The corn story contest is now over, the Holt Rustler taking first prize with this: We believe Holt has the whole country bested for tall corn. Why, right here on the main street of the town are to be seen two or three stalks of corn which are more than 20 feet high. You don't believe it, eh? Well, just come in and be shown. This corn is the more remarkable from the fact that is was planted by a woodpecker and has never been cultivated. It is growing in a dead cottonwood three at a height of over 20 feet from the ground. The kernels were carried to the tree by the bird and dropped beneath the bark. The wet weather sprouted the corn and it has grown about a foot tall and is still growing. Preachers Must Quit Tobacco Preachers Must Quit Tobacco. At the business session of the ninety-first Missouri annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal church at Moberly, W. D. Gese, a lay delegate who lives near Trenton, offered a resolution that afterno quarterly conference recommend to the annual conference any candidate for the ministry who used tobacco. He announced that if his resolution was adopted he would give a check for $250 as a gift to home missions.

A Joplin attorney believed he could fool his friends by masquerading as a hobo. The net result of his effort were these: One woman badly frightened, threatens to call police; another woman badly frightened, too scared she would like to call police; another woman, badly frightened, too scared to call police; one bulldog, not frightened at all. Ex-Chillicotheans- Organize. A society was recently formed at Kansas City called the Association of Ex-Chillicotheans of Kansas City. Several hundred persons in Kansas City came from Chillicothe. J.

Good roads picnics are now the thing in Missouri. But these picnics will never be a genuine success until the roads are actually secured. Chickens Were Wise. It was a queer coincident that during the Methodist conference in Moberly several ministers met and stopped to chat just in front of a gate leading to a henyard. Almost immediately there was commotion among the fowls and the owner ran out to learn the cause.

Ask Jep Howe why he left Penn- sylvania. Who is the biggest—the Republican party or J. D. Howe? How can Judge Holtkamp be quali- fied to decide the equity of a case, when he has been so unfair in his own actions ‘The Republican party of St. Louis has higher aspirations than running a reform school for Democratic rene- gades. ‘We want a manager for the Repub: licans of St. Louis, not a manipulator. More recognition for the ’ Negro voter, and less repudiated promises from the manipulator and his mane kins. Let us have a Republican in charge of the local affairs of the patty, ‘not a renegade Democrat. Put Jeptha D. Howe and all of his ilk out of the city committee; we have men of honor and truth in the party whom we can reward. Otto F. Stifel may know how) to manage a brewery, but the Rejub- lican party {s not composed entifely of saloon keepers, and can command advice from men who are not so plain- ly selfish as he has shown himself to be; and that is not saying a word about the quality of advice that he has dispensed lately. The Negro voters of St. Louis have just cause for complaint against the city central committee on account of the spirit of indifference displayed thus far toward the Negro workers {1 the Republican party. The Negroes worked hard and earnestly to elect the ticket last year, and by their ef forts the Republicans were success ful, but when the positions were dis. tributed, out of about 240 places, the Negroes were given six. During a dis. cussion between some of the commit- teemen and the chairman, Mr. Howe, as to what ‘disposition was to be made concerning the Negro applicants, | Mr. Howe remarked: “Oh, let the niggers wait; there are plenty of white men to be cared for;” and the “niggers” have been waiting ever since. Howe has shown other evi- dences that he has not purged him: self of the ideas which possessed him before leaving the Democratic party, which he did under “pressure some few years ago. To illustrate: Howe and his immediate followers on the committee arranged what he termed an outing last month, and to be cer- tain that they would not be “bothered with the niggers,” the outing was held at Forest Park Highlands, where they could be kept out, and whatever of onus there would be for such action could be shifted upon the manage- ment of the park. However, it has been conclusively proven that Howe leased the park and the attractions playing there on that date for a stip- uated amount, and had therefore en- tire control of the grounds, and con- sequently had the power to make and enforce the rules governing attend- ance on that date, all of which he did, thereby clearly demonstrating his hatred and prejudice for a class of people the votes of whom have put the Republican party in power in this city each time that the party has been suecessful in winning, and while we know that Mr. Howe is not mucit of a Republican, he is at present in charge of the affairs of that party locally, and should have more political | sense than to deliberated insult and | vilify the 10,000 Negro voters of St. cee, Coen a asec MeN eee ee petty and narrow minded he can act, it were much better for the party to relegate him to the ranks of the “has- beens,” where so many have preceded him, who were much superior to him, both as to brains.and ability. day night between the hours of 8 and ‘This week we struck from our cour- ty list forty naemes, to which we have sent the paper for over eig’c mouths, and not one cent have they paid.

Smith college of Sedalia, Mo., is in the city. He called upon his friend, Prof. B. H. Ball, of 1702 Chestnut street. Mesdames Mary Buckner and Ada Harris have just returned from their trip. They speak well of all the places they visited, but say: "I like my old St. Louis best." Misses C. White and J. Chester gave a grand reception in honor of Miss H.

They left the home at 2316 Chestnut street and marched up Lawton avenue to Beaumont street and then across to the Baptist church at Elliot avenue and Wash street. Rev. Parker, assisted by several other ministers, preached a very appropriate sermon. The beautiful ceremony of the Elks was performed by the officers of Polar Wave Lodge No. 112, led by the presiding officer, Mr. Ollie Jackson. It was one of the most impressive funerals we have witnessed for many a day. A wife, mother and many friends survive Mr. Reynolds. Much credit is due the officers of the lodge for the manner in which they conducted the funeral. Everything was as regular as clock work and many comments were passed upon the officers of the lodge. May Mr. Will Reynolds rest in peace. Anderson Russell, our noted undertaker, had charge of the funeral. 2713 LACLEDE AVE. The Little Diamond IS NOW OPEN under the management of Madame S. E.

Crews take this method of thanking their many friends in this city and elsewhere for their many kindnesses and sympathy shown them in the recent illness and death of their husband and brother, Dr. Charles F. Crews. To these friends who were ever ready to lend their aid whenever and wherever possible and to those whose sympathy was exhibited by floral designs, they tender their sincere thanks. Dr. C. F. Crews departed this life Sept. 4 and the funeral services took place at Metropolitan Church last Sunday. The church was filled to overflowing and the street was thronged with people for a block, which was strong evidence that Dr. Crews was beloved by the people of this city. All the doctors of the city were present, with but two exceptions. The Odd Fellows had charge of the body, Mr. Gus Turner read resolutions from the district grand lodge in honor of Dr. Crews, as did Dr. Curtis from the association of doctors, after which Dr. G. W. Gaines, pastor of said church, preached a very able sermon. Rev. John F. Moreland, business manager of the publishing department of the Zion church read a scriptive lesson and all received the history of Dr. Crews' short career. Mrs. Crews took her husband's death very hard. Her mother sat by her daughter's side all the while. She came from Tennessee to attend the funeral of her son-in-law. A wife, mother, father and two brothers survive him. W. C. Gordon officiated as undertaker. Thus a good and able doctor has gone to his reward. May he rest in peace. FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS. The church is getting along fairly well at present. We hope to see it do better in the future, as there is plenty of room for improvement, socially and collectively. The two sermons preached by the pastor last Sunday were indeed grand. Come out every Sunday and hear him. It seems to me that there ought to be a special day set apart in each month for brotherly confession, for the reason that there are quite a number of members who pass and repass and never speak to each other on the way. They go to church meetings seemingly with a knife up their sleeves, ready to say or do anything but that which is right; turn out, put out, or kill out, too, if they think it necessary, without any reason whatever. People with this kind of spirit best ventilated and the most artistically decorated place of amusement for Colored people west of the Mississippi River. Don't forget the prize racing contest every Thursday night. Ball need to see Jesus on this side of Jordan if they expect to ever live with Him on the other side after death. AFRICAN VEILED PROPHET The great African Veiled Prophet Abdul Menelik Ben-Hassin, at the solicitation of the Great Western Club, will visit St. Louis Monday evening, Sept. 30. He will hold his grand levce at True Reformers' hall. At 12 o'clock sharp he will present the lady elected Queen of the East with a handsome solid gold medal and a $5 gold piece. The medal may be retained for one year, or as long thereafter as she can hold it against all competitors. To the lady receiving the second largest number of votes will be given $3 in gold. The medal to be presented is now on exhibition at Mr. Wm Knight's jewelry store, Jefferson avenue, between Pine and Olive streets. The polls are now open for votes at the office of True Reformers, and will remain open until 11 o'clock on the evening of Sept. 30, at which time the counting of votes will commence. The Prophet will wear his celebrated Golconda jewels, and the entire pageant will be responder beyond compare. Ladies desiring to enter the contest may do so by entering their names at the office of True Reformers. MARRIAGE HELD A SECRET FOR SIX WEEKS. Mrs. M. E. Nichols of 1702 Chestnut street was accompanied to Chicago July 28 by her sister, Miss Lillie B. Moore, and was quietly married to Mr. P. Thomas Bowles. Mrs. Bowles is a consistent member of St. Paul Church and she is quite a business lady. We all remember her for her business qualities and financial success during the world's fair. Mr. Bowles has just returned to Chicago, where he will finish a trade. He is a graduate of George R. Smith college, and is well known in Missouri, where he has taught school for many years. He has a brother—F. S. Bowles, who also graduated from the same institution and is now a teacher of mathematics at his Alma Mater. Miss Lillie B. Moore, sister of the bride, is also a graduate of Summer High School. We wish the newly married couple success for their present and future life.

RETURNED FROM A PLEASANT EASTERN AND NORTHERN VISIT. Mrs. Charles Turnly of 2842 Laclede avenue, Misses Lydia and Hattie Diggs of 3964 Finney avenue and Mrs. Mamie Richardson had a pleasant and delightful trip. They visited one of the seven wonders of the world —Niagara Falls. Buffalo was their headquarters. They also visited Toronto, Can., and while there did not realize they were children of the black race. While in Toronto they ate three meals at one of the favorite hotels in the Dominion. At Rochester, N. Y., they attended a grand picnic, which is one of the favorite outings of the season. They met many pleasant faces in their travels and were royally entertained by Mrs. Lizzie Chase, a cousin to the Misses Diggs, who resides in Buffalo. While they were out north visiting the Palladium Man kept a close watch on things around and about St. Louis and he saw something on the part of the husband, of someone, that he will not relate at this writing.

Knights of Pythians returned home last Sunday, all elated over their honors. The Mound City company won a prize of $200. The young boys won with hands down. Oh where was the Battle Ax that went to Louisville, Ky., to contest for a prize? Answer—In the soup. It is reported that James Branch had his mustache shaved off. That is why the Battle Ax got in the soup. The Mound City company and the little boys of the K. of P. saved St. Louis from being the laughing stock of the Pythians in Louisville, Ky., last week. Why?

General Adoption of the Guimpe Dress Is Largely Responsible—Point to Remember in Ordinary Fall Costumes. Fashion seems to have gone mad in the many developments of fancy sleeves that are seen on the up-to-date frock. Never were there so many bewildering varieties; the general adoption of the guimpe dress is largely responsible for this. To-day, almost without exception, dresses and separate blouses are made with the guimpe and the more elaborate the sleeve the smarter the gown. 1 The Slashed Sleeve. Indeed, shops are showing dresses made up on long straight lines, almost void of trimming, yet with sleeves so intricate and elaborate that no one but an artist could develop them. Now we are told that with cold weather the long sleeve will invade the shops. However, for certain frocks the short sleeve will always be worn. ADVICE FROM MME. MERRI. Answers to Correspondents on Vari- cious Subjects of Etiquette. To Accept Invitations: Will Madame Merri kindly state how invitations should be accepted to teas, receptions, etc., also color and size of paper to use. SWEET MARIE. A cream-colored unruled note paper of good quality, plain or adorned with monogram, crest or street and home number with envelopes to fit exactly is always in good form. The wording of an acceptance depends much upon the way an invitation is framed. If very formal and in the third person, the reply, either an acceptance or a regret, is written in the same manner. If informal, the return reply is written in an informal manner. When to Use Finger Bowls. Kindly publish in your valuable column your opinion of the use of finger bowls and when they should be passed. Finger bowls are sometimes passed immediately after the first course of grape fruit, but the hostess usually has the fruit so prepared by loosening it that it is scarcely necessary to touch the fingers even to the outside. The most general use of these bowls is when fruit is served "au natural" at the end of a dinner or luncheon; when corn is served on the cob, and for fried chicken. They are more often used at family affairs than for strictly formal dinners. For a Birthday Party. Dear Madame Merri: I would like to celebrate my birthday which comes the latter part of October. Would it be proper to invite the boys. What shall I have for amusement and refreshment? LITTLE MELVANA. This correspondent doesn't say how old she is, but evidently the boy question is on her mind. Now I think it is always proper to ask the boys if they are little gentlemen. At that season of the year it would be nice to have an outdoor nut party with mother to serve just the right kind of refreshments, not forgetting a birthday cake and a prize or two for those who find the most nuts. Correct Table Service. When the table is cleared after the meat course which dishes are removed first? What remains on the table? After the last course should hostess ring for the maid to clear the table or does the party retire to the parlor immediately? HOUSEWIFE. The plates, then the platter, vegetable dishes, bread, olives, in fact every The fullness of the up-to-date sleeve has been transferred from the shoulder to the elbow, and now sleeves seem to droop from the shoulder, being exceedingly full at the cuff. For outer garments almost all sleeves are three-quarter length, save in the extreme tailor-made gowns calling for the full-length sleeve. The frock proper has a suggestion of an oversleeve, many of them being slashed up the outside to show the beauties of the undersleeve which is attached to the guimpe. Another pretty idea is to turn back the corners of this outer sleeve and hold them in place with tiny bows of ribbon or handsome buttons. Then again, these points are braided or embroidered. Perhaps the most popular form of undersleeve is that made of row upon row of lace ruffles. As for trimmings, buttons, tiny bows of ribbon, embroidery and braiding are at present at the top of popularity's wave. The blouse with the chemisette effect is exceedingly smart made of dark silk, trimmed with silk buttons and edged with a piping. A fancy blouse with deep lace yoke gives opportunity for the very newest style of trimming, and can be developed in heavier goods, such as lightweight cloth or heavy silk. This model is particularly becoming to a stout figure. The over blouse, or modified form of jumper, is most attractive made up in softer silks such as lousine, messaline, etc., trimmed with tiny bows, a few velvet buttons and the lace guimie. Make your sleeves in every instance just as elaborate as you please, the more so the better. Cashmere, as a material for house gowns, is again greatly in demand, and for such purposes nothing is more attractive than the shirred princess model. Put all your work on the sleeve, insert them with medallion, join them together with fancy stitches, introduce cordings, shirrings, what you will and as much as you will, and your sleeve will give your whole dress a distinct style. In making your fall clothes do not neglect the sleeves, for it is the feature par excellence of the smart frock—it tells plainer than anything else that your dress is of this season's make, and the woman never lived that didn't want to be well dressed. thing is removed except the bonbons and nuts that is if there is no salad course. If there is the olives are left, it is not necessary to ring for the maid after the last course. The hostess rises and the guests go into the drawing-room. Sometimes the men remain a half hour to smoke over their coffee. Then the latter is served to the ladies by the hostess in the drawing-room. DESIGN FOR JABOT. Fine white all-over embroidery and Vol. lace. Finding a Satisfactory Hat The woman who wears an unbecoming hat has only herself to blame, for so much latitude is there in these days that the prettiest of women often have trouble in finding a satisfactory hat. There are, however, several rules to be followed. Devote plenty of time to the selection of a shape, sit while having it tried on to your head and then survey it from every possible angle. A dip-brim will make a long nose look longer, a round hat lends width to a round face and brilliant trimming adds years to a faded complexion. Tea Gowns Are Closer Fitting. A negligee in which one may enjoy perfect relaxation and at the same time uphold the accepted canons of artistic appearance, is of shaded pink asphodel silk, the upper part of the garment is shell pink shading to a deep rose at the hem. The usual loose effect of a tea gown is entirely done away with, the soft folds are drawn into a fitted bolero of openwork embroidery which opens over a chemisette of Dalghali crepe. Long dolman sleeves of silk are edged with soft frills of crepe—Dress. MARY OBRIEN Miss Mary O'Brien, 306 Myrtle Ave., Brooklyn, N.Y., writes: "Peruna cured me in five weeks of catarrh of the stomach, after suffering for four years and doctoring without effect. In common with other grateful ones who have been benefited by your discovery, I say. All hall to Peruna." Mr. H. J. Henneman, Oakland, Neb., writes: "I waited before writing to you about my sickness, catarrh of the stomach, which I had over a year ago. "There were people who told me it would not stay cured, but I am sure that I am cured, for I do not feel any more ill effects, have a good appetite and am getting fat. So, am and will say to all, I am cured for good. "I thank you for your kindness. "Peruna will be our house medicine hereafter." Catarch of the stomach is also known in common parlance as dyspepsia, gastritis and indigestion. No medicine will be of any permanent benefit except it removes the catarrhal condition. Gained Strength and Flesh. Miss Julia Butler, R. R. 4. Appleton, Wis., writes she had catarch of the stomach, causing loss of sleep and appetite, with frequent severe pains after eating. She took Pernua, her appetite returned, she gained strength, flesh and perfect health. A Horse's Good Fortune. A spiritualist came to our house some time ago and claimed to be able to locate our lost friends if we desired. We had an old horse which we had sold years ago and my mother wanted to know where he was. Mother began: "We had a very good friend who always did all our work. He passed from us several years ago and the last we heard of him was that he was in Los Angeles. I would like to know if he is still living." The spiritualist made certain motions and knocked on the table and then said: "Your friend is in Los Angeles and is married to a rich young woman."—Judge. Why Advertising Pays. "You will be pressed for money oftener because you have no advertising bills to pay than because you have," observes the Buffalo Nex "Big advertising bills and big bank balances grow, together, out of the same publicity campaigns." The manchant who holds down his expense count by cutting out advertising save money just the way the railroad would if they should stop buying coal for their locomotives. Without coal the wheels won't turn; without publicity trade comes to a standstill. It pays to throw silver out of the window that gold may come in at the door. After a Raise. "What makes him look so solent He gets his month's salary to-morrow." "That's just the trouble. His wife and his mother-in-law allow him 6 cents a week out of it, and he's trying to make up his mind to strike for dollar." FAMILY FOOD. Crisp, Toothsome and Requires N Cooking. A little boy down in N. C. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their family. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Marvel of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She says: "They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While I was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about 10 pounds and felt so well that when I turned home I began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly. "My little 18 months old baby shook ly after being weaned was very ill with dyspepsia and teething. She was sick nine weeks and we tried everything. She became so emaciated that it was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. One day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk. "Well, it worked like a charm she she bogan taking it regularly and the provvement set in at once. She is now getting well and round and fat as fast as possible on Grane-Nuts. as possible or grape-nuts. "Sometime ago several of the family were stricken with LaGripe at the same time, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges. everything else nauseated us. "We all appreciate what your mous food has done for our family." "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville." in pkgs. A. N. K.-B (1907-37) 2155. TOLD HIM THE TRUTH. Dad's Indignation Got the Better of His Judgment. An old German farmer, who resided in one of the rural districts of the state of Iowa, was the father of a half-witted boy, whose lack of intellect was the cause of no little anxiety and solicitude on the part of the paternal parent. "Dot poy Shon," he was heard to remark in the course of a conversation with a neighbor of like Teutonic origin, "he iss not ferry bright, aber I can't want you to tell him because I can't vant him to know it." Meanwhile the young hopeful was driving through the barnyard with a load of hay, which in attempting to turn a sharp corner he unfortunately upset. The old man immediately became highly indignant. "Shon!" he bellowed in a voice of thunder, "you iss a plame fool, you always vass a fool, you always vill pe a fool, you not know noddings."—Judge's Library. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, owe much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Products of Ton of Peat. By experiments recently made at the Institute of Technology one ton of peat taken from a bog within 20 miles of Boston produced 100,000 feet of gas, 15 gallons of tar and five gallons of paraffin, and it is claimed from the six per cent. of ash innumerable by-products could be obtained.

He that loves God loves all that is good, and hates all that is evil. (2) He is not only good, but lovable. His goodness is attractive; it is worthy of love. (3) All we have and are we owe to him; and the only way in which we can make any return is to love him and obey him in love. That is all that is ours to give; to withhold it is unutterably mean. (4) "The best thing in man is love, and God wants the best." (5) Such love not only honors God, but elevates man. Love is the most ennobling act of the soul; and the nobler and higher the object, and the more intense the love, so much the more is the one who thus loves ennobled, purified, enlarged, exalted in nature. (6) In him are found all that ought to move the highest affections of men. The Foundation of Religion, of Character, of Righteousness, lies in a right heart, a heart that loves God and loves men. No act of goodness without this is true goodness. And men will not long continue to do right toward all without this deeper motive. This love is not national, but individual. Each heart must do the loving, and when all hearts do it the whole nation will have this heart of love. He that has this love in his heart has the fountain and source of all virtue. It is to the life what the mainspring is to a watch, what a fountain is to a stream, what the soul is to the body, what the two olive trees of Zechariah's vision were to the lamps they fed. This is what faith in Christ brings to the soul. The one great essential, both for the individual and the state, is a new life in the soul that supremely loves the good and hates the evil. This is the one way to the best life here and hereafter. The state is made up of individuals, and, therefore, if every one had this new life the whole state would be free from its corruptions and crimes. The newspapers would give us the morning news of good deeds, instead of its flood of crimes and wrongs. Education in Religion and Righteousness.—(7) "And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children." In every way, by home instruction, and by schools, and by sabbath worship and teaching. "And shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house," etc. The atmosphere of the home shall be full of these truths. Men will speak often of that which is of the greatest interest. Conversation is a marvelous power for culture and training. The events of the day, the deeds of ourselves and of others, can be made the occasion of moral instruction, in a concrete and vivid form. They are to great moral principles what the particles in the air are to the light, which would be generally invisible but for the objects which reflect and disperse it. The home is in its nature a university. It is a large part of the true "university extension" movement. Family Training is the greatest influence around the young. Family Religion is the foundation of church, of Sunday school, of religious life, of the whole country's morality and prosperity. Family Prayers are a great aid to family religion, and the International Lessons for the whole family are one of the greatest helps to this end. The Family Atmosphere, of religious life, of benevolence, of temperance, of kindness, of intelligence, of bright conversation, is the largest factor in family training. (8) "Thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand," etc. It was a literal and formal interpretation of this command which led to the use of phylacteries upon the arm and upon the forehead. These are small cubical leather cases, in which are parchments containing four passages of scripture in four columns (Ex. 13: 1-10, 11-16; Deut. 6: 4-9 and 11: 13-21). These are bound upon the arm and between the eyes by leather thongs. The real meaning of this command is that God's law should be in every deed of the hand, in the sight of the eyes, in the plans of the head. Every part of the daily life should be ruled by God's law. It should never be forgotten. Practical Points. The way to get the revival of righteousness we so much need is by a revival of true religion, a revival that changes the heart, a revival of love to God and love to man. As Herbert Spencer said, "Golden conduct does not proceed from leaden instincts." What Charles Kingsley says of England is true of our land as well. "Men say 'As long as England is ahead of the world in coal and iron, she may defy the world.' I do not believe it, for if she became a wicked nation, all the coal and iron in the universe would not save her from ruin." CASTORIA For Infants and Children.

The earl of Surrey, afterward eleventh duke of Norfolk, who was a notorious gourmand and hard drinker and a leading member of the Beefsteak club, was so far from cleanly in his person that his servants used to avail themselves of his fits of drunkenness—which were pretty frequent, by the way—for the purpose of washing him. On these occasions they stripped him as they would a corpse and performed the needful ablutions. He was equally notorious for his horror of clean linen. One day, on his complaining to Dudley North at his club that he had become a perfect martyr to rheumatism and tried every possible remedy without success, the latter wittily replied: "Pray, my lord, did you ever try a clean shirt?" CASE OF ECZEMA IN SOUTH. Suffered Three Years—Hands and Eye Most Affected—Now Well and Is Grateful to Cuticura. "My wife was taken badly with eczema for three years, and she employed a doctor with no effect at all until she employed Cuticura Soap and Ointment. One of her hands and her left eye were badly affected, and when she would stop using Cuticura Soap and Ointment the eczema came back, but very slightly, but it did her a sight of good. Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is entirely recovered. She thanks Cuticura very much and will recommend it highly in our locality and in every nook and corner of our parish. I. M. Robert, Hydropolis, La., Jan. 5 and Sept. 1, 1906."

I spent two nights and a day on your ranch, and while there I was in the Musgrove, Brown, Turkey Creek, Muley cow and Frenchman pastures, and made as complete an examination of the property as I could within the limited time that I had to spare. I consider your land the best body of land that I have seen in Southwest Texas, and I have looked over considerable land in Texas. I was agreeably surprised at the quality of the soil on this ranch. It was much better than I expected to see, and I consider it a most favorable opportunity for a poor man to get a good home. The soil is what I would call dark and red chocolate loam, with occasionally a little sand, which I consider a benefit in some respects, rather than a hindrance. I have been engaged in farming and ranching about all my life, and have had much experience in raising alfalfa in Kansas and Oklahoma, in which is no question that I land on your ranch is especially adapted to the successful growth of alfalfa, which I consider the most valuable farm crop that any farmer can raise. While in San Antonio, I saw fresh alfalfa hay on the wagon, and it was selling for $17.00 per ton, loose hay. With the long seasons you have in Texas, and proper irrigation, you should get at least seven or eight cuttings of alfalfa a year off this land, and there ought to be a yield of at least a ton to the cutting. I saw the large artesian well at the Headquarters ranch, and I must say it is the finest artesian well I ever saw, and is fully up to your representations in the market. If the land is underlain with artesian water, as I am satisfied it is, I do not see why alfalfa and all other crops grown upon that land cannot be made a success. I consider that you are giving the people a great opportunity to secure cheap homes. As far as I have seen, I am perfectly free to say that you have represented your property fairly, and that the description you give of it in your literature is not overdrawn. If you desire it, you have my permission to refer any persons inquiring about this land to me, and I will be very glad to answer any inquiries made of me with reference to it. I appreciate the kindness extended to me while on the ranch. With best wishes, I remain, Yours truly, C. E. HULIT.
