MODERN GREEKS ARE BRAVE RACE Former Cornell President Tells of Experiences. Professor Schurman Impressed With Bravery and Valor Displayed in Most Recent War—Country Has Doubled in Area and Population—Progress Due Largely to Excellent Soldiers. New York. - Jacob Gould Schurman, former president of Cornell university, relates his experiences as minister to Greece and Montenegro, which culminated in his catching the last train out of Sofia when the Bulgarian capital was shut off from the outside world. He has just terminated his mission. "I arrived at Saloniki from Sofia," he said, "on the evening of the second day of the first great battle between the Greeks and Bulgarians, the battle of the Kilkis. All the trains from the north were bringing in wounded soldiers, and every cab in the city was impressed for transporting them to hospitals. I had to walk to my hotel and I came into my trunks. Next day I learned that 2000 soldiers had been brought in, and official reports after the third day of the battle said that 10,000 Greeks had been killed or wounded, while the loss to Bulgaria was still heavier. "The fate of Bulgaria is tragic. I talked with the prime minister three days before the fight began. Bulgaria JACOB GOULD SCHURMAN might have had from her allies with scarcely a word of controversy all Turkey in Europe from Techatlaja and the Black sea as far west as the Vardar river, with the exception of Salonik and a small bit to the north. But, although this was the larger share of the spoils, Bulgaria wanted more. She insisted that western Macedonia, which the Greeks and Servians had taken from the Turks, should be turned over to the Greeks, and she added the addition of territory she not only failed in that undertaking, but lost a large part of the territory east of the Vardar river which the allies would willingly have assigned to her in the beginning. "As a result of the war with Bulgaria, Greece and Servia gained a large portion of that territory on the western side and the Turkish forces moved northward to Adrianople and well up to the Aegean sea. After fighting two gregorians, spending hundreds of millions of soldiers, she moved many thousands of soldiers Bulgaria itself impoverished, with only a fraction of the additional territory which would have come to her without effort or cost prior to her war against the allies. "Greece has practically doubled her area and population. Her success has been due to the valor of her soldiers, the militarily genius of King Constantine and the capable administration of Prime Minister Venizelos. She had insisted the role at the beginning of the 125th anniversary of the field. She actually had 250,000, and this number she retained in the war with Bulgaria. "I think the modern Greek soldiers were as brave and heroic as their ancestors who fought at Marathon and Salamis. King Constantine. I suppose, is the one monarch in the world capable of leading the armies of his country in war. Prime Minister Venizelos is one show" himself as a warman and administrator of the first rank. We have active in one of the great countries I have no doubt he would be a dominant international character." Hog and Dog Are Chums. Dog and Dog are Chums. Gulfcoff Mo—At Sunnyshire farm, near here is the largest hog in Mis- souri. It is the Poland China breed and weighs 70 pounds and is seven feet five inches long and three feet four inches high. The smallest part of its leg is eleven inches in circum- ference. The hog, which answers to the name of "A Wonder's equal," is gentle. His friend is a tiny dog, which visits the lot every day, where he leaps upon the back of the hog and rides around the back. GEM MESSAGE BY PIGEON. Carrier Flies From Vessel to Shore, Valuables Being Found. Valuable Being Found. Philadelphia.—When she discovered that she had left valuable jewelry in a bag at a hotel! Mrs. Daniel H. Ferguson, on the British steamer Glencen, outside the Delaware capes, liberated a carrier pigeon, which returned to the home cote on the Ferguson farm, Fairview, at Mendenhall. Pp., with a message telling of the loss. The hotel was communicated with, and the jewelry was obtained and put in the office safe. Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson started for New Castle, New Brunswick, and left one to be stored in the baggage room of a mistaken hotel. The box was placed in the bag. The pigeon ried the message was being taken with others by Mr. Ferguson to friends in New Brunswick. MARRIED BY PHONE Ohio Magistrate Accompanies Eager Young Couple. Dayton, O., please "Take Motzel" "Number, please "Take Florence Iguum" "They don't answer." "Oh, central, please get off the line. We're trying to get married." Louis Motzel and Florence Igou had their troubles getting married over the telephone here, but Dan Cupid finally got the phone plugs in their proper places on the switchboard, and Squire Koehn was able to finish the ceremony. Motzel and Miss Igou had found two magistrates absent from their offices, and when they reached the office of Koehn, only to find him gone; they located him at a construction camp three miles from the city, and he readily consented to tie the knot by phone. PACIFIC DRYDOCK. Work to Be Resumed Shortly is Opinion in Washington. Washington.-Work upon the giant dry dock at Pearl Harbor, the site of the great naval base the United States is establishing in the Pacific, probably will be resumed in the near future. Scenarios of the Navy Daniels announced that the New York. the engineering specialist retained to render an opinion as to the visibility of going ahead with the construction of the dock, has reported that the project is quite feasible. The Pearl Harbor dry dock is to cost several million dollars, according to estimates. Work on the dock was well completed, the coastal foundation of the dock yielded by the below and caused an upheaval of the floor and walls, practically ruiling all that had been done. Remarkable Fortitude of Frank, Awaiting Death. Atlanta, Ga.-Leo M. Frank, sentenced to be hanged Oct. 10 for the murder of Mary Phagan, continues to manage in jail the affairs of the National Pond company, of which he was superintendent, and plants the girl was killed. However, he will not be hanged Oct. 10 because the motion for a new trial will be heard, and if the decision is adverse the case will be carried to a court. It may be a year before his fate is definitely determined. His wife has visited him daily since the end of the trial and has assisted him in going over the mass of testimony. When at the trial Solicitor Dorey denied and never gone to the police station to ask the fact to the jury as an indication that she knew Frank was guilty she leaned forward in an excited protest, but under the law she could not testify. She is determined in the event of a new trial—and she is confident one is coming—to in some way show that she never for a moment doubted her innocence. In Frank, his mother, joined in the jail and was obliterated, but finally she was obliterated in Brooklyn, where her aged husband is critically ill. She expects to return when argument is made for a new trial before Judge Roan. Solicitor Dorsey is directing the work of detectives who are trying to find new evidence to strengthen the case of the state should a new trial be ordered. TRUST ACTION NEXT SESSION. President Then Will Recommend Strengthening of Sherman Law. President Thon Will Recommend Strengthening of Sherman Law. Washington. There will be no antitrust legislation at this extra session of congress. it was stated on the highest authority. President Wilson will recommend to congress soon after the beginning of the regular session in December the strengthening of the Sherman law. Between now and then he and his advisers will go over the Sherman law, dig into the history of its operation and make a careful study of what has been done with the law and its history. It will be known that the president will himself him the antitrust laws of New Jersey, known as "the seven sisters" acts enacted during the last year of Mr. Wilson's administration as governor of that state. THE APPEAL. Animals About as Approachable as Court: A Pasture-Spearman's Carnival Expected - Hunters Must Secure Licenses and Report to Game Warden Every Time a Deer Is Killed. Springfield, Mass.-The state wide open season for deer in the week beginning Nov. 17 will be a notable hunter's carnival. Deer have been rigidly protected in Massachusetts, and the first open season, three years ago, was restricted to the five western counties. In spite of three open seasons deer are now more numerous in the hill towns than at the time of the Revolutionary war, in which period they were unprotected. Farmers' complaints of the depreations of deer were defy turned to advantage by hunters as an argument for a state wide open season, which will be given a trial this fall. The greater part of the 10,000 or more deer in the state are in the five western counties, but in the open season, when the woods and hills resound with the report of firearms, the frightened animals flee eastward in droves. This year the flight of the deer, unless be over the borders of another state, will be rapid, and it is expected that the slaughter will be much greater than last year, when about 1,000 deer were killed. The law requires that all hunters shall be licensed and that a report shall be made to the fish and game commission of every deer killed. The penalty is so severe that the provisions are generally observed. Notwithstanding that deer in parts of Massachusetts are almost as approachable as cows in a pasture, and in many towns by the exercise of a little patience they can be prevailed upon to eat from one's hand, the open season has a fascination for thousands of hunters. In Springfield alone last year the number of hunters licenses were issued. This small army of hunters from Boston and other cities in the eastern part of the state will participate, not to mention New York and Philadelphia hunters, a majority of whom are stock brokers. Game wardens are of the opinion that there will be a hunter for nearly every deer, and that when the 1914 legislature convenes the surplus population will be the least of its troubles. The principal restrictions of the open season are that no hunter shall kill more than one deer, that the meat shall not be resold, that to traps or salt licks and that no weapon other than a shotgun shall be used. To minimize the presence of so many hunters in the woods a special statute has been passed which prohibits hunting for birds or quadruples with rifles, pistols or revolvers during the open large number of deer in the woods with rifles, and if detected would insist that they were bird or rabbit hunting and that the deer was killed accidentally. The new law eliminates this excuse. Candor compels the statement that deer hunters are guilty in too many instances of unseemly depredations, and the utter disregard of the rights of the hunters by comparatively few hunters has led to the loss of acres of land by indignant farmers. Some idea of the increase in the number of deer in Massachusetts may be gained from the damages which the state has been called upon to pay to farmers. As it is unlawful to kill deer except under great provocation, the state has found it necessary to compensate farmers for damage to orchards, gardens and growing crops. In 1903 the state paid $237 to settle deer damage claims. In 1908 the amount had risen to $4,370. Last year Massachusetts farmers collected $16,000 for the depredations of deer. FRIENDS PLANT CROPS. Two Hundred Horses Plow 230 Acres For Sick Couple Larned, Kan.—Because Mr. and Mrs. Roy Connard had been sick for several weeks and could not plant fall crops forty of their neighbors went to their farm home near here and plowed 130 acres of wheat land and cut 100 acres of soil. About 200 horses were used in the work. which was completed in a day. Every detail of cultivating the ground and planting the crop was carried out like clockwork. the workers being divided into companies with captains. Run Over by Blind Steer. Nashville, Tenn.—"Uncle Billy" Hunter, mate on the steamboat Henry Harley and one of the old men in active service on the Cumberland river, met with a serious accident. Some cattle were being loaded at Cedar Blair, and there was a blind steer in the lot. Not knowing that the steer was blind, Mr. Hunter stood in front of the gate to the cattle pen when it was opened, and the blind animal ran over and trampled on him, bruising and injuring him badly. Defective Page MOVES HIS HOUSE 23 MILES. Stumpf and His Workman Live In It During the Journey. Winsted, Conn.-George Stumpf moved his house, a 10 by 30 foot frame affair of three rooms, from North Hartland to Hall Meadow, a distance of twenty-three miles, without breaking anything in the dwellings. While the habitation was in transit Stumpf and his men, who did the moving with the aid of horses, had their cabin in the house and at night they gathered in the house and stove. popped corn, smoked, read newspapers and swapped stories before going to bed. Five years ago Stumpf and his men moved the same house from Huntington, Mass., to North Hartland, where he was in the jumbo business. PEDDLER LEAVES FORTUNE. $14,000 Goes to Religious Charities. Rest to Folks. Minneapolis, Minn. - Edgar Allen Sloane, a wandering smith, who had made his headquarters for the last ten years in Minneapolis, has been buried at Lishon. N. D., where several months ago he chose a spot as his final resting place. A will left by Sloane directs that the First Baptist church of Minneapolis shall receive $10,000 of his estate, that $4,000 shall go to a theological school in Manitoba and that relatives in the east shall receive the rest. Sloane, who was known because of his desire to romantically about the country, was believed to be a poor man. He met death recently under the wheels of a train at Beaumont, Cal. 12,000 MILES TO BIBLE. Woman Travels From California to Koosy, Russia. Los Angeles, Cal.—To look once more upon the face of her mother and to touch with reverence a book which the wealth of the czar of all the Russians has failed to purchase are the reasons why Mrs. Tarian Michael Daniels of Los Angeles will journey 12,000 miles to the village of Koosy, on the banks of Lake Urumalil, in the Kurdish mountains. The book is the Peshitta testament, one of the few books on the Scriptures that survived the Mohammedan secession, and has been viewed by hundreds of historians, who have offered great sums for it. It was written in 322 A. D. New York. - Although the retail prices of anthracite coal may be increased 10 cents a ton on account of the new Pennsylvania state tax on the product, there is practically no chance of a raise before the first of next year, said dealers in this city. The Pennsylvania legislature imposed a tax of $2½ per cent on the value of all anthracite at the mines, expecting that it would bring $3,000,000 or $4,000,000 into the treasury of the state. Political economists agree that it is the consumer who pays the tax. The fear has been that in addition to having to do this the retail coal dealer might utilize the new tax as an excuse for jacking up the prices on the consumer away above those actually warranted by the state levy. The tax of $2½ per cent on the value of the coal at the mines would actually amount to about 5 cents a ton of the smallest or steam making coal and from 8 to 10 cents a ton on the larger or domestic sizes, such as chestnut, stove and egg. MARK OLD MISSOURI TRAIL Woman Drives First Stake to Show Way Pinnnera Traveled St. Louis, Mo.-Mrs. John N. Booth, chairman of the old trails committed of the Daughters of the American Revolution, drove the first of the stakes that are to mark the old trail from St. Louis to Kansas City. This trail was traveled by pioneers who went overland to Independence, Mo. near Kansas City, and there joined the great caravans of home seekers that followed the Oregon trail to the northwest or the Santa Fe trail to the southwest. Other stakes were driven in the city and St. Louis county, and in October they are to be replaced with concrete markers. TEN TONS OF PLAYING CARDS. Shipments of Nearly 100,000 Packs Go to the Orient. Seattle, Wash.—Ten tons of playing cards, approximately 96,000 decks, were among the shipments taken aboard the Japanese steamship Tamba Marin of the Niphon Yusen Kailsha, loaded here for ports in the orient. The cards arrived from the east by train a few days ago. They are for the Japanese fortune Carlo of the orient, situated forty miles from the island of Hongkong on the mkinhain, near the mouth of the Pearl or Canton river. It is the gambling resort of the denizens of the British colony. RDAY. OCTOBER 4, 1913. CUBAN POLITICS IN CHAOTIC SHAPE President Arrayed Against All the Spoilsmen. ENEMY OF DEMAGOGUES. Ability to Get Jobs Valuable Asset on the island—Former President Gomez, Popular With the Masses, Not Adverse to Serving Again—Conditions Are Summed Up In Nutshell. Havana, Cuba—Many in close touch with the ins and outs of Cuban conditions, political and commercial, believe the republic faces the most serious problem since the American flag was lowered from the national palace. It will require skilled diplomacy, political craft and a firmness yet unknown in Cuban affairs to bring about a stable solution. It is generally believed that President Menocal is strong enough to tide his administration over, but it is also conceded that he has a strenuous proposition on his hands. He is apparently trying to give an honest and capable administration, opposite to what many politicians and their adherents want. The successful politician in Latin America, especially Cuba, is who can pride the most jobs for his constituency to get jobs is a valuable political asset. The average chenman knows but little and cares less about matters of state. He wants to get on the government payroll and he doesn't relish any position that requires much physical exertion. Briefly, Cuba at present faces conditions that might be subdivided into four parts: First—A chaotic political condition and the attempt of professional politicians and those who crave power to overthrow the government and discredit the Menocal administration. Second—The action of congress in reaffing to the wishes of the president to the union under the vision of the constitution so that its members would not be entirely immune from civil courts. Third—The recent presidential decree that dissolved the Porta公司 of Cuba and annulled millions of invested foreign capital, which may serve to cheapen the country by the authority of the republic with foreign investors. Fourth—The recently enacted military ordinance that placed a military 100 officers have been reaffirmed as factual factions have seized upon for campaign material to stir up discontent in the Cuban politics probably has not been so thoroughly stirred up and disorganized since President Taft and Dr. Alfredo Zayas overthrew the Estrada Palma administration and set the government of 1906. The last presidential election shattered the Liberal party. The "patriotic conjunction," composed of Conservatives and "Abertistas," exiles from all parties, elected Menocal. His inauguration in turn shattered the Conservatives, so that now he might be called a president without a party. It is generally conceded that the party is broken up beyond reorganization. The last concession leaders resulted in widening factions at Duturie Jose Verona, vice president of Cuba and president of the Conservatives, was called upon to resign the leadership. The row among the Conservatives was brought about by the apparent honesty of Menocal. They wanted the "rascals turned out" and themselves enforced in political jobs. The "Asas" had jobs for their part in the "patriotic conjunction." Instead of listening to party clamor, Menocal set about presiding in a business way. Where a man of opposition faith was efficient he was retained in office. This policy was the result of the new nominees, the new postmaster, report. This line of official conduct could not be reasoned out by the politicians; consequently the howl they raised could be heard from one end of the island to the other. A senator from an interior province, after Menocal took office, sent one batch of fifteen men to Colonel Jose Villalon, secretary of public works, saying they were his political allies, and asked that they be provided with government jobs. The refusal of congress to temper the "bush clause," which allows members to slay dictators without fear of civil courts, was a slag on the president. This wrangle grew out of the killing of General Armando do J Riva, chief of the national police. Under this clause the expressed consent of congress must be obtained to allow civil prosecution, but public opinion was so strong that congress consented to the trial of Senator Morales and Representative Arias, but refused to further modify it. President Menocal used his strong influence and sought to wield the "big stick," but congress simply "set down in harness" and asked, "What are you going to do about it?" Anti-administration forces rallied congress and prevented a quorum, and the president was left high and dry. In the meantime the hearing continues. "Deaf Mutes" on the Run, Sacramento, Cal.-Motorcycle Policeman Brown chased a couple on another motorcycle and killed the other night. When Brown then began a lecture on the civil of speeding, the man pulled out a pad and wrote, "We are deaf mutes and thought you were a robber." --- CURRENT WINDS WATCH. Timepiece Lost In Stream Two Years Ago Found Running. Unlontown, Pa.—That a swift current in a mountain trout stream kept his gold watch wound up and running for a full two years is the insertion of Albert Miller of Chalk Hill, who lost his timekeeper in the stream two years ago. When the watch was picked out of the sand by Mrs. Miller near the spot where her husband lost it the dial showed nearly the correct time. Mrs. Miller, while gathering wild flowers, noticed a glittering object in the clear water of the stream. She investigated and found to be her husband's lost watch. She was greatly surprised to find the watch running and keeping good time. Mrs. Miller said that the timepiece was lying in such a position that the fast running water had evidently acted as winder and kept the movements going. AUTOS FOR PARCEL POST. Forty-one Motor Trucks to Be Put In Operation. Three in Brooklyn. Washington, D.C. in Brooklyn Postmaster General Burleson announces the by the postoffice department of forty and automobiles to be used in the collection and delivery of parcel post matter. Twenty of the machines are powerful trucks, designed and constructed especially for the needs of the parcel post in large cities. Three of the trucks will be sent to Baltimore, three to Brooklyn, N. Y.; two to Buffalo, two to Louisville, four to Minneapolis and six to Philadelphia, all to ministers of those cities have been instructed to keep a minute account of the expense and maintenance of the vehicles, that comparisons may be made with the cost of rented machines. $15,000,000 IN SALMON. Coast Fishermen Making $500 a Week Workie Apr Tacoma.-Five hundred dollars a week for one fisherman is the average earned by salmon fishers who have begin to return from the banks to Tacoma with shipload after shipload of their catches and their faces wreathed in smiles over what they declared was the most successful season in history. Jack Anich, one of the dozen of the salmon fishers of Tacoma, said that during the comparatively short period, four weeks, 'during which they are able to fish, no less than 2,000,000 cases of salmon, have been caught in Pugget Sound and British Columbia waters, valued at $15,000,000. Tacoma and Gig harbor fishermen are bringing $750,000 worth of salmon to Old Town alone. PUGILIST BY NIGHT; A STUDENT BY DAY Young McGann Fighting Way Through Law School. Chicago.-George Howard Lovequest, formerly of Chicago, now of Racine, Wis. is literally fighting his way through the law school of the University of Wisconsin. He fights at 133, Marquis of Queensbury, when he is not wrestling with Blackstone. He is known in the ring as "Young McGann." and is the only man known here who has adopted pugilism as a means of paying his expenses in school. Lovequest was born on the south side in Chicago, where they develop "scrappers." In 1910 he entered Wisconsin as a law student and will be graduated next year. When he entered expenses about for a means of paying him, Peter McGann suggested boxing to him and his first professional bout was with a man named Britt, at Oregon, Wis. McGann stopped him in the first round. This brought him to the attention of promoters, and since then he has had no trouble in getting matches whenever he needed money. He ranks high as a student and says that as soon as he is through school he also will be through with the ring. POLL OF FARMERS' WIVES. Secretary of Agriculture Sends Letters to 50,000 of Them. Washington. David F. Houston, secretary of agriculture, wants the women on American farms to tell him what the department of agriculture can do to best serve their needs. Accordingly he has prepared a letter which will be sent to the women of 500,000 farm households, requesting them to make suggestions. Copies of the letter will go to about twenty farms in each of the 2,800 counties in the United States. Secretary Houston expects that the replies received will represent the views and opinions of more than 500,000 farm women. Want Argentine Corn. Topela, Kan—Kansas farmers and stockmen, owing to the bad effect of the drought upon the corn crop, will removal of the tariff duty on Argentine corn be important and fed to Kansas stock. It is estimated that Argentine grain can be delivered to the Kansas farmers at about 10 cents a bushel less than the present price of corn in the state. $2.40 PER YEAR. U. S. ARMY NEEDS MANY AVIATORS MUST FOSTER OWN SYSTEM Head of Signal Corps Appeals For Strengthening of That Branch of Service—Civilians Cannot Be Depended on to Develop the Science For Military Uses. Washington—From the office of Brigadier General George S. Scriven, U. S. A., chief signal officer of the army, a statement has been issued on aviation in the army in the course of which it is stated that the dying situation in the United States, viewed strictly from a military standpoint, is in a critical condition. The statement is in a way an appeal to congress. The vulnerability of the Panama canal to aerial attack is pointed out, and the prophecy is made that aerial navigation is on the point of assuming enormous proportions. "In regard to aviation it may be noted," the statement reads, "that throughout the country the number of civilians who have heretofore undertaken to fly heavier than air machines for their own pleasure, for sport or for money making is fast diminishing and that it is doubtful whether in the event of a war score of men capable of making flights useful to an army could be CAPTAIN CHANDLER, ONE OF BEST KNOWN ARMY AVIATORS. obtained from civil life. But aviation, which may be considered a sport by the people of the country at large, is to the army a vital necessity. The time for serious effort in this new military science is at hand. "The situation is critical, and the army must, for its own protection, train a sufficient number of its officers. in the handling of its aeroplanes and in reconnaissance work. The army must look to itself and to the men of the organized militia to supply a reasonable number of officers for military aviation in case of necessity. This necessity may arise at any moment. It is not a question so much of supplying aviators for a great war as it is to accompany military scouts so accompany expeditionaries or any military movement that may undertake, and also to provide a reasonable number for the defense from aerial attack of such vulnerable positions as Corregidor island in the Philippines, and the Panama canal. "The work performed by the signal corps in aviation during the past few years has been inconspicuous, but it has been very great. Something has been created from nothing since the succeeding 40,000 when Orville Wright succeeded in building a bonus of $5,000 offered by the signed contract of five miles out and five miles back from Fort Myer, Va. Much data has been compiled on the strength of materials, aerial forces, uses of radiotelegraphy as applied to aeronautics, but most of all the knowledge of engines for aeroplanes and the proper types of these machines have been carefully worked out and valuable results have been obtained through the efforts of officers of the signal corps and those associated with them. Every progress and practical results if the encouragement asked from congress is extended. "The pilot of the aeroplane, for whom we all have the highest respect, is the fighting man of the machine. He is the man behind the run, but from the nature of things he must be a young, venturesome officer, generally without experience. He is a technical matters, which can only come with years of experience and study, and then only to men of a certain type of mentality." In conclusion, the signal corps officials give the opinion that the work of aeronautics in the United States army requires a high level of development, and that the work should receive every reasonable aid and encouragement by congress. JOHN H. HARRIS ANNIVERSARY OF ATLANTA'S SHAME. Seven years have passed since the bloody massacre of innocent Afro-Americans at Atlanta, Georgia, and we reprint Du Bois' famous "A Litany of Atlanta" that the race may not forget the awful days when Colored men, women and children were shot down like dogs because of their race. Not a single person who was killed had been guilty of any crime whatever. The massacre was caused by the incendiary editorials of the Atlanta News and Journal, owned by Hoke Smith, since Governor of Georgia and now United States senator from that state. In his gubernatorial canvass Smith also made incendiary speeches inciting the Caucasians against Afro-Americans and demanding that the race be disfranchised. This has since been done by legislative enactment. Senator Hoke Smith is said to be the author of the jim crow policy of the present administration and he has the active support of Vardaman, Heflin, Roddenbery and nearly every southerner in Congr. Every Afro-Amer ought to the law and upon the ability of men to govern themselves. It is especially an illuminating commentary on the whole race-hatred movement. It indicates that the real desire is to lunch a Negro and not particularly to punish the man guilty of crime. It shows how debased a man can become through hatred, and makes one pause and wonder whether civilization may work its way out on this continent when such savagery can dominate whole communities of men. Mob murder is worse than individual murder, and yet it is seldom punished. In this case an innocent citizen, supposed to have the protection of the law, was ruthlessly slaughtered to make a holiday for a frenzied, shouting mass of half-crazed men, drunk with lust for blood through a fostering of race hatred. Nothing can undo that crime, nothing give back that life. Yet the law complacently beholds these maniacs proceeding about their business and makes no effort to apprehend them for their awful crime. It seems inevitable that some day the government itself will have to devise a way to prevent this disregard of law and justice and decency if communities are unwilling or helpless.—St. Paul Dispatch. The foregoing editorial, which we republish in its entirety, strikes right at the root of the mob murder and is one of the very best that we have seen. We hope it will bear good fruit. Mrs. Matilda A. Pape of New York cried so much over the ill treatment inflicted by her husband that her tear ducts dried up and had to be removed, and now she is doing what she should have done long ago, suing for a divorce.

The very next day it was announced that the Negro's innocence had been completely proved, the real culprit having been apprehended and confessed. The mob that destroyed an innocent man will go its way undisturbed, yet it committed hot-blooded murder without justification. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1913. Listen to us, Thy children: our faces dark with doubt, are made a mockery in Thy sanctuary. With uplifted hands we front Thy heaven, O God, crying: We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! We are not better than our fellows, Lord, we are but weak and human men. When our devils do deviltry, curse Thou the doer and the deed: curse them as we curse them, do-to them all and more than ever they have done to innocence and weakness, to womanhood and home. Have mercy upon us, miserable sinners! And yet whose is the deeper guilt? Who made these devils? Who nursed them in crime and fed them on injustice? Who ravished and debauched their mothers and their grandmothers? Who bought and sold their crime, and waxed fat and rich on public iniquity? Thou knowest, good God! Is this Thy justice, O Father, that guile be easier than innocence, and the innocent crucified for the guilt of the untouched guilty? Wherefore do we pray? Is not the God of the fathers dead? Have not seers seen in Heaven's halls Thine hearsed and lifeless form stark amidst the black and rolling smoke of sin, where all along bow bitter forms of endless dead? Awake, Thou that sleepest I Thou art not dead, but flown afar, up hills of endless light, thru blazing corridors of suns, where worlds do swing of good and gentle men, of women strong and free—far from the cozenage, black hypocrisy and chaste prostitution of this shameful speck of dust! From lust of body and lust of blood Great God deliver us! THE ADDRESS TO THE COUNTRY After a national campaign in which independent Colored voters broke away from traditional party solidarity against the national Democratic party under the lead of this League for the expressed purpose of trying the exponent of bringing about a better racial feeling between the Colored American and the Democratic South, the National Independent League in the 6th Annual Meeting assembled, has no apologies to offer for the course advised, despite disappointment at the course so far pursued under cabinet officers and one respect by the President, a Democrat whose election the Colored voters are disqualified, and more so than ever for a Democrat before. The officers of this League and other leaders were not only given assurances of no color discrimination, but a National Democratic Committee, which supported four headquarters to send literature to the Colored voters asking their vote on the assurance of justice and equal rights, but Gov. Wilson, the candidate, by word and open letter, declared unequivocally for a course based upon the letter and spirit of the federal constitution, on Christianity, and "justice executed with liberality." Cutting down almost to zero the holding of federal office by Colored citizens under presidential appointment is not consistent with these promises. The present policy of color segregation in toilets and working positions in the Treasury and the Postoffice Department buildings at Washington is such an insult, humiliation, public degradation, denial of justice of freedom and the right to rise by merit, that its continuance would be not a menace to our Republic, but an act of perfidy by the National Democratic party whose committee head was none other than the present Secretary of the Treasury, and of personal dishonor by the present President of the United States. We cannot believe that this course will be persisted in by the cabinet officers or long permitted by this Christian President. We appeal to the National Democratic party to be true to the name "democracy," to be a national not a sectional party, one of equal rights, not one dominated by sectional or racial prejudice. We appeal to President Wilson to be the president of all the people, not of a part of the people. The Democratic party is now on trial, as to whether its leaders in the North are to make good on their past claims that the national party was not a mere Southern race-prejudice party, whether its best Southern leaders can make good on their prophecies that support by Colored voters in the North would lead to more friendly racial relations. The question whether Colored men can ever safely vote the National Democratic ticket is now in the hands of a Democratic administration, which has complete control of the federal government. On the answer depends the future of the party as one destined to retain power. We call to the attention of the people of the United States and protest against. ability of men to First—Complete denial of Civil Rights for American citizens because of race and color in the Southern states, and a partial and growing denial in Northern states. a illuminating com-Second—Segregation of Citizens for Race and Color whole race-hatred in all public facilities and places of accommodation and resort in these states that the real Southern states, including even libraries, street cars, and residences, degrading system of Jim-Crowism. a Negro and not for American citizens because of race and color in the Southern states, and a partial and growing denial in Northern states.

Fourth—Race and Color Segregation By or Within the Federal Government, a policy which never approached the official stage until this admini- tration now existing as to the public lavatories and working positions in the department buildings at Washington under the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General, constituting the introduction of caste into the national government, a humiliation of one-tenth of the people, a violation of the principle of Fourth—Hace and Color Segregation By Or Within the Federal Government, a policy which never approached the official stage until this administration increased its role to the public lavatories and working positions in the department building, under the Secretary of the Treasury and the Postmaster General, consisting of a production caste into the national government, a humiliation of one-tenth of the people, a violation of the principles of Civil Service Reform. Fifth-Disfranchisement for Race or Color, almost universally prevalent in the Southern states in violation of the spirit and letter of the federal law, taking away a citizen's only defense in a Republic, not, as claimed, by a voting test, but the application of severe tests: one the insuperable test for Colored citizens and based on ancestry and no test for white citizens. it is seldom pun- innocent citizen, the protection of essly slaughtered for a framed almost universally prevalent in the Southern states in violation of the spirit and letter of the federal law, taking away a citizen's only defense in a Republic, not, as claimed, by a voting test, but the application of sensitive tests: one the insuperable test for Colored citizens and based on an ancestry and not test for white citizens.

The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Ella Wheeler Wilcox. --- FROM lust of power and lust of gold, Great God deliver us! From the leagued lying of despot and of brute, Great God deliver us! A city lay in travail, God our Lord, and from her loins sprang twin Murder and Black Hate. Red was the midnight; clang, crack and cry of death and fury filled the air and trembled underneath the stars when church spires pointed silently to Thee. And all this was to sate the greed of greedy men who hide behind the veil of vengeance! Bend us Thine ear, O Lord! In the pale, still morning we looked upon the deed. We stopped our ears and held our leaping hands so they—did they not wag their heads and leer and cry with bloody jaws: Gease from Crime! The word was mockery, for thus they train a hundred crimes while we do cure one. Turn again our captivity, O Lord! Behold this maimed and broken thing; dear God it was an humble black man who toiled and sweat to save a bit from the pittance paid him. They told him: Work and Rise. He worked. Did this man sin? Nay, but some one told how some one said another did—one whom he had never seen nor known. Yet for that man's crime this man lieh maimed and murdered, his wife naked to shame, his children, to poverty and evil. Hear us, O heavenly Father! Doth not this justice of hell stink in Thy nostrils, O God? How long shall the mounting flood of innocent blood roar in Thine ears and pound in our hearts for vengeance? Pile the pale frenzy of blood-crazed brutes who do such deeds high on Thine altar, Jehovah Jireh, and burn it in hell forever and forever! Forgive us, good Lord; we know not what we say! Bewildered we are, and passion-tost, mad with the madness of a mobbed and mocked and murdered people; straining at the armposts of Thy Throne, we raise our shackled hands and charge Thee, God, by the bones of our stolen fathers, by the tears of our dead mothers, by the very blood of Thy crucified Christ; What meaneth this? Tell us the Plan; give us the Sign! Keep not thou silence, O God! REV. A. J. CAREY, A. M., D. D., PH. D. The Eloquent Pastor of the Institutional A. M. E. Church, Chicago Who Represented the Afro-American Race at the Perry Centennial and Who Had the Manhood to Protest Against the Wrongs of the Race and Demand a Square Deal Special Correspondence THE APPEAL The Centennial of the Battle of Lake Erie was celebrated September 18th about thirty miles from Sandusky, Ohio, on the spot where one hundred years ago, Commodore Perry won his famous victory. Ex-President Taft was the principal speaker. Rev. A. J. Carey, A. M., D. D., Ph. D., pastor of the Institutional Church of this city had the honor of representing the Afro-American race at the celebration. It is possible that it may not be generally known that 109 of the 43 seamen who fought with Perry were colored men. In his speech, Dr. Carey brought out this fact and also called attention to the bravery and heroism of the race in all the wars for the protection and preservation of our country and said the colored man had won the right to a square deal. He made a strong appeal to the American people to turn the most effective forces of American life upon injustice and unrighteousness and truly said that these enemies of our country must be conquered or they will conquer us. Dr. Carey's speech is a message to the American people from the great body of intelligent Afro-American citizens who are not satisfied with present conditions and believes in protesting against wrong. Pleading for a fair chance, he said: "We ask nothing more than a fair chance and will be satisfied with nothing less." Caucasians who were present say that Dr. Carey's speech was easily the most effective delivered at the celebration. He was enthusiastically received and was frequently interrupted by deafening applause. That even Southeners appreciate true manhood when exhibited by an Afro-American who is shown when Governor McCreary of Kentucky met Dr. Carey in the crowded lobby of the hotel, "The Breakers" the next day after the exercises, he grasped his hand and said, "While I do not agree with everything you have said I admire the manhood displayed in your utterances." GEMS FROM DR. CAREY'S SPEECH AT THE PERRY CENTENNIAL American history actually teems with deeds of heroism and valor, or dauntless courage and unwavering loyalty on the part of the "Little Brother" in the Nation. Today we speak of Peace, of Universal Peace. How can there be Universal Peace without Universal Justice? Today the American people are in mortal conflict with enemies far more potent, far more dreadful than British fleet or armed cruisers, enemies which must themselves be conquered or they will conquer us. Is the "Big Brother" really big enough for the task, for the responsibility, for the opportunity that is is.

Is the "Big Brother" really big enough for the task, for the responsibility, for the opportunity that is. We have done and are still wooing our part. We have ever been loyal to the flag—no black anarchist has ever torn the starry banner down. But we feel that we have not had a square deal. In many states we are distranchised because of our race and jim crow laws disgrace the statute books of every southern state. Efficient and trustworthy Afro-American government employs in Washington have recently been set apart from their fellows, with whom they have worked for many years, as if they were lepers. The "Little Brother" feels that such segregation is unnecessary, unfair, unjust, unAmerican and un-Christian. And, now, Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Commission, thanking you in behalf of the One Hundred and Nine dauntless heroes who fought with Perry, in behalf of the 10,000,000 Afro-Americans who love and honor the flag, for this opportunity of speaking for them today, I plead with you that as celebrate, we shall also determine that the most effective forces of our American life shall be turned upon injustice and unrighteousness as exhibited in every form of discrimination, disfranchisement, segregation, mob violence and jim crowism, to the end that the day will no be far distant when white men and colored men, native and foreign born, South as well as North, shall look upon the shattered fleet of all those enemies of this great Republic and may with truth exclaim, "We have met the enemy and they are ours."

IT no longer blind, Lord God, deaf to our prayer and dumb to our dumb suffering. Surely Thou too art not white, O Lord, a pale, bloodless, heartless thing? Ah! Christ of all the Pities! Forgive the thought! Forgive these wild, blasphemous words. Thou art still the God of our black fathers; and in Thy soul's soul sit some soft darkenings of the evening, some shadowings of the velvet night. But whisper—speak—call, great God, for Thy silence is white terror to our hearts! The way, O God, show us the way and point us the path. Whither? North is greed and South is blood; within, the coward, and without, the liar. Whither? To death? Amen! Welcome dark sleep! Whither? To life? But not this life, dear God, not this. Let the cup pass from us, tempt us not beyond our strength, for there is that clamoring and clawing within, to whose voice we would not listen, yet sudder lest we must, and it is red, Ah! God! It is a red and awful shape. Selah! In yonder East trembles a star. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord! Lord, we have done these pleading, wavering words. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! We bow our heads and hearken soft to the sobbing of women and little children. We beseech Thee to hear us, good Lord! Our voices sink in silence and in night. Hear us, good Lord! In night, O God of a godless land! Amen! In silence, O Silent God. Selah! at Atlanta, in the Day of Death, 1906. W. E.

Chicago—A hotel for "down and out" men, to cost $100,000, will be erected by Charles G. Dawes, president of the Central Trust company of Illinois as a memorial to his son, Rufus Fearing Dawes, who was drowned in Lake Greva on Sept. 5, 1912. Eventually Mr. Dawes will erect a similar refuge for women of the same class. These hotels had been projects which the father and son had planned to carry out together, and Mr. Dawes pledged himself to devote all his spare time to carrying out the work his son had long looked forward to. "Lodging will be furnished at cost, not exceeding $8 cents," said Mr. Dawes. "The doors will never be closed to those of employment. All we ask is that they be prepared to work when they end work again. It will extend credit to the fortunate upon their promise alone. A free employment agency will be run in connection with the hotel. "My boy was greatly interested in the Y. M. C. A., and the idea of this was suggested by my suggestion by that being done by the Bowyer Y. M. C. A. of New York city." MAY GET ARTS DEGREE AT 15. Young Sidis, Mathematical Wonder, Entered Harvard at Eleven. Cambridge, Mass. — William James Sidis, fifteen gives promise of obtaining a Harvard bachelor of arts next June. This youthful mathematical wizard entered the university at eleven as a specialist in mathematics. Meanall, he has included sufficient other courses to make his college schedule an evenly balanced. Young Sidis is the son of Dr. Boris Sidis, one of the foremost psychologists in the country. His younger years were spent at the knees of his father, where he imbbed the rudimentary knowledge of mathematics which was later to make him known as one of the scholastic marvels of the 19th century. At eight he entered the Brookline high and two years later saw him at Tufts, where he remained for one year before entering Harvard. ICELAND GOING "DRY." No More Alcoholic Liquor There After This Year. Copenhagen.—At the end of the present year it will be impossible for either natives or tourists to obtain alcoholic liquors in Iceland. Under the antisiph law permission was given to consume the present stock of liquors and figuring on the per capita consumption it will all be gone by the end of the year. The Danish government adopted the drastic prohibition laws because it was felt that the excessive drinking of the Icelanders was undermining the physical fitness of the people. QUAKER CITY MAYOR WILL GO TO SCHOOL Philadelphia.-Rudolph Blankenburg, the reform mayor of this city, and the members of his cabinet have decided to go back to school to take a course in political economy, so that they may be more competent to administer the affairs of the city. The mayor and at least two members of his cabinet have arranged to go to Madison. Wis. to attend a course of lectures at the University of Wis. and which is short and theoretical, is designed to solve the problems that confront modern municipalities. When the mayor and his directors return they expect to be able to ride roughshod over some of the municipal quagmires which have all but engulfed them to date. The most trying difficulties are matters of finance, the mayor being desirous of getting enough funds to run the city, and members of councils having conveniently blocked every move. The mayor acknowledges that if the city is to be successful in how to whip in line belligerents councilmen he and his directors will feel that they have been amply repaid for their trip west. Not only will Mayor Blankenburg and his advisers take the lecture course—which is to be jammed into three days—but the entire membership of the City club, an uplift organization, will probably accompany the officials. The special lecture program arranged to assist Mayor Blankenburg and his directors to run Philadelphia is a very comprehensive one. It has been arranged by the University of Wisconsin faculty and takes in every phase of municipal existence, even telling what shall be done with the waste or unoccupied lands in a city, to say nothing of the broad subject of taxation.

In Valparaiso, Ind., there was an epidemic of scarlet fever that defied the city authorities. Month after month, despite the strictest quarantine, the plague went on among the children. Finally, by a course of elimination, the authorities decided that the infection was beaten by the mouths of the children. Every child who entered school was examined, and its teeth were put in good condition. Within a few weeks there was no scarlet fever. Examinations made in Chicago by the board of health show that the micro-organisms that produce scarlet fever, diphtheria and all other children's diseases can be found in the cavities of decayed teeth fully five weeks after the child has been declared The faithful use of the toothbrush should be made a part of the school requirements in all parts of the school as it is now in some classes in Michigan sets, and all parents should be understand to understand that dental care is as necessary as medical attention for their children and that money spent on the one will often be saved on the other. How to Plant a Tree. Most trees are given a too restricted hole. Dig it least six feet in diameter at experienced person who is lying it, if such be available ge two or three sticks of dy. the bottoms near the sides in order to loosen up the surrounding earth to make running ground for the tree roots later on. The holes should be at least a foot deeper than the depth at which the trees are to be planted, and this space is to be filled in with broken stone covered with soil, on which the trees will rest. This will insure that good drainage which is necessary for all trees not of the swamp kind. In the more southern portions of the country, where the ground dries out during periods of drought, a depth of several feet, drain tides, or be laid, like the toms of the holes, and one tile with the "bell" level with the top of the ground set perpendicular, to be used in watering the trees when needed. This is an especially good idea for street trees, but the tile top should be protected by an iron curb box. Phones, N. W. Nicollet 9556 T. S. Center 3638 Geo. W.
