Elliott Tries to Humilliate and Intimidate Editor By Charging Criminal Libel Editor Is Arrested But Easily Give $500 Bond THE FIGHT TO THE FINISH IS NOW ON AND THE BIG GUNS ARE YET TO BE BROUGHT INTO ACTION Vol. 3, No. 6 Editor Is Peeved Because TH Published Facts About liott Tries to Humil date Editor By Cl nal Li Editor Is Arrested $500 B THE FIGHT TO THE FINISH I GUNS ARE YET TO BE BRO The second chapter in the famous League graft exposed by the Tulsa Star was opened last Saturday when T. J. Elliott of Muskogee, president of the State League went into the Superior Court of Muskogee County and secured a warrant for the arrest of A. J. Smitherman editor of the Tulsa Star charging criminal libel. Deputy Sheriff W. L. Robbins of Muskogee came to Tulsa with the warrant Tuesday morning and went to the police station where he found Chief Burns who accompanied him to the Star office where the editor was found. Up on the recommendation of Chief Burns the editor was notified of the warrant and allowed togo on his own recognition with instructions to be ready to leave for Muskogee at 3.17. Learning of his arrest a number of the editors friends set about to make bond for him and in less than an hour's time the following citizens had offered their service: Lawyer H. A. Guess, W. L. McKee, J. H. Goodwin, Rev. Jas. A. Johnson, Capt. T. D. Jackson, Rev. C. L. Netherland, E. A. Loupe, H. T. Wilson, G. W. Tate, M. J. Lathon, F. C. Smith, H. Evans, Wm. Walker, H. J. Caver, J. B. Stradford, O. W. Gulley, W. McCoy, R. M. Foreman, Dr. L. H. Johnson of Coweta, and a number of others whose names were not taken. It was not necessary, however, for all of these to sign the $500 bond and only four of them, J. B. Stradford, J. H. Goodwin, Wm. Walker and H. J. Caver signed as sureties for the editors appearance for trial. Promptly at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon the editor accompanied by a number of his enthusiastic friends arrived at the Midland Valley depot and waited for the deputy sheriff. As the editor was boarding the train his friends assured him that bond could be made for him in almost any amount, and smiling his appreciation he waved them a hearty goodye, telling them he would return at 1:15 on the Katy the same night. The trip to Muskogee was without any important incident and the sheriff and his prisoner discussed politics and Elliottics. Arriving at Muskogee we found a few of "The Boys in the Trenches" on hand ready to make bond for the editor, but it was not necessary. However, just for the sake of doing the thing, W. H. Twine, Jr., son of a life long friend of the editor insisted on becoming one of the sureties. Sheriff Ledbeter had gone home when the deputy arrived with his prisoner but he was easily reached by phone and when told that Smitherman had arrived with a bond the sheriff immediately ordered his release. After spending a pleasant The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 12 1914. --- evening with frineds the editor returned to his family and friends at Tulsa. Thus opens the second chapter in what promises to be one of the greatest and bitterest fights against graft ever stgged any where in the United States by a Colored newspaper. Property Scheduled to cover the editors bond of $500.00 amounts to $6,600.00. The arrest of the editor on a warrant sworn to by Elliott for criminal libel we have good reason to believe, was the result of malicious premeditation, executed with a vendictive desire to humiliate and intimidate the man who has dared to expose some of his acts to the public. Whatever THE TULSA STAR has said concerning Elliott it has acted in good faith and can substantiate every statement ever published in these columns. No one knows better than Elliott himself that we have not libeled him, but if it takes the verdict of a jury to convince him that he has not been slandered we believe we have the goods. At any rate, the fight is on to the finish and in the end the public, as well as Elliott, will know that THE TULSA STAR is to be relied upon to deal honestly and fairly even with grafters of the deepest dye. Now that the editor of the Star will be hauled into court to answer Elliott's charge of libel we will not be content until every detail of the case is thoroughly aired. We have known for some time that it has been Elliott's ambition to land the editor of the Star in jail. It is said that he made a trip to Tulsa at one time for this purpose but for some reason he failed to get a warrant. It is also known that Elliott and others of the gang have cowardly assailed the reputation of the editor with willful and malicious intent and he is no doubt relying on this kind of unmanlyatics of sustain his case in court. But we have nothing to fear, and serve notice now that we are asking no quarters and will give none. This is not a case of Elliott vs. Smitherman. It is rather a case of Elliott vs. Right and Justice, and Smitherman vs. graft and corruption. Elliott seeks vengeance, Smitherman seeks only a square deal. We are willing to submit our case to the jury and an unbias public without fear of the consequence. We ask no favors, but let justice be done. BUSINESS LEAGUE PROGRAM.

HUNDRED MEMBERS OF THE CRAFT READY TO JOIN IN THE SCRAP That the public may know that the work of THE TULSA STAR in denouncing Elliott, president of the Oklahoma State League, for the part he played in the very shaby treatment accorded the Press Ass'n. in August, etc., is appreciated outside of Oklahoma, we beg to submit the following letter received last week from Hon. Melvin J. Chisum, President of the National Negro Press Ass'n., Baltimore, Md. This letter came unsolicited and shows beyond a doubt that the Star's efforts to expose Elliott is liberally endorsed by the National Negro Press Ass'n. and further that the boys of the craft are willing to join in the fight at our bidding. Local League To Help Poor STOCKING COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED At the meeting of the local business League last Monday night a committee was appointed to cheer the hearts of the poor Colored children of Tulsa on The letter in full follows: Baltimore, Md., 11-30-14 My dear Brother Smitherman:— Accept my highest approval for the lessons you are giving Mr. Elliott of Muskogee in repayment for the very shabby rreatment he accorded the Press Association in August. You deserve marked credit for the excellent attention and treatment you have given the matter and you may depend upon it you shall be accorded special honor in the Press Association. It would have been highly improper and decidedly inethical for me or any of us outside the state of Oklahoma to have led the arraignment, it should have come from a source within the State and you have certainly done the thing needful in finest order to the complete satisfaction of the Press "Gang" and I salute you for the brave, courageous, splendid man which you are. Quite a crowd of members of the Press Ass'n. met in Washington on Thanksgiving Day and all hands voted you a compliment and I here extend it to you with sincere cordiality. When ever you have any scrapping to be done and you need help there is a round hundred fellows of the craft which you can bank on to say what you wish us to say. We have all been very hard driven since the summer season, we have not done many things which we desired, because of the very tight conditions in the money market, but I am going to visit you at Tulsa in January 1915. With sincere good wishes and a hope that you and yours are enjoying the very best there is going, I am, Yours to command, MELVIN J. CHSIUM. Hon. A. J. Smitherman, Editor, The Tulsa Star, Tulsa, Okla. Quotations .....General Music .....Audience Reading .....Miss T. Patterson Vocal Solo .....Mrs. M. M. Martin Address .....Prof. J. W. Hughes Benediction Local League To Help Poor STOCKING COMMITTEE IS APPOINTED At the meeting of the local business League last Monday night a committee was appointed to cheer the hearts of the poor Colored children of Tulsa on Christmas. Just what method the committee will pursue is not known, but if the spirit manifested Monday night prevails nothing will be left undone to induce old Santa Claus to visit the poor children who would otherwise know nothing of the joys of Christmas morning. This is indeed a worthy work for the league to undertake and every good man who believes in trying to make the world happier should assist the committee. There are quite a number of poor children in Tulsa as well as in Belgum who need clothes and food, and it would be well for us to remember the old adage: "Charity begins at home." Capt. Jackson, Vice-President of the League presided and assistant sec. Loupe took the minutes. The following committee was appointed to look after the poor: Prof. J. W. Hughes, chairman, Mrs. Anna Warren, Mrs. C. Dearman, O. W. Gurley and Mrs. Callins. Through the efforts of E. A. Loupe and Dr. J. J. McKeavor of the Improvement committee, Mr. O'Malory of the City Park Board was present and talked to the league about beautifying the residence district. He said the Park Board will set out trees and guarantee them at the rate of 75c each and encouraged the league to push this feature of its work. New members to join Monday night were H. D. Evans, P. L. Phillips, J. E. Fields and Dr. B. F. Smith, recently of Ardmore who delivered a short address to the league The Business League Program for last Sunday afternoon was the usual success. The time allotted for the address by Mr. Howell, business man of Ft. Smith, in his absence was taken up in discussing current events, in which quite a number took part. By suggestion of J. B. Stradford, Prof. Hughes led a discussion of the European war which was closed by a very ably and satisfactory comment by lawyer Roberts responding to a special request. Miss Dorothy Patterson maintained her high place as a songster by the rendition of a solo. al Libel! Press The Stars' Fight Murder Trial Up Today The preliminary trial of W. Guest for the murder of John Hall in the Cincinnati Club last Monday will be held in Justice Lee Daniels Court this morning. Guest shot Hall during a fight over a game, after the latter had severely cut him about the head and face. Hall died in the P and S Hospital Tuesday morning. The body accompanied by his wife was shipped to Humensville, Mo. for burial. Uncle Starts Up Again The old Lyric Theatre Bob Rogers, Prop. and Mrs. Louse Rogers, Mgr. opened for the season last Friday night under the name of The New Lincoln Theatre with the Stovall Stock Company featuring the best musical comedy seen in Tulsa since "The Smart Set" played at the Grand Theatre in Sept. Mrs. Rogers is assisted in the management by E. D. Lynwood and both are highly pleased with the ready patronage they are receiving; The Stovall Stock Company with three good teams Mr. and Mrs. Stovall, Mr. and Mrs. Shafer, Mr. and Mrs. Porter, and John Day as a lone Star performer and monologist, is drawing the crowd. Will Increase Stock After January 30th The Oklahoma Realty and Investment Company of this city at a meeting of the board of directors held recently decided to continue selling stock at par value, $1.00 until Jan. 30, 1915, after which time the value of the stock will be increased. Mr. Stradford, president of the company is now making efforts to make the final payment on the business lot on N. Greenwood owned by the company by that time so the company will be in a position to do some big work another year. Public Library The Public Reading Room and Library for Colored people of this city has grown much more in demand since moving into its new quarters in the lobby of the Tulsa Star office. Quite a number of the young ladies of the city, school children and some teachers avail themselves of the privileges of the Library. This is an encouraging sign and the management will make special efforts to make the library more attractive. The Library needs more books and magazines and the general public is requested to give whatever assistance possible in money or books to foster this worthy institution. BOTH BATTLED FOR POSITION Efficiency Experts In Humorous Contest for Best Place at an Important Conference. "They carry drill and discipline too far. They're like the two efficiency experts." The speaker was Representative William Gordon. He was criticizing one of the contending armies. "Yes," Mr. Gordon went on, "in their worship of drill they remind me of Black and White. "Black, old fellow, that was a queer conference you had with White the other day,' a friend said. 'When I looked in on you, you were both sprinting round and round the office like two racers or two prize fighters.' "Black frumped "Well, see,' he said, 'I'm very well read up on efficiency, and I know of course, that in an important conference you must always have your back to the light, so that your thoughts can't be read. But White, too, has been taking an efficiency course, I guess. He is certainly on to that dodge. Why, when we finally got down to business we were both sitting on the window sill.'" How Luxury Kills. The disastrous effects of luxury are well shown in the death rate in new York city's west side between Eighty-sixth and One Hundred and Twenty-fifth streets, a region which consists largely of palatial residences and elaborate apartments, and where sanitation and hygiene have done their utmost to provide against disease. Here the mortality is 18.70 per thousand, a startling figure when it is remembered that the rate for the whole country is about fifteen and the highest rate in New York, that for the East side district south of Grand street, only 26.31 per thousand. Late hours, heavy eating and drinking, and sedentary habits are advanced by the statisticians as being responsible for this high death rate among New York's well-to-do. Red Sox Annoved the Bull. A pair of vivid red socks that showed brightly between a somber-hued black suit and white shoes he was wearing, nearly caused the death of John Schroyer, a young farmer, when a big Jersey bull, evidently enraged by the sight of the bright colors, attacked and tossed him about its pasture, which he was crossing. Schroyer's cries attracted men In an automobile and they beat the animal off with fence rails. Schroyer suffered three broken ribs and a lacerated face ano was nearly scalped.-Kilines Grove (Pa.) Dispatch to New York World. Cat Is a Hardened Hobo. A belt line car stopped near where Daniel Ross and several other men were standing. One of them discovered a cat crouched on the forward trucks, seemingly satisfied. Supposing the animal had been placed there by some heartless person, and was afraid to jump off, the men pulled it out, though it objected. After being turned loose it jumped upon the trucks of the next car that came along, spitting in feline fashlow at the men who interrupted its trip. Prosperity (Mo.) Dispatch to the St. Louis Times.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Negroes in Muskogee county, according to the city superintendent of schools, own and control 50,000 acres of valuable agricultural and oil land; they own city real estate in Muskogee that is worth $1,500,000. Their business concerns in Muskogee have a value of at least $1,000,000 and include one clothing store for men, one drygoods store, one ice company, one plumbing and plumbing supplies shop, six contractors and builders, 12 barber shops, three concrete contractors, 50 groceries, four drug stores, one harness shop, 20 restaurants, eight blacksmith shops, 12 shoe shops, 12 tailor shops, one dairy, two ice cream stores, ten coal dealers, two undertakers, one steam laundry, three livery stables, 12 real estate brokers, four cab lines, one moving picture theater, one bottling works. Muskogee has four fine schools for its Negro children. The boys in the Manual Training High school did all the carpentry work last year on a strictly modern, six-room cottage, 41 by 47 feet, worth $2,000 and renting for $20 a month when times are hard in Muskogee. The aggregate value of the Negro schools is $80,000 and 36 Negro teachers are employed in the public schools. That a prominent white Muskogeean, a public official, should know these facts concerning Negroes in business and other pursuits is in itself important, because it is a common occurrence to find that many, many of the best white people of the South do not know, and, therefore, cannot possibly understand, what the better Negroes are doing to reflect credit on themselves, their race and their community. "I firmly believe that there is a big field for the development of Negro music in America," writes Jesse Rees Europe, Negro musical composer, of New York, "we already have a number of composers of great ability, the two foremost being Harry Burleigh and Will Marlon Cook. Mr. Burleigh is remarkable for his development of Negro themes and Mr. Cook is a true creative artist. Then, of course, there was Coleridge Taylor, the greatest composer of the Negro race, although much of his music is not Negro in character. What the Negro needs is technical education, and this he is handicapped in acquiring. I myself have had to pick up my knowledge of music here and there, and the same holds true of my fellow composers. I do not believe that the Negro at present should attempt music distinctively Caucasian in type. The symphony, for instance, he does not really feel as a white musician would feel it. I believe it is in the creation of an entirely new school of music, a school developed from the basic Negro rhythms and melodies. The Negro is essentially a melodist, and his creation must be in the beautifying and enriching of the melodies which have become his. "The Negro's songs are the expression of the hopes and joys and fears of his race; were before the war the only method he possessed of answering back his boss. Into his songs he poured his heart, and, while the boss did not understand, the Negro's soul was calmed. These songs are the only folk music America possesses, and, folk music being the basis of so much that is most beautiful in the world, there is indeed hope for the art product of our race." A thrush has built its nest, laid three eggs, and in the natural course of events will, if undisturbed, rear its young on a scaffold pole at the secondary school for girls, England. The nest has been built at the junction of two poles. There are between 50 and 60 men working on the building, but the bird takes not the slightest notice of them. The National Women's Trades Union league is at the head of a movement to establish a national training school for women organizers, the object being to place trained organizers in the field to organize the women workers in all trades and occupations. The industrial commission of Ohio has issued its final report. It deals with the question of wages and hours of labor of women and girls employed in mercantile establishments in Ohio last year. A Russian publication has just put out its one hundredth issue after many difficulties. Twenty-five of the previous issues were confiscated for seditious articles. TULSA. OKLA., STAR The men who are working for the education of the Negroes in the South always come North with a cheering word of the results. Of course there are two sides to every problem. It would be possible to point out all sorts of discouraging things about the situation of the Negroes. But men like Booker T. Washington leave the gloom for somebody else to talk about. They point out the wonderful achievements of the race in its comparatively brief opportunity—the number of land owners, the amount of savings, the conspicuous instances of Negroes who have won for themselves a respected place in the community. Such a man as J. M. Metcalf, president of the Talladega college for Negroes at Talladega, Ala., who was in Kansas City last week. Ask Mr. Metcalf what results his school has achieved and he can point to plenty of specific instances of graduates who have become successful citizens, as well as to the large number of wholesome homes that have been established. He can tell of the farms that have shown the effect of work done on the school farm, of the spread of alfalfa cultivation, of better methods in all the region. He can refer to graduates who have gone into business and have proved successful merchants; of others who have started savings banks and have instilled the habit of saving and of thrift among the people. He can find cheer for the Negroes even in the political situation in the South in the fact that Negroes of standing in Southern communities find no obstacles put in the way of their voting. This side of the problem is one that is often lost sight of. It needs to be emphasized for the cheer of the good Negro citizens who in all parts of the country are working for the advancement of their people.—Kansas City Star. There have been many Negro poets in America, but none having a strange and pathetic story which could in any way parallel that of Phyllis Wheatley, born in Senegal, Africa, November 19, 1751, though the day of the month may be doubted, if not the year. She was a child of Africa in a period when slave ships were supposed to be engaged in legitimate commerce, and transported many of the people to those colonies that long after became states which abolished slavery and led in the anti-slavery movement which was really the incipience of secession and the Civil war. Phyllis Wheatley was stolen from her parents and tribe, or sold by one or both of them, and was brought to America in 1761 and sold to Mrs. John Wheatley, wife of a Boston merchant. Her mistress soon discovered that the little girl was remarkably bright and gave her a fair education in English and Latin; and she could hardly more than read and write before she gave utterance to her imaginations in rhyme, doing so with ease and fluency. She went to London with a son of Mrs. Wheatley and there was published a volume of "Poems" dedicated to the countess of Huntington. Sparks, in his "Life of Washington, said it could not be doubted that the poems "exhibit the most favorable evidence on record of the capacity of the African intellect for improvement." On the death of her master and mistress, she married a colored man, Doctor Peters, who "proved unworthy," and she died in great poverty in 1784. William Houston, a colored man, saved the lives of four Brunswick women when, seeing the peril of the automobile party, he rushed up to the machine and shoved it across the railroad track just as a fast moving freight train swept past. In crossing the railroad track the machine was slowed down, and just as it mounted the rails the engine went "dead." The freight train was only about one hundred yards distant. The engineer signaled with the whistle, but the machine remained on the track. It was too close for the engineer to stop the train before reaching the machine. Houston, who was standing near by, rushed to the car, gave it one hard shove and it crossed the track by only a few inches as the train came by. Brunswick (Ga.) Dispatch to New York Tribune. Among the defenses of the Panama canal there will be several batteries of 16 and 12-inch rifles, all of which will be concealed in such manner that, with the use of smokeless powder, it will be impossible for an enemy to locate them.

EMPTY MARKETS TURN TO AMERICA Europe Will Need Our Help, Says President in Message to Congress—Ships Our Greatest Need—New Tasks and Duties Imposed on United States by the War. Washington, Dec. 8.—The necessity for legislation to prodivide for transportation of our commerce by sea was strongly urged by President Wilson in his message to congress today. The president pointed out that the markets of the greater part of the world are empty and that ours is the duty to supply the needs not only of the countries of Europe, but also of the countries which hitherto have looked to Europe for their supplies. The message in part follows: The session upon which you are now entering will be the closing session of the Sixty-third congress, a congress, I venture to say, which will long be remembered for the great body of thoughtful and constructive work which it has done, in loyal response to the thought and needs of the country. While we have worked at our tasks of peace the circumstances of the whole age have been altered by war. What we have done for our own land and our own people we did with the best that was in us, whether of character or of intelligence, with sober enthusiasm and a confidence in the principles upon which we were acting which sustained us at every step of the difficult undertaking; but it is done. It has passed from our hands. We face new tasks, have been facing them these six months, must face them in the months to come—face them without partisan feeling, like men who have forgotten everything but a common duty and the fact that we are representatives of a great people whose thought is not of us but of what America owes to herself and to all mankind in such circumstances as these upon which we look amazed and anxious. Europe Will Need Our Help. War has interrupted the means of trade not only but also the processes of production. In Europe it is destroying men and resources wholesale and upon a scale unprecedented and appalling. There is reason to fear that the time is near, if it be not already at hand, when several of the countries of Europe will find it difficult to do for their people what they have hith so been always easily able to do, many essential and fundamental things. At any rate they will need our help and our manifold services as they have never needed them before; and we should be ready, more fit and ready than we have ever been. If is of equal consequence that the nations whom Europe has usually supplied with innumerable articles of manufacture and commerce can now get only a small part of what they formerly imported and eagerly look to us to supply their all but empty markets. Here are markets which we must supply, and we must find the means of action. We Need Ships. It is a very practical matter, a matter of ways and means. We have the resources, but are we fully ready to use them? And if we can made ready what we have, have we the means at hand to distribute it? We are not fully ready; neither have we the means of distribution. We are willing, but we are not fully able. We have the wish to serve and to serve greatly, generously; but we are not prepared as we should be. We are not ready to mobilize our resources at once. We are not prepared to use them immediately and at their best, without delay and without waste. To speak plainly we have grossly erred in the way in which we have stunted and hindered the development of our merchant marine. And now, when we need ships, we have not got them. I have come to ask you to remedy and correct these mistakes and omissions. The time and the circumstances are extraordinary, and so must our efforts be also. Use and Conservation. Fortunately, two great measures, finely conceived, the one to unlock, with proper safeguards, the resources of the national domain, the other to encourage the use of the navigable waters outside that domain for the generation of power, have already passed the house of representatives and are ready for immediate consideration and action by the senate. With the deepest earnestness I urge their prompt passage. And there is another great piece of legislation which awaits and should receive the sanction of the senate: I mean the bill which gives a larger measure of self-government to the people of the Philippines. I cannot believe that the senate will let this great measure of constructive justice await the action of another congress. Its passage would nobly crown the record of these two years of memorable labor. An Important Duty. But I think that you will agree with me that this does not complete the toll of our duty. How are we to carry our goods to the empty markets of which I have spoken if we have not the certain and constant means of transportation upon which all profitable and useful commerce depends? And how are we to get the ships if we wait for the trade to develop without them? The routes of trade must be actually opened—by many ships and regular sailings and moderate charges—before streams of merchandise will flow freely and profitably through them. Must Open Gates of Trade. Hence the pending shipping bill, discussed at the last session, but as yet passed by neither house. In my judgment such legislation is imperatively needed and cannot wisely be postponed. The government must open these gates of trade. I very earnestly hope that the congress will adopt this exceedingly important bill. The great subject of rural credits still remains to be dealt with, and it is a matter of deep regret that the difficulties of the subject have seemed to render it impossible to complete a bill for passage at this session. But it cannot be perfected yet. Economy Is Urged. Before I close, may I say a few words upon two topics, much discussed out of doors, upon which it is highly important that our judgments should be clear, definite and steadfast. One of these is economy in government expenditures. The sort of economy we ought to practice may be effected, and ought to be effected, by a careful study and assessment of the tasks to be performed; and the money spent ought to be made to yield the best possible returns in efficiency and achievement. And, like good stewards, we should so account for every dollar of our appropriations as to make it perfectly evident what it was spent for and in what way it was spent. It is not expenditure but extravagance that we should fear being criticized for; not paying for the legitimate enterprises and undertakings of a great government whose people command what it should do, but adding what will benefit only a few or pouring money out for what need not have been undertaken at all or might have been postponed or better and more economically conceived and carried out. The nation is not niggardly; it is very generous. It will chide us only if we forget for whom we pay money out and whose money it is we pay. These are large and general standards, but they are not very difficult of application to particular cases. The National Defense. The other topic I shall take leave to mention goes deeper into the principles of our national life and policy. It is the subject of national defense. It cannot be discussed without first answering some very searching questions. It is said in some quarters that we are not prepared for war. What is meant by being prepared? Is it meant that we are not ready upon brief notice to put a nation in the field, a nation of men trained to arms? Of course we are not ready to do that; and we shall never be in time of peace so long as we retain our present political principles, and institutions. And what is it that it is suggested we should be prepared to do? To defend ourselves against attack? We have always found means to do that, and shall find them whenever it is necessary without calling our people away from their necessary tasks to render compulsory military service in times of peace. Fear No Nation. We are at peace with all the world. No one who speaks counsel based on fact or drawn from a just and candid interpretation of realities can say that there is reason for fear that from any quarter our independence or the integrity of our territory is threatened. Dread of the power of any other nation we are incapable of. We are not jealous of rivalry in the fields of commerce or of any other peaceful achievement. We mean to live our lives as we will; but we mean also to let live. We are, indeed, a true friend to all the nations of the world, because we theraten none, covet the possessions of none, desire the overthrow of none. Our friendship can be accepted and is accepted without reservation, because it is offered in a spirit and for a purpose which no one need ever question or suspect. Therein lies our greatness. We are the champions of peace and of concord. And we should be very jealous of this distinction which we have sought to earn. Just now we should be particularly jealous of it, because it is our dearest present hope that this character and reputation may presently, in God's providence, bring us an opportunity to counsel and obtain peace in the world and reconciliation and a healing settlement of many a matter that has cooled and interrupted the friendship of nations. This is the time above all others that we should wish and resolve to keep our strength by self-possession, our influence by preserving our ancient principles of action. Ready for Defense. From the first we have had a clear and settled policy with regard to military establishments. We never have had, and while we retain our present principles and ideals we never shall have, a large standing army. If asked, are you ready to defend yourselves? We reply, most assuredly, to the utmost; and yet we shall not turn America into a military camp. We must depend in every time of national peril, in the future as in the past, not upon a standing army, nor yet upon a reserve army, but upon a citizenry trained and accustomed to arms. It will be right enough, right American policy, based upon our accustomed principles and practices, to provide a system by which every citizen who will volunteer for the training may be made familiar with the use of modern arms, the rudiments of drill and maneuver, and the maintenance and sanitation of camps. We should encourage such training and make it a means of discipline which our young men will learn to value. The National Guard of the states should be developed and strengthened by every means which is not inconsistent with our obligations to our own people or with the established policy of our government. And this, also, not because the time or occasion specially calls for such measures, but because it should be our constant policy to make these provisions for our national peace and safety. More than this carries with it a reversal of the whole history and character of our polity. More than this, proposed at this time, permit me to say, would mean merely that we had lost our self-possession, that we had been thrown off our balance by a war with which we have nothing to do, whose causes cannot touch us, whose very existence affords us opportunities of friendship and disinterested service which should make us ashamed of any thought of hostility or fearful preparation for trouble. This is assuredly the opportunity for which people and a government like ours were raised up, the opportunity not only to speak but actually to embody and exemplify the counsels of peace and amity and the lasting concord which is based on justice and fair and generous dealing. Ships Our Natural Bulwarks. A powerful navy we have always regarded as our proper and natural means of defense; and it has always been of defense that we have thought never of aggression or of conquest But who shall tell us now what sort of navy to build? We shall take leave to be strong upon the seas, in the future as in the past; and there will be no thought of offense or of provocation in that. Our ships are our natural bulwarks. When will the experts tell us just what kind we should construct—and when will they be right for ten years together, if the relative efficiency of craft of different kinds and uses continues to change as we have seen it change under our very oyes in these last few months? But I turn away from the subject. It is not new. There is no new need to discuss it. Let there be no misconception. The country has been misinformed. We have not been negligent of national defense. We are not un mindful of the great responsibility resting upon us. We shall learn and profit by the lesson of every experience and every new circumstances; and what is needed will be adequately done. Great Duties of Peace. I close, as I began, by reminding you of the great tasks and duties of peace which challenge our best powers and invite us to build what will last, the tasks to which we can address ourselves now and at all times the free-hearted zest and with all the finest gifts of constructive wisdom we possess. To develop our life and our resources; to supply our own people, and the people of the world as their need arises, from the abundant plenty of our fields and our marts of trade; to enrich the commerce of our own states and of the world with the products of our mines, our farms, and our factories, with the creations of our thought and the fruits of our character—this is what will hold our attention and our enthusiasm steadily, now and in the years to come, as we strive to show in our life as a nation what liberty and the inspirations of an emancipated spirit may do for men and for societies, for individuals, for states, and for mankind.

MENTION PAPER YOU SAW AD.IN CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY A REMARKABLE FAMILY OF ACTORS, in 1753 John Ward, an English theatrical manager, opposed a match between his daughter and a member of his company, not wishing her to marry an actor. He finally gave consent, however, consoling himself with the thought that the young man was not much of an actor. In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddons. The oldest son, John Phillip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble." The eleventh child, Charles, was a renowned comedian, while his daughter, Fanny Kemble, was probably the best known to the public of all the family. Her sister, Adelaide, attained considerable popularity as a public singer. Her son married the daughter of General Grant. Phone 211 $ ^{2} $ 1911 Joseph B Browne
