Philadelphia.—In this city in May, 1916, will be held the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The local committee met the second week in July and formulated its plans. Rev. C. C. Dunlap, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, is the chairman of the local committee. Various committees were appointed. The committee on publicity is headed by Dr. R. R. Wright, Jr., editor of the Christian Recorder. There are a committee on homes, a committee on entertainment, a committee on public worship and others for other important matters. The African Methodist Episcopal church was started in Philadelphia in 1787, when Richard Allen, who was a local preacher in the Methodist Episcopal church, led a number of Negroes from St. George's Methodist Episcopal church into an independent church called Bethel. In 1794 was REV. C. C. DUNLAP, D. D. purchased an old blacksmith shop, which was moved from Fourth and Spruce streets upon the lot at Sixth street and Pine. This property has been in their possession ever since. It is now improved and valued at $125,000. Recently two three-story flats have been built upon a part of the property south of the church, which are valued at $15,000 each. This piece of property is the oldest property owned by any Negro organization in the United States. Independent church started by members of the race in various parts of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Baltimore grew steadily, and in 1816 there were enough to form a denominational organization. They met in April, 1816, in this city and called themselves the African Methodist Episcopal church. The leader was Richard Allen, who had already gained considerable reputation for his energy, thrift and integrity during the plague of yellow fever which raged in Philadelphia in 1793, when Governor Clarkson made a public statement of thanks to Richard Allen for his services in this epidemic. Richard Allen was made first bishop of the A. M. E. church. Since that time there have been forty bishops elected. The church has grown from a few members in Philadelphia to nearly a million members, scattered in every state of the United States, in West Africa, South Africa, South America, Canada and other parts of the world. The ministry has increased from the first, who was Richard Allen, to 7,000, representing among them some of the most cultured men of the colored race. The church has been a pioneer in the uplift of the race in many lines. Long before the emancipation of the Negro it started an institution at Wilberforce, O., for the higher education of the Negro. This institution now has property valued at $750,000 and is rated as one of the leading educational institutions among Negroes in Amer- ica. Besides this Institution, there are colleges and academies throughout the south. Soon after the war the missionaries of this church were sent south to bring the colored people into the organization. In South Carolina, in the early eighties, Allen university was started and is now in a flourishing condition. About the same time Morris Brown university was started in Atlanta, Ga., and since that time there have been established Edward Waters college in Jacksonville, Fla.; Kittrell college, in North Carolina; Wayman institute, in Kentucky; Turner Normal and Industrial school, in Tennessee; Payne university, in Alabama; Lampton college, in Louisiana; Campbell college, in Mississippi; Paul Quinn college, in Texas; Shorter college, in Arkansas; Western university, in Kansas City, Mo.; Shorter high school, in West Africa; Wilberforce college, in South Africa, with other schools of lesser grade throughout the country and in South America and the West Indies. Before the civil war the oldest Negro newspaper now in existence was established by this church in the state of Pennsylvania. In 1848 a magazine was started in Pittsburgh, and in 1852 the Christian Recorder was started in Philadelphia. This newspaper is now the only newspaper existing among Negroes which was started before the civil war. Among the men who have been its editors are Bishop B. T. Tanner, now retired, the oldest of the bishops of the A. M. E. church; Bishop B. F. Lee, senior active bishop of the A. M. E. church. This periodical is circulated not only in the United States, but in South America and Africa as well. Besides this paper there are five other periodicals which are controlled by the church. The Southern Christian Recorder, published at Columbus, Ga.; the Western Christian Recorder, at Kansas City, Mo.; the A. M. E. Review, in Philadelphia; the Voice of Missions in New York, and the Woman's Christian Recorder, in Nashville, Tennessee. The financial system of the church is based upon the payment of $1 per year from each member, which is called "dollar money," and is divided so as to furnish salaries of the bishops and most of the general officers of the church and a pension fund for widows and orphans and retired preachers. It furnishes also a part of the missionary fund and the educational fund. The headquarters are located in Washington. The publication department is located in Philadelphia and was incorporated in 1855. In 1852 the Sunday school department was set apart. These two departments publish the literature used by the church, which is not only printed, but is written by members of the church. The Sunday School union at Nashville is said to be the finest publishing house in the world owned by Negroes. The bishop of this district, the Right Rev. Evans Tyree, M. D., D. D., is sparing no paints toward arrangements to make the celebration of the centennial anniversary one of the greatest in the history of the colored race. There will be about 600 delegates, of whom forty will come from Africa and South America and from many other foreign parts. Among them will be two former Philadelphia pastors who have been elected bishops to foreign points, Bishop J. Albert Johnson, bishop of South Africa, and Bishop William H. Heard, bishop of West Africa. Ohio Knights of Pythias Are Active. Members of local lodges, Knights of Pythias, throughout the state of Ohio are making preparations for the meeting of the supreme lodge encampment to be held in Columbus in August. The uniform rank has already commenced drill practice, as the contest for the prize at the coming meeting will be the most exacting in every detail of any yet scheduled by the state grand lodge at an encampment.

Hyde Tells Thrilling Story of How Officers and Men of Famous Regiment Kept Together Under the Most Adverse Circumstances—State Comes to Their Rescue. Chicago.—Henry M. Hyde gives the following account of the struggles and achievements of the Eighth Illinois regiment in war and in peace and its efforts to secure an armory: The transport sailed from Tampa with 1,500 men of the regiment on board. Peace with Spain had not been declared. They looked forward to a taste of fighting with the dons. Off Santiago they learned that the war was over. Too late for any chance of glory, plenty of hard work remained. For eight months they built roads and telegraph lines, cleaned streets, did all manner of hard and dirty jobs. The old Spanish town and the country round about got the first thorough cleaning in their history. When the boys got back home their old rented armory had been sold. An ancient livery stable was the best quarters they could get. Up in the loft they stored part of their equipment and supplies. Down on the barn floor they drilled night after night. Privates who had driven coal wagons or handled shovels all day came in two nights a week to the livery barn and drilled from 8 o'clock to 10:30. Commissioned and noncommissioned officers spent more time on their paper work and studies, turning old box stalls into company rooms and offices, doing their best to keep the standard of the regiment among the highest. Apparently they succeeded. Officers of the regular army sent to inspect it reported year after year that the six companies located in Chicago ranked as high as any militia organization in the state in soldiery efficiency. More than ten years in the old barn! Then it was sold, and the best the regiment could do was to move away and hunt up another. The second old livery stable was in worse condition than the first. But the men and officers stuck to their work. In 1914 they got an appropriation from the legislature of Illinois to build a real armory—their first. Some of the officers had gone out and begged enough money to buy a site. When they got it paid for certain residents in the neighborhood made up their minds that an armory would be a nuisance. They brought pressure to bear, and the regiment had to sell the site. They bought a second site, and a second time plans were made for the building. A second time people in the neighborhood raised an awful row. They couldn't think of allowing a lot of rough soldiers to drill in their vicinity. A third time a site was purchased. This time the contracts were let, and the work of putting up the building began promptly. Last winter, when the shell was under cover and the regiment found it would have to move into the uncompleted building or else into the street, the discovery was made that no arrangements had been made to heat or light the armory and that no money remained with which to pay for the work. The colonel of the regiment came to the front for it. He signed notes for $8,000, and the boilers and lights were put in. But meanwhile the regiment—or that part of it located in Chicago—had increased in size. Two down state companies were mustered out of the service. Units to take their places were recruited in Chicago. Room had to be made for eight companies of the line, in addition to the headquarters company, the hospital corps, the machine gun company, the drum and life corps, the supply company and the band—800 men in all. The legislature which recently adjourned passed a bill appropriating the money to finish the job. Just as soon as it is signed by Governor Dunne, probably within the next few days, work will be begun and rushed to a finish. In October, 1914, when the corner stone was in aid, Governor Dunne was one of the orators. He said that the diligence and patience shown by the regiment in drill and rifle practice under the most adverse conditions conceivable and without any hope of financial reward deserved recognition and that he was glad that it was getting it during his administration. The Elthigh Illinois is made up entirely of colored troops. Eight of the twelve line companies and all the special corps are located in Chicago. The new and unfinished armory stands at Forest avenue and Thirty-fifth street. Colonel F. A. Denison is the commanding officer who signed the note for $8,000 which made it possible to put in the-heating plant and electric lights. Colorado Pythians Meet In Denver. Damon lodge No. 5 and Pythians lodge No. 11, jurisdiction of Colorado, entertained the delegates and visitors to the grand session of the order of Knights of Pythias held in Denver from July 28 to 30 inclusive. The opening session was held at Shorter church. ACTIVE WORK OF SOCIETY FOR HISTORICAL RESEARCH Yonkers Organization Presents Program at Church Anniversary. An interesting program was presented at Beth Tphilah Fourth Moravian church, One Hundred and Thirty-sixth street, New York, the third week in July, which was "Negro Society For Historical Research night" of the series of anniversary meetings held at the church, J. E. Bruce, president of the society, presided and gave a brief and lucid resume of the work the society has done and is doing. After this he introduced Professor J. E. Kwegyir Agrey of the Gold Coast, Africa, one of the members of the society and professor of English literature at Livingstone college, North Carolina, who in an eloquent and impassioned address held the audience spellbound for nearly an hour while he told of the glorious possibilities of the African race and of the splendid work which the society is quietly doing in gathering valuable and useful information, rare books, manuscripts and pamphlets which vindicate the character of the Negro and confuse and confound his traducers. Mr. A. Schomberg, secretary of the society, told of the part the Negro has played in the early history of Texas as a pioneer and cited some facts from Spanish history showing that the Negro has been very much in evidence in the Americas as a soldier, discoverer and adventurer. Dr. C. D. Martin, minister of the church and vice president of the society, made a strong appeal in favor of the establishment in New York city of a permanent home for the society, where the public could have access to its wonderful collection of rare historical Africana. A bountie collation was served at the close of the exercises. Among the distinguished guests present were Professor Fileen and G. D. Gunter, M. A., of Kingston, British West Indies. The headquarters of the Negro Society For Historical Research are at Yonkers, N. Y. New Minister at Pittsburgh Church. The members of the Ebenezer Baptist church, Pittsburgh, closed a brilliant series of meetings incident to the installing of its new minister, the Rev. J. C. Austin, the first week in July. The installation sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. E. W. Moore of Philadelphia. Baptist ministers of the city churches and those in the vichy, with their choirs, took part at the various services during the week. The Rev. Mr. Austin is in the prime of life, well qualified and able to lead. The church makes a fresh start under favorable circumstances. Mosaic Templars Meet at Denison, Tex. The annual meeting of the state grand lodge, Mosaic Templars of America, was held at Denison, Tex., from July 20 to 22 inclusive. A. W. Weatherford, state grand master of the national order, presided. The attendance was large, each temple and chamber being fully represented. Life Amid Deathlike Stillness. In the rainless interior of Australia there is a "silence of the grave." This deathlike silence has a peculiarly depressing effect. If two men are camped and one of them goes to a distant township to get provisions while the other remains behind to look after the camp, the man who is to remain says to his friend in forcible, gold fields language: "Now, Bill, don't be long away. You know what kind of a place this is to live in by yourself," or words to that effect. If his mate is away for two or three days the silence gets on the man's nerves and in the end he shouts to make a noise. And often he is afraid of the sound of his own voice—Exchange.

LINCOLN AWARDS PRIZES TO MANY President Rendall Delivers Baccalaureate Sermon and Liberian Consul Ernest Lyon Addresses the Literary Societies—Graduating Class Presents the University With Check For $100. Although the commencement exercises at Lincoln university, Pennsylvania, are always good, those which marked the close of the 1915 term were considered to have been the best in the history of the institution. The class was one of the largest that has been graduated for many years. The exercises commenced by the celebration of the anniversary of the Philosophian Literary society and the Garnet Literary association. Hon. Ernest Lyon, consul general of the Republic of Liberia to the United States, delivered an address on "The Genius, Characteristics and Contribution of the Black Race to the Civilizations of Mankind." The eighth annual Opdyke prize debate was held. This is a contest between debating teams representing the two literary societies and is always an interesting event because of the friendly rivalry between them. The question for debate this year was "The Best Interests of United States Demand a Permanent and Substantial Increase In Our Army and Navy." The affirmative fell to the lot of the Philosophian society, which was represented by the following: N. A. Holmes, New Jersey; H. H. Cain, Georgia; A. F. White, Virginia; alternate, D. G. Hill, Maryland. The Garnet Literary association had the negative in the debate. It was represented by A. S. Beckham, South Carolina; H. Brown, Pennsylvania, and H. B. Burton. The judges for the debate were Professor Samuel Dickey of McCormick Theological seminary, Chicago, formerly professor of Greek in Lincoln; Dr. W. P. Finney of John Hopkins university, Baltimore, and Mr. John Johnson of Brazil. The presiding officer was Professor S. C. Hodge. The decision was given to the Philosophian society, which had the affirmative. The individual medal for the best debater was awarded to A. F. White. The baccalaureate sermon was preached by the president, Dr. J. B. Rendall. At the class day exercises orations were delivered in Greek, Latin, Spanish, German and native African. They were all of high merit and delyedier in the usual forceful Lincoln style. One of the features of the class day exercises was the presentation to the university by the class of a check for $100. In the junior orator contest there were five participants. The orations were as follows: H. B. Burton, British West Indies, "A Memorial Obligation"; A. E. Henry, British West Indies, "Immigration"; E. M. Murray, South Carolina, "Man In the Making"; C. R. Saulter, North Carolina, "Neighborhood and Brotherhood"; and C. W. Wood, Virginia, "International Peace." The first prize was awarded to C. W. Wood, Virginia, and second to H. B. Burton, British West Indies. The Latin salutatory, considered one of the best in recent years, was delivered by Francis C. Sumner of Virginia. Leo R. Commission, British West Indies, spoke on "Silent Flowers" and A. F. White of Virginia on "A Permanent Peace." The valedictory was delivered by N. A. Holmes of New Jersey. The following prizes were awarded: Bradley medal to Norman A. Holmes; the class of 1890 prize to Francis C. Sumner; temperance prize in oratory to W. G. Price; second to L. M. Chamberlain. The Moore prizes in English were awarded as follows: Sophomore class, first prize to William P. Young; second was divided between Winston Douglass and Willis G. Price. In the freshman class, first prize to Richard T. Lockett; second to George A. Dalley, with honorable mention to Charles H. Stewart. The Annie Louise Finney prize, which is awarded to the student who best exemplifies the ideals of Lincoln university, was given to Harrison H. Cain; the Stanford memorial prize in mathematics to Winston Douglass first and Thomas J. Crawford second. Exercises were conducted by the class in the Mary Dodd Brown chapel, after which the class banquet was held in the refectory. A large number of the alumni were present.

Ha Zelda Minister. Danville, Va.—One of the most active workers in the state of Virginia and one of the leading ministers is the Rev. S. A. Moses, pastor of the High Street Baptist church in this city and vice president of the Baptist state convention. He has earned his place by hard work and study and is in a position to extend sympathy to the young people struggling to get a foothold in this country or in any part of the world. The Rev. Mr. Moses is yet a young man. He was born March 17, 1877, on a farm in Charlotte county, Va. His parents, Jefferson and Jane Moses, were not overladen with this world's goods, so that it is needless to say that young Moses' opportunity for getting an education was meager and limited. S. A. MOSES, D. D. Such schools as were opened in that section of the country the little fellow attended. He had been in the world just twenty years when he entered the Virginia Theological seminary and college under the late Professor G. W. Hayes. He stuck to it and finished the academic course and later the college course, coming out in 1904. He was then prepared for work. His first work was as superintendent of missions for the Virginia Baptist state convention, and for this he received a salary of $100 a month. Two years were spent in this position. At the close of his work he accepted a call to the First Baptist church of Harrisonburg, Va., where he put in some of his best work, making friends and at the same time adding many to the church. Dr. Moses remained in this charge for six years. While in Harrisonburg he made himself useful in the affairs of the state, demonstrating his ability as a great orator and preacher. A number of calls were extended him during the stay, but he remained there until he had accomplished something for the people and the church. It was in 1912 that he heard the call from the High Street Baptist church, in this city, and after prayerful consideration accepted it.

Whites and Blacks have a “Joy Party’ The residence of Mrs, Callie Hou- ston, a white woman, was raided early Wednesday morning, in the old red light district at 204 Eleventh Ave. So. All the women who were ar- rested were white except one, the male contingent were all Negroes, among them representative citizens. Some secured bail and the case. will be heard Saturday before Judge Bard- well. Among those present were Willis Colter, Fred Abbey and B. F. Jones who were guests of “Doctor” M. W. Judy, a former dentist whose white lady friend was among the captured. Dancing was the special feature and it was kept up quite late. The place has had a bad reputation and the police desided to “break up the party.” One of the white women was employed at Power's Dry Goods Store. A quantity of beer and an opium layout were found. Mrs. How- ston was charged with keeping a dis- orderly house, eighteen persons were charged with being found in the place. The Star does not specialize on sensational news, and any mention of that raid is a case of We're damned if we do, or damned if we don't. ‘We are not in favor of these, all Negro men and all white women gatherings, and have always opposed them. They do us no good and this case is a warning to those who re- gard their standing in the commun- ity. Such men as Mr. Judy and other Masons, who are living under a cloud, are a disgrace to the fratern- ity. There are numerous such places supported by Negroes and they would not exist if men had more self respect. This is a serious condition, not a mat- ter of intermarriage or amalgamation. but an indecent intermingling of mar- ried people of opposite sexes and races, secrezated in buffet flats and assignation houses. The fact. that white men and Negro women have done these things under sanction of the authorities in past years (and they will always do it) does not justify emulation.

Now that it is certain that a county election will be held on Sept. 27, the Negroes are much interested. While there are many identified with the wet element, they do not propose to vote to sanction discrimination against them in many saloons. Sen. E. J. Westlake, is a leader of the wet fac- tion. He was elected by the Negro vote, and a committee will wait upon him. to place their grievances before him, Unless he uses his great in- fluence to bring about better condi- tions, they will vote for a dry county. Such PROHIBITION practices, as “refusing to serve Negro gentlemen” and placing humililiating signs “NE. GROES NOT WANTED HERE” will serve as a boomerang to many of the retail liquor dealers—and i should. If Negroes cannot get decent treamtent as other people in public places, then let us go fifty-fifty on the blind pigs, and there will be som equality to this “personal liberty” (?) issue. Any Negro who would vot to endorse the present conditions o the liquor traffic belongs to the clas that has brought most disgrace upo: his race—the Negro without eithe ‘manhood or principle.

On Christmas day, 1812, in the fight between the American privateer Gov- ernor Tompkins and the British man- of-war Laurel an elghteen pound shot took off both legs of John Thompson, a Negro sailor in the privateer, and mutilated the lower part of his body in a horrible manner. Although in his death agontes, the heroic fellow shout ed to those about him: “Fire away, boys! Nebber haul de colors down!” Standing near Captain Shaler about this moment was another Negro sea man, John Davis. He was ,fiortally injured in much the same manner and falling to the deck, begged that he might be thrown overboard immediate ly lest his mangled remains encumber the working of the guns.

Chicago's Mayor Appoints Min- later Special Bureau Chief. The Rev. A. J. Carey, D. D., | Ph. D,, minister at the Institu- tional A. M. B. church, Chicago, « for years a stanch friend of May- or William Hale Thompson, has "een appointed chief of a special - tnvestigation bureau in the office of the corporation counsel. He will have six assistants. The - salary of the chief will be $2,400 / per annum. The appointment | was made by instructions from | Mayor ‘Thompson, who wished | Dr. Carey to have a place which | he could hold without interfer- } ing with his church duties, | Dr. Carey 1s one of the most } prominent ministers of the A. M. ) BH. connection and has been re- } markably successful as the min- } ister and warden of the Institu- tonal chureb, and ts Ikely that he will be elected bishop at the } next quadrennial conference. He 1s known as the militant pastor. He ts a man of great elo- quence and moral courage. He has won fame for himself in fight- ing segregation in every form. In ‘a recent public speech Mayor ‘Thompson said: “Dr. Carey 1s one of my best friends, and the principal reason that I admire him fs the fact that he is fearless in his fight against injustice. He never condones wrongs against the colored people, as many #0 called leaders have done. I ad- mire the man who fears not to stand for the right.” ‘The Rev. Dr. Carey 1s a mem- ber of the Illinois commission for the coming Lincoln jubilee and half century celebration, which opens In Chicago on Sunday, Aug. 22, with a great religious con- gress. He is also interested in many other good movements for the advancement of the race. EQUAL RIGHTS IN FRANCE. Ce ee a ee en eg ee ileges to All Alike. | Paris.—The chamber of deputies In this city has three colored deputies rep- resenting the colonies from which they are sent by the suffrage of their fellow ‘citizens. A dispatch from Paris re- cently says that the race and color question that was raised in the French chamber of deputies by the bill of the ‘Negro deputy, M. Diagne, representing Senegal, providing for the extension of general compulsory military service in France to colonial municipalities whose inhabitants enjoy French citizenship, ‘was presented In numerous new lights ‘and complications at the session of the chamber. ‘The question of how to apportion a pension in cases of polygamist Sene- galese leaving several widows proved a poser for the deputies. ‘The minis- ter of war and the military committee of the chamber approved the general provisions of the Diagne bill, which provide for the incorporation with the regular French forces of the Sene- galese subject to compulsory service. ‘The action of the committee was Im- mediately attacked by Deputy La- broue, who pletured the difficulties arising from the presence in the French army of soldiers unable to speak French and of different religion and social customs. Deputy Labroue also raised the ques- tion of confusion in the payment of pensions to the widows of polygamous Senegalese. He proposed an amend- ment providing for the incorporation of such troops in native regiments en titled to pensions and the other rights of French citizens. ‘The speaker was frequently interrupted by protests trom the Negro Deputies Diagne, Lagrosil Were of Martinique and Candace and Bolsneut of Guadeloupe, Lagrosililere erying amid frantic applause, “Our fel ‘|tow citizens ask only to be allowed '| to serve the mother country, for whict "| they already have poured out thei | blood.” | Paul Deschanel, president of th ; chamber, was forced to quell the tu : mult by declaring that the entire cham ber felt “the same respect and th "| same love for all, whatever their race | or religion, who are fighting under th folds of the tricolored fiag.”. Deput ] Labroue insisted on the special reg! - | ments for leoshae who do not speal | French. Deputy Bolsneuf interrupted +] crying, “I then demand a special reg! ®| ment for Frenchmen unable to rea - | and write.” t| Deputy Dingne then obtained th floor and made an eloquent appeal o behalf of the blacks, reviewing th . | part they had played in conquering th ¢| French colonial empire. “For eleve - | months the Senegalese have demande 3 | to be allowed to serve France,” | + | said; “if they haven’t been permitte , | to do so it 1s the fault of the ministe e | of war.” 1 | Deputy Dingne sald that the widow - | of soldiers ought to receive pensior ; | even when there were several, but } 5 | added: “Native soldiers are not as Tic | a8 the average French soldier, who = | also poor and therefore has only or wife, Polygamy 1s a luxury of wealth ‘Alexandre Millerand, minister « war, said the Diagne bill seemed | | meet the wishes of a majority of. 2 | colontals and urged its passage. 1) » | bin was passed without change.

The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. ‘As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the woman- hood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian re- ligion really is he too often practices |one thing and preaches another. Often the foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her ess ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and dis- credit religion. This misrepresenta- tion of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and rag time music in her home. She is tose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor be- comes a woman of the street. Her | home is a hangout for “sliding elders” and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and wom- en and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church. They sit in the front heat chew gum, talle and keep their “gang” giggling. To speak to them is te throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the chor- isters. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These chil- dren of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble What we need is a new type o women in our homes as mothers and a new type of women in ow churches as leaders and examples fo the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing beer smelling, mouth running, stree trotting, home neglecting, conventior fever type of women are out of style |and from them may we soon be de livered. —The Worker. ‘The struggle for today, is not al- together for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln.
