IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Congressional Library Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper That's THE BEE MRS. LA FOLLETTE AGAINST SEGREGATION Wife of Wisconsin's Great Senator, Speaks Out Couragously Against Segregation. America's Noblest and Greatest Woman For Justice And Humanity "Outside of Washington I claim no personal knowledge of the "race question"; nor do I profess to speak of it here at the capitol with the authority of an expect investigator. But I do feel warranted in saying that considering their opportunities the Negroes of Washington have done well in the last quarter of a century and that they constitute a useful, well behaved and in general, a worthy citizenship. There are exceptional cases of unspeakable, brutality and outrage, but to judge, all the race by these exceptions is as unjust as to brand all white men as Digges, Caminettis, and Charltons. According to my observation, the race question has been taking very good care of itself here in Washington. Segregation in the schools and in the most of the churches, except the Catholic—where I observe the colored people are admitted to worship—has been accepted. In most public places, theaters, hotels, and all sorts of gatherings, the color line is drawn as if by mutual consent. The colored people themselves seem disinclined to raise the issue. While the District of Columbia Suffrage League specifically state that their movement discriminates against neither sex nor race, the color issue has been avoided at the Woman Suffrage Headquarters. Heretofore, in the street cars, and, as I understand it, in the government service there has been no official discrimination against the colored people. Since the advent of the new administration, however, there has been unquestionably a marked change, not perhaps so much in sentiment, as in the freer, stronger expression of the determination to impose upon the District of Columbia the usages of the Southern States in the matter of race segregation. Three bills have been introduced this session of Congress for segregation of the races in street cars of Washington by Mr. Clark, of Florida, Mr. Harrison, of Mississippi, and Mr. Thompson, of Oklahoma. There has been talk before this of Jim Crow cars here, but it has been only talk. Very few have really believed that a movement for segregation of the races in the street cars could be made to carry at the capital of the nation. But now the possibility is being regarded more seriously. There is no just reason for asking segregation on the street cars, of Washington, other than race prejudice. The colored people are, according to their employment, as clean and orderly as you could expect them to be. Segregation on the street cars has no more foundation in right than segregation of pedestrians on the highway. It seems strange that the very ones who consider it the greatest hardship to sit next a colored person in a street car, entrust their children to colored nurses and eat food prepared by colored hands. The courtly, philosophical Senator Newlands has long been an exponent of the idea that the colored people should be returned to Africa. But there has been no sting in his suggestion. Indeed it took no hold upon the public thought. It was only a theory. Quite different is the effect of speeches of men like Senator Vardaman and Representative Hellin advocating with Southern vehemence the suppression of all opportunity for growth and advancement of the colored citizen of the United States. In our homes and on the streets we hear snatches of conversation that bespeak the fear and suffering caused by this new agitation. My cook asks me: "Is it true they can send us to Africa?" "What do I know of Africa?" she says, with choking voice. "I was born here. I have always lived here; and I wants to die here." With all the traditions of a race but fifty years from slavery—indeed with no other tradition—with high officials, leaders of the party in power, talking of deportation, is it any wonder that even the younger generation are filled with apprehension and do not feel that security as to their rights which the newest immigrant enjoys? The colored people are patient and submissive. In my judgment there is little danger of race conflict if they are permitted to work out their own problem by slow and natural evolution. But the love of their native soil and of their abiding place is a deep-seated instinct with them. I do not know what might happen if the conviction spread among them that they must protect themselves from deportation. They might do what white folks would do, under like circumstances. Sometimes I think it would be a good thing—for white people anyway—if by magic the colored people should be lifted out of their present environment, and placed in Africa for a short while. There is one time of day when colored folks have almost exclusive use of the street cars. In my early morning walks I notice as the cars stop the showers, masons, carpenters, cooks laundresses, housemaids, nurses, get off and go in different directions to begin their day's work. What would happen if they all went to Africa? Not only our household machinery but almost every kind of business that is in any way dependent upon manual labor would come to a standstill. And I am curious to know what would become of Southern agriculture. With North Dakota offering railroad fare, exorbitant wages; short hours, moving pictures, dances and other amusements to induce laborers to come and harvest the wheat crop, can you imagine what would become of the cotton and the corn if the colored people of the South were transported from their native land to the jungle? They might suffer greater mental anguish, but the white folks would be first to feel the economic tragedy. There are over eleven hundred civil service employees working for the government. More than half of them are in the various departments here in Washington. These employees have competed with whites for their places, taking the same specified examination. I have the information direct from the Secretary of the United States Civil Service Commission that except in positions where the physical qualifications are the important consideration, and in a few of the higher places drawing over eighteen hundred dollars a year, where personality is required, there is no means of knowing whether applicants are white or colored and, except for the hand writing, whether they are male or female. The colored people are justly proud of success achieved on their own merit, like that gained in the Civil Service. This spirit according to every ethical principle should be encouraged by our government. It is the rock on which dentocracy rests. The colored people sense the meaning of any governmental discrimination against them with deep feeling, and the suggestion that the color line may be drawn in the government service has awakened a resentment I have never known before among the colored people here and, I understand, has aroused great indignation wherever the possibility of such a course has been discussed in centers of Negro population elsewhere. REV. BROADUS ON THE WING. News from Mumford and Caledonia, New York. Caledonia, N. Y., Sept. 8. These two towns are situated 18 miles from Rochester, N. Y., on the Lehigh Valley Railroad. Your scribe left Washington, D. C., Friday, the 5th over the B. & O. railroad, reaching Philadelphia, Pa., at 4 P. M. Spent the afternoon sight seeing in company with Rev. Wm. D. White, who was en route to Ithaca, N. Y., to take charge of the Calvary Baptist Church, where he has been recently called. We spent the night with our old friend Deacon S. J. H. Mayes, of the Holy Trinity Baptist, Rev W. F. Graham, pastor. Saturday morning at 8:30 we boarded the train for Sayre, Pa., and Caledonia, N. Y., respectively. We parted about 5 P. M. I continued to Caledonia, which place I reached about 6:42 P. M. Was met by my friend bro. H. D'Blagburn, and driven in an auto to his residence. Our trip was indeed a picturesque one, traveling for miles along the Lehigh River some distance beyond Wilkesbarre, Pa., thence to the right, the most beautiful valley, dotted with residences and factories, that I have ever seen, around mountains, sometimes two engines pulling our train of ten coaches, splendid accommodations to all, jim crowd and segregation quite forgotten. We passed along the Susquehanna for miles, thence the beautiful lake. With the lowering sun it almost presented the scene given in the Revelations by St. John of the Aegean Sea. We rolled into Geneva, N. Y., where we be seen well kept farms and beautiful roads, automobiles dafting here and there over the fine roads of New York. Reaching our destination, as before mentioned, we spent a most enjoyable evening with our friend; on Sunday at 11 A. M. we preached to a crowded house at the Second Baptist, Munford, over which the Rev. A. M. Kearney, of Rochester, presides. We had as our guest the Rev. Albert Townsen (white), of Boston, Mass., a noted slum and Bowery worker about New York City. We talked from Gal. 6-10. Sunday School at 1 P. M. taught by Dr. Townsen; 7:30 we preached from Rom. 8-1, after which we served Communion, after a brief experience meeting. The pastor said I hardly needed an introduction, as my coming to Munford was the town talk for days previous to my arrival. He said that our coming was a timely one, as it brought out many of the people to see the man from Washington, and it added greatly to their finances, as they are busy enlarging their church edifice, which is a splendid one. Monday we visited the New York State Fishery, where can be seen millions of fish. This propagation plant offers every opportunity to stranger. Seats and tables for picnics all arranged. A regular resort. A large hotel adjacent to the plant, beautiful concrete ditches and viaducts, with waters as clear as a crystal. We are booked to preach on Wednesday evening, the roth, and on the second Sunday all day Monday we hope to start South. Munford is in Monroe County, and Caledonia is in Livingston County. One just over the county line from the other, a very, very pretty country, dotted with stone fences dividing lonely wheat lands and market products. REV. E. THOS. BROADUS IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. His Reply to Vardaman Was Not Published—Bad as the Declarations of Vardaman. September 9, 1913 Mr. Page A. Cocoran. 415 Smith St. N. W. City. Dear Sir: Replying to your note received this morning, I desire to say that I received from you, through the mail. August 15 ultimag, a manuscript for publication. Accompanying it you stated as follows: To The Post: When Senator Vardaman gave his address on the race question a short time ago in this city I was working on a manuscript and was just tackling that subject; but after hearing him, I inserted some more. I enclosed a copy of my reply to the Senator exactly as I have put it into this work that I am shaping. I suppose you pay for the best material. This would make good Sunday reading. If you cannot use it please return as soon as possible. Sincerely yours, PAGE A. COCORAN P.S.-I did not say this to bar them from printing without paying—I knew they would not print it anyway. They returned it without saying one word. Print it if you wish. You see I submitted this to the Post. In your note dated September 8th, you rebuked me for not publishing your alleged reply to Vardaman, and called me to task for not having paid any attention to it. I shall publish your note, which reads as follows: Dear Sir: Two weeks ago last Friday I mailed you my reply to Senator Vardaman. I am surprised at hearing nothing from it in any way. I thought you would be so pleased to get such an article from a white man that it would be a feast to you, and I did not think it necessary to send stamps for its return. I now enclose four cents in stamps, and very very much hope that you will be kind enough to show me the consideration of returning the manuscript at once. Hoping for the best, I am Very truly yours. PAGE A. COCORAN I desire to say in reply to this note, that a white man is no more to me than a black man, if there is no merit in what he writes or says. The fact that you are a white man as you claim, is no indulgence to the editor of The Bee to publish your article, especially after it had been refused by The Post. I have returned your manuscript under the same cover. ALL RACE DISCRIMINATION BARRED BY N. Y. LAW. Hotels and Restaurants Liable to Serious Penalty for Making Such Distinction in Guests. New York, Aug 31 The "equal rights" law passed by the last Legislature becomes operative tomorrow. The act forbids a hotel, restaurant or theater to discriminate against any person on account of race, color or religious belief. Summer hotels which advertise that persons of certain classes and races are not desired will be the hardest hit, as the law provides a penalty of from $100 to $500 for inserting "undesirable" advertisements and makes the proprietors liable to damage in civil actions. A Correction. Please allow me space in your valuable paper to correct a typographical error made in my song, in your last week's issue. The last line of the chorus is, and should have been: "Our" God still leads us on. Very respectfully: ELLA M. BOSTON. 1179 N. H. Ave. N. W. HOWARD THEATRE Manager Thomas' Great Success—The Resort for the Best Element of Colored Society—A Deserving Compliment, Testimonial, Suggested by The Bee. The Howard Theater, in this city, under the management of Mr. Thomas, is a success indeed and in fact. For years the colored people in this city have strained every effort to establish a theater for the accommodation of the colored citizens. Some of the leading men in the country attempted to organize a stock company and several thousand dollars were collected from the people throughout this country. It failed, and the people have failed to get a return of their money. The colored Masons, it is believed, under the direction of Prof. N. E. Weatherless, have arranged to lift the burden from the shoulders of those who have failed in this enterprise. Messrs. Benedict and Rosenthal, of Baltimore, M.L., took it upon themselves to erect a theater for colored people under a colored manager. Neither man would remain away from the theater long enough to allow the colored manager to run, hence it failed. Mr. Thomas, who purchased the Minneapolis, and who outclassed all other moving picture and vaudeville shows, made a deal for the Howard theater, which, had heretofore failed. It was predicted that no colored man could run a theater, and notwithstanding the great amount of money, time and worry expended on this theater. It has been a struggle with the management of this theater to succeed. He has withstood the criticisms and the opposition of theatrical rivals to such an extent until today the Howard Theater is a success. This theater has been so well conducted and managed that today the very best element of the people of this city, white and colored, attend. There is no discrimination on account of color, the white citizen is as welcome to the theater as any other class of well behaved people, although the theater is under colored management in every particular. The white shows that are put upon the stage of this theater are well received, and the colored shows are of the colored theater, which are appreciated by the patrons of the theater. Since the Howard theater has been made a success under Manager Thomas, with his good assistant, Mr. Byers, and it is the first theater that has ever been made a success for the entertainment of the colored people, and as evidence of the appreciation of the colored citizens for the efforts of manager Thomas, to cater to the pleasures of the people. The Lee suggests that a complimentary testimonial be tendered him by the people of Washington, at such a time and of such a character that a committee hereafter to be selected, may suggest. Who will second the emotion of The Bee? Send seconds to The Bee not later than Wednesday, of next week Knights of Pythias Knights of Pythias. A squad of the Knights of Pythias Cadet Company marched from Washington, D. C., Wednesday, August 27, 1913, in ten hours, to Baltimore, Md., in command of Second Sergeant Joseph Waters accompanied by Major C. M. Long. The squad was received in Camp Cresswell, Shadyside, Westport, Baltimore, Co., Md., by Major General R. R. Jackson and staff, and camped three days and nights, with 25,000 uniformed Knights and Cadets. The Cadet squad met acting Brig. General Sithib and the Uniform Rank of Washington at the electric car station, taking part in the grand street parade of Baltimore, Md. The squad broke camp on the evening of the 30th, and marched back to Washington in fifteen hours. Captain Winsmore regretted that he was not present to witness the Knights of Pythias camp. Private Milfrey Tucker was commissioned second lieutenant. Following are the names of those present: Major C. M. Long, Lieut. Milfrey Tucker, 2d Ser. Joseph Wats, 3d Ser. Chas Reed. Corp. Plumer Butler. Privates Ernest Washington, George Jefferson. Percy Johnson. Dr. I. W. Curtis Dr J W. Curtis, one of the most popular physicians in the country and formerly a resident of this city, but now practicing in Hot Springs, Ark., is the guest of Dr Charles I. West Dr Curtis was one of the victims of the recent fire in Hot Springs a few days ago. His entire office, books, instruments, etc., were totally destroyed by fire. The doctor takes his loss philosophically and without the least disturbance of mind, especially as there was no insurance upon his business. Dr. Curtis has grown handsome, and since his stay in Hot Springs he has become, aside from his medical profession, a Democrat. He assumes the character of Damon in the play of Damon and Pythias, like a professional. Since his stay in this city he has received a great deal of social attention. On Monday he was given a dinner by Attorney Thomas Walker, one of the leadin, civil, lawyers at the bar, and real es tate men, at Grays. Attorney Walker is not only a successful civil lawyer, but a wide-awake real estate dealer, who is rated among the most successful in the city. Dr. Curtis will remain several days longer, then he will make an extended eastern trip before he returns home. He paid The Bee office a visit Monday and was entertained by the editor, who is an old acquaintance of his. CAPT. JOHN C. DALEY. No. 9 Police Precinct Given the Black Eye—Rebuked for His "Jim Crow" Advocacy, and Declared Out of Order and Forced to Sit Down. Philadelphia, Sept. 8.—Declaring that the Constitution of the United States had no color line in it and that neither had the constitution of the Army and Navy Union, National Commander George Russell Downs declared Capt. John C. Daley, department commander of the District of Columbia, out of order this afternoon when the latter attempted to introduce a resolution which it was said was designed to segregate the white and colored members of the Union. Capt. Daley, who is captain of the police in Washington, took the floor at the business session of the crampment, and was about to offer his resolution, when other members and delegates from various section of the United States refused to listen. Cries of "Sit down!" "Out order!" and other remarks were made, when National Commander Downs put an end to the uproar by vigorously rapping for order. "The black man has won his right to be in the ranks of the army an navy," said Commander Downs, "by standing up with us shoulder to shoulder and fighting for the preservation of the country." Among the speakers at the opening session was United States Senator Penrose, who, speaking generally of the preparedness of the United States, said that this country is always ready for war. "It may be that we are not prepared for war in the sense that the military nations of Europe are prepared," said Senator Pentose. "Our geographical situation and the purposes of our republic do not justify such preparedness. Our resources are immeasurably greater than those of any other nation or of several nations, and at the call to arms a million men tomorrow would respond, ready to go to the front in the defense of the republic." Made a Good Fight. Mr. Charles Freeman, of this city, who supported Attorney A. W. Scott, of this city, for Exalted Ruler of the Elks of the World, deserves the highest commendation. From all reports, a majority of the delegates went with the Scott forces in defeating every man who voted for Exalted Ruler Nutter. Mr. Wilson, of Norfolk, who declared that the entire Washington delegation would support him, soon put him out of business. He was removed as organizer, and was not allowed to hold any position. Mr. Freeman handled the Scott forces. THE BEE And What the Real People Think of It and Its Editor—Sentiment That Will Put Dogs and Puppies to Sleep. What They Think of Us. Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 5, 1913 Hon. W. Calvin Chase. Editor of The Row. Editor of the Bee Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Please find enclosed $200 for the renewal of my subscription for another year. There never was a time when the race needed a strong and fearless paper like yours more than now. I am glad to note that The Bee is keeping up with and exposing the many humiliating acts which the Democratic party is inflicting upon our people for no other reason than that we are colored. For years we have been debarred from participating in governmental affairs in the Southern States, because of our color and now the same men who did that are temporarily in power of the national government and are doing the same thing The grand old party will have to free the colored people again from the injustices heaped upon them by the Democratic party, which has always opposed their political rights. Men must again be placed at its head like Lincoln and Grant, who think more of the human rights and personal liberty of the oppressed than they do of tariff reform or currency legislation. I hope that the Progressives will see this and return to their first love and help to bring about this new era. If you wish you may publish this letter with such comments as you may seem fit to make. With best wishes, I am Yours truly. JAMES H. YOUNG. Is There Anything for Our Boys to Do?-Why Don't You Give Them a Chance? To the Editor Advices from the U. S. Bureau of Education contain some very illuminating information as follows: Boys in the Ishpening, Mich. high school repair the school buildings for pay, conduct a co-operative school farm for profit, and are about to erect a gymnasium for their school in the same businesslike way that they have learned to do other things for themselves and the community. All this work is under the direct supervision of the regular school authorities. For the past six years high school students from the manual training department have been employed to repair the various city school buildings. During one summer $3,000.00 was thus paid for student labor. The boys have repaired roofs, laid cement floors, built brick walls, and installed plumbing fixtures. The gymnasium to be erected by the boys is from plans drawn by seniors in the high school. How stands the case in Washington? How stands the case in Baltimore? Both cities have rather elaborate plants devoted to vocational and manual training education. Is anything being accomplished that even suggests the results being obtained in this little city away out in the "Wolverine" State? In Washington, among the colored people, for instance, we have the Armstrong Manual Training High School and the Cardoza Vocational School, these in the public school system, while at Howard University there is a college of applied sciences. The difficulties encountered by the youth of what the New York Evening Post recently referred to as "this already heavily disadvantaged race" are such as to make it well worth while to ask what is being accomplished by the schools mentioned toward giving the Neuro boys and girls some real equipment for their battle with the world and its forces. And what is true of the needs of the colored youth is also true, though perhaps in lesser degree, of the youth of the white race. In beginning, it seems, they have gotten down to "brass tacks" and are making the thing pay, in real, solid coin of the realm, which, after all is the only think "that makes the marage go." And now abideth Theory and Practice, but the greater-by far the greater-of these is Practice. JAMES C. WATERS, JR. Washington, D. C. Sept. 5, 1013. NEGRO GIRL'S BIG TAX. Oklahoma Ten-Year-Old Will Pay Income Asessment on $112,000 a Year. A Negro girl to years old will pay the largest income tax in Oklahoma. Sarah Rector, who lives just west of Muskogee, has an income of more than $112,000 a year. It is the old story of the lucky albottie and the oil well. Sarah is the descendant of a Creed freedman. She had nothing to do with the selection of her allotment and probably has never seen it and does not know where it is. But it is 160 acres of land and upon it has been drilled the biggest producing well in the mid-continent field. This is what is known as the Jones Gusher, near the town of Cushing. The well is producing more than $2,500 a day, and Sarah gets one-eighth as her share. This is just the beginning. Arrangements are already made to drill other wells. There is no doubt but these will also be big producers. Ex-Gov. Pinchback Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback having resigned his position in New York, returned to the city this week, accompanied by his estimable wife. The Governor will now reside permanently in this city. TYLER'S TOUR Of the South and West Is Being Planned—Former Auditor for the Navy to. Write Articles on Each City Visited. Sept. 8.—Ralph W. Tyler, former Auditor for the Navy. but now national organizer for the National Neuro Business League, is preparing his itinerary for his proposed extensive trip South and West. Mr. Tyler's itinerary will take him as far south as Texas and Florida, and as far west as Oklahoma, and possibly into the states of Washington and California. Many cities and towns in the South and West have already urged him to visit them. On this trip he will write a series of articles telling of the progress the race is making in each place visited, naming and describing the men and their businesses who are making success. If possible, he means to cover every Southern and Western State in which there are a considerable number of the race. - x? o Z . ’ . . % 7. * _ Fi WEW DEFENSE FOR’ GIBSON.

AIMED AT ALLESED TRUST. | petitor Would Not Produce All ef Its | Own Plate—increase In Prices Has Boon Felt. : | Washington.—Seven million dollars ‘to provide for a government armor ‘plate plant Is asked for in a bill iatre- duced by Representative Britten of I- Inols. ‘The bill was introduced coiact- dent with the announcement by the navy department that bids for $3,000, 000 worth of armor for battleshlp No. 39 had been rejected because they are identical Although Representative Britten Is u Republican, his bill fol- lows generally the. Ideas of Secretary Dauntels, who has reported that a “trust” evidently exists in the armor plate business and that the govern. ment should have a plant of Its own, not to make all its armor, but to pro- vide enough to make competition with the private mills. | In addition, Representative Britten is about to tuke up with several sena- tors the advisability of changing the Underwood tariff will so as to admit armor plate free of daty. Renresentative Britten's bill provides for the acquisition of a site, the erec- tion of sultable bulldings and the pro- curing of necessary thachinery and supplles. for the establishment and maintenance of the plan. Active op- erations on the plant are to be begun -within six months after the passage of the bill, In diseussing bis bill Representative Britten said that he had bad {n mind for sqme mOnths the Introducing of a “plan that would break up if possible the trust now controlling the armor plate situation in this country. “The opening of the bids of the navy department for $3,000,000 worth of ar- mor for battlevhip No. 39, appropriated ‘for last year. in which the bids of the three armor producing companies in the United States corresponded exact- ly and giving the same amount per toa as last year.” sald Mr. Britten, “shows cenclusively the collusion existing In the bidding regardless of the. fact that each bidder attests in an affidavit sub- titted with bis respective bids that the conpuny Ix not engaged in any such agreement and proves conclusive- ly that competition for this enormous amount of government business is a farce. . “The guly way to procure armor plate at anything Mke a reasonable price Is for the xovernment to enter Jato direct competition In its manu- facture with the companies already engaged In this work. I am not in favor of entering [into the Geld to such ah estent as to put the other ar- ‘mor praducing compantes out of busl- hess, but tv manufacture a sufficient ‘amount of this commodity so as to ‘forte them Intu competition and com- ‘pel them to offer us their. armor at least ata fairly reasonable Cost. “luvestigations recently made In this Uirectivn Lave shown that {na govern- ment plant capable of turning out 10,000 tons a year, which Is about half of the armor needed on a two battle- ship preszram, the cost of the armor will not exceed $314 a ton. The ditfer- ence between this and the amount bid last ‘Tuesday, which was exactly the same per ton as the bids submitted last year. $454: on 10,000 tons, at a saving of $140 per ton over the price now pald, the government would save $1.400.000 per annum. Deducting the interest on the money used In building the plant, the government will still save considerably over - $1,000,000 a year, which amount tn a very short time will completely cover the cost of the plant, and at the same time we will be independent of thls branch of the steel trust. As a business propost- tion the plant would net the govern- ment more than 17 per cent un the en- | tire Investwent ufter allowing 3 per cent on the total expenditure tor $1,200,000). “In 1906 the price of armor plate was $346 a ton, in 1907 the trust Jumped It to $120 a ton, and last year it was rals- ved to $454 a ton. The price goes up constantly and remains up. and the evidence fs not lucking that the price at the present time Is based.more upon what the compantes think they can get than what ft costs, 7 “Some years azo we Were confronted with the same problem In the purchase of powder for the uxe of the army and the navy.

GOD WILL LAUGH AT HUMAN PRIDE Ap Old Prophecy Is About to.Be Fulfilled, Says Pastor Russell. HAS DOUBLE APPLICATION.

Their Coalition Vain—God Will Laugh at Them—Jesus Will Deride Them—The Breaking as a Potter's Vessel Will Follow—Those Who Put Their Trust In Him Will Be Blessed. On the Atlantic, September 7.—Pastor Russell's text for today was: "He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in decision." (Psalm 2:4.) He said: The vast ocean, on which this stately ship is but a toy, reminds me of PASTOR RUSSELL On the Atlantic, September 7.—Pastor Russell's text for today was: "He that sitteth in the Heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall have them in derision." (Psalm 2:4.) He said: The vast ocean, on which this stately ship is but a toy, reminds me of "God's mercy, like the wildness of the sea," and also of the vastness of Divine Power, and human insignificance in comparison. Humanity may justly feel encouraged by the progress made in the past century. Mighty ships of steel, a thousand feet long, carrying thousands of passengers, have replaced the wooden dories of a century ago. Propelled by steam, they are indeed levitathans of the deep. The oceans have been underlaid with cables of steel, carrying intelligence to the ends of the earth. And this majestic steamer is outfitted with a wireless system of telegraphy, by which she is continually in touch with sister vessels and with the world. And these are only a few of the many avenues of progress being trodden in our day. Those not guided by the Word of the Lord are puffed with pride, and disposed to feel that our grandparents a Nittle way back were mere monkeys. God's people, guided by their Father's Word, and by the spirit of a sound mind, are held back from such delusion. They see that there are not many great or mighty today, as compared with the notables of the past. They see that God is behind the wonderful developments of today; for we are living in "the day of His preparation" (Nahum 2:3) for Messiah's Kingdom, and the Reign of a thousand years. These perceive that God is gradually lifting the veil of ignorance and superstition; and that, according to His promise, men are now seeing out of obscurity. Withal, our blessings are coming in a most natural way. The printing-press, present-day mail service, telegraph systems and telephones, and world-wide education, are bringing the thinkers of earth in close touch the world over. Scarcely is a discovery made of any kind, anywhere, that is not known world-wide within a week. A million minds engage upon the same project, with the result that there are still further improvements, still more wonderful inventions—and all these procedures repeated! Surely the only explanation is that God is back of the present intelligence now coming to the world. His time has come to bring Messings to mankind, instead of the same which so long has prevailed. Kings of Earth Set Themselves. The kings of the earth, in a broader sense, include financial kings and captains of industry, as well as political cheftalts. These wise men of the world have grasped the situation only in part. They perceive the blessings and the riches rolling in upon the world through human invention, and are fortifying themselves in luxury and power beside the golden streams they have corralled. Thus they have "set themselves," according to our text. Moreover, the rulers of the people—the ecclesiastical rulers and princes—are affiliated, with them. Together they take counsel. Their next step will be to put their counsels into practice. "Let Us Break Their Bands." For centuries past kings and governments have been more or less restrained by the peoples they governed. And the peoples have been more or less guided by the Bible, and its spirit of liberty. The new conditions of our day, however, have evaded many of the regulations and restraints of the past. The restraints are necessarily unequal to the new conditions. And the people are intent upon making new regulations to cope with the Trusts and the wealth of the financial kings, and with the great power of political kings, as represented in modern military armaments and organizations. The Bible is the great stronghold of liberty. Through it the masses of civilization have learned that kings and peasants, rich and poor, must all eventually stand before the Judgment Seat and be judged by one Law. This same Bible portrays to the public the Divine Plan of the coming Jubilee of Restitution—the rolling away of the curse and the installation of God's blessing, through Messiah's Kingdom. It shows that the Messianic Kingdom is near and that it will be inaugurated in the midst of a great Time of Trouble, symbolically represented by St. Peter as a confession, as respects eccle- classical interests, and subsequently the social interests of the world. Thus the Bible stands; and the spirit of hope and liberty which it inculcates is the Divine restraint, the "bands," the "cordas," of our context. "The kings of the earth set themselves; and the rulers take counsel together against Jebovah and His Angsted, saying, Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us." The form which this opposition will assume toward the Bible and its spirit of liberty, the spirit of the New Dispensation, is difficult to detail in advance. We see, however, under the guidance of the New Testament, that this prophecy had a very limited fulfilment at the First Advent; and the fulfilment there may give us a clue to the larger fulfilment now nigh at hand. Jesus the Head, the Church His Body. The Lord's Anointed is The Christ of glory—Jesus the Head, the overcoming Church the Body. This prophecy was fulfilled in respect to Jesus when Pilate and Herod, as representing the worldly powers, took counsel with the chief priests, Scribes and Pharisees, as representing the rulers of the people of God. The religious rulers were leaders, prime movers, in the opposition. What happened to the Master Himself in the way of opposition from the religious rulers and, under their instigation, from the political rulers, is what we should expect shortly as the fulfilment of this prophecy. The opposition that will arise will be against the Lord and against those who are particularly His representatives and mouthpieces in the world. The federated religious interests, fearful of the Truth, and with cherished plans opposed to it, will shortly denounce it as Calphas denounced Jesus. His declaration was, It is expedient that one man perish, rather than our whole nation. (John 11:50). As Jesus was crucified "for the good of the cause," as seen by the religious rulers, so we may expect that the last saintly members of the Body of Jesus will similarly suffer for the supposed good of the cause, as viewed by the Scribes and Pharisees of our Day. God In Heaven Shall Laugh. When Jesus was crucified, His enemies supposed that His influence would be gone, and that their projects would flourish. But God laughed at them, for they were really accomplishing His will. It was necessary in harmony with God's arrangement that Christ should suffer. Similarly, it is necessary that the last members of the Church, the Body of Christ, should suffer with Him and enter into His glory, by the resurrection "change." Then, too, instead of succeeding, the plans of the rulers all failed. Under Divine disfavor they entered the time of trouble, which culminated in the complete overthrow of their polity. Here we are to expect the same. The Divine purposes, instead of being thwarted, will be helped onward by human opposition to the Divine Plan. The plans of these kings and rulers will be measurably carried out because (see verse 1) the heathen, the Gentiles, the irreligious, will rage, will be in tumult, striving for liberty and blessings in their own strength, not knowing of the Divine arrangement for the inauguration of the new, Kingdom, which is to bless all the families of the earth.—Genesis 2:11; Galatians 3:16, 29. The declaration further is that "the people [the favored, people of God, nominal Christendom] will imagine a vath thing." They will be deceived, as they are at present, into the expectation that they will be able to convert the world and bring in the Messianic Kingdom, or into believing, as some do, that Messiah's Kingdom has already come and has ineffectually been attempting the control of the world until now. They are waiting now for a few millions to be poured into the missionary treasury to effect the world's conversion and to insure God's will being done on earth as in Heaven. The picture of God's laughing at the poor human pride which will thus vaunt itself is a forceful one. The failure that will come both to the professed people of God and to the world will be a great lesson in humility, never to be forgotten. The absurdities of the position would make all laugh. If they could strip themselves of their pride and realize that, without Divine interposition, God's will could never prevail on earth as in Heaven. The Lord's next step will be to produce the Time of Trouble, which will teach mankind the great lesson they have declined to learn otherwise. "Then shall He speak to them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure." That will be the Time of Trouble so prominently mentioned throughout the Bible, "a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation," "no, nor ever shall be" afterward.-Daniel 12:1; Matthew 24:21. Human pride, human schemes, which have ignored the Divine Program, will all in that time of trouble show their weakness. The result will be as described by the Prophet. But "when the judgments of the Lord are abroad in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness." (Isalah 26:9.) Humanity's heartaches and disappointments will eventuate in blessings, as they shall realize God's great and wonderful Plan, with its length and breadth and height and depth of infinite Love, in the Kingdom of Messiah. "The desire of all nations shall come." (Haggal 2.7.) The iron rule will compel obedience, while the Message of God's grace will, as promised, go forth as the Sun of Righteousness, inaugurating the New Day. The concluding verses of this prophetic Psalm clearly indicate that the trouble under Messiah's Kingdom will burn against those persons and those institutions which are unjust, un righteons, unholly. On the contrary, all who love righteousness and hate injusty will be welcomed to associate themselves under Messiah's standard, whether they be rich or poor, influential or otherwise. As Seen In Former Times. However strange it may appear to us now, a serious misinterpretation of this very prophecy of the Second Psalm was made by our well-intentioned forefathers. And that misinterpretation brought into the world a vast amount of trouble and persecution. It came to be generally believed that the Redeemer would not come to set up His Kingdom, to bind Satan and to bless the world. A new theory rose, gradually culminating in the year 800 A. D. It claimed that the Church, before experiencing the resurrection "change" at the Second Coming of Christ, was already the Kingdom of God and fully authorized to reign. Under this theory, missionary work was carried on with rvengeance. The sword, the thumb-screw, the rack and the stake, as well as the national wars, were all considered proper agencies for the enforcement of the Christian faith. This Second Psalm was especially appealed to as the authorization for such unchristian conduct. It was claimed that, although Jesus was absent, His Church was authorized to reign over the kingdoms of the earth, and to bring them into subjection. All kinds of intrigue and scheming were considered to be justifiable to the accomplishment of the Divine purpose; that Messiah through the Church should conquer the world, that the nations might be broken with a religious, scapept of iron and dashed to pieces, or plotted against and torn in pieces by their subjects, as might be possible. The kings and the judges of the earth who recognized the Church as Messiah's Kingdom were accounted wise. They must serve with fear and literal trembling. On many occasions verse 12 was quoted as a warning to kings and to princes that they must keep in line with the beasts of the Church—kiss the son, a claimed vice-general of Christ—lest he be angry and they perish by the way. As Revelation 20:15 tells us that the Belign of Messiah's Kingdom is to be for a thousand years, and that during that time Satan is to be bound, so it was claimed that this ecclesiastical system must thoroughly blind and dominate Satanic power, as represented in everything that opposed it. In full harmony with this misinterpretation were some of the facts. For exactly a thousand years Ecclesiasticalism prospered and ruled the world—from A. D. 800 to A. D. 1709. The spell which had held Europe and much of the world for ten centuries was broken by Napoleon. When he carried the Pope a prisoner to France, the world wondered. Could it be that the spiritual power, of Christ's Kingdom was ineffective against the great General, Napoleon? What did it mean? The answer came promptly enough that this was merely another fulfilment of Scripture—the loosening of Satan at the end of the thousand years (Revelation 20.7-10). The prediction was made, and fully believed, that very soon the adverse conditions would pass away, and the ecclesiastical throne be re-established in greater power and glory, than ever before. But instead, Ecclesiasticism has waned. In September 1870 its last support gave way in the French defeat of Sedan. Forthwith the King of Italy took away the last vestige of temporal power. Awakening or Bible Students. Since then, Bible students, and indeed the whole world, are awakening to the fact that no real Millennium of blessing was enjoyed during the thousand years of the past. We see instead that it was a period of great darkness, superstition and ignorance. Furthermore, the whole world is becoming convinced that the blessings that have come to us during the past century are not of Satan, but of God. Indeed, we are learning more and more to appreciate the fact that all these wonderful things of steam power and electricity, with their hundreds of applications for the advancement of science and the blessing of humanity, are foregone of the true Millennium. More and more we are realizing that we are in the dawning of that New Day, and that the present time of scientific development and enlightenment is but a preparatory epoch, making ready for the coming blessings of Messiah's Kingdom. The Scriptures indeed describe the present as "the day of His preparation" - preparation for the thousand years of Messiah's Reign and the blessing of mankind. It is not for us to say dogmatically how soon these blessings will burst upon the world in fullest measure. Some Scriptures indeed seem to indicate that they are very close—Impending; but the great Time of Trouble with which these blessings will be inaugurated is almost upon us. The discontent prevalent everywhere is leading on rapidly toward the trouble. How much we have to remember our text! How much the kings and princes of the world need to be instructed and to be wise to serve the Lord with fear, and to rejoice with hope and yet with carefulness! How much all men need to remember the closing words of the Psalm: "Blessed are all that put their trust in Him." The glorious Head of the Kingdom was exalted more than eighteen centuries ago. The First Resurrection will soon complete the Body of Christ the Church, through which God has designed that reconciliation shall be extended to the world. Soon the Kingdom will take to itself its great power Under the Headship of the Messiah it will go forth conquering, for the purpose of blessing, uplifting, humanity for whom Christ died. MUCH INTEREST IN SULZER HEARING Able Counsel Secured by Both Sides In Fight. SEN. WAGNER WILL PRESIDE Court of Impeachment Consists of Members of State Senate and Court of Appeals—Two-thirds Vote Necessary to Remove Sulzer Permanently. Albany, N. Y.—Not only the state of New York, but the entire Union as well, is eager awaiting the beginning of the impeachment trial of William Sulzer, which starts on Sept. 18. The accused will face the high court of impeachment on charges brought by the lower house of the state legislature. The hearing will be staged in the senate chamber of the state capitol at Albany. This will mark the first time a governor of an American state has faced impeachment proceedings since the year 1876, when Adelbert Ames, then governor of Mississippi, was impeached. Ames resigned before his trial, thus bringing the proceedings to an abrupt termination. State Senator Robert F. Wagner, president pro tempore of the senate, who became president of the senate when Lieutenant Governor Martin H. Glynn was automatically promoted to the position of acting governor by reason of the charges against Sulzer, will preside at the impeachment trial of the man who was chosen chief execu- A.

The court that will say whether or not Sulzer will be restored to the position or shall be convicted of the charges will consist of the state senate and members of the court of appeals. In order to impeach a governor it is necessary to have a two-thirds vote of the court. There shall be no appeal from the decision of the high court of impeachment, and this tribunal's decision will be absolutely final. At the trial the accused governor will appear in person with his counsel and will try to disprove the charges brought against him by the legislature. If the charges be sustained and the governor is permanently removed from office then the acting governor, who in this instance is Mr. Glynn, will continue to act as governor until the next election. Whether or not Mrs. Sulzer, wife of the accused, will appear in person as a witness at the trial is a question that is attracting wide interest here. It is recalled that just prior to the time a vote was taken in the assembly on the impeachment motion the wife of the governor issued a statement claiming to be responsible for the alleged deals in Wall street stocks and endeavored to shoulder the blame. It is likely that she will take the stand at the trial of her husband and repeat this statement to the court of impeachment. Five of the most widely known lawyers in the east—former Secretary of State Philander C. Knox, former Judge D-Cady Herrick, former State Senator Harvey D. Hinman of Binghamton, N. Y., and former Judge Irving G. Vann of the court of appeals and former State Senator James J. Gay Gordon of Philadelphia—are attorneys for Solzer. Besides these noted counsel Mr. Sulzer will have among his advisers former Judge Arnold and Louis Marshall. To match the legal talent retained by Sulzer the board of managers appointed by the assembly has employed as counsel John B. Stanchfield, Edgar T. Brackett, William Travers Jerome and Eugene Lamb Richards. In addition to this strong array of talent Acting Governor Glynn is also to be advised by ex-Judge Edwin Countryman and P. C. Dugan. SHIRKING HORSE CURED. Rolled Down a Bank and Then Decided She Was Not Sick. St. Louis.-Nellie, a delivery horse of Clayton, either is an expert dissembler or her alliances are such that they baffle veterinary surgeons. After a vacation of three weeks she pulled the light delivery wagon willingly until she was about to be taken over the route again in the evening, when she lay down on the ground and groaned. Dr. C. A. Newton, a veterinary, worked with the animal two hours, took her temperature and looked for symptoms of various alliances, but found none. He declared Nellie was "stalling," but she refused to get up. Several spectators then helped roll the horse down a small embankment. This aroused Nellie's anger, and she jumped up and kicked her heels about the barn lot. Her owner, William Schoepker, a grocer, announced that Nellie's vacation will not be extended. Nellie was once a polio pony. One of her specialties has been to pretend to be lame in order to get a holiday or extended vacation. Sometimes the limp was in the left hind foot, and occasionally it shifted to the right hind foot. On each occasion a veterinary said the animal was in good health. POISON FAILS TO KILL Woman Takes Dose Which Would Kill a Hundred Persons. St. Louis.-Edward Fisher, a photographer, and Mrs. Carrie DuBols, who weighs 300 pounds, both bichloride of mercury patients, were treated successfully by a method that St. Louis physclans now believe is an absolute cure for mercurial poisoning. The two, who are neighbors, but have never met, have expressed mutual interest in one another's condition. Mrs. DuBols said that it was the reading of Mr. Fisher's condition in the newspapers that prompted her to swallow more than 110 grains of the poison. This is an amount, physicians say, sufficient to kill more than 100 men, but Dr. Maurice Thompson and Dr. Walter Harrell predict that she will recover, after the application of hot water bottles and electric globes and the injection of saline solution or sodium carbonate every three hours. MORE-FLYING FOR ME, SAYS REID NO Atlantic City, N. J.—Viewing the total wreck of his $0,000 hydroaeroplane as it lay upon the beach at the bulet, Marshall Earle Reid, well known aviator, who for two years has furnished thrills at shore resorts and else where, said: "I am through with dying for good. I'll consider myself lucky in this tumble and call it square. If there is anything exciting in the game that I have not tried out in the two years of my career as an aviator I shall leave it for some one else to tackle. For me it is no more playing the bird man. I do not exactly regret having been in the business, for I have made $12,000. "My mother has urged me time and again to stop dying. I think she kows better than I do myself that the money is not worth it. My other relatives have joined in pleading with me also I guess I heed this call now." "One thing I am thankful for, and this is that no human life has been laid as a sacrifice to my experiments in aviation. It was a close call, they tell me, but here I am, and mighty lucky, I think, to be here. Anyway, I'll take the tumble as a friendly hint to seek some other meams of livelihood. So it's me for the dry and solid land hereafter." Reld was reminded of his mother's desire that he should quit aviation by the loss of a ring that his mother gave him. KILLED 745,634 RATS. Work Done by London Health Officers to Guard Against Plague. London.-In the annual report just issued of Dr. Herbert Williams, medical officer of health for the port of London. Dr. Williams says that 745,634 rats were destroyed in the port of London from February, 1901, to January, 1912. During 1912, 1,310 rats were examined, but only thirteen were found to be affected with plague. Plague from rats is caught through the rat flea, which, after having lived on an infected rat, makes its way to a man and bites him, thus inoculating him with plague. MARRIES HIS ACCUSER. Weds Woman Who Says He Stole $2,000 From Her. Butte, Mont.-William F. Morrison, accused by Mrs. Louise Tam, a widow, of having stolen $2,000 from her, together with some diamonds, married the complaining witness after he had been brought back from Tampa, Fla. by the officers. This action took the prosecuting staff off its feet, and the indignation of the officers knew no bounds. For months they have been tracking Morrison. Under the Montana statutes a wife cannot appear against her husband and there is nothing left but to dismiss the case. GOETHALS AT 1915 FAIR. Canal Builder Will Head Engineering Congress at Exposition. San Francisco.—Colonel George W. Goethals, U. S. N., whose engineering genius is bringing the Panama canal into being, is to take part in the Panama-Pacific International exposition, which is to be held in this city in 1915 to celebrate the completion of the great project. Colonel Goethals, who is chairman of the Isthmus canal commission and chief engineer of the Panama canal, has accepted the honorary presidency of the international engineering congress, which will be held in connection with the exposition from Sept. 20 to 25, 1915. The congress, it is promised by its promoters, will be the most notable in the history of engineering. The exposition officials have communicated with some 80,000 engineers in all parts of the world with a view of having them visit San Francisco in 191K. The congress will be conducted under the combined auspices of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Mining Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers. PIGEON FLIES 1,000 MILES. Record Time of 28 Hours and 30 Minutes Established. Pittsburgh, Pa.—One thousand miles, air line distance, between Abilene, Tex., and Fort Wayne, Ind., in 28 hours, 30 minutes and 6 seconds actual flying time was the remarkable flight of a homing pigeon belonging to O. Anderson of Fort Wayne. The records, sent to President Carney of the American Racing Pigeon union in this city for verification, were officially announced. Forty-seven birds contested in the race from the Texas city, and the record made by Mr. Anderson's bird is a world's mark. The second bird to arrive in Fort Wayne from Abilene belonged to J. Schilling. It had been on the road 30 hours, 51 minutes and 47 seconds actual flying time. The speed of Mr. Anderson's bird averaged more than thirty-eight miles an hour. TO TRAIN GIRLS IN OPEN AIR SEVEN YEARS Eleven Years to Determine Outcome of New Experiment. Philadelphia.—A Philadelphia college will this fall give the students the first chance that has ever been offered by an educational institution in America for instruction that will tend to make girls physically perfect above everything else. According to the dean of the college, it will take eleven years to ascertain whether the plan is going to prove a success. They will take twenty young girls as nearly perfection physically as they can get and ranging between ten and twelve years of age and train them for seven years in elementary subjects and bring them up as women should be educated. The girls will be trained in the open all the time, they will have all kinds of physical exercises and outdoor life, and when they leave they will have not only a perfect physical condition to aid them, but they will have learned all the rudiments of English, Latin, French and German, to solve simple and original algebraic problems, to draw, to model, to appreciate pictures, to interpret music by rhythmic movements and to express musical impressions by dancing. DEATH SENTENCE FOR DOG. Passed on it by Judge For Having Bitten Little Girl. Chicago.—A dog has been sentenced to death by Municipal Judge David Sullivan in the South Chicago court. The animal belongs to Michael Ronaine, who was arraigned on a charge of disorderly conduct on complaint of Mrs. Anna McMannon. She charged that the dog had bitten her daughter Virginia, eight years old, and that Ronaine refused to turn over the animal to the dog pound. "I'll give up the dog whenever the police demand it." Ronaine told the judge. "All right," replied the court, "the police are ordered to take the animal to the dog pound, and I sentence the dog to be shot and killed there." FINE TO GIVE OR TAKE TIPS. Waiters 'Urged St. Louis Council to Pass the Ordinance. St. Louis. -The city council has passed a bill making it a misdemeanor to give or receive a tip in a hotel or restaurant. A fine of from $10 to $50 may be levied for each offense. Half of the fine is to be given to the police informant of violation of the anti-tipping ordinance. The measure was passed without opposition following a public hearing in which scores of waiters attributed the local hotel employees' strike to low wages resulting from the tipping practice. Tampa.

Hie was “skeered” to face the drawn swords that he knew awaited him.—From the Colored Man. The first National Press Asso- ciation met in this city several years ago,and it was the Editor of The Bee who put the chief: tumhead to sleep and elected Col. Pledger president. A sword was drawn for the Editor of The Bee in Atlantic City with the com- bined National Press Association against him, but he elected Wm. J. Simmons, of Louisville, Ky., president and himself historian of the .Press Association, thus’ de- feating his chief opponent: The entire Press Association was against him. Mrs. Ida B. Wells Barnett and other delegates were with the administration. Mr. Chase re-elected John Mitchell, Jr. of the Richmond Planet, pres- ident by one vote after Mr. Mitch- ell had declined to run, and him- self historian, again defeating the rumheads. It was the Editor of The Bee who insisted upon the adoption gi a constitution for the I'ress Association against the combined efforts of the opponents and he was elected chairman of the committee, and at_the next meeting of the association his constitution was adopted. The gfeatest meeting of the associa- Vion was held in Richmond, Va., on which occasion the editor of the Tribune and the Editor of The Bee were candidates for the presi- dency. Editor Perry declared that he could be elected if .the Editor of The Bee would with- draw. Ile was informed that he could not. Editor J, C. Dancy sprang up as 4 candidate. which complicated matters. Tt was a friendly contest in whieh ‘Editor Daney lost his head and wanted to tight Editor Chase, Mr. Chase threw his power to John Mitchell, Jr. and he was elected. Not in the history of thy Press \ssocia- tion was there ever such a repre- sentative body of men assembled. In Chicago, when Charles $. Mor- ris made a fight to defeat Editor Mitchell, he failed becauve the combined forces of Mr. Chase's followers went to Mr. Mitchell's support. At St. Louis, Mo. Mr. Mitchell declined to rum, and when a rumbhvad Southern editor wanted te attack the Editor of The Bee, he was given to under- stand “what the consequences would be. Now this litle “pig- my” of the Colored Men states that the Editor of The Bee was conspienotts by his absence be- cause he was afraid of the drawn sword. The Editor of The Bee doesn't recognize this rant and “am apology for a national press association. Had he gone to the meeting held in Philadelphia, be would have come in contact with -antiquated rumheads who have long since been retired from ac tive journalistic participation by the Editor of The ‘Bee. MM would, no doubt, have been con fronted by little asses like th editor of the Colored Man, whe met the Editor of The Bee a few weeks ago, informing him that hi was so well pleased with one o _ his editorials that he intended t publish without giving credit t ‘The Bee. When an editorial as sociation of real editors is organ sized and is composed of real edi tors and not bogus compatriot and quasi editors, then The Be will be present. This so-calle; press association can do The Be no.good or any harm. The Edi tor has the highest respect fo ee egg ee et oe IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE, Last week a white millionaire in Chicago was compelled, by the court, to marry a poor Negro girl, in his employ, whom he had de- bauched. The judge, sitting in the case, said to the white criminal: “Look at you, a man of intelligence, in silks and satins, heir of the ages, taking advantage of this poor, ignorant girl. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a’ dime.” oo | Most upright judge! * What. a severe castigation!! We have scanned the white press in vain for double-column, scare heads over an account of this affair. But why should we expect to sce this case featured in the daily press? The offender was a white man, and the victim but a poor, simple Negro girl who fell a victim to the lust of her superior—her employer. Just one more case of “the lion and the mouse,” “the lady and the beast.” A few months ago, and they are still at it, many of the white press of this country had its first page burdened with prejudiced accounts and scare headlines of Jack Johnson's marriage to a white woman whose sta¢fon in the moral world was no higher than his. The Southern white press, and the Negro-hating, long-haired, bray- ing statesmen (?) from the South used Johnson's case to rekindle their fire ofhatred against the race. The alleged offender, in this latter case, was,a Negro. Not a line has appeared in the white Southern press regarding this forced marriage of a white million- aire to the Negro girl he debauched, and neither has Senators Vard- ‘aman, Tillman, Daniels, or Hoke Smith rent the air with tons Mares against the offender, the proud scion of white aristocracy, “the heir of ages.” Why? Because he is of their blood acknowledged, and the victim is either not of their blood, or of their blood unacknow!l- edged. We hold no brief for Jack Johnson, a stellar light in the under- world, but consistency would suggest that, at least, as much noto- riety.should be given to the debauching of a poor, ignorant Negro girl by a white millionaire as to the marriage; unforced on either side, of Jack Johnson toa white woman whose moral plane was no higher than his. . it makes a difference when the offender is white, according to the narrow viewpoint of the white Southern Negro-hating oligarchy. “PRIDE OF RACE AND WHITE FRIENDS.” ‘Under the above caption, The New York Age, in its last issue, carried an editorial which was construed here as a covert attack upon Dr. Washington's Negro Business League address delivered at Philadelphia. The Age’s editor quoted a sentence from the Doc- tor’s speech in which he cautioned the race not to lose faith in our good white friends who have stodd,,and are standing, by us. lle, ‘The Age's editor, then proceeded ta'draw upon his memory for an antiquated incident which occurred in the South, of which he and the late Col. Pledger were witnesses, and a rebel brigadier was the particeps criminis, and covertly parallel Dr. Washington's advice with the statement of the new, let us hope, mumified rebel brigadier. Mad the editorial appeared in The Crisis or The Boston Guard- ian, or even in The Richmond Planet, the Washingtonians would not have marveled at it. But appearing in The Age, whose editor has heen the beneficiary of the Doctor’s kindness, there was a prick- ing up of cars, and the interrogative—Has The Age joined the enemy? However, any reference to beneficence enjoyed, or the indicated overlooking of simple gratitude due, is really not germain to the question, The editor of The Bee was not present at Philadelphia to hear Dr, Washington's address, but he did read every line of it, and he cannot see how any fair-minded person, whether friend or foc, beneficiary or an independent of his benevolence, can take excep- tions to it. As we read the copy of that address we marveled at the soundness and saneness of the advice it contained. There is alto- gether too much overlooking the part our white friends have played and are playing in the solving of our problem, We are too apt to forget that the race is indebted to white friends for the establish- ment of most, if not all, of the Negro schools in both the North and South, ‘and for their maintenance. We too frequently overlook the fact that in every crisis white friends have appeared to champion our cause, and but for them we would be nowhgre. It will quicken our appreciation of the services rendered by spléndid white friends. and being rendered today, especially in these days of rapid accumu- lation of discrimination and segregation in governmental depart- ments, which prompted Dr. Washington to caution his race not to Hose faith in our white friends. z | The New York Age traveled a Jong way out of its way, tw its [way of thinking, to find a parallel for Dr. Washington's advice to his race, and the ancient incident resuscitated in no manner fits the HDactor’s advice not to lose faith in white friends. Some editors love to revel in an unpleasant past, and saunter through graveyards, and a few may find pleasure in smiting the hand which feeds them. For our part, we saw nothing in Dr. Washing- ton's address ‘to criticise. We saw much to commend. You can frequently depend upon the mendicant to be mendacivus. ly for him, he must associate with such pigmies like the editor of the Colored Man, who is infected with more natural gas than jour nalistic sense. The Editor of The Bev, would alvise this pigmy to read what honest men think of him. * PUBLIC OPINION. . There is 8 probably no social farce in all the realm of senti- mentalism more, misunderstood than that we call “public opin- jon"—that “ocedn of thought from whose level all heights and depths sare measured.” There may be such abthing as public jopinion and we will assume that there is. But the term, so fip- Ipantly indulged in by the aver- lage demagogue, docs not apply ite that “ocean of thought” which ixives to the term its true signifi- cance: On the contrary, the term is generally used: to express any sporadic shiit of sentiment which may be aroused for or against a Igiven principle or policy” as ap: Plicd to a certain community, great or small. In other words, “public opinion.” which is at best but _a conclusion ‘induced rather |by feeling than reason, compre: |hends large masses of people cov- Jering a vast extent of territory. |This “ocean of thought,” which when accurately surveyed, is it the majority of cases but a mud. ‘puddle of “localized sentiment ‘|eonstitutes justification for al Jikinds of injustice and wrongs | Hence, public opittion at th -|South justifies lynching, jimcrow: ism, disfranchisement and rob |bery ag applied to the colorec ‘people, while public opinion ai ‘|the North condemns or passivel} -|tolerates them. And what is pub- Tic opinion, after all Is it char- acterized by conscience, reason and responsibility? Is it a real expression of the deductions from a systematic reasoning upon facts, ‘or, do, the considerations of -race prejudice. self-interest and. false pride constitute its most distin- guishing — characteristics? The fact is that public opinion, so- called, is not opinion, neither is ain reality public. It is the nur- sery bugaboo set up in the midst of a gullible public by designing emagogues, politicians and ehar- latans to distract thought rather than to mold or dircet it. And this bugaboo has transformed the people into a superstitions and sentimental mass. There can he but little hope for the whites and less for the colored people, until as Aristophanes says. in hi “Knights,” “old Demos is cut 1] and boiled before he ean be re newed to health and vigor.” Pub: lic opinion must give way to ‘th dictates of an enlightened popu: lar conscience, and reason and at acknowledgment of the integrity of the whole nation, whateve may be its racial constitution Moreover, when the words “pub lic opinion” are used, they refe to whatever opinion the white ‘may entertain, without any refer ence to, and most frequently it {spite of, what ‘the colored peopl Jmay think. It is therefore quit {clear that the. term is of no earth {ly use to us, except as a weather J vane to show the direction of con trary currents, In the meantime whatever shifts public. opinio -|may make, it must be our duty t ||endeavor to affect the public con |science and reason up to an ac ‘|knowledgment of the well-estab Hished doctrine enunciated ove twenty-threer centuries ago by Aristotle, that “the only qstable state is that where every one pos- sesses equality in the eye of the law according to his merit, and enjoys his own unmolested.” THE SOUTH IS IN THE SADDLE. 2nere i nO Gout Mas the South is picturesquely and em- phatically in the ascendant, when it comes to official representation in Wilson’s administration. In Congress, Southern Representa- tives and Senators have captured the choicest plums in the shape of chairmanships, while the North has been made to take the short- ends all along the linc. The rea- son for this distribution of off- cial favors is plain. Ever since the Civil War the South has been the anchor and hope of the Democratic party. The South has been consistent, at least, and now that the millennium has come, it claims what may be said to be distinctly its own, namely, the right to the spoils and the dic- tation of party policy. It is most remarkable that the Northern Democracy has not shown a more widespread disaffection. ‘The North represents about all that is commendable in the govern- ment—in material wealth, indus- tries, schools, colleges, libraries, scientific, charitable and benévo- lent institutions; in fact, the South is still dreaming of _ lost prestige, plotting for a virtual re- turn of antebellum conditions, contributing but little to cither the prosperity or the honor of the nation. What tan have over- come the Northern Democracy: Is it ashamed of the hoggishness, hateur and heathenism of its Southern brethren? Has __ the North at last come to confess that only the Southern wing is capa- ble of furnishing the required type of politician? Or are the Democrats of the North parties to a trade by which the South is to manage “the nigger,” play the statesman and hold the fat, of- fices, while said North takes care of the real business interests? De the Democrats of the North sec the handwriting on the wall, ar ignominious Moscow, and desire to let the South take the full con: sequences of its own assininity’ "The howl being set up by South: ern Democrats about graft, mal feasance and general rottennes: jin Republican polities and admin listration, comes with mighty bac grace from a set of tyrants and [thieves whose open boast is that they are now fattening on stoler electoral votes and the results o} their depredations upon the Ia Dor and human rights of million: of loyal American citizens.

Perhaps they think there is nc race problem, at least, a “colored race problem,” and maybe there isn't. If not, the colored people would do well to inscribe on theit banners, for all race-problem cranks to behold, the concluding words of Jeff Davis’ speech, de- livered on’ the occasion of his in- auguration in 1861: “All we want is to be let alone.” THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. In a few days the fall term of school will begin, and boys and girls, young men and women will come trooping from every sec- tion of the city-athirst for educa- tion. We hope that history will not repeat itself; that almost im- mediately on assembling of school ‘the disgusting clamor against officers and teachers will not be started over. The schools are in fine condition now, except- ing a few minor changes clearly within the province of the off- cers, and clearly their duty to make, without free advice from a lot of soreheads. Keep your hands off the schools, and let the authorized officers have a frec hand in conducting them for the benefit of the pupils. And -tnis advice is extended to the anti. Bruce and pro-Btuce faction a: well. The anti-Bruce faction composed of a lot of disgruntled incompetents who would like to take charge of the school system, ought, by this time, to” have learned a lesson; ought to have become acquainted with the sen: timent of the public, which is de. cidedly against them. ‘The pro Bruce faction, a child of the anti Bruce faction, will do well to lay low, and not’ unnecessarily an- tagonizé tre disgruntled anties. The schools are maintained for the pupils who attend them, and not for this or that fellow with a grievaneé. Let all join hands in helping the officers and teach- ers to chronicle a successful year and by so doing you will be’ ren- dering your children, and your neighbors’ children, who are the |real sufferers in a school fight, 2 jreal service.

Bible students look in amazement at the simplicity of the Decalogue, and at first wonder which of its features the Jews and others were unable to perform satisfactorily. The matter seems very simple, just as it did to the Jews, until we perceive that God's Law, represented in the Ten Commandments, has a depth of meaning that cannot be seen on the surface. the Jews and others were unable to perform satisfactorily. The matter seems very simple, just as it did to the Jews, until we perceive that God's Law, represented in the Tea Commandments, has a depth of meaning that cannot be seen on the surface. Haired is incipient murder. Apparently the full meaning of this Law was seen by none until Jesus "magnified the Law and made it honorable." He says that hatred toward a brother is incipient murder, and that adulterous desire in the heart is a violation of the Seventh Commandment. This throws a light on the whole matter, and explains why no one has been able to keep this Law, except Jesus, since Adam's fall. The great Teacher also explains that the first table of the Law, appertaining to man's duties toward his Creator, means much more than merely to avoid image worship and profanity. It means that the true God shall have the first place in the human heart. Any division of heart, strength, mind or soul violates this commandment. God's Original Law to Man. God's Law to man was not originally given at Mt. Sinai. Indeed, the Mt. Sinai statement of the Law was given to the Jewish nation alone as the terms upon which they might become God's Royal Priesthood for the blessing of all nations. God's original Law to man was given in Eden, written upon Adam's heart, in that he was created in the Divine image—with attributes of mind and heart fully in accord with his Creator. He loved righteousness, and would have hated sin, had there been any to hate. But up to that time there was none. After Adam's fall, the work of degeneracy progressed so rapidly that Adam's first born son became a murderer. Doubtless the chagrin of Mother Eve in the loss of Eden and in batting with the thorns and the thistles of the earth under the curse embittered her mind, arousing anger and resentment, which marked her child. From then till now the course has been generally downward, with occasionally a well-born child less seriously marked by sin—less depraved. Still the Scriptures inform us that "There is none righteous, no, not one." Hope For the Future. Mankind's experience for six thousand years forbid us to expect that any could commend himself to God upon the terms of human perfection, ability and willingness to keep the Divine Law. Jesus alone has kept that Law, and He because begotten miraculously. He was "holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners." God refuses to grant everlasting life any except the perfect who will keep His Law willingly and gladly. What hope then is there for our race? There is one hope for the world, and still another for the Church, instituted at Pentecost. The world's hope is in the Messianic Kingdom of 1,000 years, whose rulers and judges will be God's Royal Priesthood—the glorified Church, Head and Body. God's Messianic Kingdom will depose Satan, binding him for a thousand years. Speedily the iniquities of earth will be set aside, and the rule of the "rod of iron" will begin. Everything opposed to righteousness will be dashed to pieces. Everything sinful will be discouraged by chastenings, and everything righteous will be encour- "Thou shalt have no other gods." "Thou shalt have no other gods." aged by blessings. Under that administration, the world will again reach the condition of perfection from which Adam fell. All wilfully rebellious, all lovers of sin will have been cut off in the Second Death—"everlasting destruction." The Church and the Law. The Church of Christ is selected from amongst mankind, who were born in sin. The members are not under the Law of Sinal in the sense of being required to keep it perfectly in order to get eternal life. (Romans 6:14.) Nevertheless, the Law is very precious to the Church; for its spirit reveals to her how far short of perfection she is in the flesh, and to what extent the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ covers her fleshly imperfections. Thus, the Apostle declares, "the righteousness of the Law is fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit." OFFERS BODY FOR SALE Convict Fears Family WIN Claim H After Death Comes. Savannah, Ga.—Hatred of his family prompted Thomas A. McColloough, a convict on the Monroe county chain gang, to advertise his body for sale to the highest bidder. His advertisement reads: For Sale.—To the highest bidder for cash. I offer my body, which is six feet high, weight 175 pounds, is large frame, well proportioned, forty years of age and Caucasian race. I have a sentence of eighteen years for killing a negro in Griffin in 1811 and have no prospects, no hopes and no friends; hence, being in bad health, I am asking this proposition. Any one wishing to consummate a trade address Thomas A. McColloough, box III, care Monroe county convict camp. Self sworn never again to have anything to do with his relatives, he is now in mortal fear that his body after death will be turned over to them for burial. This fear has been increased by the physician's statement that he is suffering from heart disease and has not long to live. The money which his body would bring is a secondary matter to the convict. His one real desire is that death shall not stop the breach between himself and his family. MILLIONAIRE DAY WORKER. Yale Man Puts In Long Hours at Rubber Factory. Boston.—Dinner pall in hand, young Ellsha S. Converse, Yale student and a millionaire son of a multimillionaire, steps from his Beacon street home into a costly automobile, drives over to a Malden rubber shoe factory and tolls nine hours in a room where the temperature is hardly ever less than 100 degrees. This happens every weekday. Young Converse is determined to learn his father's business from top to bottom, but instead of beginning at the top he has begun at the bottom. The father is Colonel Harry E. Converse of Marlon, rubber manufacturer and prominent yachtsm. Sometimes young Converse has to handle redhot heels which he puts on the rubber shoes. He swings big shears, too, with which he cuts off the corners of the heels. All in all, his work at his bench in the heel room is considered a pretty hot job. STOP HUGE WASTE OF NATURAL GAS U. S. Experts Make Saving of $13,000,000 a Year. Washington.—According to Van H. Manning, assistant to the director of the United States bureau of mines, experts of the bureau have given a noteworthy demonstration of scientific conservation of natural resources that has resulted in a saving of 150,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas daily in Oklahoma. This gas is estimated as worth $37,500, or $13,000,000 a year. The two employees of the bureau of mines who are credited with having accomplished this result are A. J. Pollard of Bakersfield, Cal., and A. G. Heggen of Pittsburgh. They are regularly attached to the bureau as oil experts. They were sent to Oklahoma by Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the bureau. It was estimated at the time Pollard and Heggen entered the Oklahoma field that every day 250,000,000 cubic feet of natural gas, worth $62,500, was being wasted. That meant a loss of $23,000,000 a year. Operators and drillers were skeptical of the assertion of the two experts that they could prevent waste by a certain system of drilling, but, according to Mr. Manning, they have reached the conclusion that the experts were right and are making preparations to stop the waste. "CONSCIENCE FUND" SLUMP. Receipts For Fiscal Year Only $2,814 Lowest Since 1901. Washington. — Uncle Sam's "conscience fund" received in the twelve months ended June 30 last only $2,814.44, the lowest amount for any one year since 1901 and comparable with a hundred year average of $4,200. In the last 100 years the government has received conscience contributions aggregating $484,615.69. The fund was established in President Madison's administration in 1811, when the first contribution of $5 was received. The largest amount ever received in one year was $35,868 in 1902, and the greatest individual contribution, $18,669.60, was made to the collector of customs in New York more than a decade ago by an unknown. ICEBERGS REAL TERRORS. Captains Who Were on Patrol Duty Issue Timely Warnings: Washington.— Icebergs are the real terrors of the sea, giving no warning of their approach in thick weather, and the only rational course for a navigator to adopt when his ship is in a fog in their vicinity is to stop and wait for the haze to lift. This, in effect, is the burden of the reports of Captains C. E. Johnston and A. S. Gamble of the cutters Seneca and Miami, which from April to July patrolled the transatlantic lane of travel to prevent a repetition of the Titanic disaster. "The only safe way to navigate in regions of icebergs," warned Captain Johnston. "is to stop during thick weather and to run very slowly on dark nights."

Statistics Show That Married Men Attemot Suicide More Frequently Than Unmarried Ones - Single Women Criminals More Numerous. New York. Many more unmarried than married men commit crimes, according to the report of Henry D. Sayer, chief clerk of the district attorney's office. The report shows that in 1912 there were 780 convictions of married men in general sessions and in the criminal branch of the supreme court and that there were 2,068 convictions of unmarried men. There were 66 convictions of married women and 100 convictions of unmarried women. Records show that in the last nine years there have been 18,400 convictions of unmarried men, while among men who had at some time led a bride to the altar there were but 7,670 convictions. The unmarried men excel in almost every crime on the calendar. The most notable exception is in the case of attempted suicide. Last year the ratio was three married men to one unmarried. The report also shows that about three-fourths of the men who are brought into court are under thirty years of age. Of the 2,857 men convicted last year 940 were under the age of twenty and 1,278 were between twenty-one and thirty years old. After the age of thirty the ratio gradually decreases, there being but five men over seventy who last year were convicted of any crime. Out of 28,079 persons convicted in the last nine years 11,052 were between the ages of twenty-one and thirty and 8,293 were between fifteen and twenty years. Among the women two-thirds of those convicted were under thirty. It is also apparent from the report that in the last nine years there has been a gradual increase in the number of young men of criminal tendencies, the number of convictions of male criminals under the age of thirty having increased from 1.700 in 1904 to 2.200 in 1912. On the other hand, the number of convictions of men over the age of thirty has remained about stationary. The report shows that the office disposed of 6,051 actions during the year. There were 3,023 convictions in general sessions and the supreme court, of which 2,383 were upon pleas of guilty and 4,640 upon verdicts after trial. There were 321 trials that resulted in acquittal. There were more convictions for murder in the first degree than in any other year in the history of the county. Thirteen persons were convicted of first degree murder, while the highest number appearing in the records of other years is eight. It is also worthy of note that for the first time on record in this county four men were jointly tried and each found guilty of murder in the first degree. The average sentence imposed was five years and six months, and the total state prison terms amounted to 3.991 years. The longest sentences were for burglary in the first degree. There has been a gradual increase in the length, of sentences imposed since 1904, when the average was four years and six months. The most frequent crime was grand larceny, with 600 convictions. Next came burglary, with 492 convictions. READING BRAIN OF DEAD MAN? Believed Thoughts Were Visible. Strange Request In Will. Cambridge. Masa-Scientists in the DURHAM, N.

Harvard Medical School are trying to read the brain of the late Dr. Maurice Howe Richardson, ex-member of faculty of that institution. The examinations are being conducted secretly in the neuropathological department and under the direction of Dr. E. E. Southard. Dr. Richardson was a firm believer that thoughts made definite lines in the brain, and the present examination is being conducted in accordance with his wishes as expressed in his will. He believed that a person's thoughts were recorded and were at the time of thinking visible on the outer walls of the cerebrum. He held that if these lines were read and the seat of the thought located it would make it possible to correct defects in the brain by surgical operations. Hutchinson, Kan.-Because the apples are so thick on the trees in the big Reno county orchards gangs of men are being hired to go through the orchards and knock green apples from the trees. This is necessary, the fruit growers explain, to prevent the boughs from breaking down under the weight of the growing fruit. Dog Stops Court Case Walla Walla, Wash.—Leslie G Korkman's dog Chinner stopped a case in the superior court while he caught a mouse. The dog is a fox terrier and was in court with his master. The sight of a fat mouse was too much. Court officials aided him, and the case was resumed. Turkish dignitaries comport themselves toward European representatives how otherwise than some of them formerly did. Sir Henry Layard tells an amusing encounter between Charles Allison, then chief interpreter at the British embassy, and the grand visier, to whom Sir Stratford Canning had sent him on important business. In the middle of a discussion the Turk rose from his seat and said his prayers on a carpet spread by an attendant, concluding with the curse on all Christians very emphatically uttered, and going through the motion of splitting over his right and left shoulders in abhorrence. Allison was equal to the occasion. Presently he, too, left off business to pray in a corner, doing it in Turkish and invoking curses on all followers of Islam. To the scandalized Pasha he explained that Christians also had their religious duties, and he had no doubt the formal curses of their prayers meant as little as the Mohammadan's Overladen Apple Trees Rivalry In Prayer. 6.

Coun.-Mabel, the four-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Grieter Lent of this place, was knocked down by a rooster, and her brother Victor, one year her senior, who went to her rescue, had one eye picked out and the other one seriously injured. Mabel had gone to collect eggs in the hennery when the rooster, a large Plymouth Rock, pounced on her and re her to the ground. The rooster's arm lacerated her arms and legs, and cried out in pain. Had she not id her arm over her face she might veared the same as did her brother. Her screams brought Victor to her lie. He attempted to fight the roost, only to be knocked down and sensibly injured. The children's parents arrived to the scene. The father chopped off the head of the rooster and threw him in the river. Physicians hope to save Victor's right eye, but the left is gone entirely. MAN MAY HAVE BEAUTY. Board of Arbitration Gives Damages For Loss of It Danville, Ill. A board of arbitration in the case of a machinist, Charles Chick, against the Chicago and Eastern Illinois railroad, under the compensation law, has decided that a man can possess beauty and obtain damages for loss of it. Chick was struck in the eye by a piece of steel last September when at work. The pupil was destroyed, and he asked damages for loss of time, for the handicap by reason of loss of the eye and loss of beauty. The railway company claimed that a man does not possess such a thing as beauty, but the board decided Chick's appearance had been damaged $200 and that he suffered $200 more in damages to his eye and in loss of time. The board was comprised of five attorneys named by the court and was headed by Arthur Hall, famous University of Illinois football coach. PLAN TO ABOLISH CONVICT LEASING Alabama System Is Declared to Be Inhuman. Birmingham. Ala.-With the purpose of taking all of the thousands of Alabama convicts out of the mines, number mills and turpentine camps a state wide movement to abolish the obnoxious lease system is in progress, participated in by the best element of civil senship in the state. At a great mass meeting addresses were made picturing the greed, graft and cruelty of the system, and announcement was made that it would be a light to a finish between the state's humanitarian spirit on the one side and corporations and professional politicians on the other. The spirit of the movement was embodied in the question "Shall we send the man who has served his sentences back home a better citizen or drive him to slavery and criminal mania?"

MINNESOTA to a prison reform in the south, sent a message of indulgence; in which she pleaded for night schools for convicts, humane hygienic conditions and other reforms tending to make the life of the man in stripes endurable. An executive committee was appointed to carry the fight into all of the sixty-seven counties of the state and pave the way for a deciding battle in the next legislature. Captain Frank S White of Birmingham, former chairman of the Democratic state executive committee and for years general counsel of the mine workers of Alabama, was made chairman of the committee. Twenty other representative men of influence throughout the state will help in a whirlwind campaign. In addition each county will have a strong committee. For years there has been talk of ugly treatment of the convicts in the mines, lumber camps and turpentine mills. In half a dozen or more explosions in coal mines within a few years a hundred or more convicts had been killed. But no body seemed to worry over their fate. The state leases about a thousand convicts to several large coal mining and lumber industries and nets from it over half a million dollars a year after feeding, clothing and guarding the men.

The phrase "a man of straw" had its origin in England at a time when men might easily be procured to furnish evidence upon oath in almost any emergency. It appears that persons of this description were accustomed to walk openly in Westminster hall with a straw projecting from their shoes, thus signifying that they sought employment as witnesses; hence the expression. An advocate who desired a convenient witness knew by this sign where to and one, and the colloquy between the two was brief. "Don't you remember?" the advocate would ask.

Washington.-Whether the entrance examinations for the Naval academy are so rigid as to be virtually prohibitive is a question the navy department is to leave to the decision of a jury of 2,000 educators. It has just become known that the department, stung by repeated charges that the examinations were unfair and illogical, had determined to submit the matter to 2,000 high school principals and college professors in every part of the United States. Rear Admiral Victor Blue has already ordered printed 2500 copies of the latest examination paper, and these will soon be sent broadcast. Accompanying each copy will be a series of queries, which when answered by the educators are calculated to settle for good the controversy over the "stiffness" of the examinations. Here are the leading questions the educators are asked to answer: "Is the examination too difficult for the ordinary high school student in his third year?" "Pick out the questions which seem improper in an examination for entrance to the Naval academy." "How long should each examination require?" Charges have been made in congress that the examination is so difficult and unusual that it serves to bar the average youth from the service. Figures have been produced for the purpose of showing that fewer than one-half of the aspirants pass it. DRIED CANTALOUPE NOW. Discovery Will Turn to Profit Millions of Wasted Small Ones. Los Angeles, Cal.-With the perfection of experiments now going on California will give to the world another lasciulous dried fruit—the dried cantaloupe. They will turn into profit some of the millions of small cantaloupes left in the fields every year. Thomas D. McCall of El Centro accidentally discovered the fine qualities of the dried article. McCall had dumped a great heap of cantaloupes to one side, several breaking open. These dried and threw out such a fine aroma that McCall was attracted and tasted them. They were excellent, and now cantaloupe growers are drying all of their small melons. The dried variety is said to have a much finer flavor than the fresh fruit. BOY GYPSIES STOLE 17 YEARS AGO FOUND Knew Only His Name Was Fred Before Identification. Watertown, N. Y.—Frederick Brossean, twenty-four, who was kidnapped by gypsies nearly seventeen years ago, has been restored to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Brosseau of Sissonville, St. Lawrence county, N. Y., who had long mourned him as dead. On Oct. 14, 1800, young Brosseau left home to meet his father at the edge of the village. That was the last seen of the boy in Sissonville. About a week ago a young man deserted from a band of gypsies in the Canadian wilds and took refuge with the monks of Oka, whose isolated monastery is forty miles from Montreal. He could remember nothing of his history previous to becoming a member of the band, except that he had been called Fred and that his former home was in northern New York. The presence of the wanderer was reported by the monks to the Montreal police, and an aunt of the young man recognized his picture in a newspaper. The parents were notified and went to Montreal, where they positively identified Brosseau by a birthmark. He is being detained by the police as a witness against some of the gypsies who are under arrest charged with kidnapping WILSON TO TRAVEL IN EALL. Mobile and Buffalo Already Tentatively on President's Itinerary. Washington - President Wilson has accepted the invitation to attend the meeting of the southern commercial congress in Mobile, Ala., Oct. 27. If congress has not adjourned before that date the meeting will be postponed to suit the president's convenience. If business will permit President Wilson will attend the national encampment of the United Spanish War Veterans, to be held in Buffalo, Sept. 8-6. The invitation was presented by a committee consisting of Senators Fall and Hughes and Jere A. Costello, John Lyman Smith, G. E. Rausch and John W. Mitchell, past commanders of the department of the Potomac. GOLD FAMINE IN GERMANY. Shortage Brings Crisis Near and Government Departments Are Warned. London - The shortage of gold in Germany is rapidly assuming the proportions of a crisis. The government is steadily engaged in increasing gold reserves in readiness, it is said, for possible war or an economic crisis. The Imperial and Prussian administrations, and notably those of the post-office department, have been invited to retain all the gold they receive and pay out only paper money. ANOTHER TITLE FOR MAY YOHE Song Said to Have Won Back Lord Hope's Love. RECONCILIATION IN SIGHT. "Honey, Ma Honey," Was Seng Which Touched Her Former Husband—Fortune Has Taken Many Peaculiar Turms For This Beautiful Woman. London.—Rumors that Lord Francis Hope may rewed his former wife, May Yohe, are current. Lord Hope visited the London Opera House., where Miss Yohe is appearing. The former Lady Hope was in excellent voice and sang "Honey, Ma Honey," that she often sang to her husband during their life together. Lord Francis is said to have been touched by the song. Overtures for a reconciliation, it is said, have been made through Lord Francis' brother, the Duke of Newcastle, and the duke's lawyer, Mr. Isitt, husband of Adeline Genee. Fortune has taken many, turns for May Yohe. She was at the height of success when she was married to Lord Francis Hope in 1833. She was the most celebrated actress of three contents, young and beautiful. Her marriage was a turning point. In the twenty years since then she has run the gamut of misfortune. May Yohe started her career in a church choir near Philadelphia and 2121 MAY YOHE, WHO, IT IS SAID, MAY BE REWED TO LORD FRANCIS HOPE. soon went on the stage. She became a favorite and had many suitors. She chose Lord Francis Hope. Her wedding gift from him was the famous Hope blue, diamond, taken from the head of an Indian idol and said to have brought bad luck to every one who ever wore it. May Yohe was no exception to the rule. After living with Lord Francis seven years she met Major Putnam Bradlee Strong, son of an ex-mayor of New York, and eloped with him in 1899. Lord Hope secured a divorce, and Strong and Miss Yohe were married. After a number of separations and after Strong had been forced to resign from the army, they separated permanently in 1905. In April, 1907, she was married to J. Newton Brown. He did not last long. Miss Yöhe went west and in 1000 was reported married to a Canadian lumberman named Murphy. A child, said to have been born from this marriage, was adopted by Edward R. Thompson, a Portland druggist. In 1010 May Yöhe bought a cheap boarding house in Seattle, which she ran until she was married some months later to F. M. Reynolds, a San Francisco musician. Some time later she went back to the stage. Her voice was still good, and she obtained engagements in cheap vaudeville houses. Then she went to London. GIRL SLEEPS 150 HOURS. Doesn't Feel Any Unusual Effects of Her Long Nap. St. Louis.—Miss Christine Fischer, who had slept uninterruptedly for 150 hours following a tennis match, has regained consciousness at the Jewish hospital. "I was awfully tired. My work as a schoolteacher has been most wearing, and for a month I have felt as though I could sleep a million years," she said. "I went out on the hot tennis court, and when I went to dinner I sat on the edge of the bed to rest myself. "Suddenly I felt myself going, sinking, sinking, and I must have fallen asleep then, for I can remember nothing more. I didn't feel anything unusual." ```markdown ``` L. C. SMITH & I Typewriter L. C.

Stricken When Sixteen, Woman Regains Sight—Sees Her Children. Hillsdale. Mich.-One of the humblest homes here was made the happiest in the whole country when Mrs. Mary J. Welsh, who has been blind for fifty years, recovered her sight. When she was a girl of sixteen her eyes failed until she became entirely blind. In that condition she married and is the mother of eight children whom she never saw until the other day. To make her burden doubly hard her husband became ill and she was forced to take in washing to support the family. Several operations were tried and were unsuccessful. The sons, now grown up, took the mother to Chicago, where she was taken to a hospital for treatment. Surgeons examined her and found she was suffering from a double cataract. CONSCIENCE HURT; WOOD SOUGHT CELL Admitted Taking $5,175 From Express Company In St. Louis. Philadelphia. — Stolen money—$5,175 —from the funds of the American Express company lay in the pockets of Alexander S. Woods, East St. Louis agent for the company, as he wandered through the streets of this city at 3 o'clock in the morning fighting his conscience. It was just that hour when Woods stood beneath the arc light at Fifteenth and Market streets watching Sergeant Daly and two patrolmen wrestling with a drunkard. He fumbled the greenbacks in his pockets, crossed the street and accosted the sergeant as the patrol wagon clanged at the curb. "Sergeant, would you mind sending me along with him?" Woods asked, indicating the staggering man. "I'm wanted by the American Express company in East St. Louis for stealing $5.175. I've stood it as long as I can. Here's the stuff." Woods pulled a handful of money from his pockets and handed it to Sergeant Daly. "I want you to send me back to St. Louis. I want to face the music," he explained. "I want my two little girls to know that even if I have made a big mistake I have done all I could to make it good." Sergeant Daly motioned toward the patrol wagon. "Jump in." he said. Woods obeyed, and a few minutes later he was in a cell. BALL BEARING For Women --- "Because I'm a thief." "How's that?"

That last phrase will chase most of you to your Latin text book. I know, but you'll find it there, and so will the trustees. Even George Cook, as diplomatic as George is when he's got a nice soft, easy mark to work, when he gets down on his marrows to say his evening recessional, won't put Prexy Newman in the Olympic bunch of athletes. To be more precise, and falling back on some of Cv Adams' French to express myself, I'm going to suggest that as a candidate for presidency of Howard the trustees of Howard ought to have let Prexy Newman poste restante. But he's a fine old Christian gentleman, nevertheless. * * I've been having a corking good time this week with them there brain reserves, the "Boolays." You know they've been meeting here this week, and I mussed up with them just the same as if I was head bellman of the organization. I use to think they were a lot of stiff-jointed supernu- maries what would give you a pain in the abdomen, and make you feel every time you came near them, that you was a sort of off-the-log specimen of humanity. But I got mixed up with them this week, and found them to be just like the rest of us dinges. They can tell Sherwood from Hunter just by lookin' at the bottle, the same as you can, and they can mix a Mamie Taylor as good as Wash Woods can, and some of 'em can smother old Mather English just as savagely as Simon Peter can. All the difference I saw between them and you common herd was that every one of them has a "depluma" hung over his sideboard at home as a sign that he butted up against some college, somewhere, at some time. Of course they are a bit exclusive—like to be to themselves, when they get to talkin' about the time they use to wait table at Harvard, black shoes at Yale, run errands at Amherst, and "sich" like, but can you blame 'em? Who wants to shine in profesh company in a claw-hammer knowing a whole lot of guys are around who saw you make up berths on a Pullman, or contract the first symptoms of the Palmer House walk? I found every one of them to be the real cheese when it came to be sociablelike, and although the college from which I finally graduated only gave the degree of D. R. W. (Doctor of Rathskellar Waiting) they fraternized with a whole lot, of us undergraduates, and I found that there was a lot of common ground we could stand on, for instance: Pabst, Schlitz, White and Black, Hunter, Cascade Lunch Counter Soup and the Turkey Trot. Yes, sir, I was much impressed with the bunch, so much so that I subscribed $15 to entertain them Believe me, there them "Boolays" comes under the head of "mens was mens in them days."

A FREE OFFER In a Great Effort to Raise a Fund to pay off Debt on the Douglass Home. Generous Friend Offers New York Property to Successful Contestant. The Frederick Douglass Memorial and Historical Association has inaugurated a movement to raise sufficient funds to pay off the mortgage on the home and provide funds to put the home on the late, and illustrious Douglass in excellent shape. The residence on Cedar at Washington, DC, is a booked library, belonging to Mr. Douglass, and with its fifteen acres of land within ten minutes ride on street cars to the White House, was bequeathed to the race to be maintained forever as a memorial and as a retreat where all might go, without charge, and enjoy it and everything white with it. The library is a place of freedom. A mortgage hangs over the home, which the trustees for years have been trying to pay off. For lack of funds, the beautiful, historical old homes is rapidly falling into decay. It would be a lasting disgrace were this home to fall into the hands of the white man, or were it not the hands of the black man, and curiosity collected by Mr. Douglass to become lost through decay because the race he labored so hard to make free lacked sufficient respect and reverence for his memory to pay off the debt on the home and put in repair the historical old mansion, appearing in another part of this newspaper offering two New York building lots absolutely free to the two persons sending in the largest number of coupons.
