New York Preacher Declares Giving
FranchiHe Was q Blunder.

Rev. DR. Charles H. Parkhurst preached
in Madison Square Presbyterian Church,
| in New York city, yesterday on topics
connected with his recent trip south. He
also made an incidental reply to Gov. Can
dler, who was reported as having de-
nounced those northerners who took an in
terest In educational matters in the south.
DIR. Parkhurst said that the party of
northern people who recently made the
trip referred to did it not because they
had any special interest In the south as
distinct section, but because they were
conscious of the unity which makes the
north and south members Of each other.
The conference held at Winston-Salem. in
North Carolina. he said. was characterized
by the utmost frankness on both sides,
and from first to last not an embittering
word was spoken.
Referring to Gov Candler's criticisms
DR.. Parkhurst said they would not have
been made had the governor of Georgia,
as did the governor of North Carolina,
come into direct touch with the personnel

Referring to the estimation in which the
people of the south and those of the north
hold the negro, DR.. Parkhurst said:
1.-The southerner does not like the negro
any better than the average northerner
does, and the two carry themselves toward
the negro with just about the same amount
of Christian consideration-only Of the two
the southern white man has perhaps this
advantage, that he does not make quite
SO fiamboyant pretense of loving the ne
gro his northern confrere does. The
southern white man dislikes the negro and
owns up to it. The white man In the north
dislikes the negro and lies about it,
The preacher said further:
1.-The undiscriminating act by which the
negroes had conferred upon them the right
to vote was one of those blunders that 1t
Is not easy to escape from after ii is once
committed, but which, 1t would seem, we
ought to have northern craftsmanship suf-
ficiently intelligent to prevent.
1.-THE counsel that both the northern and
the southern friends Of the negro are now

suffrage matter; to keep out of politics.

dustriously to the work of getting himself

God and the country and the future may
have in store for him.
DIR. Parkhurst closed by the following
general reference to present conditions
among southern people:
1.-THE south does not altogether love us,
but no one there hates US nearly as much
as it would be perfectly natural for them
to hate us. They are all glad that slavery

while in tender bereavement they lay fiow-

President David Starr Jordan Of Stanford

The cost OF building this roadway and
opening up this reserve has been estimate ed
at $50OOO Already the people Of Santa

carry this project through. Those who
were interested in the preservation of the
trees will assist in the work, and it re-

join in the undertaking.
The redwoods Of the big Basin" are
the tallest and most luxuriant of their spe-

to Monterey these grand trees covered the

been so great that only a small portion Of

The big Basin has been spared because
1t was protected by a range Of hills that

was cut before it was proposed to move the
mills Into the Basin" When the mills
actually began cutting in the Basin" the
friends Of these trees resolved to make
struggle to save them for the honor of
the state. Their efforts have been crowned
with success.

So much has been said about the big trees

A QUESTION OF vital importance to
the Williams of the future, a ques-
ton involving the health of every
man, woman and child in this COM
munity, is the problem OF sewage
disposal Typhoid fever, the drag
on OF modern times, which destroys
one-twelfth of the population of the
world, is filth disease, pure and
simple. And our so-called noun
tain fever is typhoid modified by
altitude and climate. A filthy
town is a typhoid infested town.
How can we keep our town
clean?
Naturally, the first thought is to
introduce a system of sewers to be
flushed at intervals, either artific-
tally or by carrying off excessive
rainfall. Aside from expense, the
scarcity of water renders this plan
unfeasable.
Why not cess-pool? A shallow
cess-pool, lmpregnatlng the soil in
every direction and communicating
the water supply, is the very worst
receptacle for sewage. But Will
Jams is particularly fortunate in
being located over a natural cinder
bed which furnishes an ideal meth
cd of sewage disposal. At depth
OF from sixty to eighty feet we
strike n cinder bed which goes down
hundreds of feet. Several prop
erty owners have already dug to
the cinders for their cess-pools, and
we hope the city fathers will see
the wisdom of compelling every
person erecting a building to either
dig to the cinders or connect with
a pit already constructed in this
way
