CONSENT MAKES MARRIAGE
Preacher Inspired by a Breach Of
Promise Suit Delivers Sen
sational Sermon.

Quakertown, PA sermon which
may have been inspired by the breach of
promise suit of Miss Blanche Keck
against Rev. Edgar j. Heilman, OF the
Wyndmoor Lutheran church, was
preached by Rev f. X Fretz in st. Johns
Lutheran church. In part Pastor Fretz
said
The tendency of the day is to treat en-
gagement VOWS as frivolous and joke
Let it be understood that. once man and
woman have pledged hand and heart, the
abandonment of that pledge makes the
transgressor, in the sight of God, a per-
jurer
Consent. and not ceremony. makes
marriage. The promise of marriage is
as binding as the i will and not cnce in
10000 times is a man justified in break
ing that promise No one has right to
plead he had made a mistake. The spec
ter of broken heart lying in the church
yard haunts many an otherwise happy
home"

FORWARD.

A representative business man
was among the Wall Street money
investors a few days ago and he is
back to say to our people that
money is plentiful there, that the
pulse OF holders is strong and they
are anxious to let it go on money
maturing investments. He is
sure our railroad project would be
90 if we would only get our sub
scriptions in good shape. Now
why not make the last and des-
perate struggle for finish to this
undertaking. The early spring
should find US at work construct
ing the proposed road.
There are other profitable UNI
dertakings for Mt Sterling which
if completed would land several
manufactures here within a year,
Their coming would be good for
every branch of business inside
and outside the city. The effort
to secure them is worth while.
Let's be at the work.

FEWER BABIES IN GERMANY
Noticeable Decrease in Birth Rate,
Especially in Cities, Shown in
Official Statistics.

Official statistics covering rs
years show a steady and noticeable de-
crease Of the birth rate in the large cities
OF Germany, in spite of the fact that the
marriage rate is higher than in cities OF
less than 100000 inhabitants and in the
country.
Berlin, which passed the 2,000, 900
mark in December, presents the heav-
lest decrease in the birth rate. From
1896 to 1900 It averaged 2S,9. against A. 8
from 1875 to 1880 The highest birth
rate is in the great industrial centers
Of the Rhenish province, In Essen the
average is All, in Dortmund 47,3, in
Dusseldorf Az and in Cologne 40.2. The
marriage rate is highest in Berlin-2l. 9
land in the other great cities it is
1921 a thousand.
The statistical bureau points out that
this portends considerable decrease in
the national birth rate, as the decline in
the great cities, with an increasing pro-

REIGN OF TERROR NEEDED
Bernard Shaw Creates Big Sensation
by Savage Attack Upon Wealthy
Idle Of London,

London.-Georgs Bernard Shaw, the
socialist, playwright, novelist, econo-
mist and borough councillor, has deliV-
cred a speech in the heart of fashionable
London, and has savagely attacked the
wealthy idler class. In his arraignment,
which has created a decided sensation,
ne SAID:
1.-THE only remedy for social evils is
the crude. simple one Of equality. Some
people argue that it is impossible for
men 10 be equal, because they are neither
mentally nor physically equal. Such peo-
pie should not be argued with; they
ought to be burned. That is the way to

I'VE are too squeamish about killing.
There is an immense number Of people
living In Mayfair who ought to be guillo-
tined. There ought to be board like the
income tax commissioners before which
the rich ought to be compelled to appear
and prove that they have earned their
incomes. If II can be proved that any
body takes money he doesn't earn he

"The burglar frequently obtains his

He possesses qualities which have made
England famous. The thing to do is to
establish a minimum income and compel
everybody to work for it, That minimum

he could not be a decent member of So

WORKS AS LABORER
HEIR TO MILLIONS TOLLS WITH
MEcHANICs.
Charles H. Long, Son Of Late Coal
King, an Ambitious Man-Has
Mastered Steel Industry and
Is a Practical Banker.

Philadelphia.-Wi fortune in hand
and million in sight, Charles Hubert
Long, son OF the late coal king, Albert
B. Long, is working as laborer at the
Baldwin locomotive works in Philadel-
phia.
Out Of the shop Mr.. Long dresses,
looks, and is the cultured gentleman OF
fortune In the foundry. where he does
the heaviest manual labor, he works side
by side with giants who must work or
starve, and what they do he does, man
fer man their equal. None OF Mr.. Longs
fellows in the foundry know Of his
wealth of his social position, or Of his
future possibilities. His wealth is
bore to him; his social status is taken
as a matter OF course.
Mr.. Long is only 20 years OF age, but
has mastered every detail Of the steel in
dustry even beyond the point that his
work has taken him, and is also prac-
teal banker. He served a full appren-
ticeship in the great steel mills at Lew
istown, Pa, where he was born, and
when his term of service in the mill was
over he entered the Citizens national
bank as a clerk and made banking his
special study, learning its details even
TO the mechanism of the safes In every
branch Of the work he proved himself
peculiarly apt. II was in the face of
the strongest opposition from the OFF,
GERS OF the bank that Mr.. Long resigned
and resumed his pastime OF hard physi-
cal labor at the Baldwin locomotive
works.
Covered from head TO heels with SCOT
and grease, Mr.. Long quits his work
with the $4,000 other employees OF the
Banldwins, and, falling into step with
the great black army Of the ironworkers
that pours out OF the acres OF shops,
walks to his apartments, where, chow
ing consideration for others In the
house, he Sheds" his overslls and
blouse and takes the worst off" in the
laundry. Then in bathrobe and slippers
he makes his way to his handsome suite
OF rooms, where he dresses for dinner.
Asked to explain why he does such
hard, dirty work, Mr.. Long revealed
himself in two lines: Il like It.; may
need it; it 10 decent; it pays"
His ambition in life is TO be master
mechanic OF great steel plant, and
such ne will De ii ne mas 10 buiid ;hs
plant with his own money. He is paid
$40 a day for the work he does now.
This is less than he received at Lewis
town, but he claims that the difference
In pay is balanced by the fact that he
is now learning more. He insists that
be is not entitled to any more.

WFOM?

The time is approaching when
the people are wanting to know
whom the State Representatives
and Senators will favor for u. S.
ISenator. The Advocate has a
Ichoice Of the men mentioned for
this position and would favor the
election Of Judge Thomas H..
Paynter Of the Court Of Appeals.
We would favor Judge Paynter
6rst for Instability to represent
the people. His close study as a
lawyer and Judge, his powers of
discrimination, his popularity
among the people, his freedom
from partisan methods have en-
deared him to his people and fit
him for a just representative.
While Judge Paynter has always
been true to Democratic princi
pies never at any time has his con-
duct compromised his dignity and
at all times he has shown signs of
the great man and true Statesman
that he is. An active man, vigor-
Gus in mind and body, trained to
think, conclude and bring to pass,
he would make a Senator Of whom
Kentuckians would have reason
10 be proud OF.

'The Negro" His Topic for Discussion.

of doubt rises before him, and in
it he sees his own soul, ''darkly, as
through a veil, and in that soul
he sees reflected faint revelation
of inborn power, of a mission all
its own. Suddenly, round about
him shines a radiance of rare glory.
Under its rays doubt vanishes and
the innermost recesses of that gulf
show forth their secrets. His
hearts leaps under the inspiration
of great conception. He can
never cross that gulf, he can never
be white, but he can be himself.
And so in half-awakened conscious
ness he stands trembling upon the
threshold of self-realization The
Negro for the first time sees and
knows himself. And so comes the
third ideal that has possessed the
Negro race: education-culture of
hand, intellect and soul.
The racial strife of today is the
logical outcome of present day
conditions. Two different peoples
of varying degrees of culture are
seeking to progress under the same
institutions. The government,
laws and educational system of a
people and their social and indus
trial organization are the result of
a growth, an evolution out of lower
forms, which keeps pace with the
development of a nation; and to be
suited to people, they must be an
expression of the particular stage
of civilization attained by that
people. Language, laws and in
stitutions are mile posts in the
evolution of a race, telling how far
it has advanced and pointing the
way onward and upward. And for
a nation to ignore the teachings of
experience and to fly in the face
OF law, Liberty is from within; it
can only exist as the product of
character, and character is a gem
which holds in the mysterious
beauty of crystalization all the
good, the noble, and the true that
has enriched a races past. We
cannot take an African savage,
cast him for two centuries in the
mold of slavery, and then, in a day
implant within his bosom that
transcendant brilliancy, those rad
liant hues that can only shine forth
from a nature cut, ground, and
polished in Gods workshop of ages.
Shall we then despair because
many have failed to grasp the new
conditions of their suddenly
changed environment, and have
deteriorated? Already the leaders
have seized the issues, and out of
the gigantic struggle for race ex-
istence emerge the names of Du-
Bois, Council, Hoffman, Morris,
Lyons, Dunbar, Booker L. Wash
