DRINK EVIL THE
WORST IN TOWN.
OPINION OF GENERAL JENKINS,
A CLOSE OBSERVER.
Commander of the Northwest Province
of the Salvation Army Before Leav-
ing Discusses the Problems That
Threatens the Morality Of Minneapo-
lis-Praises Work of Mayor Jones.

Brigadier General w. F. jenkins,
commander Of the northwest province
of the Salvation Army, has been infor-
mally notified by Commissioner General
Kilby that he is to be transferred to an
other division. The transfer will be
made June 20.
The two years that General Jenkins
has been with the Salvation Army in
Minneapolis have been period of rapid
growth. When he came to Minneapolis
the quarters were in the building on
First avenue S now used as the 'shel--
ter The rooms were cramped and
the work hampered. The first step
was to move the provincial offices to the
Boston block and in March, 1904, the
old city hall was secured.
Since that time the industrial home
has developed under Captain w. H.
Gooding, the relief department. under
Captain Wiley Miller, the Sundayschool
work under Ensign A. P. Storey, and
the shelter under Captain Brown. A
free employment agency has also been
started. The latest departure was in
stituted yesterday when the shelter be-
gan serving coffee and rolls to the. men
that this is a strong move towards tenn,
out the desire for drink. In other
cities it has been found effective.
my two years experience in rescue
work in Minneapolis would lead me te
say that the greatest evil confronting
social. moral and intellectual advance
ment is the drink problem and it's con
comitant evils. Perhaps we Salvation
lists look upon problems too much from
one side, but I should say that the
greatest need is salvation. 80. =.
HThe Salvation Army Is strong
supporter of the policy Of the presen
mayor and in our work see the good re
suits. There is less vicious drunken
ness and the social problem is handled
judiciously. Politics seem to be purer
and I believe the general tendency i
upward.
~ wish to thank every one, especial
ly the newspapers, for the supper
given the army. The army is filing it
niche, but the niche is perhaps not !;
large as it should be. There are sew
eral problems now before us, one O
them being suitable quarters for the flu
ture. However, our motto is Battle,
and the army will not lie down in it
endeavor to solve it's problems.''

Iowa's Demand for Saltwater Inmate
Not Properly Oouched.

On the advice of the attorney gem

a requisition in the case of Thomas
Moran, now serving sentence at Still

that the papers were sent by mail and

not found until April 10, 1905, when the

Negro Property Owners.

Some encouraging facts regarding the
material condition of the negroes of
Georgia are given in q recent magazine
article. In 1875 the assessed valuation of
the household and kitchen furniture of
all the negroes in that state. then num-
bering between 100000 and 100000, was
but S21 1S6, or about cents per capita.
In 1892 it was S1,6S8, 541, or more than
81. so per capita. Evidently the people
who, in quarter century, made the
additions which these figures represent
to their household goods take a whole
some and growing pride in their homes.
The assessed valuation of all the
property owned by negroes in Georgia
in 1902 was S15. 5.1SS069. They possessed,
ia that year, 1,t75,29 acres-of land. An
investigation embracing fifty-six coun-
ties shows their farms are generally
small. The following figures indicate
their sizes: Under ten acres, 80. 80 per
cent; ten or under forty acres, q per
cent; forty or under 100 acres, 81. 50 per
cent; 100 or under 200 acres, 80 per
cent; 200 or under 500 acres, $50 per
cent; 500 acres or over, .9S per cent.
The desire to own property must be
considerably developed in men before
any substantial progress can reasonably
be expected of them. EXertions to sat-
isfy this desire develop habits of in
dustry and perseverance and a capa-
city for sustained effort; and these hab-
its and this capacity are at the founda-
tion of the civilized mans character.
Once a man was learned to work and
think to get property he will generally
work and think to get more than he
needs for his bare support. Having ac-
quired the necessities he will try 10
surround himself with simple luxuries.
Especially may he be expected to en-
deavor TO give his children a start in
his little fortune, but by educating
them. The desire to own property as
suredly is not the highest of aspirations,
but probably it has contributed more
to the promotion of human progress
than any other human motive.
The desire has become widely diffused
among the negroes of Georgia. 1t is
said negroes in other parts of the south
have bee increasing their wealth with
equal rapidity. White people are wisely
putting no obstacles in their way. The
negro property owner, like the white
property owner, other things being
equal makes the best citizen. He has
a stake in the orderliness and welfare
of the community. Anxious that others
shall let him and his property alone,
he is disposed to let them and theirs
alone. It is especially desirable that
negro ownership of farm lands shall in
crease. In the rural districts the blacks
prosper most, materially, mentally, and
morally. The more southern negroes
there are cultivating their own little
farms the better for the south and the
entire country.

NMlCnlSdn OdInOllC.J
In a recent issue of the Grand Rap
ids Herald there appeared picture
puzzle" which is an insult and libel on
the character of the Irish race. The
picture outrage of Irish life and Gus
toms present the form of woman
standing in the midst of burning wood,
and underneath the malignity is the
following:
July 5-Ten years ago today Bridget
Cleary was burnt to death as witch
, at BALTYVADHEN, Tipperary. Find
her husband
There is no place in the County Tip
perary named "Baltyvadhen, neither
has any one been burnt to death in
Ireland for over two centuries. The
government OF England, which unfor
tunately makes laws for Ireland, no
longer Furnishes witchcraft by death.
The earliest recorded case of witch
craft in Ireland occurred in 1924. The
party charged with the crime was
tried by an ecclesiastical tribunal,
while a similar case happening in
England, about the same period, was
tried by a secular court. The last vic
Tins of witchcraft in England were
Mrs. Hickes and her daughter years
of age executed in 1716; and the last in
Scotland suffered death in 1922. An act
passed in the reign of George ~ pun
1Shed those praCtlclnS WllcncraIt dS
rogues and vagabonds This act re-
moved the death penalty.
The fertile imagination of the ma
ligner who drew the syndicate puzzle
picture" for the sensational press,
which includes the Grand Rapids Her
aid, has drawn too largely upon his.
ignorance of English law which pre-
walls in Ireland. His selection of a town
in the County Tipperary-" Baltyvad-
hen"-which has no existence, and his
giving the name Bridget Cleary" to
the woman who was burnt to death
ten years ago." shows to what length
the low-bred fellows who furnish 'puz-
zle pictures" and other falsehood for the
secular sensational press will go to earn
a cowar1ly living, and to increase the
receipts Of newspapers like the Grand
Rapids Herald.
1t is time for the Irish people to raise
an unanimous voice against the libels
that are being daily issued against
their character in a portion of the sec
ular press of this country. We reiterate
our statement, made in the opening
paragraph of this article, that the
puzzle picture" in the Grand Rapids
Herald representing. d woman being
burnt to death in the County Upper
airy, ten years ago, is vile and out
rageous slander upon the Irish race.
