Mississippi, but other navigable rivers. The basin of the Missis- sippi, taken as a whole, constitutes the greatest agricultural empire that men have ever cultivated, and an equally great system of water highways is needed to supply any inadequacy of land carriage for the products of this region.
 Unless something unforeseen occurs to make me alter my plans I intend to accompany the mem- bers of the inland waterways con- mission on a three or four days trip at the beginning of October down the Mississippi. I feel that the problems before the commission concern yitally not only the people of the Mississippi valley, but the people of our entire country and anything I can do to help forward the rapid solution of these prob. lens and the proper utilization of our great waterways I am glad indeed to do."
 This letter has been sent to the governors of Arkansas. Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Maine, Nebraska. North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Missouri

 ANNIVERSARY Of the Marriage of Doctor and Mir. s. z. Alexander ST. Religioasly Celebrat- ed Sunday.
DIR. NORRIS SERMON
All of the Children and Grandchildren in Attendance-IIis Journey Al- most Ended -"HalleIujah!" Said Doctor Alexander.

Tears filled the eyes of every one in the large congregation which attended the services at the First Presbyterian church yesterday, when the members of that church celebrated religiously the fiftieth wedding anniversary of Doctor and Mrs. s. c. Alexander Sr., whose home in their long married life has never been visited by the Grim Reaper.
 The church was crowded to the doors and among those present were the members of the Alexander family, including four children and eight grandchildren, one of the younger grandchildren being de- tained at home on account of ill., ness.
 The services were the most beau tiful and impressive ever carried out in the Presbyterian church. The beautiful interior of the already at. tractive edifice was added to with cut flowers, ferns and pains and there was an impressive air about every solo and organ number that added appropriateness to the occa- sion. The music was excellent
 Doctor J. I. Norris, the pastor, conducted the service. He took for bis theme 'The Divinenees of the Family Bond In part he said: Family was instituted of God. It was was instituted in Eden when man was sinless. In the subse- quent history of the race God deals with the family. His covenants and engagements are with the families. A
 .'The children of Israel ob- served the passover by families. All through the Bible the family covenants and religion are prom inent In the establishment of the New Testament form of the church Peter said: The promise is to you and to your children consequently we read of household churches and households being received into the church.
 s'Home is one of the sweetest Words in the language. Yet there are some languages that have no equivalent for the word home But where the true God is known and worshioped and where men and women have hope of heaven, home is always g grand word. To them Heaven is home and God is home. Some have no home and no hope of home in Heaven
 "But in the family which is prom inent in this service for fifty years God has been known and honorad and his covenants kept and each one looks out into the the future, sure of home on high everlasting in the heavens
 No death has occurred in this immediate family for fifty years
 After the sermon, Doctor J. l.. Caldwell, former pastor of the First Presbyterian church and cousin of Doetor Alexander, led the congre eati0n in 8 very impressive prayer.
 Doctor Alexander asked that he

The interior of the Temple were prettily decorated with ferns, cut flowers and palms and the musical program one of the most highly entertaining offered there for months.

Veil; Irene Ros J CT, of NT, William Rosenzweig, and Harold Rut- stein, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jake Rut stein
 The address of Rabbi Frisch to the confirmants, before blessing them and sending them to their parents for their blessing, was scholarly one and fill ed with good advice. The planting of the tree of life by the confirmants, Ill which each one imbedded flower with a prayer, was most impressive and an appropriate and interesting feature of the services.
 The musical program was added to with a solo by Daniel w. Taylor of Little Rock, whose number was charming.
 Tn the afternoon and evening the parents of the confirmants kept "open houses and throughout the day call CTS were entertained and dined. Each confi,rmant was the recipient of many beautiful presents

"SUPERLATIvE OBSCENITY."
United States District Attorney Atwell
Threatens Grand Jury Presentment

Dallas, Tex, Feb. 13.-The fol-
lowing letter was issued from the
attorneys office of the Federal
District Court in Dallas this after
noon:
Department of Justice, Office
of the United States Attorney,
Northern District of Texas, Dallas,
Tex. Feb. 1910 the Press OF
the Northern District of Texas.
Section 1898 of the Revised.
Statutes of the United States, as
amended, inhibits and Furnishes
the depositing of obscene matter
for mailing and delivery in the
United States mails. The nauseat-
ing testimony of a witness in the
Thaw case, now being tried IN
New York City, in my opinion, IS
superlative obscenity within the
statute above mentioned, and Fed
eral Courts have so repeatedly
held. The reproduction of further
testimony giving rise to li5idinous
thought and forwarded through
the United States mails in this
district will be made the basis for
presentments to the next Federal
Grand Jury convened in this
district.
In giving this notice 1 am not
unmindful of the constitutional
guarantee for the liberty and
freedom of the press. The Su-
preme Court of the United States
in the Jackson, Horner and Rapier
cases upheld the power of Congress
to make laws respecting the sup
preston of lottery advertisements
in the press of the country. Nj
merous cases under Section 1898
have sustained indictments against
persons engaged in the publication
of books, pamphlets, so called
medical works, ETC., which
contained lascivious and lewd
thoughts, suggestions and phrases.
1 am led to conclude, therefore,
that there will not be such protec-
ton of the public press as will
permit it to parade before immature
minds details of liasons which, if
written by private persons in sealed
letters, would be indictable Of
lenses.
4 am constrained to believe
that the managing editor of each
paper mailed in this district will
gladly conform to this opinion and
leave out such of the testimony of
the above mentioned trial as deals
with the matters herein indicated.

The manufacturers Record has a
strong article upon ''Dollar-chasing,"
specially ON the part of educational
enterprises. 1t says:
Great college after great college has
set the pace for the whole educational
system in a wild chase after millions
for endowment, asking only for the
millions, oblivious to the sources of
the millions and gagging at no condi-
ton, however humiliating, necessary
to make the chase a success 1t is
teaching them to draw distinction
between a colleges asking a stranger
capitalist for 100000 and the tramp's
plea to a passer-by for nickel to buy
a glass Of beer, when essentially there
is no difference"
THE APPEAL regards it as a self
evident fact that if the money SO law
ishly poured out for endoWments were
expended upon the public schools, it
would accomplish vastly more good.
This is especially true when applied
to so-called colleges and universities
whose attendance is nearly all children
who would be much better off in the
public schools.

so far that these ISLANDERS had been

there is abundant and official proof
that many of the statements as to the

To plain people it looks as if the
Negro had better right to attend the
same school with whites in the South
than the Japanese has to attend the
same school with whites in California
One right rests on the constitution, OF
which there is no doubt, and the other
on treaty the application of which is
doubtful. The cases are entirely diff
ferent IT, one respect. The Negro is
helpless, and the Japanese are capable
of making good deal of trouble-C Chi
cago Chronicle.
The right of the Afro-American to
attend the public schools is based upon
the fact that he is a .full-fiedged native,
citizen and tax payer. And, again. i.
is not wise to put too much stress
upon the fact that the "Afro-American
is helpless" for ne is not, he has too
much intelligence, manhood and wealth
to be in that condition.
