New York requires OF its doctors.
lawyers, pharmacists and so on that
they comply with the standards that
have been set, and other states are
coming up to this system OF unifom-

Gentlemen: We have with US to-
day a friend, a visitor who brings a
great, big, kindly, sympathetic heart
for the South, Southern people, South
ressern institutions n southern pro-
greSs. He is a man who began life
soon after the war as a reporter on
a northern paper n Who with the
clearest vision Of which 1 know
gave expression to the name and la
be1led as carpet baggers" those who
came to fatten on the South at the
close of the war, q name that stands
and Will stick as long as such cTea-
lures are inflicted on honest Anglo

to present to you Hon. ST. Clair Nc
Kelway, editor of the BROOKLYN Eagle.
He viii speak to yOu perhaps soberly,
perhaps with popularity. for he ever
had the assurance to claim that he
was a younger looking man than
you speaker. But has been re-
stored to a normal condition, and no
longer regards me as perhaps a
Catholic priest or an Episcopal
bishop, and being no longer under re-
straint he will give you the genuine
article"

room, but if the United States Army

commodate the pace OF the long hand

Will agree that / VIII not make
myself immortal by making myself
eternal, (much laughter) and we can
communicate with each other without
obstruction from either. You viii
talk the silent part and Will pre-
sent such substitutes for thought as
