more enlightened. and more prepared
for the splendid self government now
witre sed in the American republic.
This nation had in the past shown the
capacity to solve. and solve right the
problems which rad confronted it. and
tie wisdom gained would enable it to
overcome all situations coming up in
the future. One great problem must
be taken up at time. He put it as
if the nation were surrounding
series of heights. the next one being
unseen until the one just now before
was reached and overcome.
One of the most bright and interest
ing parts of his address was during
the period when he called attention to
the wonderful advance made in indus
trial appliance and useful inventions
in the past fifty years. His strong
point made at this time was that the
price of the labor saving machinery,
electric service, the new lite preserv-
ing appliances. had made millionaire
manufacturers, great combines. but
yet no one desires to go back to the
old order of things. The sewing ma
chine. the reaper. the threshing ma
chine which stacked with "hot air. :"
the air brakes, the self car coupler
the electric car, 1.-The telephone. the lay
ing out of railroads. all had revolu-
tlonized the manner of doing the
things which they were designed to
do. No one could be induced to go
back to the old way, yet the new had
been ushered in the huge manufact-
uring plants, with their problems of
right pay. and right hours. and the
building up of fabulous fortunes.
In time these disadvantages which had
come with the good things would be
regulated.
He called attention to the fact that
public opinion was advancing and that
what in the past had been honest and
square, was now said to be graft and dis
elimination. A few years ago all
would admit that the man who shipped
1000 cars should receive cheaper rate
than he who shipped lor2, but now it has
been shown that this meant the crush
ing out of the smaller dealers and
shippers and the law now reads that the
small and large shipper must be on
the same level. Senators and repre-
sentatives were now imprisoned for
doing what Webster and his fellows
did, and it was thought right. The
law now says that no member of con-
gress shall take pay for appearing be-
fore a department of government on
behalf of any client or constituent.
To do this is not in itself wrong. but
now it is thought that members must
be above the suspicion of using their
official position to gain benefit for
another, and receive pay for it.
Mr.. Bede gloried in what our nation
is accomplishing as the leader of the
world. He held that there is now
hardly nation on the face of the
earth which is moi better in govern

DR.. McGurk Tells Many Home
Truths.
GREAT UNION SERVICE HELD
Sunday Forenoon Witnesses Grea,
Union Meeting at Chautauqua
Grounds.

After hearing DR.. McGurk speak
on Saturday forenoon and Sunday at
the Chautauqua. one will not be sur
prlsed that his Methodist congregation
at Kansas City is ready to pay him
81, 900 year and will build church
of magnificent proportions for him to
preach in. Hearing so many of the
lecturerers tell stories to illustrate
things and please the public. we must
be excused for giving one at this
time. A little six year old had been
telling what he had said and done and
was asked "What made you act that
way when Fred was hurt and in
trouble. The reply came because

knows things and is able to tell
people what he knows.
His lecture on Saturday forenoon
was plea for proper show for boys
and girls. physically, morally and in
tellectually. He came right down to
plain facts in life. First he held
that every child had the right to be
we'll born. not of rich parents. but to
have healthy parents. and to be well
coined to the home. He told of the
influence which the mother could have
on the child in the months before it is
born. He asked for the child a
pleasant childhood, that is, parents
who sympathized with the children.
and tried to make the little ones hap
| py. He made plea for the boys,
demanding that they should be taught
to be as pure and virtuous as the
girls. He asked that the boys have
as good home surroundings as the girls,
as nice room, place to entertain
their chums. that they be introduced
to men and women as if they were
some one in the world. He said that
the lack of some place to go with boy
hood friends was the means of sending
boys to the billiard halls and the
saloons. At this point he uttered a
scathing denunciation of the saloon
and expressed the hope that some day
/ Denison would be free of them.
DR.. McGurk also spoke for the
girl. and demanded that she have the
proper education for her life work.
He said that from the lips of the
mother should come the truth as to the
relation of the sexes in bringing into
life the children. He told of the
! career of the daughter of Presbyter-
ian minister VINO had fallen because

explained that the boys were educated
to be doctors. lawyers, specialists and

they were prepared for the work of
life but the girl hung out her single

Ambitious Denison Girl to take Course
in Famous Hospital

Miss Adelaute Newcomer of Wash
ington township. whose excellence
as a trained nurse has already been
we'll demonstrated. is ambitious to
stand at the very top of her pro-
fession. Accordingly she left on
Monday for New York City where she

From the Christian Index.
For great many years the Wash
ington Bee, pblished i'll Washington, D.
C., has never seen anything said or
done by Booker T. Washington to COM
pliment. 1t has lost no time in crit
icising the sage of Tuskegee, and often
handled him without gloves. In an
issue of that paper in December there
was a change of front by the versatile
editor. 1t spoke very complimentary
of Mr. Washington in the highest terms.
Indeed we were glad TO see that the
lamb and the lion have come to be
strange bed-fellows. There is no need
of eternal warfare on a man because
he is doing what he believes to be right.

title DO We Surrender"
We have just finished the perusal
of the article and cannot refrain from
writing to you our congratulations
for your strong words of praise for
Prof. Washington. He is worthy of

advice he gives to our race. Mis-
takes, yes. Thank the Lord. he is
human-so human that he is liable

hope that The Bee has said something
