TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

ne, your committee appointed from
Rose Lane Baptist school, to draft reso-
lutions on the death of Bro. Charlie
Grow, beg leave to report as follows:
In the death of this noble young man,
our Sunday school has lost one of it's
best and most highly esteemed men,
bers. He was secretary of our school
at the time Of his death, and was al
ways at his post of duty. No member
of our school was more regular in at
tendance, or more faithful in the per-
Torrance of every duty than Charlie
Grow.
He was converted and Joined Rose
Lane Baptist church when about four
teen years old. Seek ye first the king
dom of God and His righteousness. I"
This young man did this, and was,
therefore, not only better prepared for
the duties of life, but was prepared to
leave this world when death came.
What a comfort to all of us who loved
him so dear; especially was this no
doubt great comfort to his father, our
beloved pastor, and to his mother, who
loved him most, for we believe there is
no love in a human breast that COM
pares with a mothers love for her boy,
To his parents, brothers, sisters, and
to all who loved him, we extend in be-
half of our Sunday school our heartfelt
sympathy in the loss of this noble young
man. May this strange dispensation of
an Advise Providence prove blessing
to us all,
He was eighteen years old at the time
of his death We commend to others
as an example the noble life of this
young man,
We recommend that these resolutions
be entered on our Minute book, and
that page be dedicated to his memo
ry. Also, that copy ne furnished to
the family of the deceased also, that a
copy be furnished the Marietta Journal

DR.. Wiley penounee. Alcohol.

Washington-In signed statement
just given out, DR.. H. w. Wiley, chief
of the bureau of chemistry of the De-
partment Of Agriculture, makes a Wig.
orous denial Of statements he is alleged
to have made recently, one being to the
effect that 1.-The man who never takes
a drink is a molly coddle.'"
The statements attributed to DR..
Wiley in regard to whisky and alcohol
were made ia an address before the
University club in Washington Satur-
day night, February 10th, and he de-
clares they "are wholly unwarranted
by the facts
DR.. Wiley is credited also with hav-
ing said in effect that 1t will be sorry
day for this country II booze" is ever
banished from its domains and that he
would have the young man drink
whisky not only for his stomach's sake,
but to give him nerve, self-reliance,
etc. Here is what DR.. Wiley states
he actually did say on the occasion re-
ferred to:
II said believed the general eff
feet Of alcohol on mankind was wholly
bad; that 1t was bad even in small
quantities; that If distilled beverages,
such as whisky, brandy and rum. had
any good effects, they were due to the
fact that the aromatic and fragrant
substance therein stimulated the di.
gestive secretions and thus overcome
to certain exteit the bad effect OF
the alcohol which they contained.
Il further said that was. in theory,
prohibitionist, but that there were
practical difficulties in the way Of pro
hibition, and that the better plan would
be to abolish the saloons and that II
people wanted to drink distilled bever
ages they should do so quietly at their
homes and with their foods and not in
saloons.
Il did not suggest, nor advise young
men to drink liquor of any kind, but
said that It was always bad"

Conception of the Sphinx.

1t Ia, think, one OF the most as
founding facts in the history of man
that a pan was able to contain within
his mind. to conceive, the conception
of the Sphinx. That he could carry it
out in the stone is amazing. But how
much more amazing 1t is that before
there was the Sphinx he was able to
Sc 1t with his Imagination, writes
Robert Hichens in the Century. One
may criticise the Sphinx. One may
say impertinent things that are true
about 1t: that seen from behind at a
distance its head looks like an enor-
nous mushroom growing In the sand !;
that its cheeks are swelled inordinate-
ty; that its thin-lipped mouth is legal;
that from certain places 1t bears q re-
semblance to a prize bulldog. All this
does not matter at all. What does
matter is that into the conception and
execution of the Sphinx has been
poured q supreme imaginative power.
He who created 1t looked beyond
Egypt, beyond the life of man. He
grasped the conception Of eternity,
and realized the nothingness of time.
and he rendered 1t in stone.

People who know only tile poverty

For those conditions no one set of per-

that too many people try to live on an
acre of land. A deep social struggle
results, OF which the recent strike"
Of tenants In New York is an explo-
sion. Hundreds of tenants agreed not
to pay their rent on January ! unless
the landlords lowered the rates. The
legal complications and the delays OF
eviction and court processes gave the
tenants an advantage. The landlords

strikers. maintained that they were

rents have been increased out OF pro-
portion to the added expenses. One OF
the evils that has become plain in this
conflict is that of sub-letting. says the
Youths Companion. The owner lets

turn sublet rooms. Several profits thus
come out of the poorest occupants.
The reduction of this evil and of others

Advocate. Woman Suffrage.

Washington. = Senator Owen OF
Oklahoma was one of the speakers In
the woman suffrage hearing before the
House committee on the judiciary
Tuesday. His address was frequently
interrupted with applause. He paid a
glowing tribute to womanhOod and ear
nestly advocated universal suffrage.
He claimed that the saloon element
in Oklahoma had defeated the univer-
sal woman suffrage proposition and
said that If women had questioned
every candidate before election they
would have carried that point instead
of having their suffrage limited to
school questions.
Mr. Alexander of New York asked
Senator Owen II he would be willing
to give the ballot to the low class of
immigrant women who came to this
country.
YES" replied Senator Owen, be
cause the vote of the male element is
largely dominated by the saloon and
brothel influences. and the vote OF the
women would counteract the votes OF
this class of males"
The senator pointed out that In the
states where woman suffrage Is uni
versal the percentage OF woman con-
victs is very low. He said in Wyoming
there is not one woman now incarcer-
ated in the penitentiary. He contend
ed that the vote Of the women would
be largely against corruption and i'm
morality in the states.
Before the Senate judiciary commit
tee Rev. Anna Shaw, as the president
of the National Female Suffrage Asso-
citation, introduced the speakers. the
leader of whom was Mrs. Belva Lock
wood, who expressed confidence in the
support OF her cause by the committee.
Mrs. Fannie Fernald made an eloquent
plea for "a voice in government which
controls every interest We hold dear"
