Christian Endeavor Hour
Conducted by Grace Livingston Hill-Lutz.
For Sunday. October IL. 1908.

Topic: recommending Our Society. III. BY Dill
gent Committee Work. Romans. Xii :1-11.
This whole chapter seems to have been
written just for our committees. First.
there is the fitting Of ones self for the
work. You must make up your mind
when you begin that you are not going
to get honor or fame, or perhaps even
much pleasure. out Of the work. It is to
be sacrificed for the work itself. If you
would be a At worker it is but reasonable
that you should put yourself and your
own feelings entirely out of the question.
not troubled because another man has
position OF more honor. neither does 1t
disturb him If somebody criticises his
work, always providing he has done it
ing the will of God, and 1t makes no diff
ference what people say of him. he had
given up himself and is working for God.
Paul here strikes at the very root of
much Of the trouble with Christian work
ers. They are apt to think of themselves
more highly than they ought to think"
to consider that they are worthy of a
higher place than some one else. The
hard work that brings no praise they do
not care to do. Yet 1t has to be done in
order that the work as a whole may be
complete. If we could but learn to sac
rifice our individual wishes and feelings
for the sake Of the kingdom. much more
work would be done. 1t is almost pitiful
how many times in the Bible we have to
be exhorted to love one another. God
knew how often we would forget and
think about ourselves instead. "In honor
preferring one another" That means
that you will not always maneuver to
play the organ the nights most people
are expected out, but will take your turn.
even il your meeting is an inconspicuous
one. It means also that you will take
up your cross and do the prominent thing.
sometimes when that Is hard IL the work
has to be done and no one wants to do it.
Practical Personal Suggestions.
If you are a Christian Endeavorer you
are. of course, on some committee. Do
you always attend your committee meet
ings? Did 1t ever occur to you to kneel
AMI pray for them before you go? Yes.
even II 1t is the social committee. and
you expect to spend the hour of it's meet
ing in planning how much cake you will
need sfor the next social, and who will

VOTE BY STATES.
Where Balance of Power Lies in Next
National Conventions.

The heavy shading in the accom-
panying map indicates the states
commanding 80 or more votes in the
national conventions. The light shad-
Ing indicates states commanding ~
or more votes in the conventions 1t
Is apparent at a glance at the map
where the balance of power will lie in
the next conventions which will name
Republican and Democratic presiden-
tial nominees. In the case of the
Chicago convention, for example.
there will be $50 delegates This total
Is reached by allowing two delegates
for every member of the lower house
of congress and two delegates at large
from each state for each senator in the
upper house of congress. This map
shows the number of delegates from
each state in the Union and in addf-
ton Alaska will have 2, Hawaii 2,
Philippine Islands and Porto Rico 2.
A glance at the map shows consecu-
tive territory from Massa chusetts on
the east to Missouri on the west,
which can practically dominate the
nomination of candidate. When
those other eastern states which COM
mand a voting strength in the conven-
ton of 20 or more delegates are also
taken into consideration, it is readily
apparent that the presidents of the
United States are in every instance
made and elected east of the Missis-
sippi
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Missouri alone
command 312 votes in the conven-
tion. A glance at the map demon
strates also the fact that the south is
a factor well worth consideration from
the presidential aspirant, for south of
Mason and Dixon's line lies sufficient
votes to turn the tide in a fairly even
ly matched campaign.
The most striking conclusion from
these figures and shadings. however,
Is the fact that the great west figures
but little In presidential politics.
Fourteen western states, all west of
the Mississippi and including the en-
tire western territory except Califor-
MIA. Kansas and Texas command but
10S votes, while New York and Ohio
alone command 124.
A further conclusion is thus evil
dent. AS go Massachusetts,, New
York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Missouri and Texas, will go
the nomination. At present these
eight states are fairly well divided
among the leading Republican aspi-
rants. while Bryan undoubtedly con-
trolls a majority of their votes for the
Democratic nomination.
A further interesting deduction is
the fact that the Republican conven-
ton sits in the very center of the most
important voting district, while the
Democratic nomination goes into the
far west, where the voting strength
is greatly lessened

STOPS EMIGRANTS.
Attaches Private Car in Which They
Were Bound for Texas.

On a writ of attachment issued to
c. w. Hoyt of Topeka, a former en-
ploye of the Fidelity Immigration
company of Texas. Sheriff Wilkerson
afternoon tied up a Santa Fe train
and attached private car belonging
to the Immigration company. Hoyt
filed suit for $4,640, which he claims
is due him from the Immigration
company as back salary, and secured
writ to attack the company's car.
which he knew was coming through
Topeka in the Colorado and Texas
express on the Santa Fe. When the
train reached Topeka, the sheriff and
officials, also on the manager of the
private car, which was loaded with
homes eekers bound for Texas. The
railroad officials would not cut out the
from the chief dispatcher, and they
had to hold the train over an hour
while searching for Hugh McPhee.
who was out of the city. After get
ting a wire from McPhee, the emf
grant car was set out on the side
track, and the beIated train passed on
toward Texas. J. Hurd, manager OF
the car, began wiring for his brother
in Texas to secure bond for him. He
has to give bond equal to double the
before he can proceed with his load
of emigrants. At 10 o'clock this
morning the car was still standing in
the Topeka yards. and the home
hunters were camping therein. They
do not seem to be greatly worried by
the delay, as the car is a com bina ito n
affair fitted up for just such emergen-
cies.
Hurd says that Hoyt's claim is un-
founded and that the company does
sumo its journey this afternoon after
q delay of over "a hours.

DIED IN COUNTY JAIL.
P1tfful Case of Insane Negro Woman
Turned Out of Asylum.

Mrs. Josephine Giles, negro woman
who was insane, died in the hospital
ward of the county Jail at 9 o'clock this
morning. This woman, who was but
mildly insane, was brought to the
asylum from Saline county last year
About six months ago Shawnee county
had an insane woman on its hands,
and after proving her insanity, sought
to get her into the asylum. The asylum
authorities said that they were crowd
ed, and would take the patient, who
was violent. only on condition that the
county take charge of a patient of the
institution to make room for her On
this condition the county received the
woman who died this morning of -tuber-
culosis. The county authorities tried
repeatedly to have her taken back by
the asylum, but were refused. AS a re-
suit, she died In Jail, after being there
confined, under conditions unfavorable
to sickness Of any kind. for over six
months She was brought in from the
asylum ''to make room for another
patient" Jure 26. 1907. g..
The county Jailers and sheriff have
been insisting that the woman did not
belong to Shawnee county, and should
therefore be returned to Saline county.
Saline county, having gotten rid Of her,
refused to take her back, and there
was nothing left to do. but hold her
pending some arrangement.
Last night the woman seemed to be
seriously i'll, and the jailers called DR..
Nicoll, county physician. He could not
decide what was the matter with her,
and when he was called again this
morning, her actions were such that he
thought she was shamning to a certain
extent. and told the officers SO. He had
hardly left the Jail building when the
woman died. The three other female
prisoners were badly frightened by the
death struggles of the colored woman
All the women locked in the same
department, the hospital ward, which Is

tion and comfort.
The body was turned over to Frank

contract for burying county charges.
Jailer NJ Rundy said today: This
Jail seems to be the dumping place for
the undesirables of other counties. Re-
Gently Jackson county palmed off an
insane woman on u.s. and then, after We
had sent her home. had the nerve to
ask us to take charge of her again. The
asylum authorities say Shawnee county
has more than its share Of patients In
the institution. and refuses to accent
patients from this county unless we Will
take charge Of some other patient to
make room. We keep this jail in the
best possible condition, but Jail is no
place for an insane person. They should
be kept where they could receive some
medical attention. Besides that. an In
sane person is not q criminal. and
should not be locked up with criminals.
