TO BOOST COLUMBUS

Mr. J. T. Webster, the secre-
tary Of the Business League,
who arrived last week, has great
faith in publicity. He thinks the
people of Columbus have been
too modest in not telling the
world more about what their
town is, what it has been and
what it is going to be.
It's past he thinks is fascinat-
ing to a degree to make good
reading in a pamphlet and its
possibilities are up to the people,
for certainly, he says, the natur-
al advantages are here. Than
Columbus, he says, he never
saw, West or East, a prettier
town; its homes, new and Colo
NAL, and the latter particularly
impress him, show unusual pros
reIity; the streets and public
improvements all that could be
wished, its educational opportu-
mites unexcelled. But what
strikes him most of all is the
ideal location Of the town, from
a practical point of view natur-
al drainage and perfect water
supply.
Mr.. Webster is from Cleburne,
Tex. where he organized and was
secretary of the Commercial
Club For several years he was
editor of the Cleburne Daily Re-
view, and has been connected
with some Of the larger papers
of the West.
He has not yet planned a pub
licity campaign; that matter, he
says, is up to the board of the
Business League, but he believes
Columbus has even more attrac-
tions than it itself knows, and if
these were conservatively but
truthfully set forth for those of
other sections to read, that it
would do Columbus more good in
making for rapid growth and
bringing investors than any
thing else.

TAFT DAY ECHOES
ARE STILL HEARD
COLLEGE SPEECH IN FULL
TWO INFANTS TAKEN INTO PRESIDENTIAL
ARMS AND MOTHER MADE HAPPY.
'POSSUM HERE

1t has been nearly a week since
President Taft's memorable visit
to Columbus, but it will be long
time before the memory of that
days events will fade away and
Taft Day, as Mayor Donnell said,
will undoubtedly become a part
of the history of Columbus.
In three hours so full as those
which marked his stay here, the
average observer fails to catch
anything but the high lights.
Fully fifteen thousand people
saw the parade, are familiar with
the details of the first barbecue
that has been given him, heard
his speech at the grand stand on
Main street, or have read it in last
Thursdays Commercial, but COM
paratively only a few heard his
talk from the Music Hall at the
college. 1t is reproduced in full
below.
All are familiar with the con-
spicuous part of the days happen
ings, but some things took place
which were not on the program.
For instance at the station, just
before his train moved off, as the
President was busy shaking hands
with hundreds of persons eagerly
crOWding within reach, two moth
ers were made to beam with JOY
and two young Americans will
grow up with a distinction be-
yond their playmates. The Presi-
dent took each infant in his arms,
smiled and kissed it, and handed
it back with a word which, it is
safe to say, the mother at that
moment fastened in her memory
for all time.
The President was.the recipient
of a 'possum here. 1t was a small
edition and was presented to him
during the barbecue, by one of the
college girls, with the compliments
of Mr. James Hudson.
AT the station he was given a
milking stool of wood from the
cupboard of Judge Dickinson's
old home. Mr.. c. H. Mooney
made the presentation, with a fit
ting speech, to which the Presi-
dent aptly replied.
And passing his old home,
where Mrs. Estes now lives, Judge
Dickinson got out of his carriage
and was greeted on the porch by
of his old friends. The
home was beautifully decorated.

FREE NIGHT SCHOOL
WORK AT |. |. g. C.
GLASSES UP TOWN READY
BUSINESS COLLEGE TO Be HOME OF
FREE INSTRUCTION TOMORROW NIGHT
MANY PUPILS EXPECTED

Because it was decided to hold
the free night school in the Co
lumbus Business College instead
of in the court house as had been
announced some confusion re-
suited. and the opening was
postponed from last Monday
night to tomorrow night. A
number Of pupils, adults as as
well as children, unable to take
advantage of the regular public
school, are expected to be on
hand at the business college to-
morrow night at z o'clock.
From z to 9 are 20 be the hours
Of instruction each school night
Of the week. In the work spe-
cial stress will be laid upon math-
ematics, as deficiency in this
branch Of study is found to be
general among those who are
eager to avail themselves of the
night school work, but reading,
spelling, and other things will be
taught, rs well.
Competent teachers will have
charge of the classes. Prof.
Thornton. of the business col
lege, will be the head of the
school and Mr.. w. II. Carter and
Mr.. Beverly Matthews will be
among the teachers. AS the
school grows a number Of young
ladies who have been assisting
Mrs. Ostrander in canvassing
the town for pupils, and who
nave volunteered to teach, will
have classes. Although the
work in the uptown branch of
the school was delayed, the free
night school at the college began,
as was announced, last Monday
night. About a dozen pupils,
principally from Robertson's
Addition, reported and were ia
ken in charge by President
Whitfield and students of the
senior class. A number of teach
ers at the college have offered to
assist President Whitfield, and
they will be given classes, it is
said, as soon as the attendance
becomes sufficiently large.
Many Of the faculty are anx-
ious to devote two or three
nights a week to the work.
The organization Of the free
night school is the result of the
efforts of Mrs. NJ. f. Ostrander. |
who since last April has been de-
voting her time to the project.
She has enlisted the support of
merchants and others Of the city
and the ministers have rendered
valuable aid, Two young ladies
from each church were assigned
to help in the work of finding
those in need of the school.
AS many as forty pupils are
expected to be on hand at the
Busines college tomorrow night
ready to begin work, and Mrs.
Ostrander says there are fully
that many more only too willing
to study at the night school.
Persons not actually in touch
with conditions here, she says,
have no idea of the extent of the
need for free instruction in pri-
mary school work at a time

London, Nov, 5-Wild rumors

United Charities.

Below is given the annual re-
port of the work of the United
Charities for the past II months.
From that it will be seen that
more than $500 has been expend-
ed for groceries, fuel, medicine,
hospital expenses and tickets,
every dollar of which can be
vouched for by the officers of the
association and it can be truth
fully said that a thorough inves-
tigation had been made in each
instance before any assistance
was given. A comparison be-
tween those figures and those of
larger cities shows that this as
sociation is doing charity work
for about so per cent. of the
amount that it takes to do the
same work in large places.
A list is also given of the Off
GERS and the respective ward
presidents to whom all cases
should be referred that each
may receive investigation and
helped as merit and good judg-
ment suggest. 1t will be OBJ
served that there is a difference
between local and transient COM
mittees. All nonresident cases
should be referred only to the
transient committee.

not think it was necessary for
her to marry if she did not want
to. (Applause.) Now that is a
proposition that / am prepared
to defend against all comers. |
am the last one to take a posi-
ton against that old doctrine of
the common law, that there
ought to be nothing to interfere
with matrimony, but l would
have matters so arranged, that
young women in making their
choice, should have a full and
free choice, and that can only be
reached when they are put in a
situation, when that which they
choose is not a livelihood, that
they select but a life that is
looked forward to of unmixed
happiness. (Applause.) Voice
in the audience: You can tell
he is married man, That is
the response of some old bache-
lor over there. (Applause: Il
have fourteen children.) Well
if he has fourteen children envy
him that is all. But seriously
speaking, / think the most i'm
portant education that we have
is the education which now | am
glad to say is being accomplish
ed, which ought to be more
widely diffused, that enables
young men and young women to
place themselves in a position
from which they can by their
own efforts work themselves to |
independence; and l am glad to |
know that that principle obtains
here, in its fullest sense, and | |
am glad to congratulate these
young women on the opportu- |
nifty which this great institution |
affords them to carve out their |
own future, and their own hap !
piness. | know that it is gener-
ally supposed that those who in
herit wealth are in the best posi-
ton for a future happy life, l |
mean in this world; but | venture
to say that the best legacy that |
can be left to young man is a |
good education, good character,
good traits in Eamily, and good |
moral standards, and nothing
else. (Applause.) The necessi-
ty that he is under to get out |
and hustle, is an advantage that |
he does not appreciate, when he
is going through the process,
but after he has won success, |
and looks back and compares his
own life with that of the man, /,
who when he entered life, had |
money and means to support |
himself, and enjoy himself, will |
convince him of the fact. And |
the same thing is true with re-
gard to the young woman, who !
are given a fair chance in life |
of earning their own livelihood /
and carving out their own
futures; the trouble has been
that we hive not given the
young women a fair showing;
we have not@@opened out all the
avenues whereby she could win
success. am not a rabid suf-
fragist, the truth is | am not in
favor of suffrage for women,
and never will be until | have
been convinced they are the
ones who desire it, and when
they want it they will get it; but
do believe that one of the ad-
of giving them that
kind of influence will be more
certain means of opening the
avenues of self support to them,
than has heretofore been done.
The great weight of popular
opinion against it is that every
community assumes that it still
has enough men, to look after
its interests, and therefore,

Revival Continues.

The revival at the Christian
church, under the leadership of
Rev. j. w. McGarvey, Jr., is con-
tinuing with increasing interest.
Mr.. McGarvey's plain and master
ly style and his thorough knowl-
edge Of the Bible and of the Bible
countries make it a pleasure to
those who hear him.

o'clock evangelist will give his

be free to all and a large attend
ance is expected. A silver offer
ing will be taken at the close of
the services.
Mr.. McGarvey is a teacher of
unusual power, and the short
spirited services are inspiring and
instructive. Many who have felt
the influence of the skepticism of
the present age will find their
faith strengthened and their hearts
cheered by attending these meet
