UNCLE REMUS' TO BE
SUBJECT OF LECTURE
HARRIS CHARACTER TO Be
EXPLOITED AT Y. M. C. A.
Noted Speaker to Portray Dialect OF
Southern Negro and Philosophy
and Pathos In Sayings of
DarkieS

DR.. Henry stiles Bradley, lecturer
and southern orator, of st. Louis, Will
give popular and humorous lecture
entitled Uncle Remus' at the audi
torium of the Young Mems Christian
association tonight at o'clock.
Besides many readings illustrating
negro dialect and humor, DR.. Bradley
will give an appreciative study of the
writings of Joel chandler Harris
easily the foremost author of negro
dialect stories whom America has
produced.
No more sincere compliment could be
paid Dr. Bradley as an interpreter OF
the writings of Mr.. Harris than the
request he made for DR.. Bradley to
prepare a sketch of himself and his
writings for the Library of Southern
Literature" now in course of publica-
ton by DR.. Kent of the University OF
Virginia Mr. Harris made this re-
quest after ne had heard the Uncle
Remus" lecture, and had asked for
subsequent reading of the manuscript.
He and DR.. Bradley were raised III
Georgia and lived many years together
in Atlanta.
DR.. Bradley regards Mr.. Harris as
the most widely known author of the
past generation except Rudyard Kip
ling, and says his dialect stories OF
"Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox have been
translated INTO IlSdIIy dII ldllS uclSC
and are popular alike in Europe and
America The lecture takes its name
from the nom de plume under which
Harris wrote.
The genuine tyre of the southern
negro possessed a rare and unique hu-
NOR, which is presented with remark
able vividness in the Uncle Remus
stories as rendered by DR.. Bradley. He
also portrays the philosophy and pathos
Of many Of their sayings, and makes
ar evening of literary treat as we'll as
humor.
This lecture has been given dozen
times in both ST. Louis and Atlanta
and many times in other larges south
ern cities. Six lyceum bureaus have
made DR.. Bradley propositions for reg
ular platform enga gagements, which he
could not accept owing to his heavy
duties as pastor of St. Johns Meth
odist Episcopal church in St. Louis.
DR.. Bradley has many we'll known
lectures, but this is easily the most
popular. In the south. where the quail
ity Of negro humOr and pathos is
known. and DIR. Bradley is famous for
his recreation of the darky character
he is besieged with invitations to de-
liver s'JTncIe RemuS." DIR. Bradley de-
Hvered the bacca laureate address in
1907 at the University of Chicago and
has had other invitations for COM
mencement and literary addresses at
Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Mississippi
and other universities. This is the last
opportunity for the public to hear him.
The admission fee will be 25 cents and
an extra charge of 10 cents will be
made for reserve seats.

Financial Review

NEW YORK, Feb. 7-Speculation in
stocks was quiescent last week. and the pro-
fessional element moved with hesitation and
shifts from one side to the other in the
effort to test the market. A large share of
attention was given to the situation in the
metal markets and trades and the unsatis-
factory returns from those departments of
industry had much to do with the unsettIe-
ment of the speculative tone
There Is no further disguise of the disap-
pointment felt over the slow progress of
business in the iron and steel trades. De-
mand for finished products is meager and
price concessions the part of the minor
companies are absorbing most Of the bust
ness. There is a growing friction with the
larger interests who are attempting to main
tain prices.
of a reduction in prices under these circum-
stances and its probable effectiveness in re-
vivng demand. Buyers of steel products
cite the probable reduction Of duties to be
effected in the coming tariff revision as
promising to make for lower prices and
Withholding of orders is considered likely
until after the tariff is definitely outlined.
Railroads were reported to be scant buy
ers of steel products. In this connection
however, the incoming reports of railroad
earnings made a highly significant showing
in the detailed statement of operating ex-
penses under the form of report prescribed
by the interstate commerce commission.
The recall of an additional 100000 600 Of
government bonds from the depository banks
direct influence in hardening money
rates. Gold also continued to go out to
South America on London account and the
question kept open of a direct move
ment of gold for London.
Money conditions abroad, however sensi-
bly, relaxed with the settlement between
Turkey and Bulgaria and discount rates re-
ceded at all the great foreign money cen
ters The heavy demands for capital on the
London market have brought about some
congestion of issues and the effect is
seen in the depression Of gilt-edged securi-
ties and in the growing difficulty Of Notation
of new securities
The example serves as a warning Of pos
sible consequences of the steady stream Of
issues poured into the New York
market

"WHITE LIFE FOR TWO" IS
DISCUSSED BY FELLOWSHIP
Minister Blight Declares No Evil Is
Such That 1t Cannot Be
Stamped Out

"a White Life for Two was the
subject of an address by Reynold E.
Blight, minister of the Los Angeles
Fellowship, at Blanchard hall yester-
day morning. He said, in part:
"A white life means purity of per-
son, thought, speech, reading, purpose
and motive. We always like to believe
that all women are pure; the time has
come to declare for the purity of men.
We punish with an awful Judgment
the fall Of a woman; justice demands
that the same punishment be meted
out to the fallen men. The double
standard of virtue is curse"
Discussing the social evil the speak
er said: "There is no such thing as a
necessary evil; no evil is necessary.
If it is possible to segregate it is pos
Sible to stamp out Any kind of reg
ulation is official sanction that tends
to make it respectable and all the more
dangerous. There is no slum class
from which Outcast women may be
recruited. They come from our best
homes. No man should favor the
sanction of a segregated district until
he is willing that one of his relatives
should go there.
I'VE should treat the unfortunate
inmates of these dens of vice as erring
sisters who must be brought back to
the paths of virtue and noble woman
hood with the utmost kindness and
love. We must teach our young men
to keep their manhood untainted that
they should bring to the marriage altar
a body as clean, mind as sweet and
a soul as pure as does the trusting
bride; and that only a man lost to all
sense of decency and manhood would
offer to fair young woman a life that
has been dragged through the slime
of saloon and brothel
"Balzac said the greatest achieve
ment Of civilization is the chastity of
woman. Now let us go one step fur
ther and demand the chastity of man.

Pastor of First Congregational Church

Rev. William Horace Day, pastor of

declined to accept the presidency of
Pomona college. His answer was sent
Saturday in the following communica-
ton:
"To the Committee of the Board of
Trustees Of Pomona College:
"Gentlemen-No interest outside of
my own church ,has held the same place
in my heart as Pomona college. That
the men who compose the board of truS-
tees should ask me to take one of the
most strategic positions on this coast
has touched me profoundly, and the
task of considering this opening has
not been undertaken lightly. My clear
conviction is that I should not, at this
time, leave the pastorate. I believe IT
to be my duty to decline the call you
have so generously given me to become
president Of Pomona college. Yours
faithfully,

GIVES THIRTEENTH
ANNIVERSARY SERMON
REV. w. w. LOGAN REVIEWS
HISTORY OF CHURCH
Declares Congregation of First United
Presbyterian Church Ready to
Work for Cause of Civic
Righteousness

At the First United Presbyterian
church, Ninth and Figueroa streets,
the pastor, Rev. w. w. Logan, d. d.,
preached yesterday morning his thir-
teenth anniversary sermon as pastor
of that church, taking as a text Psalms
the right hand of the Most High" He
said, in part:
''That means the years Of true bles-
sing. These years of Gods right hand
may be years of outward, manifest
blessing. For most of US the lot has
been such that we do not have many
Of these to sing of and to celebrate.
"But they may be also years of dis
appointment and of apparent adver-
sity. There are many times when we
are ready to say, like Jacob of old:
"All these things are against me, .
when a little fuller understanding of
the events and their purposes would
have led US to say, "All things work
together for good unto me-"
"It is easy, too, to see that the years
when our prayers have been answered
are years of Gods right hand A
broader vision-a look backward
times when our prayers have been re-
fused.
But a look backward is valuable
only as it gives us wisdom and pur-
pose for the future.
Local Affairs Important
"We are coming to larger vision of
the duties of Christian citizenship.
We are coming to know that no ma
tional issue must belittle the impor-
tance of local affairs. Los Angeles is
in the midst of a great, revival of civic
righteousness. The people of this
church can be depended on to do their
part in advancing that revival
"Our backward glance, too, helps us
to get a clearer vision Of the true val
ues of life. 1t gives us a sight of the
real Importance of the individual and
of his salvation. We know more of the
blessedness of personal work than ever
before.
1--WE have as a congregation an hon
orable past, a splendid equipment, an
efficient working force. Let US go
forward to greater things

Trouble MAKING

Trouble making is an older industry than the
manufacture of steel. Cain, the trouble
maker. got into action before TubaI Cain, the
iron worker; and Eve got Adam into hot
water long before the boiler makers union
began business.
There are three brands of trouble-Imagin-
airy. borrowed and real.
Imaginary trouble consists of railroad acci-
dents, earthquakes, fires, suicides, diseases
like the patent medicine man makes, the poor
house, death and the grave, carefully mixed
and taken after late dinner, or a drop in the
stock market.
Borrowed trouble is the kind we get from our
relatives. Its principal ingredients are visits
borrowed money, birthday presents, advice
ana expectations. But the real article is pro-

Fifteen Dancinu Men

Because there were but fifteen young
men to dance at the coming out ball
of his daughter, Mr.. Henry c. Frick is
said to be about to shake the coal dust
Of Pittsburg from his feet forever. We
can hardly credit it. OF course, fifteen
partners" are hardly enough to make
a debutante and her throng of at
tendant young women uprOariOusly

a good sign this turnout was as to the
quality of Pittsburg manhood. Any
town of $4,000 inhabitants which will
sacrifice but fifteen young men to the
unbusinesslike life of teas, receptions
and dances must be made of stern stuff

DISC0URSES ON SEERESS
AND SAVIOR OF FRANCE
Pastor of Peoples SpirituaIist Church
Takes Joan of Arc as His
Subject

Rev. w F. Peck of the Peoples
Spiritualist church spoke Sunday
morning at Burbank hall upon Joan
of Arc the seeress and savior Of
France" He said. in part: Every
great epoch in history has been
marked by the occurrence of apparent
ly supernatural phenomena. Every
man or woman who has been the NOV
ing and central figure of these epochs
has been possessed of occult or psy-
chic powers-powers regarded as su-
pernatural.
From Abraham. the father of the
Jewish race. and Moses their emanci-
pator and lawgiver down to Andrew
Jackson Davis and the advent of mod
ern SpiritualiSm the rule holds good.
No atheist or materiahst ever created
an epoch in history or instituted a
great moral reform. Only those who
have recognized and obeyed the voice
of the spirit have been landmarks and
beacon lights along the path of the
worlds progress.

The question nat. urally arises at what time in the hts- tory of the American continent was the ship stranded in Clarke countys as the place of its discovery is some thing like one hundred miles from where the Gulf now is. Another thought is that 1t might have been so remote the mastodons were then in- habiting this country as they were dis covered together.
