LOS ANGELES STOCK EXCHANGE

The market is still on tho downward turn
The passing by the Home Telephone company
of It's quarterly dividend. due May l. had a
bad effect on the market OF the local exchange
Home Telephone preferred opened at S91s, sold
down rapidly to 35, at which price 1t seemed
to strengthen slightly and was in demand
The balance of the industrial and public
change and the bonds remained about the
same. Among the oil stocks Associated was
a light trader at Wednesdays quotations
Cleveland OIL was down considerably, as was
also some of the other issues. California
Midway opened up strong, but sold down 10
81. Union was slightly in demand. but not
particularly active The balance of the oil
list did not show much change. ,,
Among the mining stocks California Hills
held its own, and Johnnie was In demand
at IT,
Taken as a whole the market was not a
particularly active or bright one, and 1t
looks as IL prices would have to make
change before long If there would be any
large volume of trading.

The magnificent colleges, the splendid hos

benefit? The point that I make as, that there
as no Scripture for this, and that q0he1a a0e do

To incline the minds and hearts of his all-
dience against me, Ellis stated [ had been
educated by charitable friend at "a mission
school,.
It is shame that DR.. Broughton did not
correct that statement, for he knows it isn't
true.
My father paid for my tuition, until I went
to Mercer University, where [ received to the
extent of the tuition, ($12O) the benefit of
two terms-my board in the Mess Hall being
paid by my father.
There ac0s an unpaid balance of $50 due
the Steed Brothers for my tuition at the
Thomson High School; but [ paid this, my
self, with part of what [ earned, teaching,
during the College vacation Of 1874.
I was but sixteen years old, when the debt
was incurred by my father, and the Steeds
rather demurred to my paying it; but [ in
sisted that the benefit had accrued to me, and
that [ preferred to pay the debt.
Jesse Mercer did not found his glorious
University in Shanghai or Soochow, or Ha-
vanna-thank God He placed it among his
oa0n people, and thousands of Southern men
are better citizens because of it.
Alexander FL. Stephens was educated by
believers in Home Missions, and his work.
in educating poor boys, aoas confined to has
Oqo9e great q0hite race.
Thomas Jefferson didn't go to Mexico or
South America to establish the grand Uni
versity of Virginia. No: he placed it among
has 0ac1a people.
Reverently, I follow the example of Mercer
of Stephens, of Jefferson. Whatever it is in
me to do for the mental improvement of my
fellowman, shall be done for mig oa0n flesh
and blood.
To the heather [ will send no more than
Christ commanded the Word of God, the
law of Jesus Christ and Him crucifed.
Ellis read letters to prove that no mission
aries had given up in despair. I quoted
from the Los Angeles Times, the interview
of DR.. Ernest III. Bach. He was reported as
saying that he had quit, and he named sew
eral Others
How can you place any confidence in what
Ellis says on this point, after having learned
how untruthful he was about the Elsie Siegel
case, and about my having had "the brazen
effrontery" to repeat charge, which you
know [ did not make, and could not 'repeat''?
At the time when poor Elsies body was
found in her "convert's' trunk, nobody de-
MED that she was missionary At Macon,
Ellis did so. [ dared him to 90 over to New

that same language in Crawfordville, Indiana,
where Wakefield had gone to lecture. Mr..
Bowers declares that that statement aoas made
an Wakefezd's room, by Wakefield, and taken

(Rev. Walter Many and his wife, declare
that Wakefield did not make that statement,

denied ever having made a1oy charge, upon
my own knowledge about any of their do
ings in the mission work. MY FACTS ARE
TAKEN FROM THEIR OWN PUBL
CATIONS.
AS to the missionaries who are ruined in
their work, | quoted what Wakefield had
said at Crawfordville, towit: "That the
missionaries had long h'ooa0m Of the coase-
Quemces Of individual instruction, and a0ere
not at all surprised Ohe11 they learned of Ez-
SIC Siegels tragic fote."
Mrs. Many repeated that statement over
l.
of the Crawfordville RevieqC. Wakefield,
himself, made the statement to Mr.. Bowers,
the reporter of the Crawfordville Journal.
Upon this statement [ based an editorial:
"Whdt We Missionaries Concealed"
Mr.. Ellis says that [ cannot know any
thing about ''the kind of poverty" that ex-
lists in the Orient: he says that he has seen
two million Chinese suffering on the ground,
bowling for help. If you will pause mo-
ment to calculate what kind of crowd two
million people would make, you will begin
to have very serious doubts as to whether Mr..
Ellis is capable of telling the truth about
any earthly subj ect That there is poverty
in China, no one can doubt, but we are not
responsible for the poor people of foreign
countries certainly not until we have first
provided for those of our own national
household. In this country we have "kind
of poverty that puts men and women to
death, and [ don't know what more Oriental
poverty can do. In our mining regions, in
the poorer wards of our citles among our
country laboring people, among the wage
earners of the big cities, there is a squalor
and suffering that is indescribable, and if
there is a spectacle more pitiable than that
of the homeless, friendless, ragged, money
less hungry American men, women and
children, my imagination cannot conceive it.
[ have never contended that what we did
for the foreigner is of no benefit to him. It
is not necessary to introduce Mr.. Bryan, Mr..
Roosevelt, Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Carpenter, Mr.. Ellis
to prove what I have freely admitted all the
time. No sane man would deny that free
