in Fremont, Sunday, April "a.
The Union Sunday school was at
the Baptist church at 10 a. m. There
were one hundred eighty three pres
ent and the collection was $5.4S.
After the study period in the classes
the school was scalled, tdgether and
w. A. Work of Ottumwa reviewed
the lesson. His remarks were very
timely and appreciated by all. Owing
to the inclemency of the weather the
schools outside of town were not
well represented.
| Following the Sunday school an in
teresting address was kiyen by Rev.
/ C. M. Thomas, of the Christian
church, on The Duty Every Chris
tan Owes the Sunday School," He
made it quite plain that it was the
duty of every Christian to be men,
Der of the Sunday school; and espe-
cially for Christian parents to go
with their children.
The afternoon session was held in
the Christian church at 1870 p. m.
Rev. Geo. Filmer of the M. L. church
led the devotional service. The first
subject taken up was The Training
of the Teacher" 1t was introduced
by Rev. Edmund Brown of the Bap-
fist church. He said the people were
very particular about selecting well
trained teachers for the public
schools, then why should not the
church demand that we have trained
teachers in the Sunday school?
Which is more mportant,-intel-
lectual welfare or spiritual welfare?"
w. E. Dawson and others followed
in the general discussion. Many
good points were brought out, which
If put into practical use would result
in the betterment of our schools.
who Is Responsible for the Sue
cess or Failure of the Bible SCHOOL,"
was introduced by Rev. Geo. Filmer.
The point that he emphasized was
that the Christian homes were the
most responsible. o. N. Yeoman and
Nelly Martin followed in the general
Winning Boys" was the next sub
ject. We were much disappointed
that +. l.. Gordon of Oskalooss, who
was to have talked on this subject,
could not be present. His place was
ably filled by Clark Terrell of Oska-
loosa. who thought it of as much i'm
p0rtance to win the girls as the boys.
What Constitutes a Well Organ
MGd Sunday School," was to have
been led by Mrs. Clark Terrell and
Miss Mabel Cochran, but neither be-
inS present. W. A. Work told of his
Baraca Class of the NJ. E. Sunday
school in Ottumwa, and of its growth
from a membership of eight to one
hundred. . .''tt o. s~H+
/ The evening service was held In
the NJ. E. church. The Union Young
Peoples meeting was at $50 p. M.
led by Rev. c. NJ. Thomas.
The address of the evening was
given by w. A. Work. His remarks
were mostly along the line of or
sanized classes, and the strength and
benefit the Sunday school derived
| from them.
Clark Terrell gave a brief talk, tell
ing of the International convention
at Louisville, Ky.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year: J. A. BaitselI,
president; w. E. Dawson. vice presi.
dent; Mrs. Madge Fell, secretary and

the Mexican ambassador; Secre-
tary of State Knox and John Barrett,
director of the bureau, who was in
charge of the ceremonies. Prayers
were delivered by Cardinal Gibbons
and by clergyman of the Protestant
faith.
OF course all the members of the
diplomatic corps who were in the city
were present, and those brilliantly
uniformed gentlemen, together with
scores of ladies in their beautiful
spring costumes, made the scene most
picturesque.
Big Reception This Evening.
Nearly everybody in Washington
wanted to attend the dedication cere-
monies, but the hall of ambassador"
seats only 500 people So Mr.. Bar
rett arranged for a reception in the
evening In honor of President and Mrs
Taft and Mr.. and Mrs. Carnegie In,
vitations were sent to members of the
diplomatic corps and to official and
resident society, and the reception
is expected to be one of the most
brilliant affairs of the season. The
Marine band will be there, playing a
repertoire Of Latin-American anthems,
a fountain outside the building will
be illuminated with electric designs Of
the South and Central American coun-
tries, and elaborate refreshments will
be served.
Meant for Palace of Peace.
The opening of the new home of the
International Bureau of the American
Republics not only adds a most impor.
tant and surprisingly beautiful struc-
ture to the public buildings at Uncle
Sans seat Of government, but gives
added dignity and prominence to an
institution Of significance throughout
the world, and especially in the new
world. The new building is notable,
priL.arily as the home of that rapid.

meaning in its avowed function as a

afoot to erect a permanent home for

different republics were to contribute
in proportion to population as they do

tuition. Several Of the South Amer.

and there was something like $50, 900
on hand when the congress OF the

The Washington bee., 1910-09-24
A NATIONAL FARCE.

The greatest farce IN this cOun-
try is the prohibition movement.
The prohibition agitatOrs are a
set of hypOcrites. The pretense
of these agitatOrs is that whisky
destroys the human system.
Which is the greater harm to the
human body, prohibition or the
shotgun, which is being used with
out discretion upon the human
body of innocent and inOffensive
colored citizens?
IF these sO-called refOrmers
would see to it that human life.
liberty and property were pro-
tected, then The Bee, as well as
the people, would have some faith
in these agitatOrs. 1t is fact
that cannot be contradicted, that
a man who tells his hearers in
a speech that he neither smokes,
chews tobacco nor drinks whisky
is the greatest enemy to the hu-
man family. Female virtue Is
below par, so far as he is concern
ed. Rules generally have eXcep-
tiOns, but this is a rule without
an exception. Why denOunce the
saloons! They don't do any harm
in a community. If man drinks
whisky, beer, gin or any other in
toxicants, it is his business. There
are some ProhibitiOnists who
drink more whisky and other in
toxicants than those who dispense
them. Prohibitionists don't give
cent for human life when it is
destroyed by a shotgun or being
burned at the stake. The social
ed Prohibitionists, in conjunction
with the sO-called insurgents, de-
feated Congressman BOutell, OF
Illinois. The opposition against
him was hypocritical, and nothing
more.
The Bee believes that if he runs
upon an independent ticket he will
be elected. Prohibition and It's
agitators are hypocritical and
National farce.
