The address OF Rabbi Abraham
Simon at the Southern Religious
Training school Wednesday evening
was heard by large audience. a
part OF which was composed OF white
people.
The speaker was very appropriate
ly introduced by DR.. j. u. Shepperd.
The rabbi chose as his subject IA
Blade Of Grass His message was
one Of good cheer aud optimism from
start 10 finish.
"rhe story OF the blade OF grass :
was very pretty little narrative OF a
simple sprig that grew MP unpreten-
tiomsly by rose and had TO stand
the supereilIons and patronizing air
OF the rose day by day. II was with
out odor. without fruit. without
beauty and by the rose 1t seemed in
consequential. Tracing the story In
the light OF the beginning OF the cos
mos. he BROUGHT the blade finally to
the most useful service to mankind,
made Il lord paramount In this king
dom and the application 10 the race
was quite easy The lessons that he
thought the blade taught were four
and TO each subhead he gave few
ransences OF the most practicable
philosophy.
The nrst lesson IL life. the ever
green. indesgructlhle element that II
has. llesnnoted 81. Paul and Jesus
as typet Of phllosophles who believed
in the blade Of grass and taught In
pictures drawn from the fields. II
pcrsonlfies the lifc 10 come AZ well as
that whicil IL now here The blade
10 thu great democrat Of nature. the
cosmopolitan character of the yege-
table world II IL Industry persona
lied. crush Il, I, springs up. Il cannot
be Kept down II does more work
than anybody.
Etteaches lesson Of beauty and
all beauty is opposed to ngliness IN
whatever snIse Il may be found Tn
sightilness IN morals is made more
hsdrsus by love Of the beautiful In
nature.
The last and greatest lesson from
the siory Of the blade OF grass is that
OF service. ~ Hnbinerges Itself com
pistely. loses tho personal equation
entirely In is willingness 10 be made
into things that serve humanity. II
feeds animals that ciothe and feeds
man. II Is made into mating, into
varied articles. gives itself complete

Tho speaker preached the gospel
Of fresh air. Of conservation OF pure
cihcr He appealed TO his hearers 70
put ~ in The industry and industry
IN their JOY. The doctrine OF service
can be preached 10 every race and
color.
After the address. the rabbi was
taken 10 the homo Of NJ. Sheyel.
where the members Of the B'nai
Birth gave a delighted banquet In
bis honor. The leading members OF
the Hebrew colony here we're pres
ent and very pleasant evening was
spent.
The rabbi also spoke At the syna-
goEuc Wednesday afternoon. He
was guest Of the Hebrews during
hts entire visit and his visit was
very ENJOYABLE 10 him As well as the
people Of Durham.
The rabbi went 10 Greensboro this
morning. where he addresses the col
ored people this evening.

TRUE TO MINNESOTA
Will Distribute $4,000 Copies Of
:: Handsome Booklet Extolling
y Merits of the State.
Tells All About Our Industries,
Resources, Climate; Products,
Schools, Lands, etc.

ST. PAUL, Aug. s.-(Special to La
Dor World. 1.-The Northern Pacific
railway has just issued a new booklet
under the title of What Minnesota
Wants to Tell You" It consists Of 40
pages and cover, and carries illustra-
tions of the various products. Chap
ters on Minnesota cities, her indus
tries, resources, climate, university,
schools and summer resorts, are all
covered with terse convincing text,
and there is a special chapter about
the state fair, another one about the
public lands in the state, and still an
other, in regard to homestead lands.
Fifty thousand copies Of the booklet
will be distributed this fall at the
various land expositions from the
Northern Pacif1c's Minnesota exhibit
car. and through the numerous agen-
cies of the company.
The booklet has been made a con-
venient pocket size, since experience
has proven to the Northern Pacific
people that the public will retain and
carry away with them a booklet
which can be slipped into the pocket
to a much greater extent than they
will carry away large cumbersome
pamphlet. The Northern Pacific took
the initiative something over a year
ago in the issuance of these pocket
size pamphlets about the Northwest,
and this one in regard to Minnesota
will form one of the series. It will
be regularly maintained as a standard
publication and re-issued as is neces-
sary to supply the demands for it. It
is expected that another edition will
! be- required this fall to the extent OF
$4,000 or 100000 copies. .

Justice Wright Apparently Bent
on Administering Summary Pun
ishment to Labor Officials.
LABOR LEADERS INSIST
UPON THEIR RIGHTS
LET Them Go AS Far As They.
Like Expression Has Not
Been Qualified Since Made.

WASHINGTON, Aug. "a rumor
which apparently will not down is to
the effect that President Gompers,
Secretary Morrison and Vice Presi-
dent John Mitchell will be haled into
court shortly by Justice Wright, Of
the supreme court of the District of
Columbia, in response to a demand
made by the investigating committee
to tho court. 1t will be remembered
that the defendants were cited to ap-
pear in court and show cause why
they should not be geld in contempt.
Numerous motions were filed by at
torneys for the defendants, all Of
which were overrudel, and, as a last
move in the case, a plea of mot gull
ty'' was offered. The plea was taken
under advisement by the court and an
adjournment had, ostensibly for the
purpose of the prosecution filing an
answer to the plea. One of the mo-
tions made by the defendants was that
the prosecuting committee be dis
charged on account of bias and Dis
trict Attorney Wilson substituted
therefor. Justice Wright disposed Of
this motion by the addition Of the
and he has accepted the commission
as an Individual. It has been stated
in the public press that the defend
ants are to be brought into court
Monday, July 81. and that the COM
mittee in charge Of the prosecution
will ask summary judgment, or that
q motion will be made to strike out
the plea of mot guilty" and require
an answer under oath. There is no
Disgusting the fact that Justice Wright
seems particularly bent on Furnishing
these men by imprisonment or heavy
penalty. Every Inoveme ent~ made on
the bench, the disposition of every
motion and the courts general atti.
tude speaks plainly Of his apparent
intent. President Gompers stated at
the time that the committee was ap-
pointed, in answer to q question:
LET them go as far as they like. "
1t appears at this time that the court
is likely to 20 all the way. r."

they were fighting for cause; they

man, the right of a man to own
himself and the right of man to-

from Eastern Europe, lured by prom

found slavery and starvation await

on starvation allowances. The union
