Senator Percy on the Floor.

Senator Percy made speech on
the floor of Congress against the
adoption of the federal measure for
the direct election of senators.
Senator Sutherland, of Utah, wants
the bill to amend the Constitution.
so amended as to place the election
of members of the senate under
federal control. Senator Percy de-
clared that while Mississippi and
the other southern states want to
see the election of senators by pop
ular vote, the South could not
afford to purchase the privilege at
the very great price fixed by the
Sutherland amendment. or in other
words, the South wants no repeti-
tion of force bill history.
In his argument Senator Percy
referred to the South's objection
to the oppressive federal election
laws, and to the so-calIed force
bill, which failed to pass the Sem
ate, and under which it was said "a
bayonet would be put behind every
ballot, = and wound up with the fol-
lowing percration:
Such az tation here would raise
a sectional question upon which
the South would find herself con-
fronted, with past differences for
gotten, by the balance of this union
in solid phalanx. In a hopeless
minority. shorn of her influence,
she would be helpless in the cpun-
ellis of this nation. and at home
agitation for the repeal of the fif-
teenth amendment would be the
golden opportunity for the dema-
gogue. the restless strife breeder,
who would win brief popularity by
appealing to race passion and to
race hatred. by such appeals em-
bittering the relationship between
those two races. which under the
fiat of Almighty God, for veal or
for woe, must work out their fate
on Southern soil. Speaking for
my own State. and believe for
the South. she is seeking to solve
or to handle the race problem. the
greatest that ever confronted the
Anglo Saxon race. in honesty, in
justice, with Infinite patience. with
infinite charity towards the inferior
race. under her own constitution
and laws. the wisdom Of which has
been vindicated by the unparalleled
prosperity that has come to both
races since their adoption. and the
validity of which has been upheld
BY the supreme court Of the United
States. f"

really wonderful reports of cures brought

THE DANGER OF
RHEUMATTSM

The danger of Rheumatism is
In temporizing in the treatment, or
failing to realize the powerful nature
of the trouble. If the blood is allowed
to remain infected with uric acid,
Rheumatism soon becomes chronic,
and then if not checked it sometimes
makes complete physical wrecks of
its victims by permanently stiffening
the Joints and seriously interfering
with the bodily nerve force. Exter-
nal applications will often Temporal
ri1y relieve Rheumatic pains, but do
not reach the blood, where the cause
is located, and to depend entirely
upon such treatment is very dan
perous thing to do. S. S. S. cures
Rheumatism by removing every par
tic1e of the cause and purifying the
blood. 1t filters out of the circulation
every trace of the sour, infammatory
matter, cools the acid-heated nerves,
causes a natural and healthy nourish-
ment through the blood to all
muscles, joints and bones, and per-
fect1y cures Rheumatism in all its
forms. S. S. S. does this great work
because it is the greatest of all blood
purifiers, acting directly on the
source of disease. Our special book
on Rheumatism and any medical ad-
vice will sent free to all who write.
S. S. S. is for sale at drug stores.

Prof. w. H. Johnson, Miss Alma
Marley of Junction City, Miss Leila
Miss Alberta L. Corbin of the univer-
sity spoke in the interests of the new

The rousing yells of the institution
were given frequently in the course of
the meeting
Nearly 200 alumni and former stud
erts Of Baker university attended the
banquet given by the school at the
First congregational church last even
ing. Professor o. G. Markham, dean
ter. Wilbur R. Mason, the new presi-
dent. in his talk said that Eaker was
making him over and that although he
was not q graduate of the school he
felt that he was Baker man. He en-
phasiZed the fact that the subtle
something" an institution put into the
life Of a student and made life better than
it would otherwise have been, made the
school worth while. &c claimed this
for Baker.
John Macdonald told that in his Is
years of experience grading teachers
papers, he had never looked over a
poor paper from a Baker student.
