THE DANGER OF REFORM.

Blankenburg and his followers will
be making the air redolent with
promises of reform One knowing
the true motives of such blatant fell
lows might well exclaim "Oh, re-
form, what sins are committed in
thy name" Whenever the cry Of
reform is raised one finds a vast
concourse of people who really
think that it means something gen.
uine. In point of fact ii is a fake
cry raised to deceive the people,
thinking that in this way a lot of
hungry fellows will get political
Job and lots of other fellows will be
brought into public notice, or else
die to fame and fortune unknown.

agree that there is too much law,
True, as long as it is necessary to
have rules for the conduct of the
members of civilized society, we
must have law, but we must have
bread to live and too much bread

by reformers; we mean those who
want to effect a reform, not par

MEHARRY NOTES.
Field Day at Greenwood Park.


Consequent upon announcement, the
Meharry Field Day, having for it's
object the augmenting of the George
w. Hubbard Hospital fund, was held
at Greenwood Park on Saturday, the
7th inst, under the auspices of the
Hubbard Hospital Committee, com.
mencing at 10 o'clock a. m. The
weather appearing unsettled during
the early hours of the morning, great
ar was entertained as to whether
or not the plans of the day would
marred, but despite this on the
approach of the appointed hour the
crowds were seen vending their wdv
to the park prepared to participate
in the pleasures which had been 50
skillfully planned for them. They
were not disappointed for the
weather proved to be of the desired
kind, the attractions were uniquely
grand and on the whole the result of
the day was very successful.
AS the program extended to late
hour OF the evening, few persons,
not knowing better, had begun to
wonder how could it be possible to
secure a timely meal, but it was not
long ere they found that their appe
tites had not been forgotten, and
that the caterers had provided for
even the most fastidious. At 2
o'clock in the afternoon the crowd
having perambulated the park and
seen it's various attractions, repaired
to the athletic field and occupied the
grand stand, ready to eXult in the
pleasures provided for this part Of
the day. The first event was a
practice game of cricket which was
played by foreign students Of Me-
harry. This being quite a novelty in
these parts, greatly aroused the in
crest of many Following this, the
crowd was treated to pleasure by
the students in running high jump,
pole vaulting a one mile relay race,
100 yard DASH a Shetland race, shot
cutting, an automobile race and
game of football which was played
between the students of Meharry
Colleges and those of Roger Williams
University, the former winning by
score Of II to 0.
At GAS in the amusement hall of
the park there was an exhibition OF
moving pictures, which was Of a very
interesting character and greatly in
terested the large number that at
tended. After this there was horse
show, followed by the distribution of
prizes. This being over the crowd
dispersed and repaired to their re-
spective homes delighted at having
spent day so pleasantly and in such
a worthy cause.

pastor of the church acted as
master OF ceremonies. The serv-
ices were very solemn and scarce
ly a person in the house could hold
back the tears at some time during
the services. The excellent life OF
the deceased was eulogized in an ap-
propriate way BETTING the character
Of the man. The emotions of the
large crowd attested to the esteem
ia which Or. Hsigler was held by the
people in this city.
AS pastor of St. John A. M. g.
rhurch he made an enviable reputa-
ton. He came here when the church
was at a very low ebb and by his
painstaking efforts he put new life
into and added many to the church.
AS a reward for his labors he was
promoted to the presiding eldership
by Bishop B. F. Lee, which position
he filled with credit till death ended
his career in this world.

MEHARRY's FIELD DAY.
Nashville Treated to a Rare Event
In Out Door Exercise.

More interest is now centered in
the efforts being put forth at the Me-
harry Medical College, which is
part of Walden University, where the
addition to the Hubbard Hospital is
being planned for completion, than
ever before because Of the splendid
field day, which was pulled off at
Greenwood Park last Saturday. The
Nashville people took holiday, The
city folks in large numbers surpassed
all expectations and turned out to
enjoy a real field day where exercises,
amusements and entertainments had
being provided for them. The reports
from the committee and the officials
declare that the venture was finan-
cial as we'll as a social success from
beginning to end Quite a number of
visitors were in the city and took
part in making this occasion splen-
did testimonial of the high esteem
that this institution has held in Nash
Vile Almost the entire student body
from the various departments was
present. The exact number that en-
tered the gate was not given out, but
it was estimated that several thousand
were on he ground during the day
and evening.

The Election.

The election is over. Democracy
has won decisive victory. The
odds were against them, but true to
her history. the City of Rocks" re-
mains safely in the Democratic
column
For the first time in many years a
Negro was elected to the City Coun-
Gill Mr. S. p Harris, the successful
colored candidate, is high-class gen.
tleman. He is a graduate of the law
department of the University of Mi
chigan and has for years been con-
nected with the National Baptist
Publishing House. Mr. Harris goes
into Office not as a politician but as
citizen competent to look after the
interest of his ward. No one need
entertain any uneasiness as to his be-
ing able to give a good account OF
himself, for he won his election be.
cause of his fitness rather than
choice.
The Negroes in this election were,
as has been the case for several
years, well divided, but large ma
jority were for the regular ticket.
They differed on the issues of the
day and they did so manly. They
never forgot that all are citizens OF
the same city and the interest of one
is the interest of all. Now the cleo.
ton is over If there has arisen al
any time a feeling of bitterness, let
all forget the incident and join hands
to make this city better for us all
to live in
This is a Globe victory We claim
1t because we won it, For two yeara
the regular democrats in this city
have been without mouthpiece.
Both daily papers were fighting them
but the Globe has stood as a flicker.
ing light and beacon of hope. We
have done so because we believed it
was right and we believe so now.
The Democrat came on the scene
just in time to perform the burial
ceremony, and she did the job to per-
lection. Mayor Howse owes it to the
people of this city to do his very best
to give them clean city and prove
to the world the absurdity of the
alarming statements that have beer
sent out from time to time in the
daily papers.

Editorial CLIPPINGS.

1t has always been a mystery why
apparently intelligent people, when
at concert or an entertainment of
any high order, will laugh and talk
while some singer or reader is try
ing to be heard. 1t is very ill-man-
nered and shows . lack of good
breeding. If the entertainment is
not to your liking, get up and go

fact, there is very little new that

The introduction of the railroad

have been cut down and the whole
world brought into more intimate

the more effective there were the
common or unwritten laws handed
down to us, created centuries ago,

Give a reformer a change and he
would legislate himself into heaven
and all other folks to Hades. To
listen at them, there would be no
necessity of the Church trying to

their garb could save. There would
be law which would prevent it all.

BEN JORDAN IS DEAD.
Topeka's Most Persistent Jofntfst

Ben Jordan died this afternoon at

He was 81 years old and was born a

Union army and came to Topeka in
1880. His name as a familiar one IN
Topeka for he has long held the rec

NO SIGN OF VERDICT.
The Jury Is Still Out in the Henwood
Murder Case

Denver, June 29.-No indications have
come from the room in which the Jury
that had heard the case against FRANK
Harold Henwood charged with the
murder of George E. Copeland. that
verdict has been reached. Before re-
firing last night the jury elected John
Baxter foreman. Baxter is a solicitor
for printing house is married and the
father of nine children. After return
ing from breakfast this morning the
jury Immediately proceeded to go OVER
the instructions of the court.
The case against HenwOOd charging
the murder of Sylvester L. Won Phul
was set this morning for July 5. The
trial of this case, however, depends
upon the outcome Of the present trial.
To an Associated Press representative
Henwood in his cell at the city Jail, ex-
pressed confidence in a verdict of ac-
quittal, not only, he said, because he
was innocent but because of what he
termed the slim testimony offered by
the prosecution.
Rumor to the effect that the jury
stood seven for conviction and five for
acquittal on the first ballot circula-
ted about the court room shortly before
noon, but the bailiffs declared that they
had no knowledge that a ballot had
been taken at all
At noon the jury filed out of the court
house and walked a dozen blocks to 4
down town restaurant for lunch.
The bailiffs announced that there
would be nothing doing at least until
o'clock when the presiding judge
would return from his lunch.
Pursuant to the advice of Judge
Whitford, the jury went to bed last
night Immediately after the case was
given over to it, and arose this morn
ing, went to breakfast and returned to
the jury room without having discuss
ed any of the evidence in the case.
Judge Whitford had been informed
that one of the jurors, an aged mar,
had almost been overcome by the heat
of the court room yesterday and he in
sisted that no deliberations on the evil
dence should be had until complete rest
and refres hment had come to the jury.
