WALKERS ADDRESS.
The Gemai Principal Gives Good Ad-
vice TO the Teachers.

An urgent appeal to principals and
teachers to impress upon their pupils
the spirit of fair play in the public
schools formed the basis of the ad-
dress of Supervising Principal James
Z. Walker, president of the Public
Schools Athletic League, at the an
nual meeting of that body at the NJ
Street High School few days ago.
The one great thing | want to
bring to your attention is the sub
ject of competition" said the speaker.
IF the spirit of fair play is lacking,
| would say not to have competitions.
Competitions under such circumstan-
CeS are at too great a sacrifice, and
our object is not TO develop a few
but TO reach every boy and girl of
the schools Everybody likes a win
ner and everybody likes TO win. But
when you want to know the heart and
manhood of person or a child, watch
feated child or this defeated man takes
his defeat properly, you are bound
70 have in him winner some day.
would admOnish you therefore, to
impress upon your children in their
games the great lesson OF ta1r play
And remember that victory is no
great matter and defeat is less; the
essential thing in sport is the manly
striving to excel and the good feeling
it fosters between those who play
fair and have no excuses when they
ose.'"
Z. B. Henderson, secretary of the
league, submitted his report and urg-
ed the members to encourage games
within the school between classes
rather than between classes of differ
ent schOls. Another new feature
which the secretary expects to intro
duce is the matter of athletic badge
competition.
The election of officers resulted in
the following selection: President,
]. E. Walker, reelected; vice presi-
dent, Miss E, A. Chase; secretary, E.
b. Henderson. reelected; treasurer,
Miss A. f. Thompson.
The following were elected to the
executive board: Miss NJ. E. Gibbs,

NAPOLEON MARSHALL
Would Not Refuse the Assistant Su-

Schools.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3-Napoieon
Marshall, who is "sojourning" here.
is not aversed to accepting the po-
sltlon of Assistant Superintendent of
the Washington public schools. In
discussing the names suggested as
successor to Roscoe Bruce, in the
event the colored members of the
board succeeded in having him drop
ped, Mr. Marshall, a la William len
ningS Bryan, picked flaws in the avail
ability of every person suggested.
But when it was suggested that he
would make good man, he smiled
an admission, but said that he was
too modest to press his own candi-
dacy, but that his friends thought he
would be the proper man, and init
mated he would be willing to rest
his prospects in the hands of his
friends. AS to what per cent of the
Washington parents are his friends"

thing to see some of our cOlored min

smoke behind them one would think
that an automobile or a fire engine

disgrace themselves but their brazen

crowd of people coming out of one
OF the prominent churches here: and

looking souls leaving the house Of
the Lord after having celebrated the
death and suffering Of our Lord and
Saviour But by and by we looked
and beheld yOnder the minister or the
shepherd of the flock, coming up the
street smoking a cigar! The thought
came to me. OH what little did the
cOmmemOratiOn of the blood and
broken body of the Lowly Nazarene
have upon that fellow. He seems to
care no more about it than if he had
just attended a funeral Of some one
in the lowest walks of life So you
can see, dear readers of The Bee,
that a reform is badly needed in the
cOlOred Dulpits in Washington No
wonder they should tell their hearers
not TO do as they do-but do what
they say do. For if you follow in
the foot steps of some of the sport
ing preachers in this city you will
be lOst-lOst to all eternity
There IS no class of sinners that
needs have sermon preached to

ties) annually more so than the col

treatment, and thought If I could use

FLAX IS PROFITABLE
Wonderful Paying Proposition In
Western Canadian Prairies.

So much Is heard of the wheat, oats
and barley grown in the prairie lands
of western Canada, and so much has
been told of the wealth to be made
out Of the raising Of cattle on
the succulent and rich grasses
Of those fertile plains, that a
most important product has been al
most lost sight Of, Flax. Recent press
reports advise us that on one Of the
last boats to clear from Fort William
Cat the head of Lake Superior) for
Buffalo, there were 241 900 bushels Of
fax valued at $3.50, 220, and on another
boat leaving the same day there were
2SS, 900 bushels valued at $720, 900.
There has been a big demand for Ca
madam fax this season, and the lake
movement has been very heavy. Flax
is always a sure crop, and gives to
the farmer who is anxious for quick
return after getting on his land, the
chance he Is looking for. There Is
opportunity for thousands yet, on the
free homesteads of 100 acres, and
many of these are available within
short distance Of the lines of railway
that are already built or under con
struction, either on the main line or
branches. Besides these free grant
lands there is an opportunity to pur.
chase from railway and land com
panies at reasonable prices.
The display Of western Canada's
grains in the straw as we'll as
threshed grains and grasses recently
made at st. Louis was an excellent
demonstration of what the country can
do. 1t proved splendid as an illustration
Of the Of that vast prairie
country, which during the past year
has again proven its ability to pro-
duce excellent yields of wheat, oats
and barley-and flax. Not only this,
but the splendid herds Of cattle are
a source of large revenue. There is
a fund Of information to be had by
reading the Canadian government lit
erature. copies of which may be had
free by applying to your nearest Ca
madam government agent.

drifted around to queer people one
meets. She was travelling with her
grown son, whom ! had met in the
smoking compartment, and later on
! got talking with the old lady. She
spoke of several people she knew
here in Cleveland.
Did you ever happen to know
James II. ~Soandso?" | asked her
casually, judging from something she
had said that she did know him.
she gave me a strange sort of a
look. Well she replied, 1 don't
know whether to say | know that
man or not. He's a queer sort, you
understandable kind of a man that
nobody really knows. Why, | was
married to James Soandso. and lived
with him for four years, but ! never
felt that ! was really acquainted with
him.
And the funny part Of It," added
MCGannon, was the was in
deadly earnest about 1t. She didn't

any comedy at all."-Cleveland Flain
