EVENING CHAT
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

My hand to the man or woman who
knows when to admit ignorance.
Among group of us the other day
was young man who, though an ex-
cepttonally ambitious and knowledge
loving person, has not had great edu-
cational advantages. In the course of
the conversation someore used the
word deterrent in speaking to him.
Don't you find that rather c deterrent
in your work. Mr.. W.
A puzzled look fitted over his face.
Evidently it was a new one to him.
Nine men out of ten, seeing that the
question plainly expected an affirma-
tive answer. would have CHANGED 1t
and said, Yes, 1 do" or some similar
bluff.
He, being a one-in-ten man, hest
tated but an instant, and then said
frankly, "I don't think I know just
what deterrent means"
don't know what the rest thought,
but I'm sure for myself, that I never
admired him so much as at that mo-
ment
OF course, someone promptly defined
deterrent" so now he does know
what it means.
That's the difference between him
and tia other nine. They would not
have known the next time the word
came UP and would have had to bluff
again.
By confessing his ignorance he put
an end to it.
BY hiding theirs. they gave it new
lease of life.
Learn to say 7 don't know my
boy" is as needful a command, in its
way, as Learn to say nc"
In the course of conversation things
are frequently said. explanations given,
references made, information con-
veyed that we do not fully understand
the first time.

to pretend toy have understood; to say,
"Oh, yes, 1 see," when, like the blind
man, we didn't see at ALL
That's the easiest way, of course.
But for the man who wants his
mind to grow, it's the wrong way.
For not only does he lose the infor-
nation, but he atrophies his mind
muscles by not insisting that they shall
grasp everything that's said.
1t seems so simple to say, Pardon
me, but 1 don't quite understand that, -
and most people have enough of the
didactic in them not to mind repeating
a thing if they can feel they are in
structing someone.
1t seems almost wrong to me to al
low ones self to read and pass by a
paragraph in a book without under
standing it. 1t seems to me that 1t Is
and read 1t until one does understand d.
You all know the old Arabian pro-
verb:
HE who knows, and knows that he
knows. is wise-follow him.
He who knows, and knows not that
he knows, is asleep-wake him.
He who knows not, and knows that
he knows not, is simple-teach him.
He who knows not, and knows not
that he knows not, Is a fool-shun
him"
For present purposes I should like
to temporarily amend the last two lines
of that. to:
HE who knows not, and won't
| admit that he knows not, is a fool
shun him.
He who knows not, and won't admit
that he knows not, is a fool-shun
him."

ROUNDS up AUTOISTS.
Must Light Up and Observe Rules or
Get Into Trouble.

The police have begun a campaign
10 light all the automobile rear lights
IN the city. Their first roundup
held last night netted them 81 num-
hers and that number of drivers are
que for a hearing at the police court
today. -
In only one case was the driver TAX
on into custody on the spot and that
unfortunate was E. G. Kistler, who
naid a fine of SO at the police court
fhis morning, the only one paid so
far. This little fine, however, served

ciared that he himself, acting on the
complaint of many automobile men,
mad personally conducted the vigil
ance for missing "rears" and had TAX
en- six numbers himself.
According to a few Of the drivers
.ummoned to the police station, the
business of lighting these rear lamps
s~11ounts to the same thing as boy
colt on the baseball game today. They

home today and these fans are sore
they want to go to the game just thai
bad.
While at the police station on the
automobile business, Mayor Billiard
took occasion to tell the jailer, who
orders meals for the prisoners, to feed
any poor who might apply for food.
1.-THE Provident association down here,
il seems to me, is too fintcky about
work for the meal first, and when
one is hungry he cannot very we'll
work. Their theory is good one per-
haps and they try to avoid feeding the
these people should go hungry and L
want you to give them something to
eat,' said the mayor.
william Jacobs, an out-of-town Wis
itor who has been moving yards in
North Topeka for the ladieS-of-the
house, is in the city Jail charged with
out-financing his occupation. The
ladies' complain that he takes too much
money and the last one says she let
forgot to bring back the $3.50. Be
sides that he is said to be the man
who left a flour scoop and two
wrenches at residence saying he
would come back to get them. Jacobs
says he knows nothing about the mill
hands tools.
Mary Floyd, a negress who causes
the police and her neighbors a whole
lot of trouble, cut a seven-stitch cash
in the biceps of David Beasely last
night about 1880 o'clock. The Of
ficers discovered the man and woman
in the street at the corner of
First and Monroe. Bease1y had been
able to get no weapon but an old iron
barrel hoop. With this he fought off

SPEEDING AUTo HITS POST.
MOtorman Thinks His Car Wreck
Jams ON Brakes, Hurts Passengers.

New York. June 3-Six men were in
jured early today when an automobile,
racing down a boulevard in the upper
Bronx, crashed into an elevated rail-
way pillar and was wrecked.
Two of the injured will die.
The party had rented the machine
and were on their way homeward af-
ter IL hour sight seeing trip. All six
were thrown out when their car hit
the pillar and were picked up uncon-
scious by policemen and ambulance
surgeons. At the time of the accident
train was pulling into the IT, sta
ton overhead. The crash Of the au-
tomobile against the pillar shook the
train and the sound of smashing iron
and wood could be heard above the roar
of the cars. The motorman thinking
the accident was on his train, jammed
the emergency brake on and stopped so
suddenly that his passengers were
thrown out Of their seats.

Some of the negro women of the
state have gone into the suffrage
campaign for the purpose of working
among the men of their race for the
ballot. The negro vote was against
the amendment when it was up to the
people before, and in the coming
campaign, the managers of the suf-
frage league are delighted that the
negro women will cooperate with
them in securing the vote of the coll
cred population. Douglas county has
organized its own league, and meet
ing of the Shawnee county negro wo-
men will be held soon. They will
have their own officers and their own
organization, and they will follow out
their own ideas and plans in making
their campaign. The work will be
In their hands, and they will have the
credit of success or the responsibility
of failure, If they turn or fail to turn
the vote of the men of their race to
the granting of the full elective
franchise to the women of the state.
In New York a mass meeting of
negro men and women was held re-
Gently. The meeting was addressed
by Mrs. Ella Cossett, president of the
State Suffrage association, and Mrs.
o. H. P. Belmont. The negroes were
represented by Mrs. Irene Norman,
president of the Negro Woman's Bust
ness league of Brooklyn.

New Orleans Futures

New Orleans, Nov. 4.-Cotton fu-
lures opened at a decline of to 5
points. Cables were Indifferent
Brokers had few orders to fill, but
longs seemed to desire to even up over
the weekend and their offerings were
smore than the ring could absorb, and
= prices were held down in the early
strading in the face of a none too good
weather map and prospects of unset
tied weather over Sunday. While the
weather was warmer over the cotton
region, it was cloudy with more or
less rain. At the end of the first half
hour of business prices were to 5
points under yesterdays close.
Towards the middle of the morning
selling by longs subsidized and the
market steadied up. A moderate
ssamount of short covering supplied suf-
ficent demand to give prices a rising
tendency and late in the morning
prices were l point up to point down
compared With yesterdays final quota
tions. The market was stimulated to
{ some extent by the rumor that ocean
freight rates were to be advanced as
the result of good demand for cot
8 ton room for November sailing.

IS
ALMOST SOLID
LEADING. DEMOCRATS SAY THAT
THE STATES DELEGATION WILL
VOTE FOR WOODROW WILSON.

The Los Angeles Tribune prints the
following:
Woodrow Wilson, governor of New
Jersey and candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for the presidency
IN 1912, will receive the solid vote of
the California delegation to the ma
tional Democratic convention next
year At least that appears to be the
conviction of the leading Democrats
Of Los Angeles, and they claim there
is not the slightest doubt of the Cal
ifornia support of the former president
Of Princeton university.
Inc sentiment among the rank and
file Of the California Democrats has
been strongly pro- Wilson, but until
recently there has been some question
as to the attitude of some of the
leaders of the party in the north. Now
it is said Wilson will have no opposi-
ton in the California delegation.
The Wilson sentiment in the state
has grown at tremendous rate, al
though there has been no organized
booming of his candidacy However,
Wilson clubs have sprung up all over
the state, and the Woodrow Wilson
club of Los Angeles is one of the
strongest yet organized.

EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
MEETSDEC. 20
PROGRAM OFFERS MANY At
FRACTIONS TO THE TEACHERS
OF FLORiDA-LAWTON EVANS
OF AUGUSTA TO LECTURE.
Special TO the Journal.

Jacksonville, Nov. 4-The program
OF the Florida Educational Association
offers many attractions to Florida
teachers and of special interest is the
announcement that Superintendent
Lawton b. Evans, of Augusta Ga, has
been secured as lecturer for the &C.
casion. He will deliver three lectures.
The first Thursday morning, Deem
Der 2Sth, Some Problems of the Near
Future" sounds a good note for the
opening of the series. This lecture
will be given during November before
the City superintendent Convention
of Alabama, and all public school
teachers everywhere might well hear
it. The second Thursday night will be
somewhat of a popular nature and
yet strike at the very heart of the
teachers interest. It is called 1.-The
Paradise of Childhood" The last on
Friday morning will keep the interest
of his audience till the end; it's title
is What We Owe to the Children"
Superintendent Evans, A. NJ, of the
University of Georgia, has been at the
head of the public schools of Augusta
for nearly thirty years-probably the
longest record of continuous service in
one place of any superintendent in the
south. He is the author of several
books. Among them Lectures on
School Supervision" "The Essential
Facts of American History" THE
First Lessons in American History
Elementary Language Lessons and
English Grammar" One of his his
tories was recently adopted by the
state text book commission for use
in the Florida schools.
He is a member of the permanent
faculty of the Knoxville Summer
School of the South, where his classes
are well attended, his lectures being
among the most popular at that insti-
tuition. A lecturer of many years
standing, he has been recommended
by prominent superintendent from
several southern states. We may well
welcome a lecturer who has taken part
in the programs of nearly all the edu
cational conventions and state teach
ers' associations of the country. He
is forty-eight years of age and in
the full vigor of educational work
and enthusiasm.
