INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH
FOR COLOREO PEOPLE

The lecture last evening upon the
Daring Charge of the Black Regi-
ment." by Evangelist Mcpherson be-
fore a large and enthusiastic audience
at Blackinton hail. proved to be both
eloquent and, instructive.
The speaker carried his hearers
from the days of childhood through
the varied scenes of his early life, un-
til his enlistment at Jackson barracks
in Louisiana. and thence across the
western plains to the frontier garrison
at Fort Bayard, New Mexico. In his
humorous way, he told of the troops
being ordered to Fort Douglas, near
Salt Lake City, and the protest, but
the black boys deported themselves 50
manfully when the Spanish war broke
out until more than 250,000 people
4 stood on the streets of that great Nor
mon city to bid the boys God-speed.
I He then painted graphic word pic
ture of the landing of the troops on
Cuban soil and paid glowing tribute
Ito Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, as the
peerless American soldier and citizen
whom he hailed the next president OF
the United States.
He gave a vivid description of the
battle of Santiago and the final charge
of the black regiment, with Colonel
Roosevelt and his famous Rough Rid
ers at San Juan hill. Men and women
| leaned forward to catch every word
of the eloquent black speaker as he
| told the story of the war in sunny
Cuba AS fitting climax, he depicted
the scene after the charge, of the aW'
full suffering, of the piteOus cries OF
the wounded and the dying. and his
service in the yellow fever camps.
| DIR. McPherson's stay in this city
has been a great moral benefit to the
| members of his race. AS the founder
Of the Great Negro Uplift Movement
he plans to establish a large social
center. erect a creditable negro insti
tutional church under the auspices OF
the Home Mission society OF the Bap-
tist denomination under the supervis
| ion of trained workers. The institu,
! tioual work will be along the same
lines as the Y. NJ. c. A. work among
the white boys. The movement has
met the moral and financial support OF
the city officials. Mayor John Norton
leading bankers. merchants and citl
zens are subscribing to the funds fol
the establishing of this worthy move
ment for helping to uplift the colored
Presidents.
Evangelist Mcpherson promises tC
have a building ready within the next
thirty days He will continue the
preaching service nightly at the big
tent and baptise number of new con
verts Sunday at o'clock.
The public is cordially invited tn
all services. Subject for the service

GREAT EXPERT IN THE
CAMPAIGN AGAINST FLIES

In the June American Magazine
there is an interesting article about
Clifton F. Hodge, professor of biology
|, in Clark university at Worcester
Mass. Last year Professor Hodge led
the children of his city in an interest
ing scientific campaign against flies
all this being a part of his idea of
getting vital science into the life Of
the children by way of the public
schools. In a three-week campaign a
few Worcester boys and girls killed
II. 900 600 flies Following is an cN-
tract:
Easy as turning over your hand,
saws Hodge SO simple as 10 be al
most humorous and so effective that
il is little short Of uncanny.' writes
DR.. GUY l.. Hummer, who tried out the
Hodge plan last summer on his Mary
land farm. It's the best fun we ever
had, says The boys and girls. The
Hodge Plan is biologically the eaSl-
est. simplest and most direct solution
of the filth disease fly problem lmaS-
Unable. a solution which means the
saving annually of at least 1OO,oO0
lives. $500. .00O, 600 and endless discom-
fort to 100 1000. .000 people in America.
Carry the whole fight outdoors, where
il belongs. With durable wire traps
set over all garbage pals, where they
feed. and in the windows of all stable
cellars. where they breed, simply let
the pests catch themselves: and then
feed them to the chickens. One Wor
cester boy brought in twenty-five
quarts as d catch of a single day. 1t
is only a question of educating every
body to cooperate Only 232 out OF
the more than 25,OO0 Worcester chill
dren entered the campaign, and iR the
| best sections of the city not more
tran one family in ten even tried to do
effective work, but the results plainly
indicate the possibilities of the plan
In a paper read before the Ameri-
can Civic association at its last meet
ing in Washington on the subject OF
Civic Fly Campaigns, Dr. Hodge call
ed attention to the fact that by OF
fering prizes for the largest number
of flies caught we put a premium on
unsanitary conditions and may aciu
ally stimulate fly-breeding. To cor,
rect this error he offered the following
suggestion
The civic fly campaign of the fu-
ture will focus all prizes and honor
on the complete absence of flies. Di'
viding a city into equal districts, in
stead of crowning him winner who
catches the most, he will win who has
his district clean first, i. e., who first
catches none. The real object of our
civic effort will thus be attained and
the result will be subject to perfectly
clear inspection and demonstration.
Instead of our children wailing for
more flies to catch, we shall have
general rejoicing that the work is well
done. rejoicing in clean, wholesome
homes. free from danger Of filth
disease infections. clean, wholesome
stores and market places. time-old
weary fight ended and the most dead
ly enemy of mankind vanquished at
last This is now a perfectly possible
even easy cOnsummatiOn, if every
household will cooperate. 1t could all
be accomplished at less labor and eX-
pense than is now required in extra
window house cleaning due TO the
presence of the pests

SAN DIEGO

- The Press rejoices, as all the
friends of San Diego must rejoice,
over the announcement that the vigi-
lantes are to disband, and that the
city will join with other communities
and with state officials in an effort
10 secure legislation that will pre-
serve the peace of communities against
incursions of peripatetic 'agitators.
And when We are all able to sit
down calmly and reason over the prob
lens of life We will find that, after all.
the extremes of humanity are not so
far apart as we may suppose.
The unanswered problem of social
we'll being is in finding the point Of
equilibrium between government aud
the individual. and so long as that
point is not found. men are licensed
to hold differing opinions. Moreover,
the only progress made in determining
that point of balance is when men sit
down in calmness and undertake to un,
derstand one another.
There IS no doubt that there are
many facts that. taken by themselves
carry the conviction that the social
agitators are seeking an undesirable
state Of society But, On the other
hand. there are also many facts. taken
by themselves. which carry the con
yiction 10 laboring men that the more
fortunate members of society are
heartless Oppressors.
The most dangerous feature of So
ciety is the growing antagonism THAI
is engendered between classes by a
failure to comprehend each other
The man who seeks TO alter govern
mental institutions is not necessarily
unpatriotic or unwise. The whole his
tory of the evolution of society turns
on countless governmental changes,
and there is no indication that we
have YET reached perfection.
We can even go so far as to say that
practically every uplifting influence in
human history has found its first mani
festation, usually in crude form, in the
people Of The lower social stratum
because il was they who felt the weight
of the strata above them.
We believe in the potency of human
reason. and yet before we can exert
sound judgment on a sociological prob
lem we must have the viewpoint of the
several classes of society, and We ven
ture TO say that no, one person in p
thousand who has undertaken to con.
denim the l. ". ". has any knowledge
of the principles of that organization,
and that not one person in a thousand
of the members of the organization
has any knowledge of the principles
of those who have controlling influence
on society.
There is serious distemper in
American society, and on ourselves
rests the duty OF diagnosing the dis
ease and applying the remedy. We
cannot do that in passion. We can
only accomplish our purpose through
reason regulated and controlled by
charity and consideration for those
least fortunate members of society,
and we hope to see the good people of
San Diego become most active in the
effort TO solve the really serious prob
lem-$hat is presented.

At the meeting Of the Virginia
Taxpayers Association held at the

membership Of fifteen prominent
citizens was recorded, and it is an
ticipated this list will be increased
by additional members at the next
and succeeding meetings.
Much discussion of the proposed
purchase of the plant of the Vir-
ginia Electric Power & Water Com
pany was INDUCED In, there being an
apparent unanimity of opinion that
II the plant was a money-maker. was
a good substantial investment. it
ought be made to pay for itself in
stead of being placed as direct
burden upon the taxpayers of the
community - the evident intention
of the present city administration
If one be permitted to judge from
the fact that direct levy of $780,
900 for this purpose was placed in
the 1912 tax budget, There appears
to be but little objection to municipal
ownership, but the consensus Of
opinion was that it was an injustice
upon the taxpayers to compel him
to pay for the plant and pay for
his light and water in addition, this
opinion resolving itself into formal
motion which was carried, whereby
the association went on record as
opposed to direct tax levy to pay
any part Of the purchase price Of
the plant.
A committee was also appointed
upon motion to prepare figures in
sofar as obtainable from the records
of the company and from the reports
of Burns & Mcdonnell and from the
special committee appointed by the
city council, for presentation at the
next meeting of the Association.
