OUTDO DAMON And PYTHIAS
EVEN JoHNATHAN AND DAVID
COULD NOT EXCEED THEIR
MUTUAL LOVE.
AMBITION CAME CRAWLING
AND THE TWO FRIENDS WERE
CONVERTED INTO BIT
TER ENEMIES.

Washington, May 81 Senator
Stone of Missouri today carried out
his purpose of addressing the senate
on @the modern Damon and Pythias
and correlated subjects pertaining to
current politics"
Mr.. President" he said, any man
having even a meager knowledge OF
ancient lore will recall the story Of
Damon and Pythias and the story Of
David and Jonathan. A few years
ago the American people and the civi-
lized world were given to understand
that here in our own dear country
we had reproduction of these glor-
ious traditions of the far distant past.
We were led to believe that the
combined and consolidated spirits OF
Damon and Jonathan had come out
of their haven of rest and taken re.
fuge in the corpus Of Theodore
Roosevelt, and that the combined
spirits of David and Pythias had in
like manner. come to rest on the am
PIE bosom Of William Howard Taft.

these old stories OF ancient lore ana
love were reproduced here in this
new world Of ours for the edification
and uplifting of the human race
Senator Stone, amid laughter, said
it had been a case Of two souls with
but single thought; TWO hearts that
beat as one,' until the Shiny and
poisonous serpent Of ambition crawl
ed across the path they were walking
and divided them Both had tasted
the bitter sweet of power and liked
it oyermuch. Both were tempted and
both fell"

with knives and knives to the hilt. AS
q consequence of this ferocious con
test the country and the world have
been treated to series of spectacu-
lar vaudeville stunts in politics with
out parallel In the history of our
country and which devoutly hope
viii not again be repeated"
Senator Stone referred to Senator
LaFollette's participation in the
campaign and continued:
"Mr President, passing over the
personal and party aspects of this
miserable squabble, is it not truly a
sad spectacle we are witnessingg
These worldfamed republican leaders
have been for months circling the
country. abusing each other like pick
pockets in language akin to the YER
nacular of a fish market or even
something worse.
THE world outside looks on
aghast and the press and reading

erywhere criticise. cartoon. laugh
and taunt"
To the amusement of the senate.
Senator Stone read samples "of the
polite exchanges of compliments"
among the three republican candi-
dates. He said he must grant that
President Taft "innately a gentle
man" evidently was reluctant to. en-.
ter upon "this ruffian fight He as
serted. however. that the last word
in this black chapter of American
history" would be written at Chicago.

Here is printed the Southern Chris

From every section of the country,
work is sent to this house-many Of
the leading fraternal organizations
placing their minutes with it. So
pleased are the patrons, that when
once an order is placed, they invariably
become regular customers.
The amount of patronage received
outside the church is the encouraging
feature of the work. The ability to
measure arms with many white firms
of the country, and do the work as
well and oftimes better, is the hopeful
sign pointing the way toward greater
achievements.

latures and others in a post on to
work good or i'll to the Negro race.
It is but fitting that word should now
be said informing the Nashville pub
lie of the progress of the movement.
1t was not to be expected that the
colored people of Nashville would fur,
nish the financial support necessary
to carry out the whole programme,
thus other communities we're needed
as helpers in the movement. It will
please Nashville friends to learn
that, wherever we have gone, North
or South, the people have received us
with open arms. AS a result of the
generous support given throughout
the country for this movement in the
interest of a more wholesome public
sentiment affecting the RIGHTS of our
people, "Wisdom's Call" has been
given a beautiful Morocco binding in
a limited edition for President Taft.
Ex-president Theordore Roosevelt,
Hon. Woodrow Wilson and few others.
It has also been issued in a beautiful
blue cloth binding, stamped in Gold,
To increase the strength of the pre-
sentation of our cause a new book
entitled Beyond the End" by the
present writer, has been added and
now appears under the same cover
with "Wisdom's Call"
Due to the announcement received
in the city of Chicago from forces,
white and colored, working for the
uplift of our people, we have seen 1t
to establish in that city the National
Sentiment-Moulding Eureau which
will have for its one great aim the
MOULDING of a healthy public senti-
ment, North and South, favorable to
the cause Of our people.
At the recent session Of the Ma
tional Baptist Convention held in
Houston, Texas, appropriate committee
were appointed to have the comics Of
Wisdom's Call for the President and
other presidential aspirants presented
in such a way as to secure a full hear
ing of the message from our people.
DR.. E. G.. Morris, president Of the
body, Rev. A. Barbour, OF Galveston,
Texas, Rev. z. M. Grlggs, Of Palestine,

Mr.. ROLAND SPICER OF NEW
YORK.

Saturday night Nashville was Wis
tied by Mr.. Roland Spicer, of New
York City. He was en- route to
Texas and California with the
Yokum party. They left New
York Thursday over the Penn
lylvania from the magnificent sta
ton, coming via Cincinnati, and
reaching Nashville over the L.. G. N.
Mr.. Spicer was in tn private car Of
Mr.. B. f. Yokum, an official of the
Frisco Railroad, who with his family
was en- route to San Antonio, Tex,
TO be present at and take part in the
wedding of Miss camp-map, who is
to be married to Mr.. Frost. The Yo-
kun and camp-map families are life
long friends.
Mr.. Spicer, who has been with Mr..
Yokum for about twelve or fifteen
years, remained over in San Antonio
only a few hours, he himself being
en- route to visit his relatives and
friends in Oakland and San Francis
co. Mr.. SDicer has travelled contin-
uously with the Yokum family all
over the world. 1t is planned to
give him a rousing reception on the
return trip in case they should come
back via Nashville.
The special left Nashville at 10
o'clock Saturday night, going direct
to Birmingham, whore they left the
L. & N. and took the Frisco through
to New Orleans and Houston. Mr..
Spicer was met at the station by Mr..
H. A. Boyd, who has known him for
a score of years. They met a year
ago in New York, when Mr..
SDicer entertained the Boyd fam
lily and Miss Mahan at the Hotel
Maceo on 59rd street. It was impos-
sible for the visitors to remain over
longer than several hours.

The Management.

The business of the Sunday School

This, too, in spite of the fact that the
church contributed practically not n
penny toward keeping its doors open,
but rather, at the suggestion of the
over to the missionary preachers the
funds known as the Children's Day
Collection, which had hitherto been
the financial prop of the institution.
It's phenomenal growth during the
last four years has been due to the
f~ar-sighted business sense OF the
Secretary Treasurer. Easing his con-
tentions upon the reasonable argu-
ment that any legitimate business en-
terprise should be able to support it,
self, he offered to his church his serv-
ices, and after eight years of debate,
was finally elected to try his hand
at what many of his skeptlcal opposers
persuaded themselves to believe was
an impossibility. Mr.. Ira T. Bryant
has met the show me" people, and
they have seen.
To those who know, it Is no great
surprise that MIR. Bryant Is an ex-
pert in the art of printing and pub
fishing; for it may be said that he
was born in a print shop. Twenty
five years ago at Selma, Ala, his ia

~cessfully conducted the only publish
ing house the Negro race had. 1t was
here with such environments, that this
son early imbibed the spirit and desire
to profit by the example of a worthy
sire. He grew up with it and in it.
1t is no wonder, then, bringing the
accumulated knowledge of twenty-five
years with him to the management
of the Sunday School Union, that Mr..
Bryant should be able to accomplish
in four years what he has.
