LOCAL PHYSICIAN
RELATIVE OF REID
DIR. 4. A. Hopkins Recalls Incl
dents in Early Life Of
Ambassador

The late Ambassador Whitelaw
Reid was a distant cousin of Or. r. "A.
Hopkins, No. 1885 woodward-ave.
My mother and father were very
ultimate with the Reid family IN the
years between 1875 and 1880 and |
often went with them 20 spend the
day on the Reid farm. near Nenia, O.,
said DR., Hopkins, Monday. AT that
time, no one was better known or bet
ter liked IN the community than
Whitelaw Reid. He was always jolly
and very cordial with everyone and
exceedingly kind TO his father and
mother.
Il remember one incident that hap
pened after h. became prominent that
shows he retained these characteris-
tics. A young couple who had been
servants of the I;eids from childhood
were married and went 10 New YORK
on a visit When they came back they
caused considerable comment In the
community by telling how Whltelaw
Reid had entertained them and treat
ed them just rs he did his New YORK
friends"

DIR. FIXES DISCUSSES
PREACHING FOR SOULS

The Rev. Maurice Penfield Fixes,
pastor of the Woodward-ave. Baptist
church, gave the members of the De-
trolt Baptist Ministers conference a
stirring address on Preaching for
souls" in the regular weekly gather
ing OF the conference, Monday morn
ing. Mr.. Fixes talk was full of the
evangelistic spirit, the characteristic
feature of his ministry. He said that
while some ministers preached with
the idea in mind OF drawing men or
money and position to their churches,
he aimed TO reach the unsaved, re-
CARELESS of their circumstances. BE
strongly emphasized being orthodox
In presenting a message from the pull
pit declaring that no stronger appeal
could be made TO men than through
the plain gospel of Jesus Christ
DIR. Fixes, in speaking of his own
methods, said that he always preach
ed with but one thouht In mind,
namely, the winning of at least one
soul to the cause of Christianity. Ii
was his custom, he said, TO direct his
efforts TO one man in the congrega-
ton, and ne looked for results through
the effect of his work on the person
singled out for particular attention.
Ia his Introductory remarks, DIT,
Fixes pointed ont that the Baptist
church in Michigan had not done as
web as had been expected in the last
year. lie said that there had been a
gain of but Asa adherents. The de-
nomination in the state. he said, had
3O2 pastors and 447 CHI rches, the lat
ter representing total investment of
$S,2sS.0s5.
The conference thought so well oi
Dr. Fixes paper, that II was decided
to have II printed in pamphlet form
and distributed among the Baptist
clergy and mission workers OF the
state.

STATESMEN ANXIOUS
TO RETURN HOME
Many Political Fences Out OF Repair.
Unusual Number of Senators to
be Reelected.

Washington, D. O., Aug 2.-The
uppermost question in the minds OF
senators just now is, when can we
get away?" That very fact indi-
Gates an eagerness to find a way to
get away The house leaders claim
they have abou cleared up all the
essential work they intend to do
this session, or that may not be con-
cluded by the first week in August,
and are waiting upon the senate
In that body haste has been made
slowly despite. the spurring by the
leaders. Views on important pend
ing measures have developed so
much divergence that it il quite
likely that most Of the big bills 9th
er than the supply measures will go
over until the next regular session.
That in itself should promote an
early adjournment in accord with
the house program. So. it looks as
though adjournment day should
come somewhere between the 10th
and goth Of August
The remarkable changes that Wis
tied the domain of national politics
within the past year IS accountable
for the nnwonted anxiety Of the
congressman to get back to their
constituencies, with view to learn
ing how they stand with each other.
I is to be great election year, un
precedented in it's possibilities since
the party breakups Of 1850 More
senators and more representatives
than ever before are to be elected.
80 of the former and 435 of the lat
er with an electoral college of 531
to be chosen. The indications are
that there will be a greater change
than ever in the personnel both OF
senators and representatives
The number of tickets in the field
backed by earnest supporters will
bring out a larger vote than ever
probably considerably over 15,0O0,-
900. The largest vote in any presi-
Dental election was in 1908. when
14,41S,79S ballots We're cast, but
hat was perhaps less percentage
Of the aggregate qualified voters
than at any previous election.

claims will reduce the duties on cot
ton and cotton manufacturers by APP
proXimately 21 per cent.
The measure il identical with that
vetoed by President Taft last year
on the ground that it was not based
on official information.
Some of the house members ex-
pressed the belief that the senate
would pass it and put the legisla-
tion up to the president again.
Mr.. Underwood declared the meas
ure would not affect any honest in
dusiry but would lead TO a healthful
stimulus of competition.

GovERNFR HOOPER

There are some democratic iourn-
alists and possibly votes who, be-
cause they are sore at the defeat OF
Ex-Governor McMillin, are ehted
over the fact that Governor Hooper
will probably have an irreconcil-
able legislature to deal with.
Such action is ridiculous.
Democracy is an enemy to sell
fshness.
We suggest deep-breathing ex-
ercises for those so afflicted that
their goodness will permit associa-
alton with the goodness Of others.
Many wrongs in Tennessee will
remain just as they are as long as
one political party matches its
strength against another, using
such tools as hatred, jealousy, sell
fshness and SANDER.
Unfortunately there are many
editors whose vision does not vary
10 per cent from a straight leveI
in front Of their faces. Tennessee
has her share.
Governor Hooper has been re-
elected by the majority Of the peo-
Pile of this state. If the good
measures lie advocates are cast
aside by a warning body of law
makers, then he cannot be blamed.
He can do only what any other ex-
ecutive would under similar con,
ditions, that is, do the best he car
with what he has.
Democrats are entirely respon-
sible for most Of the statutes il
force in Tennessee. If their med
icine is bitter, they should smile
and endeavor to show a fair
minded republican governor the
way they have erred, and assist hin
in setting matters right.
Governor Hooper is governor
of republicans and democrats alike.
He is governor Of humanity ano
dumb brutes. We are willing tc
leave the question of bis fitness tc
the people.
For the good name Of Tennessee
and the proud people, we hope the
governor will admirably acquit
himself. Some editors take them
selves too seriously. News Scim-
itar.
