TWO PROMINENT WOMEN.

Mrs. Frank Miller, Chairman of the
Educational Committee of the Won
ems American Baptist home Mission
Society, with headquarters at Chica-
go, ILL.,, who is a relative Of the editor
of the Chicago Standard, was in the
city this week, accompanied by Miss
Julis Dickerson, sister of Rev. DR..
DickerSon, the Editor of the Chicago
Standard. Miss Dickerson is also
member of the Executive Committee.
While in the city they made a per-
sonal investigation of Nashville's edu-
cational facilities, and while attend
ing chapel services at the National
Baptist Publishing Board Saturday
morning expressed themselves as being
highly pleased with the investments
the Women's Missionary Society had
made in some of the educational insti-
tutions in Nashville. They were the
guests of Roger Williams University
and the Fireside School, and were
chaperoned by Miss Eaton, visiting
many points of interest in the city.

Beginning today the Young Mems
Christian Association, under the di-
rection of the Committee of Manage
ment and the Executive Secretary, as
sisted by nine young men or the Bible
Study Groups, will conduct member
ship campaign. The goal the boys
hope to reach is SO members In three
days. The Secretary and his faithful
co-workers seem to be desperately In
earnest about the matter.
The annual fees are two dollars and
five dollars per year Two dollars is
the general membership fee and five
dollars makes one a sustaining men,

faith than some others in this work
for men and boys, as is often the case
in most communities, an opportunity
is here given to show the same by
becoming a sustaining member, mani
testing five dollars worth of interest
instead of two dollars worth.
If the boys are given a square deal,
and there is no reason to doubt that
they will be. they are bound to win.
Men everywhere are anxious to prove
to the world that they are not half
so selfish as the stern critics accuse
them of being. They are easily re-
minded of the fact that they once
needed encouragement themselves and
in many instances need it now Hence
they simply want the assurance that
the cause is just and that 1t is what
the fellows need and want and they

man cost, the cost of lives snuffed
out, of energies pvertaked and
broken, the fearful physical and
spiritual cost to the men and women
and children upon whom the dead
weight and burden of it all has
fallen pitilessly the years through.
The groans and agony of it all had
not yet reached our ears, the solemn
moving undertone of our life, coming
up out of the mines and factories
and out of every home where the
struggle had its intimate and fa-
miliar seat. With the great govern
ment went many deep secret things
which we too long delayed to look
into and scrutinize with candid, fear
less eyes. The great government we
loved has too often been MADE use or
for private and selfish purposes, and
those who used it had forgotten the

Hon. w. c. Houston for Congress,
Hon. Benton McMillin for our next
Governor, Gen. Harvey Hannah for

Mallard for the Legislature. We
would like to see Hon. w. j. Bryan
Secretary of State. We have voted
for him three times for President, and
would vote for him as many times as
he would offer. We think he is one
of the worlds greatest men, We have
read after him nearly 20 years and
every proposition set forth by him

AMENDMENT KILLED.
Senate Refuses to Take Action on
Emancipation Celebration.

Washington, Feb. 27.-(Special)- y
The amendment of Senator Bradley to
the Sundry Civil Appropriation Bill to
carry into effect the provisions of the
Senate bill passed April 2, 1912, pro
viding for the celebration of the semi
centennial anniversary OF the act OF
emancipation and appropriating $780,
600 for this purpose, was defeated in
the Senate tonight.
A point of order was made against
the amendment by Senator Hoke
Smith, of Georgia, and the point OF
order was sustained. Senator Brad

and had previously succeeded in hav

A Helpful vision.

At last vision has been voucn-
safed us of our life as a whole. We
see the bad with the good, the de-
based and decadent with the sound
and vital. With this vision we ap-
proach new affairs Our duty is to
cleanse, to reconsider, to restore, to
correct the evil without lmpairing
the good, to purify and humanize
every process of our common life
without weakening or sentimentaliz-
ing it. There has been something
our haste to succeed and be great.
Our thought has been Let every
man look out for himself, let every
generation look out for itself while
we reared giant machinery which
made it possible that any but those
who stood at the levers of control
should have chance to look out for
themselves. We had not forgotten
our morals. We remembered well
enough that we had set up a policy
which was meant to serve the hum
blest as well as the most powerful,
with an eye single to the standards
of justice and fair play, and remem-
bered it with pride. But We were
needless and in hurry to be great
We have come now to the sober
second thought The scales Of heed
lessness have fallen from our eyes.
We have made up our minds to
square every process of our national
life again with the standards we so
proudly set up at the beginning and
have carried in our hearts Our work
is a work of restoration.
We have itemized with some degree
of particularity the things that ought
to be altered and here are some Of
the chief items: A tariff which cuts us
off from our proper part in the com
merce of the world, violates the just
principles of taxation, and makes the
government a facile instrument in the
hands of private interests; banking
and currency system based upon the
! necessity of the government to sell
its bonds fifty years ago and perfectly
, adapted to concentrating cash and re
stricting credits; an industrial system
which, take it on all its sides, finan
, cial as well as administrative, holds
capital in leading strings; restricts
, the liberties and limits the opportuni
ties of labor, and exploits without re
, newing or conserving the natural re.
sources of the country; a body of agri
cultural activities never yet given the
, efficiency of great business undertak
ings or served as it should be through
the instrumentality of science taken
directly to the farm, or afforded the
, facilities of credit best suited to its
, practical needs; watercourses, unde.
, veloped, waste places unreclaimed
forests untended, fast disappearing
without plan or prospect of renewal
unregarded waste heaps at every mine
We have studied as perhaps no other
nation has the most effective means of
production but We have not studied
cost or economy as we should either
as organizers of industry, as states
men, or as individuals.
Nor have We studied and perfected
the means by which government may
be put at the service of humanity, in
? safeguarding the health or the nation
the health of its men and its women
e and it's children, as weIl as their
rights in the struggle for existence

know that the Germans were the first
to hit upon this wonderful expedient
for building up bodies and brains that
were quickly fatigued in the close air
of the indoor school-room.
About ten years ago. certain Ger
man authorities discovered, in an in
vestigation, that from three to five
per cent. of the pupils were suffering
from anemia and other diseases In
their incipient stages; and, further
more, that these children were not
backward in class work because of de-
fective mentality but because of i'm
paired physical vitality.
They argued that If the children
were allowed to continue In the school
they would, in all probability. become
near invalids or, at least. grow up to
be weak men and women. On the
