ATROCITIES OF CONGO
ARE NOW PAST HISTORY

LONDON, July 8.-With the dis
solution Of the Congo Reform asso-
citation, which was formally notified
to the Belgian government today, the
closing chapter was written in one of
the most successful international cru
sades ever undertaken in England.
It was admittedly due almost alto
gether to the efforts of this organiza-
ton of British publicists that the afro
cities Of the Congo, which so shocked
the entire world when they were first
revealed dozen years ago during the
reign Of the late King Leopold, have
now entirely disappeared. The re-
moval Ct the rubber tax, or "blood
tax" toward which the associotioh g.
pecially directed its energies, now
leaves the native Of the Congo free
to gather the natural products of his
country and dispose of them in lssiu-
mate trade, without restriction.
THE Congo has ceased to BE- drain
ed Of its life blood in the interests Of
Belgian capitalists, who were aided
and abetted by American finsncisrs."
today said E. D. Morel, secretary Of
the association. following the fnal
meeting of the organization, "and ~
or objects have been accomplished.
thore is no further need of our sx-
istence.
"The concessionaire companies, Of
shameful memory, have all either bsen
annuIled or their powers curtailed and
transformed, and thousands of natives
who had fled to recesses Of the forests
to escape their tormentors are now
back in their old settlements on the
river banks. The country il no longer
harried by swarms Of irregular SOL
diers, and the practice by the admin
istration Of arming one tribe against
another has been abolished. Our rs.
sociation has seen all its dAma Ids
save one realized. We failed to se-
cure SPECIAL legislative enactmSn: rec
oRnizing native tenure Of l,nJ but
the Belgian government 10 ac.irs upUm
that ptliey Without formally inc Or.
ating 1t into law.
1T may take two or moro gchsrs.
tions to heal tho wounds inflicted upon
the Congo, but we are satisfied that 4
return to the old system has now bssa
made utterly impossible. The success
OF our agitation really marks an sposA
in the history Of the relations Of Ed.
ropean nations toward the eolorsd
races"

POSTMASTER FORWARDS
RESIGNATION; WAS FIRED

STREATOR, ILL.,, July 7.-Postmas-
ter John w. Fornof today forwarded
his resignation to the postoffice de-
partment at the request Of the post
master general. Fornof was given
the option of resigning or being fired,
cause, according to the letter re-
ceived Thursday from Washington au-
thorities, he and his family are inter-
ested in the Free Press, one Of the
most aggressive down-state Repub-
lican newspapers.
Several weeks ago dispatches stated
that Fornof was about to end his ca
reer because democrats were to prefer
charges against him Of political ac-
tivity and incompetency. 1t was
thought the postmaster would resign
then. but he did not. A few days Ia
ter an inspector from Chicago visited
Streator, bringing with him copy
of the Free Press containing an edi-
torial critlcising President Wilson and
the Democratic administration.
The inspector is said to have dis
covered that Fornof was interested in
the Free Press only in a financial way;
that he devoted all his time to the
postmastership and that he had known
nothing of the editorial until he had
seen it in the paper. The letter call
ing for the resignation gave tho rea-
son that Fornof was interested in the
publication of the Free Press.
Fred Leroy, editor Of the Demo
cratic paper here, is strong candi-
date to succeed Fornof. He Is known
to have antagonized the Sullivan fac
ton and the Lee O'Neill Browne in
terests. Charles McNamara is
Brownies candidate. There are two
independent candidates-Peter Rein
hard and M. A. Bronson, agent for q
brewing company.
Fornof had been postmaster for
over fifteen years.

MRS. J. H. OTIS LAID TO REST.

The large auditorium Of the Presby-
terian church was scarcely sufficient
in size TO accommodate the vast con-
gregation that assembled there yes
terday afternoon to pay their respects
to the memory Of the late Mrs. James
Otis.
An hour earlier funeral services
were held at the home, only members
Of the family being present. At $3.50
the casket was placed in the church
where the departed had been q tire
less worker for SO many years. Mag
nificent floral offerings which bespoke
the esteem in which the good woman
was held, covered the casket and FORM
ed a veritable mound on either side.
Rev. Mr.. DAILY Of the Presbyterian
church Of Mancos delivered message
which breathed q spirit of comfort to
the grief stricken family and friends.
Favorite hymns rendered by voices
loved by the deceased had q part In
the service. Messrs. Harry Ware, Har-
ry Dixon, Ross McGirr, Allison Kroe-
ger, Albert E. Knapp and Harry Nc
Dewitt acted as pail bearers.
A long line Of carriage formed the
procession which wended it's way to
Greenmount where interment took
place.
Mrs. Eva Gaines Otis was 81 years
of age. While not numbered among
the pioneer women of the section, she
had been here twenty-three years and
in her quiet way had an important
part in solving western problems un-
der conditions quite as difficult as
those confronting women who suffered
the deprivation incident to life here
in the waning seventies and early
eighties. In her home life she was
the ideal wife and mother and the in
| fluence that emenated from that home
circle tended toward the betterment
of all homes in the city. In her church
life she exemplified the highest type
of Christian womanhood. She was
ever ready to hear the call of the
distressed and minister to those in
need. For the broken hearted she
| had words Of comfort and good cheer
to the sick and afflicted she gave free
| ly of her time and substances. In
her charities as in all other acts OF
her life, a common sense, well bal
anced view of the situation, governed
her deeds.
Such a woman leaves behind her ar
influence that only the infinite car
gauge.

OBEY THAT IMPULSE,

Instead of enduring the daily tor
ment of weak back, backache, sore
kidneys, swollen joints and rheuma-
tism, obey that impulse to take Foley
Kidney Pills. They cooperate with
nature, which accounts for their sue
cess in all kidney and bladder disor-
ders. They are healing, strengthen
ing and tonic. Charles N. Fox, Him
rod, N. Y, after doctoring for years
with no relief says: ~ commenced
using Foley Kidney Pills and am now
entirely cured" Obey that impulse
today and give them chance to help
you. ]. l.. Parsons. s. G. Wall.
