"JIM CROW" RELIGION
STIRS A CONFERENCE
Resolution Ponds Drawing COL
or Line in South.

New York, Oct. ga resolution
to lay on the shelf several proposals
to establish Jim Grow" dioceses in
the Protestant Episcopal church pro-
duced a lively discussion in the gen
eral convention. The minority mem
bcrs OF the committee. to whom the
matter had been referred, presented
q report taking issue with the advo-
Gates of delay and when the question
Of time to be allowed for debate was
brought forward, deputies jumped to
their feet with protests against
strangulatory measures.
1t was finally decided on motion to
make the reports of the committee a
special order for today and the time
for debate gas limited to one hour,
to be equally divided between those
who favor and those who oppose the
creation of separate missionary juris'
diCtions for negroes in the south.

Fairgrounds In Wisconsin.

Milwaukee Journal: 1t is gratifying to
know that Wisconsin is leading state
in the playground and social center
movement The state holds promi-
nent and honorable place in the ad-
vance of the times, in the strengthening
of government as the servant of the
people, in the cleansing of politics. in
the greatness and the use made of it's
university, in conservation and in
many other things. Not all are agreed
on the wisdom of new things. Some
use the term political laboratory as
"A term of reproach. But all lovers of
their state must agree on the advantage
of intelligent interest taken by the vot.
ers. And certainly few will be found
who do not find in the increase of play
grounds cause for real satisfaction.
Everything that is done to make bet
ter boys and girls, healthier and happi-
er men and women is the soundest pos
sible reform, the most valuable kind of
conservation. On the benefits of play
grounds and social centers we have the
word of careful, practical observers of
such standing as Jane Adams. We
have, moreover. the ever increasing
testimony of scores of cities.
Not every boy given a chance to use
a playground becomes a useful citizen.
We have too many other things incon-
sistent with such success. Not every
such boy is saved from the dangers of
our streets and alleys. But the good
done exceeds the outlay many times.
And we are working in the right direc-
ton when we are at work for the flu
ture. We may well be glad that so
many cities in Wisconsin are acting by
the new light of the times to make the
village and city of the future better.
For, though other forces in plenty are
at work to check the good, it must be
clear that some of the seed sown will
fall on good ground and bring forth
fruit, some thirty, some sixty and some
a hundredfold.

THE QUESTION OF QUALITY.

With textile goods especially in mind
The Springfield Republican thus refers
to an important phase of the lower

Quite rs important as the question
of prices is the question of quality, and

NOW SAY C.5LZER

Impeachment Managers Accept
Challenge Before People.
TO LET LOOSE A BROAOSIOE
Ammunition That Was Held Back for
RebuttaI if Deposed Governor Took
Stand is To Be issued-RepIy to
Statement That He Is Poor
Man.

Man.
New York, Oct. ga summary of
the evidence which the board of man
ayers Of impeachment in the assem-
bly, gathered but which was not pro-
duced against Governor Sulzer at his
trial in Albany will be made public by
the lawyers who represented the
board. The greater part of that evil
dence had been prepared for use
against the governor on cross ex-
stand and for rebuttal in the event
that any strong defense was put up.
After the governor was convicted,
the opinion of the board and of the
men who had worked so hard to cause
the eviction of the governor was that
1t should be buried and forgotten.
Since. hewever, Sulzer has accepted
nomination for the assembly and put
himself again in the running, it is
the determination of the men who
have opposed him, to- let loose broad
side of new evidence against him.
Gay ouiZeT is mIllIOndlre.
From information obtained in
reliable sources, it is believed that
the summary or circular which will
be issued will contain charges that
Mr., Sulzer, instead of being a poor
man, is worth several hundred thou
sand dollars, if he is not a millionaire
The statement will tell of various
other election contributions which
SGlZer received when a candidate for
governor and which have not been
made public so far. There are even
hints that he collected more than
100000.
100000 in Toronto Bank
zone thing that would have been
brought out in rebuttal," said man
close to the impeachment board, was
what he was doing with 100000 on
deposit in a Toronto bank There is
no doubt that he did deposit that
much there"
The sun mary will go into detail not
only concerning election contributions
but other activities of Mr.. Sulzer. 1t
will be an answer in several ways to
the statement which the governor
has made since his removal from the
governorship.
That bitter fight will be made on
Sulzer and that every effort will be
made to prevent his election to the
assembly was learned from various
sources. The publication of the state
ment will be aimed to discredit him
still more in the eyes of the public"

De Pere Democrat: The Wisconsin
Democracy in a way has become disor-

on it would seem as il strong and

SCHOOL TERM AT
ST. JOSEPH'S OPENS

St. Josephs parish school opened
for the fal term of work this morn
ing in the new and enlarged schoo!
building with an enrolment the
first day OF 4O6. This number will
undoubtedly be largely augmented be-
fore the end of the week and it means
a marked decrease over the number
enrolled at the end of the term last
spring. With the enlarging OF the
school facilities the curriculum of the
school has been broadened to include
a four years course in high school
for boys and a two years business
course. Heretofore, because of the
limited accommodations at the old
school building, the high school course
has been open only TO the girls Of the
parish, the boys completing only the
eighth grades. The addition of the
business course also adds to the ef-
ficiency of the school and will be
open to both boys and girls and will
include all the commercial branches.
Four new teachers, Sisters Philipa,
BERTH, Maurelian and Reonina have
been added to the teaching force
making a total of ten IN the school
branches and two music teachers.

readers are urged to present their GER

Everybody that sees this wonderful

scribe such a volume in cold type, and
utterly impossible to portray its beau

its wealth of harmonious colorings
cannot be reproduced. Its contents
are unique IN that they comprise a
series Of interesting stories about the
canal, the country, the people-where

and all of these pleasing little
stories are made up into one complete

With congenial people gathered to-
gether in a house there is nothing
more delightful than a week end
house PARTY. The time Is not Ions
enough to become tired OF each other
and everyone is up to their best, as
sisting in every way possible in the
entertaining. There are SO many nice
! little things which a guest can do TO
! add both to her own and the comfort
/ of the hostess. But if tie wise hostess
has carefully selected her guests she
need have no fear about their having
good time.
! 1t is the hostess who has the hard
! time unless she plans her meals in ad-
vance, has everything baked which
| possibly can be done and her grocery
orders taken care of.
Usually guests arrive Saturday aft.
ernoon, so Saturday night dinner
would be the first and Monday break
fast the last of the menus.
In large homes where there are sew
eral helpers there is no difficulty
usually in arranging for well ordered
and we'll cooked meals, besides many
little courtesies extra. But where
there is only one helper and possibly
none in the home, then it requires
careful planning and engineering Of
affairs.
