MAY HAVE BLOCKED
DAN CUP|D'S PLANS
Reporter Blunders Upon Ro-
nance and Accidentally
Gives Away Secret.

rms is a little story of how a blum
dering newspaper reporter may have
interfered with the course of true love
Whether the interference will be final the
events of today will show.
IL all came about by the receipt last
night of dispatch from The Stars
Rockville correspondent stating that a
marriage license was issued there Fri
day TO Benjamin Raymond Cox, twenty
seven years old. and Miss Agnes Helen
Potter, nineteen years old. The dispatch
stated that the marriage was to be per
formed by Rev. Mr. White, a retired
Rockville clergyman.
Then the laundering reporter began
mixing things up. He, found that Mr.
Cox lived at GA G. street northwest and
Express Company. What more natural
than that he should call up on the
telephone TO find whether the marriage
had been performed? He failed 10 scent
a romance.
Sister at the Phone.
Mr.. Cox's sister answered the tele-
phone She said that the marriage had
not been performed. but would be on
Sunday. Asked II il was to be run
away, she replied that 1t was not exact
II that, but said there seemed to b.
come opposition on the part of tie
young woman's family. She said the
marriage would take place tomorrow :
The reporter continued TO blunder To
make sure OF his facts he called up
Miss Potter. who. he found, lived at
2554 Wisconsin avenue. A man an
swered the telephone. Asked If ne knew
anything about Miss Potter's intention
TO marry Mr.. Cox he said emphatically
that he did not.
lie added that he was sure Miss Potter
was not going to marry. He said he
knew Mr.. Cox, however, but that the
couple were not engaged and We're not
thinking Of getting married. He seemed
very sure of this fact He volunteered
the information that Miss Potter was in
the house at that time. and had been
there all day yesterday.
fursues His Inquiry.
Then the reporter Numbered some more
by calling UP the Rockville correspondent
and Rev. DIR. White. The correspondents
was sure that the license had been Is
sued, for he had seen the record of the
clerk DR.. White said he knew nothing
about the affair.
To make matters worse, the sister OF
Mr. Cox called up the reporter a few
minutes later. She said she was afraid
he tthe reporter) might call up Miss Pot
ters home and give everything away
Then the reporter was in an awful state
OF mind, for he had already given things
away he felt like Cupid's murderer.
Imagine how the reporter will watch to-
days events. II he has done any harm
- y sorry-oh. so sorry!

day evening. Mr.. Peabody stated yes
terday that the questions to be taken
up at this meeting were such that
they would require the careful con-
sheraton of each member. and urges
that every member be present.
Among the matters which are to be
brought up at this meeting are the
consideration Of certain laws govern
ing traffic, certain phases governing
the enforcement Of traffic laws, work
done by the ways and means commit
tee, work which is to be done by the
statistics committee. and the compile
tion Of plans for the wider publicity of
the present campaign for street safe
~. Present plans of the association
cover an especially active campaign
five weeks long or longer in behalf of
street safety Although the amount of
time specified seems at first quite long
the amount of work which has to be
done is of very large and OF unusual
Importance in regard to making the
streets safe.
Directors Meeting Called.
Members of the board of directors of
the association have also been called
to meet on the same evening, and 1t is
hoped that all of them, especially the
Will be present 1t has been requested
that any suggestions which members
Of the association may care to make
regarding the future work Of the or
ganization be put in written form so
they may be referred to the proper
committee without delay.
Men at the head of the automobile in
dustries in this country are now be-
ginning to take an active interest in
movements looking toward making the
80
men, j. F. Hartz, president of a De-
troit firm, is quoted as making the fol-
lowing statement:
It's an old saying that an ounce of
prevention Is worth pound Of cure
but ii fits in very nicely with the move
ment recently put under way in some
parts of America, whereby school chill
dren are TO be taught tho traffic rules
and regulations by means Of moving pic
lures and illustrated lectures.
Lessons for the Young.
There isno doubt but what the young
mind can grasp these picture lessons
much more quickly than by any other
method, and when once they learn the
rights and wrongs of the city streets
the percentage of accidents Will be re-
duced TO q minimum.
The street car lines and railroads have
posted warning notices on the right and
wrong way of leaving their cars and
crossing thoroughfares, but these printed
signs make little or no impression on the
average child With the motion pictures
Il Is another story. Here the child fol-
lows every movement OF the actors and
can actually see the danger before the
accident occurs. With all this in plain
sight, and an experienced teacher to tell
them how to act under similar circum-
stances, there 10 no reason why the les
son should not leave a lasting impress
sion.
Il am sure the people responsible for
this movement will have the hearty CO
operation of all merchants and manufac-
turers who use or make motor driven
vehicles In my estimation 1t is the first
big, important step taken to solve the
problem OF how to take care OF the
children on the streets"

EIGHT GOVERNORS OF ALABAMA
184-1901
No. 36-Administratio n of Governor Houston
General Joseph w heeler in Politics

The two state elections, those Of 1874
and 1876, effeetually crippled first, then
dismembered and extinguished the organi-
zation of earpetbaggers. scalawags and
negroes, known in Washington as the re-
publican party of Alabama, here as the
radicals.
The fifteenth article of amendment of
the federal constitution yet remained and
the republican party seemed to have ac.
quired augmented strength in the nation
in the fraudulent action of the electoral
commission by which Hayes was seated
as President.
Reconstruction in Alabama was moi
stimulated from the political situation
For four years Houston had been gov
ernor. Within that period new and sub
stantialy improved state constitution had
been framed and put into effect, the state
debt had been reduced, election laws had
been revised, towns, counties and tho state
had been made secure from onerous taxes,
the administration of justice had been
laid on safer foundations. Morgan had
already made himself felt in the Senate
and it WAS certain Houston would take
Spencer's seat within year
General Grant yet commanded a power
full following in all parts Of the north,
anxious to replace him in the Presidency
in order to restore to power that ele-
ment which had seized the government by
means of the electoral commission. In
some of the counties of Alabama the local
government was yet in peril because of
the preponderance of the negro majority,
awaiting only white leader, brave and
competent. TO revive the disturbance of
the earlier years
The biennial election year returned.
Prudent statesmen were conscious that
prolonged security to white supremacy
depended upon two conditions precedent.

be produced in the cotton states If re-
stored to negro rule, to satisfy tho New
England mills, to pay for western corn

since has remained upon the world. Gods
word reveals that in due time He Will
roll away the curse, and bring blessings
and opportunities 10 every member of the
race.
Meantime. however, God would gather

The greatest privilege of the present
time is to set into this elect company of
Gods saints. In order to enter this eom-
pany, faith and obedience are necessary.
That faith must recognize Jesus as the
Lamb of God the Sin-bearer. The world
cannot understand what pleasure and
blessing these enjoy. Truly, joy and
peace is theirs which knows no measure.

uplift of their pupils. Yet evidently many
of them have but a slight appreciation of
their great privileges. And some. of
course, like the remainder of the world.
are selfish and think of their work from
the standpoint OF business--so much ef-
fort. SO much pay.
Fain would we encourage teachers to
look not entirely to the reward of the
present, but especially to the still more
important reward of the future 1t is
growingly the view of Bible students that
our every act and word, yea. our very
thoughts. our motives, have to do not
only with our present experiences. but
also with our future life-secured for
all through the redemption sacrifice at
Calvary.
OF course, the first and chief response
bility for children rests upon their par
ents. No doubt the majority Of parents,
to some extent, realize their responsible
ity in Gods sight and mans, for the chill
dren they bring into the world. But they
labor under the difficulties of their own
ignorance. They knew not the proper
been a succession of blunders. They pre-
sumo that their children must blunder
similarly. and that success is largely a
matter OF luck.
Not seeing the principles underlying
life's experiences. many parents are un-
able to guide their children intelligently
Here teachers, moralists, religionists ano
humantarians find their opportunity. But
how little any one seems able to accom-.
plish along any linel And how discour-
aged the philanthropic become!
On the whole, however, a broad view
contrasting the present with 80 years ago
shows that progress is being made IN
many directions. Our cities are cleaner
both physically and morally-at least sc
far as outward appearances and standards
are concerned. However shocked and
ashamed we may be at occasional dis
closures of corruption and Vice, those
whose memories go back half a century
can tell that no longer do we have the
vile "doggeries'' of old, with poor sots
sitting, lying about the promises, in vari-
Gus degrees of intoxication No longer
does vice flaunt itself in the face of soci-
ETY. The battle against intoxication and
the social evil is making progress in that
at least, it has made former conditions
impossible.
New Issues Now-New Temptations,
Our lesson tells of a time in the his
tory of Israel when the prosperous class
had become wealthy-when many of the
nations wisest and most brilliant people
had settled down to ease and luxury-to
self-gratification. The Lord through the
pI ophet upbraided them, assuring them
that He was not pleased with such g
course, and that woes would result.
