At home, as well as in the Kansas
senate, Judge Price is held in the
highest esteem. When he talks, he
says something. He believes in the
Constitution as a fence between the
people and the mob, and candidly adj
mits that any legislation tending to
chop down that safeguard is bunk in
the first degree.
The economy feature of the DEM
ocratic platform threatens to become
oppressive to certain state institutions.
The head of some state institution who
is simply Pining Away for a new
silver dinner service, may have to eat
off the old set for another two years,
and he may have to defer his proposed
trip to Yurrip. Some of the nuts at
the state nuttery may be deprived of
the use of proposed new buildings, al
though the present quarters may be
crowded. The Memorial building may
be finished in paving brick instead of
marble by reason of a shortage in the
appropriation demanded by the archi-
tects. Other things may result, but it
will be a noble victoree," as little
Peterkin's grandparents observed
anent the battle of Blenheim.

MAKE PURITAN TARGET.
Old Monitors Badly Wrecked, Found
Unfit for Service.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-The big double
turreted monitor Puritan was today
stricken from the naval list after 80 years
service. She was built at the Norfolk

tons displacement and formerly carried d

While conducting experimental test

Puritan was sunk. She was later raised.

placed out of commission. She will be

In the year of 1899 he resigned his
secular position and engaged in the
ministerial work exclusively until
1906. Then he returned, as was in
tended, for little while to the boiler
making industry. Soon his ability was
recognized and he was offered one
f1attering position after another I'M
til he came to Topeka in May, 1910.
In July of the same year John Pur-
cell appointed him general foreman
of the boiler department of the Santa
Fe shops here in Topeka, which is
very remunerative, as we'll as a re-
sponsible position. Since taking this
place, he has given entire satisfaction.
Mr.. Hodges had IL foremen and
three hundred and fifty men under
his supervision. He has had other
flattering business offers, but has de-
clined them all to engage in the min
istry. His numerous friends in the
shop, employers and employees alike,
are parting with him reluctantly, and
are bidding him success and God
speed in his new field of labor.

Now that Hutchinson has the state
seal on it's fair grounds, the senate
expects to find time to either pass or
bump a number of real bills. That
biennial pest, the mock senate, is also
removed from the calendar and the
bona fide senators may work all night
without interruption if they want to.
But it is widely suspected that they
would gladly turn over to the newSpa-
per men what is left of the 1913 SeS-
sion, and go back to face their con-
stituents before the facing gets any
worse.
Standing out distinctly in a senate
that is composed of heavyweights, is
the Senator from Clark county. This
is Judge Prices return engagement
sufficient proof that the Standpatter
predominates in his district, or that
his personality amounts to more than
politics with his home people. For
Senator Francis Price is one of the
realest real Republicans on the job.
Up to a late hour this afternoon he
had been unable to see any merit in
the Bull platform. He can abide the
presence of a Democrat, and some
times votes for some bill mentioned in
the Democratic governors message.
He recognizes in the Democra a foe
man in uniform, and subject to the
rifles of civilized warfare, but in the
Mooser nothing more than a barn
burning guerilla. Judge Price fails
also to see the burning need of the I.
and r., the recall and other socalled
demand" legislation. He holds-and
mayhap he is right, that the demand
for this legislation comes not from the
people but from the politicians who
had run out of campaign scare heads.
He not only invites but dares anyone
to dig up q majority of voters who I'M
derstand the provisions of the capital
letter legislation, or are whooping for
it except at the behest, of political
advisers.

Fifty Years of Freedom.

The first day of this month the
Negroes of this country celebrated
the iftieth anniversary of the issuance
of the Emancipation Proclamation.
All over this country they assembled
and in various ways commemorated
this event.
Fifty years ago four million peo-
pie, ignorant, superstitious and en-
shaved. To-day over ten million Ne
groes with a record along educational
lines unparalleled in the histor of the
world and a air reputation in the
matter of cofmercial activity are the
assets presented to the world. 1t is
not necessary to recount here in de-
tail the progress made by the race,
but suffice it to say, that at the end
of these fifty years we stand face to
face with new problems and new
opportunities-with our educational
progress is by far in advanhe of our
commercial progress.
The white mar has been tolerant
toward the black man; and truly he
had a right to be, and has a right
to continue to be so, but with all OF
this, as we begin on the last half
of the first century of u freedom
we should, as a race, set about to
take steps toward a more active and
permanent effort in commercial pur
suits. We should put aside all sill
ness and get down to actual facts
We must realize that we r now be
ing called upon to perform Dir par
as other men. We should not forget
however. that our task will be harder
than others because Of the peculiar
circumstances surrounding us, anC
for that reason we will be compelled
to make greater sacrifices and t
struggle against more odds than an!

FRIDAY, JANUARY 3, 1918.
The New Year.

With the incoming of the New
Year doubtless the thought has come
to many that they would put forth an
effort to do more for humanity
than they have ever done before.
The common expression turn over
a new leaf" is true whether we in
tend it to be or not; for with the
passing out of each year the accom-
plishments we have achieved pass
out with it and the opportunities to
do other things present themselves
with the advent of the New Year.
, In this age of progress all thinking
people are e%ndeavoring to put them
selves in an attitude to do nor good
each day and to adjust themselves
to the demands of the age. The
leading people of this nation, and in
fact all the world, are centering,
more and more, their energy on real
service. No longer the mar of af-
fairs or Of exceptional attachments
considers that he must be served, but
the Scriptural teaching that the truly
great are those who serve their fell
lowmen is coming into a fuller reali-
cation.
The following sentences sent forth
as a New Years greeting by a lead
ing publisher we consider an able
exposition of what we should en-
deavor to do in 1918.
TO be fit for your days work and
to lend a hand besides. To have
strength for your own burden and
some for the other fellows too. To
bear you own sorrows courageously
and to share those of your brother.
man. To know when to lift and
when to lean-where to laugh and
where to mourn-how to work and
how to play-to ever watch and often
pray. To have a heart that loves and
is beloved-hands that give as well
as take and feet that go on little
journeys to the places of the worlds

FRED MOORE TO GET LlBERlAN
MINISTERSHIP.

Washington, December 26.-Accord-
to a current report, Fred r. Moore,
editor of the New York Age, is being
urged by his friends for the post Of
American Minister to Liberia, which
was made vacant by the death of DR..
w. d. Crum. Mr.. Moore spent Satur-
day and Sunday here as the guest of
his sister, and the news began to cir
culate that he was being urged by his
friends for the post. 1t is believed
here that the President will send his
name to the Senate next week,
Friends Of Mr.. Moore point out the
fact that his paper was the leading
supporter of President Taft in both
of his campaigns, and that the honor
Of being named as minister to Lii
IBERIA would only be a slight appreci-
alton of his work for the G. o. P.
Mr.. Moore IS a native of Virginia
but spent his early life and obtained
his education here. He moved to
New York City years ago, and is one
Of the best known men in the Me-
tropolis. He was organizer of the
National Negro Business League for
a few years, and has been publisher
Of the Age for the past six or seven
years. Several years ago Liberia
conferred upon him the decoration oil
the Order Of African Redemption.
