CLOSES ARGUMENT

facilities and equipment as will be re-
qutred to keep the carrying capacity
OF these carriers abreast with the
productive growth of the country
which they serve, and there is there
by presented problem, easy or diff
hcult as the case may be, of providing
that large sum of new money re-
quired each year for such facilities.
The carriers interested in this
proceeding, speaking through their
executives and counsel, have said
that the financial results of the i'm
mediate past have not been such as
to encourage the expenditure of new
money for such facilities by these
railroads, and realizing the vital i'm
portance of this question to all con-
cerned, and all are concerned. the
carriers endeavored to meet the stu
alton by means of new freight sched-
ules which they caused to be pre-
pared and filed with this commission.
These schedules provide as nearly as
practicable for small and substanti-
ally uniform advance upon all freight
carried within the territory affected,
such advance being approximately S
per cent.
THE carriers did not overlook the
fact that under certain conditions In
creased freight revenue mighr also
be obtained from other lines of pro-
cedure. They felt, however, that the
plan they proposed was under all cir
cumstances the best and most prac-
ticable one at that time, and one Of
the questions, and, as l view It, the
most important question before this
commission at the present moment Is
shall the new tariffs now on tile he
permitted to become effective. In
that connection / would like to sug.
gest that should this commission in
us wisdom approve Of the tariffs Just
referred to-. and should 1t later on
ma that any particular rate then in
enect ought to be reduced, the com.
mission has ample power to order
such misunderstanding condition
not dicicult to deal with.
"On the other hand, II this com.
mission should decide to withhold its
consent with relation to the new tar.
ms, then unless those who represen,
the carriers in this proceeding are
wholly mistaken, or worse vet, have
intentionally sought to deceive this
commission for the purpose of impos.
Ing unreasonable rates upon the COM
merce of this country, the very seri-
Gus problem will still remain. of how
to obtain without undue delay the
money with which to provide for the
continually growing business. That
those speaking for the railroads have
not been wholly mistaken Is perhans
indicated by the general apathy
which is known to exist at the pres
emit time, so far as railroad improve
ment and betterment is concerned.

the carriers involved in this proceed

A SAD PLIGHT.

The other day 1 saw an old couple
set out of doors because they were IN
able to pay their rent. "Brute Of q
landlord" hear you say. But no, you
are wrong. The landlord, too must live
this hard, cold winter. He Is not a
rich man. He cannot live without the
rent from his fats. he has waited as
long as he could before asking the old
couple to move. How his wen cared
for features contrast with the pinehed
and shrivelled faces of his tenants.
Yet, years ago, knew both couples.
Both were prosperous, both lived in
comfortable homes. Yet there was this
diferenee-One paid rent, the other paid
the same amount on a home, paid it
without stinting himself too much, with
out foregoing any of the pleasures of
ife-Tather, his pleasures were increase
ed by one Of which the other knew moth
ing-the joy of possession. This feel
ing of possession will round out your
life, insure a comfortable old age, and
it is easily obtained. Simply let your
rent apply toward a home. It win not
be long, and after you have paid your
money out like rent, it will still be
yours. For instance, a modern fat
building in the Forty-eight block on
langley Avenue brings in s1,512 each
year. 1t is selling at $1,000, so you
see the rent viii pay for this place in
less than six years, and after that you
viii have $l,5l2 q year to do with as
you please. That Is better .han the
pOorhouse, or dependency on a relative,
for neither is pleasant. There are many
other bargains in real estate on all the
popular streets, and in all sections of
the city. We have some rare bargains
on Forest, Wabash, Prairie, Green,
Eberhart, Kenwood, and other exclusive
residence districts. We invite you to
call and let Us tell you about them.

or call personally. You can nominate
yourself or some friend that you would
like to see win a $500 automobile.
The nomination counts 5000 votes and
starts you on the way to success.
There is a coupon in each issue Of
The Broad Ak that counts ten votes.
Ask your friends to clip these coupons
out of their paper and vote for you.
Also we allow 1000 votes on every sub
seription paid for one year. If friend
of yours wants to pay a years subscrip-
ton to The Broad AK $4,000 he can
get 1000 votes for you by so doing.
You can see that the fastest way for
you to get votes is to 60 to your
friends and tell them that you are in
The Broad Ak Contest and that you
want their subscription and their votes
in order to win the 1900 automobile.
BY referring to the scale of votes pub
Iished below you will see that a sub
seription for two years counts very
much more than two subscriptions for
one year each, and you will find that
many of your friends will give you
more than one years subscription so
that you may have the great advantage
of the extra votes.
A stin better way for you to get a
great many votes easily and quickly
is to get advertising from merchants
where you and your friends trade.
Many of the merchants would be glad
to advertise in The Broad Ak because
it would pay them to do so. They viii
readily give you $500 or $1,000 to pay
for advertising, and this money paid
for advertising counts at the same rate
as the subscriptions. A $1,000 adver-
tisement would count for you the same
as a fve-year subscription, that is,
$4,000 votes.

BIRMINGHAM ALABAMA, CAP
TUREs THE BAPTIST SUNDAY
SCHOOL CONGRESS.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. II, 1914
Among the important items transacted
at the National Baptist Publishing
Board meeting yesterday was the
awarding of the 1915 session of the
Sunday School Congress to Birming-
ham, Alabama, to be held June GA.
Close and spirited was the contest be-
tween Memphis, Cincinnati, Chicago,
st. Louis, New York City and Bir
mingham. There were several meet
ings of the Board with numerous con-
ferenees, together with telegrsphic
communications with some of the
cities, before the officials could decide
the winner. The result of Birming-
hams victory at the conclusion of the
meeting was announced by Rev. Henry
A. Boyd, the Congress secretary, who
stated that Birmingham had won be-
cause she started in time, having al
lowed her invitation which was ex-
tended last year to 60 over for this
year and be repeated for 1915. While
the meeting was in session at Beau
mont, Texas, last June the Ministers
Conference of Birmingham telegraphed
an invitation and then backed it up
by similar one after the adjournment
of the Texas meeting.
The meeting in 1915 will be the
tenth annual session of this gathering
of Sunday-sehool workers and is e1-
peeted to draw largely from all Sec
tions of the United States. The Beau
mont meeting drew from twenty-eight
states and had an attendance of about
$500. It is understood that the Bap-
fist Minister'S Conference Of Birming-
ham, Rev. J. W. GoOdgame, president,
and Rev. ]. D. Kent, secretary, with
the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association, Of
which Birmingham is a member, Rev.
S. n. Hall, moderator, and the Ala
hama Baptist State Convention, Rev.
J. II. EasOn, president, have appointed
q committee already to begin work.
This committee, having met and or
ganized, is as follows: J. W. Good
game, s. N Hall, 7. W. Walker, W. L
Boyd; J. II. Kelly, chairman, and J.
d. Kent, secretary.
The date Of the 1915 Congress will
be from Wednesday, June 9th, to Mon
day, June 18th, inclusive. There are
eight departments or sections of this
Sundsy-sehool movement, which repre-
SCENTS twenty-five thousand Sunday
schools and one million five hundred
thousand scholars. The officers are:

rector; C. h. Clark, chairman, and
Henry A Boyd, secretary. In eonnee-
ton with the meeting this year it is

SEES coLoRED RACE ABSORBED
MIDWAY PROFESSOR PREDICTS
INTERVIEWING WILL SOLVE
THE NEGRO PROBLEM. PROCESS
UNDER WAY.

In the final summing up, after thou
sands of years, there will be no pure
white race in America, nor will there
be a black one, in the opinion of DR..
George Burman Foster of the Univers-
ity of Chicago, who spoke last Sunday
night at the Grace Methodist Episcopal
church.
"Man has been thought of in many
ways throughout the ages" he ex-
planned. "He has been considered an
angel by some, an intellect by others,
and nowadays they are coming to think
of him as a toiler engaged in perform
ing the work of the world. To him
there can be no sharp distinctions of
race and color.
Held by Many Thinkers.
"For this reason the idea, unpopular,
to be sure, but still indicated by the
facts, that the races in American are
matchmaking is not unweleome to
many thinkers. Let me give you an
example: A year ago at public gath
ering 1 addressed an audience which
was one-third unquestionably Negro,
another third unquestionably white, and
the rest somewhere in between.
"That simply goes to show that we
are now part way along in the process,
which 1 do not hesitate to say will be
accomplished in time. The black race
is to be absorbed.
SIN fact, the thing will not be so
repellant in a few hundred years as it
is now," he said. GAS it is, those who
say the relation between whites and
blacks is a symptom Of mental defect on
the part of the whites fail entirely to
consider that times without number the
scions of our best southern families
have shown signs of such degeneraey.
How Colors VIII Blend.
els it not more reasonable to expect
that as time goes on the more cultured
blacks will more or less naturally in
termingle with the least cultured whites
in the south until eventually the whole
process viii have been completed and
our race will have absorbed the otheri
Surely, there is every reason to believe
that that condition will result"
Prof. Foster declared that all the
solutions to the Negro problem which
have been offered thus far are made
quate. He scored especially the theory
of geographical segregation.
