PHILADELPHIA, Pa, September TO-
Woman suffrage was Endorsed and a. plea

was made in the annual address of Rev.
E. c. Morris. president of the national
Baptist convention, at the opening session
of the organization here yesterday. THE
suffrage movement had its foundation in
the fact that taxation without representa-
ton Is unjust, and no class or race is bet

with such a movement than the colored
people," declared Mr.. Norris.

there it will continue to spread to all
sections of the country until the negro
men shall be elected to Congress and
speak for themselves.

The democrats of Delaware recall

nomination of President Wilson and
that they steadfastly supported him on
every ballot. Their confidence in him

by Congress for government participa-

appropriation as available for the salaries

bursting officer If desired. but that the

found themselves at Lake Constance, in
Switzerland. Ministers from all parts

in the United States. Many of these di-

NEVER A PLEASANT FEELING
Nervousness May Affect Different Peo-
pie In Different Ways, But II Is
Never a Welcome Visitor.

The mental state of person sui
fering from nerves" is very much
like that of man who is wanted by
the police, or who has just heard a
rumor that the ship on which his wife
and children have sailed has been
sunk in a collision, or who has cried
fire" in a theater and been thrown
out, and knows his name has been OBJ
tanned by the reporters. Very often it
is a combination of all three, with per-
haps the added sensation of a man in
doubt if he closed the safe before leav-
ing the Office.
Perhaps some sufferers will disagree
with this and say it is not like that at
all, but rather like having fallen into
a dry well, from which you can hear
the voices of people passing near by,
but are unable to make yourself heard,
or like having accidentally shot your
neighbours only child while cleaning a
revolver.
The point is that it is distinctly I'm.
pleasant.
Any bad quarter of an hour that you
may have experienced of uneasiness,
anxiety, guilt, remorse or mortifica-
ton will give you very fair idea of
the chronic condition of the so-called
neurasthenic. A good nightmare will
help.
There is nothing about this in the
books. There the symptoms are de-
scribed as loss of interest" inability
to concentrate" extreme depression"
feeling of numbness in the extremi-
ties" etc. In way this is true; just
as it would be true of the men referred
to above. The man wanted by the po-
lice would take little interest in the
shop windows, and the man who thinks
far with letter arranging the details
of business reorganization; and as
for the man thrown out of the theater,
he would probably admit, if brought to
it, that he was profoundly depressed.
None of these individuals would feel
that the books quite did justice to
their feelings. And it goes without
saying that none of them would re-
spond with enthusiasm if brisk per-
son came along and said: What you
need is to get your mind off yourself"
or, What you need is plenty of fresh
air and exercise"
The main thing is that the nervous
victim is suffering severe mental dis
tress. He is not simply "out of sorts"

Wars Effect on Youthful Minds.

What impression is this terrific war
upon the childs mind?
What do the boys and girls think of
the confiagTation that is raging and
of the battles that are waging?
Perhaps the small children have no
thought upon the subject at all, but
The older children, who are reading
stories of ancient heroes as if they
were myths or fairy tales, and study
ing history bristling with wars of past
generations, which would ordinarily
lead them to believe that war was
relic of barbarism. and impossible be-
tween modern civilized nations, what
do they think? Is this terrible con-
flict to upset all their notions and sub
vert many of their ideals? Is this sys-
tematic slaughter of warning armies
likely to cheaper the value of human
life as appraised in youthful minds?
These are questions, to be true, cas-
lily asked and hard to answer, but they
suggest trend something for their
elders to ponder over.-Omaha Bee.

the term war is hell in any of his or

use the term in a public address at a
soldiers reunion at Columbus, O., IN
1880. The writer was seated near the
speakers stand and recollects the &C.

preston from the general. General
Sherman, in his address, referred to a
particular military feat which called
ION part of the troops selected to per-
form the task assigned them for
heroic courage to accomplish the task
