HELP THE NEGRO IS
,PREHDENT'SADVICE.
In Conference With Educators
He Urges Country to Think
of Blacks

Washington, Dec. 15-Outlining his
attitude toward the negro, President
Wilson today told the University Com
mission on Southern Race Questions,
made up of representative of II
Southern colleges, "that our object is
to know the needs of the negro and
sympathetically help him in every way
that is possible for his good and our
good"
DR.. C. H. Brough of the University
of Arkansas, chairman of the commits
sion, told the President the commits
sion was organized to make an impair
tial study of the race question from
the standpoint of the negro's ecOno-
mic, hygienic, civic and moral better
ment. He said that very deep in
vestigation Of the subject was being
made, with the good of the negro al
ways in mind.
81 am very glad to express my sim
cere interest in this work and SYM
pathy with it," said the President in
reply to DR.. Brough. Il think that
men like yourselves can be trusted to
see this great question at every angle.
There isn't any question, it seems to
me into which more care needs 20 be
put or more thorough human good
feeling than this. | know myself, as a
Southern man, how sincerely the heart
of the South desires the good of the
negro and the advancement of his race
on all sound and sensible lines, and
everything that can be done in that
direction is of the highest value. 1t is
a matter of common understanding.
"Therc is a charming story told
about Charles Lamb. The CONVERSE
ton in his little circle turned upon
some men who were not present and
Lamb, who, you know suffered, said:
"T hate that fellow His friend
said: Charles, didn't know you knew
him. Lamb said: 4 don't. | can't
hate a fellow ! know
81 think that is very profound hui
man fact. You cannot hate a man you
know. And our object is to know the
needs of the negro and sYmpathetical-
ly help him in every way that is pos
sible for his good and for our good.
I can only bid YOU Godspeed in what
is very necessary and, great under
taking"

SIKESTON BARN DESTROYED
Horses Are Saved In Rlaze At o. ?.
Smiths Stable.

The o. p. Smith livery barn at
Sikeston was destroyed by fire Mon
day morning, and everything except
the livestock was lost.
The fire which was caused BY de-
fective fiue, was first noticed shortly
after 4 o'clock in the morning, and had
made such Roadway before its discov-
cry that all efforts to save the build
ing were futile.
There were a number Of fine horses
in the building at the time, and it was
with much difficulty that the animals
were saved. They seemed to be dazed
and did not want to be led to safety.
A number of them ran back into their
stalls after they had reached the open.
The heat became so intense that 1t
was impossible to save the feed, har-
ness and vehicles that were stored IN
the building. all of which was burned.
The loss totals several thousand dol
lars, and insurance covers about half
of It.

AUSTRIANS EATING MUTTON
War Comnels Soldiers to Consume
Sheen, Honest.

Rotterdam, Dec. 12-The war is
driving the Austrians 10 eat mutton.
This does not sound like a great hard
ship, but the Austrians have an aver
sion to the meat Of the sheep, though
it is common beast in their country.
A mutton propaganda has Just be-
gun in Vienna. Expectation of sheep
is prohibited and the patriots have
figured out that if mutton is fashion
able there will be saving in chicken,
beef, pork and other meats. A COM
miiteo has been formed to arrange {
mutton feast, at which the meat will
be prepared so appetizingly that ali
who attend will lose their dislike.
Literature is also being distributed.
Another oddly of war times is a
campaign against cats. The major
and corporation Of Bransbergla town
ship in East Prussia, have issued q
curious appeal to their people.
The district it seems, is over-sup-
piled with cats. The authorities think
they can thin out the surplus popula-
ton of cats and at the same time do
a patriotic act for the army in the
field. They call upon all loyal citizen
to shoot the cats and send the skins
as Speedily as possible to the Town
Hall. where the Mayor is to superin-
tend the dressing of the skins and
their conversion into mittens and
coats.
The Mayor adds a fantastic note to
his appeal by saying that as the cats
skins afford protection against rheum-
atism they will prove of great COM
fort and value to the soldiers.
A young Englishwoman who arriv-
ed at Metz on a holiday on the eve OF
the outbreak of war, has given an in
teresting picture Of life in this great
fortress city. Although not permitted
t oleave until a short time ago, she
was allowed to serve with the German
Red Cross and go about freely in the
city to do her work.
Five different times she saw the
Kaiser at the garrison church. He il
much grcycr than when the war be-
gan and appears worn Eith care.

Store.

Sing Wah and Ling Kong, two en-
ployes of Lee Don, the Chinese laun-
dryman, are anxious TO muss up
Japan. They announced yesterday that
they were ready to go to war, and the
only thing that is delaying their de-
parture is brace of krupp guns.
The two Celestians visited the Balm
Hardware store yesterday in an effort
to buy two Krupp guns of the largest
and most deadly types.
Leon Balm, explained that the store
did not keep krupp guns, and offered
to substitute weapOnespecially made
for duck shooting.

big Klupp gum" said Sing Wah.
"Chinee bloy been washee, washee

Sing Wah finally explained that he
and Ling Kong had decided to go back
to the Flowery Kingdom and drive the
Japs out. He said that the Mikado
was trying to steal part of China and
predicted war between the two cOun-
tries.
The two Cinnamon declared that
