TEACHERS COUNTY INSTITUTE.
Annual Sessions will Be Held During
Week Beginning Monday, NOvem-
Der Twenty-eighth.

WI lWshtJ -SiShIh'
After weeks of careful plan
ming and much correspondence
with Educational Bureaus, Coun-
ty Superintendent Thomas has
completed arrangements for the
annual county institute which
will be held during the week be-
ginning the last Monday in this
month.
For several years the County
Institute has been regarded as
the one great event of the Coun-
ty, and with the normal develop
ment of educational sentiment,
each year brings a more critical
demand for higher class instruc-
tors and entertainers.
Mr.. Thomas, by beginning
early, has been most fortunate in
securing high class talent both
for the day work, and the even
ing entertainments.
The day workers will be DIR. F.
H. Green, of the West Chester
State Normal; Prof. Harlan E.
Hall, of New Cumberland, O.;
DR.. Ezra Lehman of the C. V. S.
N. S., Thursday and friday,
and Prof. ]. W. Yoder, who will
have charge of the music. With
the exception Of Prof. Hall, the
other instructors need no intro
duction to Fulton County au-
dience, and Prof. Hall comes so
highly recommended that Mr..
Thomas feels that he has been
fortunate in securing his services.
DR.. Green is the lecturer for
Monday evening, and while he
is known all over the State as the
prince of entertainers, his wit is
evenly balanced with wisdom.
Of course, no series of enter
tainments would be acceptable
that did not include, at least. one
musicale. The combination for
Tuesday evening. is made up of
Miss Edith Hockerson, Miss Fay
Ingram, and Ethel Garten. Miss
Hockerson is known as the
Child Violinist" of Nebraska.
Her father was blind pianist;
her mother, a teacher of the
piano; her sister splendid pian-
ist, and her brother plays the
violin remarkably well. Miss
Garten is not only an accom-
plished singer, but possesses
rare gift as a reader. Miss In
gram lives in Kansas City, and
ranks as a star in a Dramatic
Club composed of more than $50
people. Wednesday evening DR..
William Rainey Bennett will give
his popular lecture, "The Man
Who Can." DR.. Benefits lect-
ure is great, is the verdict of ev-
cry one who hears it. DR.. Ben
nett started in life a poor boy on
a farm, pushed his way through
college and now has both fame
and money. He can tell you how
the trick is done.
Magic is one of the most anci-
ent forms of entertainment in an
cient history. When Moses per-
formed miracles at the court of
Pharaoh, the soothsayers came
forth, saw him, and went one
better (seemingly). So, on
Thursday evening, the audience
will be treated to a series of
mysterious performances by one
of the greatest of living wizards,
"Taber the Miracle Man."
Get your work in shape to take
a week off and attend every ses-
sion-day and evening-of the

frage amendment.
This was the first occasion ir
the history of the county that
the voters had the opportunity OF
extending to their wives, moth.
ers, sisters and daughters the
same privilege which they them
selves enjoy and which they re-
ceived through no effort on their
part.
Although we have long been
familiar with such terms as DE
mocracy" Liberty" Justice"
and Independence" they are
only farce to one-half of the
population of the United States,
who believe that Governments
should be founded on intelligence
and morality rather than sex,
and who are taxed without any
representation which is tyranny
Every great leader in Ameri-
can thought to-day favors Wo-
man Suffrage, and every man
who believes in justice favors it.
While our Amendment failed to
be approved in this state, we are
jubilant over the fact that thirty
three out of the sixty-seven coun-
ties gave US majority, proving
that Suffrage has not been de-
feated-only delayed.
We had many adverse factors
to take into account the Bosses
of both the Democratic, and the
Republican party by the we'll or
ganized liquor forces. the negro
element-which is usually under
machine control-and many 9TH
er opposing forces; but in spite
of all these, during the past
month four states have given the
amendment a million and a quar-
ter votes.
The small vote cast in our coun
ty for Suffrage can be easily ex-
planned by the fact that a large
majority of the voters had never
had the subject presented them.
AS an organization we were hand
icapped by lack of funds, which
is very essential to any new pro-
ject. 1t was a very unequal con-
test as we were not allowed to
vote for the issue we supported.
| cannot close this article with
out making special mention of
the "Stalwarts in Bethel town.
ship who gave our amendment
the only white spot in the coun-
ty.
Grateful to all the voters for
past support and thanking them
in advance for their cooperation
five years hence, | am yours,
for a square deal.

at some length with Mr.. Morley with.
out final decision being reached.
After hearing petition from John
Heikkila and others. that more time

EMERY TELLS ABERDEEN
some WHOLESOME TRUTHS
Businessmen at Hotel Washington Lunch, Listen
to IerSe, Pointed AphOrlSmS from the
National Manufacturers Attorney

Last Saturday noon luncheon at
the Hotel Washington was rendered
by the Aberdeen Chamber Of Com
merce and business men generally to
Colonel Geo. Pope. president Of the
National Manufacturers association.
and to James A. Emery, attorney for
the association.
Mr.. Emery was the speaker of the
occasion and it is questionable II
more able speech on the subject In
hand could well be imagined. He is
a speaker Of the first class. his ar
gument clear, his logic compelling
his presentation forceful, and the man.
ner in which he marshalled all the
varied phases of the great subject
was little short of marvellous.
Space forbids quoting his speech
in full, but the following terse state.
ments and aphorisms will give an
idea Of his subject:
mo matter how far apart we live
we suffer from the same causes"
"The problems in each section are
practically the same. and all found
together and brought about by in
dustrious development"
mot labor alone produced all the
advance"

all labor Is mine How about some.

they shall do it, and enacts laws re-

men,"
"A man is an American only when
he thinks and acts like one, not be-
cause he happened to be born in the
United States
I'VE have been going through a
miasma of insanity of law making
and law changing"
Think out problems fairly and
justly, not fight them out"
"A corporation is a combination of
various people for the benefit of all"
"A vast difference between motion
and progress"
mo man should ask for justice who
is not willing to grant Justice"
Mr.. Emery's speech was listened to
most attentively and punctuated lib
orally with applause, and much of
what he said can be safely followed
and agitated by business men, to
their benefit. The luncheon served
by the Hotel Washington was up to
its usual high standard.

mode of business is a menace.
The principal speaker of the eve-
ming was E. N. Sanderson. He spoke
quite feelingly of his high apprecia-
tion Of the kindly spirit of good will
which prompted the gathering, and
said he felt just like coming home"
He said he keenly felt the gracious.
ness of the occasion and surely felt
bully to think that he had been SO
kindly received. There was not
single tone of pessimism in his talk;
he said that neither he nor the dl.
rectors Of his company had lost faith
in the Grays Harbor towns, and that
as soon as the condition of business
would. permit they would extend our
street car system to the Willapa Har-
Dor country.
He proved conclusively that the

was done in back number and an
cient manner and that changes should
be made; suggested great central

board and said that their people
could quite easily be interested in the
proposition.
Mr. Sanderson's speech radiated op-
timism, good sense and clear cut
business. He proved that after the
war this country will be called on
for goods Of every description in
stupendous amounts, and that we
should be ready to supply our part of
1t. He said good word for our rail-
ways. in which thoughtful men coin

together, develop better forms of
salesmenship and reach closer to the
consumer before we could make prop.
er progress.
The speaker paid P. A. Bertrand,
local manager, very fine compli-
ment by saying that he recently offer.
ed him bigger position at a high
er salary but that Mr.. Bertrand re.
fused it saying that he would rather
stay in Grays Harbor. This announce.
ment brought forth much applause.
Taken altogether, Mr.. Sanderson's
rousing speech was "bully."

MOPS HIS FACE, ARRESTED

Had not a venerable "darky" mop

steamship Brooklyn last week, th
population of Chinatown would have

four cans Of opium.
The story came out when Com
missioner Gray, in the Federal Build.

don, a Mexican, for the grand jury
on a charge of smuggling Charles
Low and Charles Sing into this coun-
try from Mexico. Rendon, according
n the Cinnamon, slowed them away
in the storeroom Of the ship, and
when the Camaguey reached her piel
here blackened their faces and hands
put whiskers on their chins and sent
them ashore as seafaring Ethiopians
But the Cinnamon were warm, aho
as they slouched down the dock one
of them mopped his face with th'

Captain Claret reported to the com

time of the arrival at Halifax was
uncertain owing to the fact that the
steamer would have to slow up as il
neared the harbor.
