EDISON AND BURBANK.

Those two names will live in memory when most other names now current will be forgotten The other day the men who boar them and made them uetriors mot " S"amono as Edison on train San Francisco passed through there.
 The oIecrctv wizard and the plant wizard shook hands. It was the time they had each other though they had corresponded
 After their greeting Burbank said "Edson and are greatly alike He trying tricks and am Like me, he succeeds about out of every thousand times work with things of nature and he improves nature"
 Much obliged to you, Mir. Burbank!
 Those words are precious 'Iike me he succeeds about once out of every thousand times"
 That's why Edison and Burbank are names that shine
 Therein lies the secret of success.
 Persistence!
 How many embryonic Burbanks and Edisons have fallen by the wasd they had not and faith enough to persist after thousand failures!
 Thank you agan, MT. Burbank

 The task undertaken by the Dollar Christmas is to collect money for shoes boots and clothes winch are most urgently needed and for which special money must be provided The necessity is appalling because at the present time there roughly 35OOOOO desti- tute people in Belgium and the number increases as the winter approaches. The Belgans are unable to buy shoes. boots and clothes themselVes-manv even of the former wealthy in the daily bread line.
 This year, as last our fund has the warm approval and valued cooperation of committee of representa- tive citizens, including Col George Harvey, Dr. Will fam T. Holnaday Victor F. Lawson, Adolph $. Ochs, Prof Henry Fairfield Osborn, William c. Reick, Mel vile E. Stone Oscar & Straus George T. Wilson. All our workers honorary and all money collected will be expended by the American Commission for Relief in Belgium. No better guarantee can be given that every penny subscribed will be wisely spent MT. Percy Bulen of 66 Broadway, New York, has again undertaken the office of secretary.

forbade their appearance here.
A representative at the Board of Cen

that the board often reconsiders its ac-
ton He declined to say why the pic
lures were condemned, but at the office of
the U. B. o. Feature Film Company, 2g7
North 18th street, which directs the pro-
duction of the pictures, 1t was learned
that they were condemned under section
OF the censorship act.
Charles j. Kraus, general manager Of
the film company, said that the act for

again!

lenge offering IS to any suffragist or other
person who can name correctly the page
and volume of the History of Woman
Suffrage" from which number of quota
tions have been taken. The anti-suffra-
gists are bent on proving that suffragists
are woefully unacquainted with one of
their best-known works. On the other
hand the suffragists say that the chal-
lenge of the "antis" is not fair. because
no one can be expected to carry in ones
head the pages where certain passages
are to be found.
Miss Florence Hall, the challenger and
an avowed anti, said that all that was
necessary to answer the challenge cor
rectly was to read the suffrage volumes
and make occasional notes.

premium on reading the work." she said,

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1e-Men have

That is the opinion of the Rev. Olympia
Brown, president Of the Federal Suffrage
Association Of the United States. in con-
ventlon here today.
I'VE must encourage our girls to study
for the ministry" said Mr.. Brown. Men
have been lured away from their duties
as ministers by ping pong, tennis and
pink teas. Today there is more Drawn
than brains in the pulpits and the women
must take their places
"Our men ministers today spend too
much time writing pretty essays that
will please parshloners. instead of in
sisting upon reform.
MANY of our ministers are Influenced
by rich. men in their churches. They are
afraid to attack child labor, white slavery
and other evils"

TO FIGHT FOR PARK SERVICES
Personal Prejudice Caused Lemon Hill
Order, Says Doctor Ely.

The fight by the Lemon Hill Associa-
tion to hold religious services in Fair
mount Park will be continued indefinitely.
The Rev, DIR. James B. Ely made this
assertion last night at the Lemon Hill
meeting on City Hall Plaza.
Members Of the Park Commission re-
FUSED permission to hold the services
there, he said, on account OF personal
prejudice. "The opposition to the serv-
ices" he added, has been reduced to
two men. Originally there were three,
but one has seen the wickedness of
such opposition. One member objected
because he disapproved of religious serv-
ices outside of consecrated buildings. Our
Saviour preached outside of consecrated
buildings, and when He returns to rule
over the world ! believe He will do so
outside of such buildings"
In conclusion Doctor Ely urged all to
pray that Czarism would cease in Phla-
delphia.
