a Hint Tint Cut Two Ways.

In this column last Sunday was a
mint thrown out to hotel men in the
smaller cities and towns in which a
travelling man was quoted as saying
depicting unsanitary conditions and
such hostlcrics Here is another hint
given by another travelling man. So
Tar as Virginia Is concerned there is
a stringent law on the subject II is
entitled:
AN act to regulate the conduct and
equipment of hotels, to provide for
the Inspection thereof. and penalties
for violation of the provision hereof"
and tells just how hotels shall be kept

also makes the travelling men and
other patrons of the hotels semi

to prove that the Virginia hostlcrics

that they do their complaining "anon;-

There has been Il great hue and cry
among the farmers OF Virginia and
throughout the South. especially among
the truckers, and city men. who own
big farms and cultivate them by proxy,
about the scarcity Of potash, caused BY
the European war cutting off such n
large part OF the usual supply. Prcsi-

lima Chemical Company, who is an an
thority en- this subject, has been inter

SELF GOVERNMENT

Lawrence Kan. Sept. 29.-The
right of the American ;nGIan to have
a voice in his own government was
voiced Tuesday night by Arthur c..
Parker secretary OF the Society OF
American Indians, in an address be-
fore the convention of that organi-
zation in session here. Mr.. Parker
is a Seneca Indian.
A review of the different phases
of human activity, arts and science
was made in which the Indian was
declared to be no negligible factor.
Outstanding figures in every walk Of
life were presented and the question
was asked if these Indian men and
women should not be competent to
act as a board of review in the CON
sideration Of Indian affairs and the
future of the Indian race.
IF the combined voice of these
men and women organized in this
society is but idle tanl and not wor.
thy of consideration, there is no hope
now for the Indian and never will be-,

of the Presbyterian church in the

here today to take up problems of the

The Rev. James +. Clark, ID. D., of

poses. Two questions which he thought
should be answered by the body be-
fore its adjournment, he declared,
were: What are our obligations and
our opportunities as denomination in
view of the situation and problems in
the southern district and what are
the right and wise denominational poll
cies to be pursued in order to dis
charge our obligations and meet our
opportunities? And how can our local
churches be made more efficient that
each may take its part in working out
the right and wise denominational
policies which the situation calls for?"
