! before such gathering here, and he
brought out several striking points in
! the development Of the colored race
since their freedom from bondage.
Mr.. Clarke said in part:
AT the close Of the Revolutionary
war the emancipation Of the slaves
was voluntary on the part of the peo-
pies living in the Northern states, but
Il few were retained by the southern
| population. Slavery soon became a
sectional issue; institutions grew side
by side, one for freedom, the other ia
voring serfdom But in this the rule
, OF nature held true and the strong was
10 overcome the weak.
| Hence. the Civil war and the ulti-
! mate overthrow Of slavery. Slavery
i is morally wrong, politically wrong.
and was never destined TO exist in a
country capable of such lofty political
doctrines as expressed in the DeClara-
! ton Of Independence and the Consti.
tuition OF the United States.
Progress Of the Race.
"Sincc 1865. the progress Of the COL
orcd people has justified the entire
list of. the predictions made by the
leaders Of the anli.Slavcry movement
and in the United States today they
are contributing 10 the protection and
the prosperity of the country"
In conclusion, Mr. CLARKE said:
Charles Evans Hughes. Republican
candidate for president, stands for
equality Of opportunity for I'LL Ameri.
cans regardless Of race and | regard
him in many respects as the wisest
and strongest candidate since the
days OF Abraha Lincoln"
President Wilson's policies Of seq
regation and. discrimination were con-
demned by the speaker and the belief
was expressed that the election Of
Charles Evans Hughes was Il fore

Mr.. Wilson could have forced

it, and no amount of fair promises on
the eve of a national election will have
any effect on a woman who does any
thinking.
Neither he nor his party favors wo-

only 30 per cent of the democrats in
congress were for it, while 60 per cent
of the republicans favored it.
The only hope the women have of
the adoption of the Anthony amend
ment is through the election of Mr..
Hughes and a republican congress.
Being a southern democrat, l dislike
to say this, but l feel that it is only
too true.

POWER PRODUCTION.

Compressed Air Magazine
Remarkable Extent to Which Recpro =
eating Machinery Replaced Rotary.
Perhaps the most marked feature
in the history of power production
has been the replacing Of reciprocating
machinery by that of rotary type. The
steam turbine has invaded and cap
tured a considerable portion of the
fields of usefulness of the reciprocal
ing steam engine. The centrifugal
water pump has replaced the recipro-
eating pump; rotary condenser aux
iliaries are rapidly superseding reci-
procating plant, and rotary air blowers
and compressors have entered into
successful contest with reciprocating
compressors. The principal factors
which have decided the issue in favor
of the rotary plant are: Small space,
excellent balance, and low first cost
and maintenance. In the case of the
steam turbine there is the important
additional advantage Of using steam
which otherwise would be wasted,
