zIing Letter to Col. A. E. Joab
Branding Commoner

"Blasphemous falsehood,' Islander
GUS as HE'LL" and UNANIMOUSLY false,
from controversy in
which Col. Theodore Roosevelt of Oy-
ster Bay, Col William Jennings Bry-
E. Joab of Tacoma are involved in
dictate the height and depth and
breadth of the feelings which have
been stirred in the breasts of the three
colonies. RI
1t all happened because of the Nln-
fortunate use by Col. Bryan of the
word "mollycoddle," in reference to a
statement alleged to have been made
by Col. Roosevelt In recent peace
address Col. Bryan was quoted in the
papers as saying "Col. Roosevelt
classes Christ With the mollycoddles. :"
Col. Joab. a friend of Col Roosevelt
wrote a scorching reply to the paper
denying Bryan's allegation as ''infa-
mously false" He also sent news.

Roosevelt, explaining the circum

attention to the further fact that any
condemnation OF my views, which Mr..
Bryan makes, from whatever source
he processes to derive it. is of neces-
sity an even stronger condemnation of
Washington and Lincoln. l have ad-
vocated this country preparing itself
in time CT peace to defend itself fropi

Washington used and in exactly the
spirit that Washington and Lincoln
showed. and in no other spirit. Mr.
Bryan can condemn Aay views only il
he condemns not only the views but
the actions of both Washington and
Lincoln. and furthermore, he con-
dennis the actions of all the men of
the Civil war, whether they wore the
blue under Grant or the gray Under
Lee. Furthermore it is to be remem-
bered that if Mr.. Bryan has any moral
justification for what he says against
war, it applies even more strongly
against any use of the police force to
keep order and restrain criminals.
Either his arguments are wholly with:
out justification, whether from the
standpoint of intelligence or morals,
or else he must advocate the abolition
of the police force in our great cities
and the refusal of man to defend
those that are dearest to him, or weak
and unoffending outsiders, from brutal
wrongdoing. This is the only position
he can take if he is both sincere and
intelligent. In other words. Mr.. Rry.
ans position as to the duty Of this
country not to prepare, itself to defend
its vital honor and interest by force of
arms can be accepted as sincere and
honest, only if he is willing to an
nounce that he believes that in pri.
vate life man should not forcibly
try to prevent his wife's face from be.

ing outraged. To take such a position
in private life hold to be an abhor.

With 20 applications already re-
ceived and all the plans laid for be-
ginning work the first of next week
the new nurses training school at the
Queens hospital bids fair to become
one of the most important depart
ments of the institution.
School will begin on Monday or
Tuesday of next week, under the di-
rection of Miss A. H. Collins, super
intendent of nurses and principal of
the training school. and will carry the
girls through three-year course.
$50 far we have received 10 appli-
cations from American girls" says
Miss Collins, and four applications
from Hawaiian girls. We are espe-
cially anxious that more Hawaiian
girls apply, and would like also a
large number of Chinese.
Il had hoped she says, that the
Hawaiian girls would be especially
anxious to have part in the school,
and to be members of the first grad
Mating class which will leave the in
stitution frll-fadged nurses in three
years. 1t has seemed to me that it
would be very appropriate to have a
large number of Hawaiian girls in
this class

dation for far greater work than i
is possible now to realize.
There are 10000 white people in tn.
state, ten years of ago or over, whe
cannot read and write, declared Mr.
Bond. These unfortunate people art
scattered all over the state, being
found in every county and ranging
in number from sixteen in Issaquena
to 1,044 in Jones county, and in pei
centage from $40 Of one per cent. in
Warren conuty to IL IL per cent. in
Tishomingo county.
Mr.. Bond gave four reasons which
in his belief are the causes of litter
acy in this state. First, lack of
schools, as result Of sparsely set
tied counties; second, conditions
brought about by the war and recon-
struction; third. very little hsed Tor
education in many sections; fourth,
indifference and ignorance Of the pes>
pie.
The first efforts to STAMP out ill.,
teracy were made by Mrs. Cora Viii
son Stewart, superintendent Of schoole
Of Rowan county, Kentucky, in Sep
tember 1911, and is now being carried
on in Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi
and other states.
The matter was first agitated in
Mississippi by the Club Women, who
in cooperation with the State Superin-
tendent of Education, secured the pas
sage of bill creating the Mississip-
pi Illiteracy Commission, without any
appropriation. Through the donation
of Mr.. Thomas, of Grenada, men,
Der Of the Commission, Miss Timber
lake was enabled to put the matter
befoer the teachers attending the
Summer Normals last summer.
Since that time Miss Elise Willing
ham has been employed as Field
Agent, at a salary Of SIS = month,
said Mr.. Bond.
Mr.. Bond declared that a number Of
small contributions have been made to
the cause through the efforts Of the
individual members Of the Commission
and others. He stated further that !
10000 Illiteracy Buttons have been
purchased and will be distributed to
Of education in county !,
and city schools in the state, teachers,
club women and college presidents, to !,
be sold for ten cents each on Hitter
acy Dad. It is hoped that in hits
way sufficient funds will be raised to
at least keep the work up to the STAN !
dard already set.
Mr.. Bond in conclusion pointed out
the necessity for quick, concerted &c.
ton on the part Of the club women
Of the state together with the schools
forces, for the advancement Of this
work. ~
