THOUGHT NEGRO DEAD
So Janitor at Court House. Got As Far
Away as Possible.

"BilP' Slavins, a healthy young ne
gro was in the court hourt today to
answer to some minor charge and was
cached in the marshalS office Tor an
hour or more alone. The sunshine
streamed in an east window and fell
on Bill who had his chair tilted back
against a radiator.
The combination of sunshine and
nothing to do soothed William TO sleep
and his head fell back. Judge Lee
saw him and thought for q moment
he had found a dead man. He hunted
up an old revolver, saw that there
were no cartridges in it and placed 1t
upon the chest of the siumbering Bill
Then he hunted up Thompson, aged
colored janitor at the court house.
Thompson" said Lee, I'm afraid
we will have to ask you to help us
move a man out of our office. He
appears to have had a fit of some
kind"
Thompson's knees might have trem-
bled slightly but not visibly. He took
his bucket and mop with him and
walked to the door of the office. Ev-
erybody else stepped back and let him
step in. He took one look. hit himself
| in the back with his bucket and mop
and beat it. AS he went he told va
| rious members of the office force
what he thought of them, of men with
fits and dead men. He went to the
second floor, to the first floor and or
to the basement without hesitating
There is no sub-basement in the
| courthouse.

THOMAS JEFFERSON.

Today is the anniversary of the birth
of Thomas jefferson, writer of the
Declaration of Independence and sec
ond president of the United States.
William Sampson was an Irish pa
triot who. after exile in Europe, finally
obtained asylum in America. where
he published an account of his troubles
with the British government in book
entitled THE Memories of William
Sampson" 1t closes with "A Few OBJ
servations of the State of Manners,
etc, in America" in the form of a
satirical letter to Lord Spencer, the
British home secretary. In this
Sampson presents a quantity humor-
Gus sketch of Thomas jefferson, who
was president at the time. The passage
is reproduced in american Debate"
a history of political controversy in
the United States. written by Dr.
Marion Mills Miller, and recently pub
lshed by G. p. Putnam's Sons, New
York. 1t reads as follows:
AS to the government: at the head
of it is an old country philosopher. 1
wish your lordship could get sight
of one of his shoes, with quarters up
thongs He has neither chamberlain
nor vice chamberlain, groom of the
stole nor of the bed chamber. master
of the ceremonies, nor gentlemen
usher of the priVy chamber, nor black
rod. nor groom. nor page of the privy
chamber. nor page of the back stairs,
nor messenger to his robes-he has
no robes-nothing but red breeches,
which are now a jest and thread
bare one. ., He will talk with any
body. like the good-natured Vicar of
Wakefield. If the stranger talks better
than him. he is willing to learn; and if
he talks better. he is willing the
stranger should profit. He is a sim
pie gentleman every way, and keeps
his own conscience, and. pays his
own debts. and the nations debts, and
has boarded up eight millions and a
half of dollars in the treasury. Your
lordship will smile at such an oddity.
We do all we can to shake him
we do all we can to VeN hifu-we do all
we can to remove him. He is like a
shaken-he will not be VeXed-he will
not be moved. If he gets up. we say
he is too tall If he sits down. we say
he is too short. If we think he will go
to war. we say he is bloody. If we
think he is for peace, we say he is a
coward. If he win not prosecute, we
say he has no energy. If he executes
the law. we say he is a tyrant.
think, my lord. with great Difference
that a good London quarto might be
written and thrown at his head. He
has no guards nor battle-axes, and
lodges all alone upon his old horse
from the presidents house to the cap
itol. There might be an engraving &c
show him hItching his bride to a peg
The reference in "a good Londor
quarto'' is to an anti-American book
written by a Mr.. Parkinson after q
short tour of the United States. The
account of President Jefferson'i
hitching his saddle horse to a peg ir
front of the capitol lends confederation
to the story. discredited by later his
torians that he rode in this demo
cratic fashion to his inauguration.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1917-04-13

If the people of the United states
be honest in their expression of de-
termination to stand by the president
if they be eager and anxious to serve
their country on the field OF battle OF
elsewhere, why this opposition TO rals-
ing an army by draft? What dlfter-
ence can it make how man gets into
the army so he gets in? President
Wilson believes the best way to raise
fighting force quickly, is thru selectlve
conscription. He has studied the
question and should know what Is
needed Anyway he is the respon-
sible head of the government and the
army and should be permitted to nave
a free hand. He is in intimate touch
with the situation and probably knows
more about it than does anybody else.
Argument is productive of unneces-
sary delay. While we haGgle, Europe
is bleeding and much of it starving.

INTERNATIONAL
SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY w. 7. ELLIS
BY w. 7. ELLIS

There is no standing still for the flock
of Christ They are not Gagged crea-
lures in a park. They go in and out
and find pasture. when they follow
him. Life is large and enlarging;
varied a d abundant, when the shep-
herdship of Jesus IS accepted. In the
gravest and greatest times, such as
we are now witnessing, the leadership
of the Coco Shepherd Is adequate; ne
will lead his flock into new, sweet
pastures thru all the Scared and
bloody paths of war.
One other truth about the Good
Shepherd is that he lays down his life
for the sheep. That is the supreme
test of love and loyalty. Let us tarry
for a moment to consider the millions
who have been gloriously meeting it
in the past three years. Men of most
of the nations of the earth have given
this last full measure of devotion:
they have laid down their lives for
the cause and country they loved. We
are too prone to listen to the Shrek
ings of sentImentalists who think that
the loss Of life is the worst thing in
the world. They stay at home and
spend money (usually other peoples
money! in propagating the craven
creed that physical hurt is the SUI
preme evil; and that life is to be pre-
served at all costs. Rather let us heed
the unboasting practice of the millions
mothers. wives and sweethearts-who
have deliberately and definitely offered
their lives on the altar of love and
loyalty. In the light of our own day,
we read new significance into the words
of the Good Shepherd, Therefore
doth the Father love me, because 1
lay down my life"
n Man as Il Door.
When l travelled thru India, my SER
want would every night curl up at the
door of my room and sleep. Nobody
could enter OF leave except by step
ping over him. The fact Eliminates
the figure of the Good shepherd, that
he himself is the door of the sheep.
Shepherds sometimes close the en-
trance to the sheep fold in this same
fashion. The imagery is perfectly
clear to an oriental: there is no en-
trance into the fold of Christ except
by Christ himself. That is the cardi-
nal truth stressed by the Reformation,
the four hundredth anniversary of
which is being kept this year. No
church, no creed, no minister and no
council can save a soul: the only door
into life is by Christ himself.
In the face of Jewish ecclesiasticism
Jesus uttered this. The leaders of the
Jews had communicated the blind
man whom the Master had healed. The
comfort Christ gave him was What
matter? They really have no author
ity. 1 alone am the door. There is
no entrance except by me-
Men love thee, serve thee, praise thee not,
The Master praises-what are men,
/ Life for the Christian is wholly A
matter of loyalty to Christ. The great
truth of spiritual independence under
lies the figure of the Good Shepherd.
/ By him, and by him alone, we find
| life. A Christless creed leads only to
barren pastures. But all who hear his
voice-and he says his sheep can
recognize his tones, even when they
are heard in the guise of strange
providences-find the green pastures
of succulence and safety and satisfac-
ton.
