TOURIST
 TRAVEL |S
 PREDICTED

Washington, Dec. 2S.-That there appears in no department Of the government an intention to curtail railway passenger service. particu- larly in the West, during the con- ing summer, and that all indica- tions point to an abnomally heavy tourist travel to the national parks, are the conclusions of Herbert Cuth- bert, of Seattle executive secretary of the Pacific Northwest Tourist As sociatiCn, after two days spent here n consultation with govern ment officials.
 The bureau of national parks, pointing to a record-breaking at tendance in the parks last summer, is preparing for a still larger Ftsi- tation next summer. It and its chlef, Secretary Lane, Ire conVlnceu that no real war purpose would be achieved by attempting to limit Western passenger travel and will use their endeavors to promote rather than retard it. Tourist agen- cies, however, in view of the dis turbed railroad condition, are still a bit timid about the situation. When that situation settles some announces ment in regard to a policy of plac- ing no restrictions on tourist tray el may be expected from the au- thorities who are handling the rail ways.
 All of which means that the chances are good for more Eastern CTS visiting the far Northwest next year than ever before.

MORE ABOUT
ROGER WILLIAMS
Swallowing Negro BapttSts
of Tennessee

The intention of an act is usually
determined by the means or instru-
ment used in performing the act. (To
strike with the fist is called an assault
but to use a deadly weapon is and as
soult with intent to commit murder.)
WE ALL KNOW AND NO ONE
knows better than the transferees,
that ROGER WILLIAMS as a cOrpor-
alton, cannot be controlled by the
state convention, unless the state
grants an amendment to their
charter, so as to give the convention
that power, no matter what the deed
of transfer says on that point. If the
word control" meant anything in the
case, the Missionary Baptist State
Convention being the only regular
orthodox Baptist Convention in the
state, would unquestionably have that
right. But under the present circum,
stances, we could not if we would and
would not if we could.
Without recognizing the rights of
all the Negro Baptists in the state.

HONOR PAID
ROSCOE c. SIMMONS
Praises Him--A Great
Meeting
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
Marion, Ind, January l5.-The
greatest honor ever paid a Negro by
the white people of this state was
paid Roscoe Conkling Simmons yes
terday. In the great Booker T. Wash
lngton Memorial meeting, held at the
City Auditorium, white people of
wealth and social standing joined the
colored people in a remarkable ova
tion.
The great orator spoke on "Wash.
ington the Second the first Ameri-
can" Thousands hung upon his
words, and he advanced the cause of
his people before the white people of
this section in a way hard to esti-
mate.
Some idea Of the importance and
character of the meeting may be had
from the official address to the peo,
pie from the Mayor of the city as
printed in all the daily papers. 1t
read:
