the feeling and excitement caused
by the East St. Louis and Houston
troubles, the colored officers training
camp at Fort Des Moines won golden
appreciation all over the United
States, made thousands of friends for
the colored race and achieved glo-
rious success. 1t did all of this by
following precisely the advice that
was repeated to the 92nd Division in
Bulletin No. 80.
"By Their Fruits We Shall Know
Them"
Our enemies do not wish the
United States to have its military
power increased by colored soldiers,
and they stand ready to add fuel to
every race discord in order to en-
barrass our country as much as pos
sible in this war Is it any wonder
then, in view of what the enemy has
accomplished in the past and is seek
ing to accomplish again, that the
Commander of the colored Division
seeks to nip troubles in the bud, and
while prosecuting white men for
their offences against his soldiers,
urges the soldiers to do their part to
keep the peace and promote har-

JUNGLE JOE" AT 80.

Uncle Joe is 80. He is the oldest
member of congress in point of serv-
ice, and one of the oldest, if not the
oldest, in years. He first went to
congress in 1873, as member of the
Forty-third Congress, and has served
every term since except the Fifty
second and Sixty-third, in both of
which the democrats got his political
scalp. And he is a candidate for
reelection and will no doubt be
chosen. He has lived and served his
district through greenbackism, free
silverism and populism and number
of other isms and is pretty fair
working congressman yet.

asking his restoration to the right TO

The Court was OF the opinion that
the ends of justice had been met and
accordingly entered an order restor-

CHAMP cLARK's "TEAM WORK."

Champ Clark is nothing if not hui
morous. He laughed and joked and
smiled his way into congress and
when he became a statesman along
the line of least resistance, continued
his jocular way toward favor and
fame. In the presence of the more
serious problems of statescraft he re-
tanned his sense of humor. He was
from Missouri, but cared little to be
shown the serious aspect of questions
under discussion. So he joked and
shed light abroad to such an extent
that his charming personality" made
friends for him on both sides of the
chamber.
The more substantial rewards of
long tenure in office have been thrust
in his way at times, but always to
elude his grasp, When he sought the
presidency, his candidacy was regard.

IN LOVING MEMORY OF OUR BE-
LOVED MOTHER,
Who Departed This Life June 20,
1917

Mary Shannon.
She is gone but not forgotten,
Never shall her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts shall ever linger
Round the grave where she is laid.
We miss her,
Yes, we miss her everywhere;
Home is not what it used to be
Since dear mother is not there
She loved her children as her life,
And we loved her as we'll;
How much we loved each other true,
o, none but God can tell.
But why should we lament her loss
She heard our Fathers call;
And left us here to go to Him,
For He loved her best of all.
We shed our tears of tender love,
Our hearts are filled with pain;
For we shall never hear her voice
Nor see her face again.
o smile upon us from above,
Ask Cod to lead us through
The walls of life that we some day
May find our way to you.

RI. Mayfleld, the we'll known
lawyer, has been restored to the
practice of the law Wy virtue of an
order handed down by the Court OF
Civil Appeals, sitting at Knoxville,
Tenn.
1t appears that about six years ago
disbarment proceedings were insti-
tuted against r. L. Mayfeld and on
November 7th, 1914, a decree was
entered in the Court of Civil Appeals,
sustaining the lower Court in dis
barring him. The Supreme Court OF
the State refused to take jurisdiction
of the case, hence the decree OF the
Court of Civil Appeals was in full
force and effect.

of today is Sr. Wilson. The party
had not bred real politician, let
alone statesman, for decades. BY
accident it is forced to adopt a col
lege professor as its standard-bearer
and then that professor not only
bears the standard, but cracks the
whip. AS a politician he is so much
superior to the old party stock that
there is no comparison. And his
craftsmanship, while subject to cor
rection like all other fallible human
in this colossal time, is real. It's all
positively funny, using the term in
