PRESIDENT WILSON
ASKED TO SPEAK
AGAINST MOB RULE

Inskegee Institute, Alabama, Oct.
i.--Dr. Robert r. Motion, Principal Of
Tuskegee Institute, gave out today a
sletfer which he addressed to President
Wilson on the subject Of lynching and
mob violence IN this country, in which
ne made the following statement:
~ want especially to call your at
tention to the intense feeling on the
part Of the eolored people through
out the country towards white people
and the apparent revolutionary atti-
tude OF many Negroes which shows it
self IN q desire to have justice 1t any
cost. The riots IN Washington and
Chicago and near-riots in many other
cities have not surprised me in the
east. ] predicted In an address sew
eral months ago, at the fiftieth ami
.yersary of the Hampton Institute, on
the second of May--ex- President Taft
and Mr.. George Foster Penbody were
.aresent at the time that this would
happen il the matter was not taken
hold of vigorously by the thoughtful
clements of both races.
Il think the time is at hand, and |
think Of nothing that would have
more salutary effect on the whole
situation now than if you should in
your own wise way, as you did year
ago, make d statement regarding mob
,aw; laying especial stress on lynch
ing and every form Of injustice and
|anfairness. You would lose nothing
by specifically referring to the lynch
ing record in the past six months;
many Of them have been attended
With unusual horrors, and it would be
easy to do it now because of the two
most recent riots in the North, nota-
bly,, Washington and Chicago. The
South was never more ready to listen
than at present to that kind Of ad-
vice, and it would have tremen-
dously stabilizing effect, as | have
said, on the members Of my race.
"You very probably saw the account
of the lyaehing In Georgia, Of an old
colored man seventy years Of age who
shot one Of two intoxicated white men
in hrs attempt to protect two colored
rirls who had been commanded to
,ome out of their home IN the night
ly these two men. The colored man
killed the white man after he had
been shot by one Of the white men be-
cause he had simply protested.
Il am enclosing the Iynching rec
ord for the past six months and an
editorial from the Atlanta Constitu-
tion, which strongly denounces mob
violence.
"With all kind wishes, and assuring
you of no desire to add to your bur-
dens, but simply to call attention to
what seems to me vital not only for
the interest Of the twelve millions OF
black people, but equally as important
for the welfare Of the millions OF
whites whom they touch, am,
"Very sincerely and gratefully,
"R. Il. NOTION

Use Of Metals in the War.

A German expert has been comptl-
ing some statistics of the use of metals
in the war. He says -that>if the iron
and steel used by Germany alone In
45 months, Of war were forged into n
ring which went round the equator.
each meter would weigh 80 hundred
weight. If the mass Of metal were
made into Wall along the battle
fronts-or $500 miles-a yard high
and yard thick. each yard would
weigh 200 hundredweight. Germany
sent to the front every week more
guns than were used in the whole OF
the Franco-P Prussian war. Twenty-fout
hours consumed more than did the
whole Of the earlier war. The moral
he draws is that such things were only
possible because Germany had been
wise enough before the war to con-
uuer the worlds markets and oust her
enemies.

HOME OF FAMOUS ORATORS
Eminent Men Who Have Occupied tho
Pulpit Of "Spureeon's Taber-
nacIe," London, England.

Commenting on DR.. A. c.. DixOn's
resignation of the pastorate of the
Metropolitan tabernacle. London, which
will probably be known to the end Of
time as "Spurgeon's tabernacle a
writer In the London Christian World
refers to some Of the emiHent men who
have occupied that pulpit in the past
Benjamin Reach. John Gill, John Rip
pom. and others-and gives the follow
ing interesting incident: Coming to
more recent days, 1t is just thirty years
ago since trustee Of the tabernacle
spoke to Spurgeon about an American
preacher named Dixon. who had
spoken at the worlds Sunday-school
convention. Spurgeon at. once invited
him to speak at the tabernacle. 1t Is
interesting to recall the fact that they
might easily have been associated long
before. DR.. Dixon's father. who sus-
tanned a pastorate Of nearly GO years
In church in a wood. in front. OF
which he is buried, thought Spurge"n
was the greatest preacher since Paul.
He longed for his son to have course
of study at Spurgeon's college. Young
Dixon sent in his application. Spur
geon's reply was: MY dear sir. You
can find institutions in your own coun-
try better adapted TO your case. Please
accept this as final" OF course. 1t was
in that way that the great preacher
tested the persistence Of his candidates.
A. G.. Dixon took him at his word. and
never applied again. He was. however.
destined to more than fulfill his fa-
ther'S desires. and following men like
Spurgeon. and A. G. Brown. he has
thoroughly maintained the tabernacle's
great traditions"

Microbes in Our Clothes.

Apropos Of the liability of demob-
i!ized soldiers to contract colds as
soon as they get into "civieS" a cor
respondent suggests chat probably the
civilian clothes are the cause, wheth-
er they be warmer than the uniforms
or not. Sir Ernest Shackleton had
something to say about this matter
on his return from the antarctic. Not
withstanding the intensely low temper
atures and almost incesSant blizzards
experienced, colds were quite unknown
until a bale Of clothing brought from
England was opened. The next day
there was az epidemic Of colds in the
party. and Sir Ernest's explanaron
was that the trouble was caused ny
microbes that had been alternating. as
It were, in the closely packed clothing
