grow more and more sorry for.
"We've not only got mntiny

Do you want to stand for that? Or

Unrufiled as usual, he had nothing

"Take this cord, then" ordered

black hull was now white as q dove |;
and. In that soft golden water, hardly

And then Theodore came up to me,

AGAINST "JIM CROW RAILROAD CARS

States was urged by Representative
Madden of Chicago (portrait herewith)
before the house committee on inter-
state and foreign commerce the other

introduced by him in general railroad
legislation. A delegation from the
Colored American council, which spon-
sors the bill. was present.
Representative Sanders Of Louisi-

BRYAN FINDS 1920 GETTING NEAR

William Jennings Bryan is back In
the public eye again, this time in the
role Of assailant Of the National Sc
curity league. He finds his ammuni-
ton in the report of the special COM
mittee to investigate the National Sc
curity league, submitted to the house
of representatives on March 3. 1919.
The house of representatives adopted
the report Of the committee. Mr..
Bryan says this report should be read
by every voter, because we are ap-
preaching the campaign Of 1920. He
says in part:
Here we have It; the secret Is
out. The men connected with the
league as supporters or officials rep
resented almost every predatory In
terest and favor-seeking corporation.
The questions indicated that the two
things uppermost In the minds Of

SOLVING The LEISURE HOUR PROBLEM

When the leisure hour problem
has been solved the spirit OF Industrial
unrest will disappear. This Is the
theory on which the community serv-
ice, incorporated. an outgrowth OF the
war camp community service, is pro-
ceedIng in its national campaign. Or
ganlzation has been completed for ILL
nois and plans for the establishment
of the work are under way.
in correcting the apparently un-
friendly relations between capital and
labor, community service believes 1t
can perform valuable work by re-
viving the neighborhood spirit" say
the leaders. This can be done BY
teaching the foreign born the lessons
of Americanlzation, directing the leis-
ure of the people along instructional
and educational lines, finding stlmu-
lating substitute for the disappearing
saloon, furnishing gathering place

elaborate services as usual are plan

During the week, the same organ
ization which was of such vital i'm
potance in putting over the
Methodist Centenary drive, has been
busy calling on the membership of
the church and ins sting that every
member be present at Epworth on
the goth, at Sunday school, Epworth
League and both preaching services.
Special musical numbers will fea-
ture the services Christ is Mighty
to Save" and The Old Time Relig-
ion," will be sermon subjects. In
all probability the capacity of the
church will be tested by the crowds
present. The Rev. Homer Knox, the
pastor, sent by the last conference
to this point, from New Bloomfield.
Pennsylvania, is creating the great
est enthusiasm among the members
and friends of his church both over
the new building project and the
intensive spiritual sermons which he
is delivering.
