NEW YORK, Oct. 17.-American
King Alberts' tour of the United
States.
Though the king will meet many
financiers in his journey over the
country for the purpose of gaining
American credit for Belgium, to en-
able it to develop to the fullest extent
all the resources-consising of coal.
iron. steel, shipping and diamonds
and to rebuild the devastated region,
Albert intends also to get iabor's sug-
gestions on the subject.
Belgium does not want charity"
the king told the American corre-
spondents aboard the George Wash
ington. Belgium wants to rebuild it,
self but it will need help. 1t will re-
pay that help by working. We want
help from America.
This help can be given in many
ways. First, by the extension of
American credit to Belgium; second,
by the adoption of American indus
trial methods and systems to Belgian
industries: and third. by the aid of
American labor in showing how they
made such wonderful progress in
building up America, so that Belgian
workers can do the same"
The king intends to meet many of
Americas prominent labor leaders to
discuss with them suggestions as to
how Belgian labor conditions can be
improved.

Anthem to Fellow Men.
(St. Petersburg Times.)

(St. Petersburg Times)
Having made trip to Europe in
1900 and being at sea on the Fourth
Of July, James H. Green, a drummer
boy of the civil war endured the hu-
initiation of seing 664 Americans on
board fail to sing the Star Spangled
Banner. The orchestra carried the
air, but the Americans knew not the
words. The Englishmen aboard sang
their songs the Frenchmen knew
their own and seven Scotchmen re-
sponded with real strength. After the
experience those on board twitted Mr.
Greene with the remark that "Amer.
leans could make money, but they
had better cultivate more patriotism !"
Since that time Mr.. Greene has de-
voted much time to stimulating in
terest in the flag and the national
hymns by organizing Betsy Ross as
sociations in the public schools, CIV
ing diplomas to the students when
they learn the Star Spangled Banner
and America. When twenty in a
school are entitled to diplomas he
has been presenting to the schools a
picture of Betsy Ross, showing the
flag to George Washington, John Nor
ris and her husband.
Mr.. Greene finds very different
condition in the country in the new
generation for children generally
know these songs now and there Ia
less occasion for his propaganda
work.
While here. however, as a winter
visitor, having come from his home in
Brookline, Mass, five weeks ago he
took occasion to address the Central
Grammar school OF which Mrs. At
wood is principal and issued 1nS di-
plomas to the students addressing
them as follows:

ure that l come here today to present

PLATE was willing to let that gang
nail Jesus Christ to the cross to keep
their friendship and hold his job.
Plate was a stand-pat, free lunch
pie-counter, pliable plastic lickspittle.
rat-hole, tin horn weasel eyed. ward
heeling, grating, whiskey-soaked pol
itician, pure and simple.
1t wasn't the common people that
led the mob. 1t was the temple
thieves and the high priest, the eld-
ers, the scribes, the Pharisees.
| have often tried to imagine how
different the early history might have
been if there had been in Jerusalem
a great daily, string of popular
newspapers. Jesus would have been
the newspaper sensation of his day.
! know newspaper men as well as
anybody on this planet, and there is
no crowd so quick to detect a fraud
or that will rise more quickly and
stand by righteousness and loyalty
and sincerity than the newspaper
men.
Christ struck against the vested
wrongs of his day and his biting, sar.
castle epigrams and transparent sin.
certify would have won the heart of
every reporter in Jerusalem had they
been there.
Jesus at the time of His crucifxion
was mighty popular with the masses
The only way the miserable little
clique of politicians could escape the
wrath of the people was to railroad
Him through under cover of dark
ness.
Plate called for a basin of water
to wash his hands. If he had washed
his old, black heart at the same time,
he would have been a clean man.
When PLATE heard that Herod was
in town he was glad to get rid Of
Jesus, so he showed Him over to Her.
cd. Jesus answered the old fox nev-
er a word and they secured Him and
sent Him back to Plate.
II you are willing to forsake every
known sin, God will forgive you, but
you can't compromise the thing.
There is one enemy who keeps
Jesus Christ away from you tonight.
