heat and cold. Clothing was in
vented. Today the civilized
mortal must have clothes or
perish. Nature has turned over
one Of her jobs to man himself.
And then there is this matter Of
rudjerless ships. In the days be-

steering apparatus was lost in a
storm or collision, II was o trick

One Captain Rice. famous in the
annals of Pacific shipping. sailed
a rudderless ship right up to the
mouth Of harbor, dickered for
towage and then tainted the tug
boat master with his loss Of fat
salvage. The records are silent as
to what this skipper said, but no
doubt it raised the temperature
thereabouts.
The wireless has come in. Help

business of asking for il. The

LOVED ONE GONE TO REST


Ida Gertrude Metcalf was born in
Jones county, Iowa. January 18th
1859 and died at the Swedish Mis-
sion hospital in Omaha, Neb., July
%, 1919, aged 60 years, six months
and three days. When but child
she moved with her parents to
Greentop, Mo-, where she grew to
womanhood. In September, 1857
she was united in marriage to John
Wright of Moberly, Mo-, and from
there with her husband moved to
Clinton, Mo.
There with her husband she lived
and they were blessed with nine
children, all of whom were born
there in their little home three
miles west of Clinton, except the
eldest, one boy who died in infancy.
Her husband passed away in
1907 and after his death she came
to Iowa and has lived at North
Branch until God called her to live
with her loved ones gone on before.
She leaves to mourn her loss
eight children, % grandchildren
and two sisters, besides a host of
other relatives and friends. The
children were all 1t the bedside ex-
cept U. l.. Wright of Montana and
Ernest Wright of Kansas. E.
The six living children in Iowa
are as follows: Mrs. Harvey Lille
Mr.. Ewing Wright, Sidney Wright,
Mrs. Susie Lawler, Mrs. Grace
Schwab, and Mrs. Lille Zaiger.
Mrs. Wright united with the
Christian church when a girl and
lived a devoted worker to her
church until the church died, then
moving to Henry County, Mo-, she
with her husband united with the
Clinton Baptist church and when
Union Baptist chruch of North
Branch where she remained until
her death. We believe it can
truly be said she hath done her
best. She was taken to Omaha
and operated on Tor gallstones on
July 21st and passed away July
%, the main cause of her death be-
ing leakage and hardening Of the
arteries of the heart.
She rallied enough to say a few
encouraging words to those who
were there. Just before entering
upon the operating table she read
her Bible and prayed for her chill
dren to live so they would meet her
in that beyond where parting will
be no more. All the worry she
seemed to have was that she feared
the children would not live so as to
meet her in heaven.
She is gone but not forgotten.
Her body was taken to Missouri for
burial. There the funeral was
conducted by Rev. C. M. Truax, her
former pastor. The same pastor
baptised her and her deceased hus-
band and also conducted both of
their funerals. She was laid to
rest in Bethlehem cemetery beside
the remains of her husband and lit
tie baby.
The children wish to thank those
who assisted them during their be-
reavement, also those of the Union
Baptist church for the beautiful
flowers.

THE NEGRO PROBLEM

The difficulty arising from the
| proximity of two races so unlike as
! the whites and negroes living in
this country are not such as can be
settled in a brief time. The wis
est men of the country have devot-
ed much thought to the question,
and no one can claim to have found
solution of the problem. Nearly
all, however, are willing to agree
that the work of such schools as
the one conducted by the late
! Booker T. Washington are of great
value in helping the American ne
groes to find themselves in the life
of the country. The thought OF
| Mr.. Washington, as we understand
it, both from reading and from
hearing him speak, was to give the
people of his race economic indie
pendence above all, feeling that all
else they may desire or can hope for
is dependent primarily upon this.
Such economic independence cannot
be attained in a few years or even
in few decades. 1t is a long road
from the wilderness to affluence,
but ii is a road all peoples who
amount to anything in the world
have trod. 1t took the peoples of
northern Europe several hundred
years to emerge from the conditions
in which the conquering Romans
found them into those which sur
rounded their descendants in Amer
lea today, and the sblack man of
America must not expect the road
by which he shall reach the goal to
be smoothed out for him by others.
His establishment can come only
by processes of growth by which all
races and nations reach maturity
Imitation of the white race
among which the negroes Q find
themselves will be beneficial only if
ii is discriminating and basic. A
superficial parroting and copying
can only result in grotesqueness
which will bring contempt and ridi-
Guile. If the American negro is to
have a respected place in the life of
the world. it must be a place of his
own a place he has made for him
self, and not one in which he has
been placed by statute. 1t is the
duty of the white people among
whom negroes live to forbear when
tried by the crudities of an untut-
ored race among them and to re-
cognize that the responsibilities OF
the teacher are always greater than
those of the pupil.
The working out of a settlement
will take generations. and no man
can yet say what the final out
come will be, but the task is pres
emit one. The true friend of the
| American negro will counsel him to
devote his entire energy for the
present to the requirement of pro-
perty and to find his life interests
among the people of his own race.
AS an imitator of the white man he
is failure as voting power he is
a hopeless minority for whom poll
ticians care only as they can use
| him for their advantage, not his;
but as an economically Independent
| American negro it is possible Tor
him to be great success in time.

MARCHING ON BUDAPEST.
100000 Starving People Marching
From Danube Districts.

Budapest, Sept. 10-An army of
100000 starving persons is marching
on Budapest from districts east of the
Danube. Its members come chiefly
from Pennsylvania and the territory
where plebiscite is proposed to fix
the Hungarian and Rumanian bOun-
daries. Its ranks number women, chill
fighting age. Neither men nor wOm-
en- bear arms. So emaciated are they
from hunger, so weak from hardships,
that they stagger under the loads on
their backs. These packs contain all
their worldly possessions. Now and
then helpless one falls by the road
side, to be left to die or struggle on.
