 Though Miss Booth was the daughter of
 the founder of the army" writes Miss
 shannon, "she entered at the bottom. Her
 first service was selling the War Cry, the

 ''She sold flowers and matches on the

She was stoned, with other Salvationists, and persecuted and put in prison. She served apprenticeship in the most anguishing posts there were to be held before she was sent from England to command the Salvation Army in Can ada, and from there to the Unite States One of the secrets of the great sue cess of Evangeline Booths leadership is that her officers know that she does not ask of them anything that she has not

attended several of their club meetings to hear these discussions(, and realize that they mean well, that they encour- age honest work, and are endeavoring to impress upon the negro that they must prepare for service, that idleness is a crime, and that the more they make them selves competent the more their pay. These negroes who have grown up among their white friends of the south are the very ones who have the true interest of their race at heart. They have known the value of a white friend, and they are ready to encourage rneIr own people in the right appreciation of the south and its opportunities.
 Good negroes are not scarce here today, but they are fearfully handicapped by the living conditions and lack of thrift and management among them.
 Reverting to the man who was Joking to a job for his white friend, this indicates the strongest evidence of co-operati ton between the races; they each can help the other, and there is no need of stacking in our efforts, only by good spirit can we overcome the shortage of household help.
 Dealing with one or two dissatisfied employees does not solve the servant prob lem; we must understand the value of interest in what we are doing for both races. When We work as friends we put our soul into the welfare of all. and we can only be friends when we know what the best black and white are striving to bring about which only means bette citizenship for all, health, peace and plenty-this the result of service. And as we value it, we better ourselves and the co immunity.

An Old Negro Man Looking

Waiting in an office a few days ago we overheard a very unusual conversation. and one which is>very worth repeating. An humble negro man with hat in mand made respectful bow, and said, Good

 At once We thought this is a negro who
 has the, interest of some good old white
 friend al heart, probably some one who
 did him kindness and he was anxious to give him turn. The negro was of the
 old-fashioned kind, his entire department
 impressed you with his earnestness and
 eagernes to be of service.
 He had been serving white folks all his life, but l dare say this was the first
 time he ever was engaged in hunting a
 job for white man. His attitude gives
 us an opportunity to speak right now of the many negroes in our city who appre-
 clate their white friends, and are anxious
 to render service whenever needed There afe descendants of many old col

 It is very true servants are hard to get, and all kinds of field help is scarce, many of our most competent help have moved away, but it is more a dissatsfac- tion with their surroundings than with the white folks of our city.
 Our negroes are mserabl housed; these alleys are congested; the houses are shan ties and insanitary, and the negro is try ing to live in better homes; that is, those who are thinking and striving for their race Comparatively few can own their homes, and the landlords can rent the "shanty," so why change.

SAYS LEAGUE TRAINERS
FOLLOWED ADVICE OF
REPUBLICAN STATESMEN

San Diego, Cal, Sept. 20. - An
extract from a magazine article
written in 1914 by Theodore Roose-
welt was read by President Wilson
in an address here to-day as an ar
gument in favor of the League of
Nations.
Speaking to cheering crowd
which filled the great San Diego
Stadium, the President also quoted
from Senator Lodge. one of the most
bitter opponents of the Treaty in
its present form, and declared that
in framing the League Covenant, the
Versailles conference had followed
the advice of these and other Re-
publican statesmen.
II am glad to align myself with
such utterances," said Mr.. Wilson,
while the crowd cheered. Here in
concrete form is the fulfllment of
the plan they advocated"
The address was interrupted many
times by applause from the crowd,
which local officials estimated at
phitheater with it's seating capacity
of 10000, was packed. thousands
standing in the aisles and on the
terraces above.
Spoke From Glass Cage
Speaking from a glass enclosed
platform, the Presidents words were
carried out to the distant rims of
the stadium by means of an electrical
device. Only part of those present
could hear him, however, and before
he finished there were many empty
seats.
The President also discussed at
length the objection that the British
empire might have a preponderance
of voting power in the League as
sembly. 1t was a "delusion" to be
frightened at any such prospect, he
said, because there could be no i'm
portant action by the assembly with
out the concurrence of the American
representative.
The assembly. asserted Mr.. Wilson,
was largely a debating body, and as
such it was only fair to give men,
bership to the British colonies. 1t
