Governor of New Jersey Enters

New York, May 6.-Governor Ed

an avowed, active candidate for the
Democratic nomination for president
of the United States. Walter W. Vicks
personal friend of the governor, is
sued the formal announcement of his
candidacy and of the opening here Of

Governor Edwards begins his cam

or prestige lent him from any
source" Mr.. Vicks said. "He runs
on his record as governor of New
Jersey, as it's former comptroller and
as a man of affairs in the business
and financial world of this country
for the past 25 years. His rise in the
business world as a self made man as
we'll as his entire career, both bus!-
ness and political presents abundant
proof of his sympathetic regard for
the great productive forces of the
country"

DRY CAROUSE LITTLE

''Marse Henry" Tells New York Press
Club Why He Will Not Attend
its Dinner.

New York-From Kentucky, where
the nlournful rum-hound bays dis
consolately in a waste of deserted
distilleries and mint fields heavy with
weeds, there comes letter from a
frank and honest man, the first to ad-
NIT the real reason why public din
ners have lost their appeal to him.
Of course, the letter was from
Marse Henry Watterson. He In
formed the New York Press club,
which plans dinner for May l., that
''the thought of long journey to a
dry, carouse is little short of appal-
ling
Marse Henry suggested an enter
prise of more public-spirited nature.
"Why don't you get up an inpsurrec-
tion?" he asked. He analyzed his
own characteristics at eighty years as
follows:
II am a prohibitionist-with modi-
fications; a female suffragist-,with
limitations but not wholly a dam'd
fool. l am still, let me say, one of
the boys-a bit battered and out of
the ring-but 1 can cen sit up and

COUNTRY PRESS
IN DIRE STRAITS
Small Newspapers Face Grave
Danger.

Washington, May THE picture
of the country press, which includes
the little four page paper from back
home, fighting with It's back 10 the
wall ard almost ready to so under
because of the print paper shortage,
was presented to a senate inveStlgat.
ing committee today by Cortland
Smith of New York, president OF the
American Press association. Along
with his picture of the troubles OF
the country editor, MI. Smith made
the direct charge that the PRINT paper
market had been cornered and that
the print paper interests had con-
spired to regulate production SO that
prices might continue to mount. In
the face of this situation he frankly
told the committee there was little
hope for the small town papers, and
that unless quick relief was pro-
vided half of them would be wiped
out of existence.
While other witnesses had charged
that the market had been cornered,
Mr.. Smith, whose association largely
supplies the country press, was the
first to allege conspiracy to regu-
late output and price. The long ex-
tended hearings were interrupted so
that the committee might confer be-
hind closed doors with Assistant At
torney General Ames, who was asked
to recommend some way out of the
trouble.
John A .Penton of Cleveland, Ohio,
who testified before the committee,
presented the proposals today to
Postmaster General Burleson and
the federal trade commission for
doubling the postal rate on class
publications weighing more than a
pound, and limiting daily papers to
"a papers with 4s on Sunday.

Love 20 see on a gun-boat the govern

You doubtless saw his account Of h;s

for April. 1919. When the former

other day for $4,000 for this leper
work on that island, it was the hap
piest day for US two since | came out

mentions on page g. If, in addition
to all our other work, this little wife
of mine and are able to see this
thing through-segregating and car
ing for thousands of lepers on that
island-it will be because lots of you
at home are praying for us. We
realize that in our own strength, we
can DO nothing.
If we can get these thousands of
ignorant heather lepers on that is
land three miles from shore and can
erect for them a hospital and other
necessary buildings and can help Sc
Iect and stand back of staff of for
eign-trained Chinese Christian ply
colony regularly, we shall need to
sicians, nurses and others, visiting the
have at our fingers ends all that we
ever learned in the homeland and
here, and more! Think of the prob
lens, of organization, of administra-
ton. of fnance-think of dealing
with these Chinese doctors and nur-
ses; think of the disputes that must
be settled! + l wasn't bald, the
thought of it would T.. Ae my head
turn gray! But you and the friends
at home will pray for US, we know.
China has been having hard time
politically, economically, and in every
way; but I am by no means discour-
aged. The work of preaching and
teaching the Gospel of Jesus is, after
all, at the bottom of all the real pro-
gress she can make-and that work,
despite China's poverty, and despite
all her revolutions and counter-revo-
lutions, is moving steadily forward.
There was never a better tribute to
the power of Christianity than when
several of our Baptist Chineses
preachers and physicians expressed
their willingness to live on that
island in the Chinese Sea, and, in
Christ's name, to care for all the
loathsome lepers that could be herded
there. Thank the Lord, wife and l
had long since made up our minds
that we would be perfectly willing to
do that ourselves; but that would, of
course, cut us off from nearly 80
chapels and nearly half that many
schools after all, it is our busi-
ness as missionaries, while leading
the way, to put the responsibility in
every department of the work on the
native Christians, so that when we
die, the work will not die. But we
must and do stand ready to step
right into the breach, if the native
workers fail down.
Please give our kindest regards to
your dear wife and the young folks
and to Mr.. Wells and all the folks
in the dear old home. j..
Yours most cordially,
John Lake.

Interesting Letter From Rev. John

Canton, China,
March p, 1920.

Dear Mr.. Tompkins:
The same steamer brought your
two very much appreciated letters,
as we'll as one from Bro. Tom Lam
ham; and it almost made fellow
homesick to read them and the church
bulletins you both enclosed. 1t GER
tainly was thoughtful of you both
and / am glad Tom had such good
time with the old church. He GER
tainly deserves good treatment. He
is one of the noblest fellows l ever
knew. He and you and many of the
old friends in Edgefeld and South
Carolina are constantly in my pray
ers. Just before your letters came,
wife and l mailed to you and to
good many friends in the homeland
copies of the Annual Report Of our
mission. AS you will see from the
list of names in the back of Home
and Foreign Fields" our mission has
nearly fifty members. Just now, l
am the unworthy chairman. AS you
will see from statistics in the printed
report, we now have AZ churches, and
81 other preaching places (out-sta-
tions), with 1856 members. The
churches and chapels assigned to me
personally are % in number, with S26
members. Of the 97S baptisms last
year, I had the joy of seeing my
churches report S3. In the part of
this great city assigned to my wife
and me, and in the many other cities
and towns where she and look after
the work, our members gave, or rails
ed, last year s2,764.o0, and they
have Is Sunday schools, with 728
scholars. Besides this, wife and l
have in our field 16 schools, with 1852
boys and 319 girls, all of whom study
the Bible in their own language every
day. This is like one couple looking
after a whole association. How do
these figures compare with the Edge
field Association? Wish you'd al
ways send mo the association min
utes.
