LONE

here to tell you that things look good
Then he carries with him such good in,
spiratiouaI men and women. He Ia.
among his friends some Of the best in
the world. want to tell you some Of
them who were here. I have already
mentioned Mrs. BreedlOve, the wife Of
DR.. Breedlove, and now I come to that
man here who stands for so much, Pro.
fessOr Roberts, principal Of the Lincoln
/ graded school where all the business
has been transacted. He was on hand
and contributed his part to the work
He is a great fellow and has been in
the work Of school for a long time,
By the way Professor Malone was one
time principal of this school.
Leaving Professor Roberts, I come to
Prof. Frank L. Williams one Of the
most noted Of educators. Professor
Williams is a scholar Of the first grade,
and one of the best school men in the
country, and at the same time is one
of the highest salaried men in Amer
lea, and because he took time to pre-
pare himself. He has had some real
fattering offers TO leave town, but
sticks to st. Louis. He is an organizer
and knows an about drives, for he has
been in so many Of them and has put
his money in them too.
He was accompanied by Prof Gerald
Tyler, the Director of music in the
same school. Thatis one of the great
est music men in the country. BE has
a wonderful ability, and can make
them masters take down their sign.
He must have gotten his taste for
music from heaven, and he is certainly
going to have a high place up there in
the heavenly choir.
I am Just here to be with these
other gentlemen, for there is nothing 1
can do except use big sounds, and that
will not get much money, yet I am
here to see il done. Mr.. and Mrs. Ma
lone have the love and confidence Of
the people. That is just the FIST half
Of the battle and I tell you when
Mrs. Malone gives you that smile and
with her sweet musical voice in speech
you just open your pOeketbOok and tell
her to take out as much as she wants
for the cause. God give US more Of
them.
But now coming back to Mr.. Malone,
he has been a man among men. He
has contributed of his means, he has
worked, and his wife has worked. She
can go into the kitchen and cook a real
frst-elass meal, and this have seen
her do right here in Quincy, and I
saw her ont yesterday sweeping the
leaves of Of the yard. She cleans up,
makes up beds, and then she can dress
up, as she is able to dress up and
entertain in her parlor. Wonderful
Now there is something that should
be done, and you viii agree with me,
and that is make Prof Aaron E. Ma
lone Register of the United States
Treasury. This would be pleasing to
all of our people and a tribute to a
deserving man. In him we would all
be represented, the high and the low,
rich and poor. He loves all of us, and
we all love him, and we are going to
ask as one for his appointment. How
do you stand on thisi 1t suits me. I
shall tell you some of the things he has
done for our people from time to time.
His money belongs to the people, and
he gives them the use Of it.
I think I shall have to bring this
letter to a sudden stop. The annex
to POrO College win be opened Thanks
giving week. Look out for it.
CHARLES E. STUMP.
