and white who had the blessed priyi-
lege of hearing him; and, certainly.
it is to be deplored that much larger
number did not avail themselves of
the glorious opportunity given to them
in the Twin Cities.
The speaker has fund of excellent
stories which point a moral, that he
gave with great effect.
One of these, quite apropos, was the
story OF the great feast given by King
Belshazzar of Babylon, when at the
height of his glory, and when, as the
speaker put it, 'the fingers of mans
hand, without the man" wrote on the
wall OF the banquet chamber: "Mene,
Meme, Tekel, Upharsin" and which
none of the kings wise men could in
terpret. But Daniel, who was. called
into the kings presence, at the sug-
gestlon OF the queen, was found to be
ready and interpreted the words to say
to the king, "Thou art weighed in the
balances and art found wanting,
The speaker emphasizes the neces.
slty of the colored people to get ready
so that when called upon in any field
OF endeavor they could answer: "Here
am l, take me-" He further empha.
sized the great need and ADVANTAGE
OF proper home training as the best
foundation to build upon for future
success. He told of how he had come
up from barefooted boy to a judge
ship and admission to the Bar of the
Supreme Court Of the United States.
The Judge has very pleasing stage
presence, and is a past master in
rhetoric, diction and the use of the
Queens English making an address by
him, "a thing of beauty and a Joy for
ever"
He was fortunate in having Rev. T..
J. Carr to introduce him as they were
college chums" and he could speak
by the card, having known him for
many years. At the close of his ad-
dress Mrs. Dovie Welsh sang a solo
as only she can, and responded to a
hearty encore.
The genial Judge was then rendered
reception that showed the very fav-
orable impression he had made upon
MS auditors as every one crowded
forward to grasp his hand and tender
words of congratulation and adulation.
This was the third trip of Judge
Harrison to the Twin Cities and the
trite saying, 1.-THE third time is the
charm" was most pleasingly verified.
He may rest assured of a warm well
come whenever he may come this way.

Baby Turner Gets a Gold Gift.

Miss Voldora Turner, the baby
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. Waldo Turner,
has been the recipient of very unique
gift from an old time friend and class
mate of her father, DR.. H. NJ. Greene
Of Knoxville, Tenn; which, when the
little lady has learned it's intrinsic and
historical value, will doubtless prize
it very highly, and will hand it down
to her children as an heirloom.
The gift is gold pin made from
melted jewelry belonging to Governor
Blonk, former chief executor Of
Tennessee in which is set a large and
rare pearl taken from the Tennessee
river, on the banks of which DR.
Turner was born and spent his early
childhood. 49,. 1906 -. ..>.

Mr.. Editor:
My attention has been called to
the fact that it is being circulated
around that I am personally oppos-
ed to the reelection of Mr.. Hodgson
for Mayor. This is an absolute dis
tortlon OF the truth, and I want the
public, and particularly my friends
to know that an attack of that ma.
ture is either based on ignorance,
or is a cowardly attempt to discredit
the friendly relations that exist be-
tween the present city officials and
myself.
My position as one of the senior
architectural men in the employ of
the city has never depended on pol
itics. My appointment five years
ago was the result of competitive
civil service examination in which I
ranked first on the list. My reten-
ton and promotion from time to time
has been because I have so far sue
ceeded in properly and efficiently
taking care of my work. I have

eacn OF them, including the present
Commissioner of Parks, Play
grounds and Public Buildings.
AS citizen of St. Paul, I have the
right to my own personal convictions
in reference to how and for whom
l shall cast my vote and I challenge
any attempt to abridge my personal
rights in such matter. I am per-
fectly able to follow the record of all
candidates up for election and to per-
,sonally vote for those whom I feel
have done so and will continue work
for safe and sane administration
of municipal affairs; who will unalt-
erably stand for fair play to all class
es; who will advocate an economical
expenditure of the peoples money in
the upbuilding and beautifying of our
city. I believe in the theory of prac-
t1cal organization for any people, and
that of course includes us.

DRYS IN MEXICO
LOSE FIGHT FOR
SUNDAY CLOSING
(By The As.ociated Prees,

Mexico CITY. Nov. l9,--The dry"
elements in the Mexican govern
ment have just suffered defeat in
an attempt to close the cantinas,
or saloons, on Saturday nights and
Sundays. The "wets," comprising
sOmo 1000 cantina owners and
their patrons. are rejoicing.
The government has strong
dry 'leanings, the chief executive
being alleged to favor prohibition
and +. Plutarco Gales, minister of
war, being known throughout the
republic as n "bone dry advocate.
Several weeks ago presidential
decree closed all places where
liquor was sold from Saturday
might at 8 O'Clock until Monday
morning at Z. This edict had a
depressing effect upon Saturday
night revelry.
More than 1000 local vendors of
liquor signed a request that the
government be legally restrained
from enforcing the decree. After
the question was violently agitated
in the newspapers, the supreme
court handed down q decision
which virtually granted the request
of the "wets" by naming several
hundred cafes and cantinas where
liquor might be sold over Sunday.
This order was later expanded to
include all cafes and cantinas and
the "estado seco'' (dry state) Is q
myth so far as the capital is con-
Cerned.
