To think of splendors that his hand might do,
And though the outer garment shows sins stains,

Kindness to sinners does net breed disgrace--
More shame to him who turns away hts face;
Help him to rise who falls beside the way

Stretch out hand to him! Were he in pain

THE NEW LEADER IN DEMO-
CRATIC cIRLES.

The Rabbit wing of Jackson County
Negro Democrats is indeed fortunate
in their selection of Professor John L.
F. Talton as leader. He is a firm,
quiet, stalwart Christian gentleman.
Professor Talton was born near Nap
ton, Saline County Mo-, and educated
in it's public schools and at Lincoln
Institute, Jefferson City, Mo-, gradual
ing from its full Normal Course. June
II, 1898.
He taught school three years at his
home; one in Olathe, Kansas; seven
in Liberty, Mo-, and eleven years in
Kansas City, Mo He is a faithful,
energetic and conscientious teacher,
thoroughly devoted to the interests of
his pupils and the welfare OF their
parents and an asset to every COM
munity where he has lived.
He is an ordained minister of the
African Methodist Episcopal church.
AS far back as 1896, when a very
young man, he cast his lot with the
Democrats and voted for the peerless
VIM. j. Bryan and has consistently
supported the Democratic ticket ever
since, believing that the Negro has
much to gain by such course. That
belief has been steadfastly sustained
in grand old Missouri.
His varied experience and rare con-
tact with all sorts and sizes OF boys
and the ease with which he gets on
with them especially fits him for a
truant officer.
