 "Of all the large interests it is the one who pays the most to labor. Forty-siX cents of every dollar goes to the employees. Furthermore it has the smallest percentage of profit. Only two cents of the dollar goes to those who furnish the money. It is the one industry closest to the masses.
 Tt is the common opinion that Henry Ford and other automobile manufacturers have put street rail- ways on the rocks. In a few sections of the country this is true; taking the United States as a whole it is not true. There are more street railway riders today than ever before. Statis- tics show that there is even more riding per capita today than there ever has been.
 The difficulties ot the street rail- ways have come during the past few years from the increase in the cost of labor, material and operating eX- penses in general. Now that these expenses have turned the corner and are going downward, the street rail-

way industry will automatically be- come more prosperous. This means just one thing-street railway bonds as a class will go up in price.
 ''The troubles of certain systems have been due to the fact that they were born in iniquity and conceived in sin. It. is interesting. to note that the roads which have had the most trouble arek those using graft to a large extenesin getting franchises and
 manipulating securities. Investors should be careful to purchase only the securities of companies controlled by men who are honest, fair and are trained to render the best possibl service.
 "Street railway incomes are not af- fected by general business so much as our manufacturing enterprises, but their prosperity is more or less de- pendent on general prosperity. This is especially true in industrial cen- ters. Unfortunately only a little inn provement is evident as yet in these quarters. Business today is still run ming but so per cent of normal as compared with the low of 72 per cent reached last March.

STREET RAILWAYS ABOUT TO PROSPER
BabSon Says Better Times Are

During the coming week all of the street railway interests of the coun- try will meet for a big convention to be held in Atlantic City.
 Notwithstanding the general inn pression that street railways have seen their best days the industry is one of the biggest in America. In fact, it is within the group of less than a score whose sales amount to over a billion dollars a year. When you stop to realize that this billion dollars is collected in nickels and pennies, this means that the various systems carry about twenty billion

Des Moines, Ia, June s25-Despite
an attitude Of indifference on the part
of many Americans toward newcom-
ers to this country, the use of Eng
lish is increasing to a marked ex-
tent in most of the foreign-language
churches in the Northern Baptist
Convention territory. This was the
report made today by DR.. Charles A.
Brooks of the American Baptist
Home Mission Society, and head of
the committee on Foreign Speaking
Bodies. There are $4,000 foreign
speaking Baptists in America.
Warning is sounded, however, that
there is need of better understand

Baptists and those born in this coun-
try that a more defnit epolicy on
the part OF the Northern Baptist con-

BRITISH POLICE
KILL III IN AN
EJECTMENT RAID
(By Associated Pressl

Capetown, June 25-A native reli-
gious sect which calls itself the "ls-
raelites," under a prophet" named
Enoch, who refused to evacuate gov
eminent land at Bullock, near
Queenstown, Cape Colony, has been
forcibly elected, losing III killed and
1876 wounded in a fight with mounted
Cape police.
For some years past, the govern
ment had permitted the "Israelites"
to celebrate passover" on a common
but each year growing number of
pilgrims remained behind on what
they called "holy ground" until a
village of some $50 huts had sprung
up. the sect forbade anybody to en-
ter the village, or to recognize any
authority except orders from "Jeho-
yah, the God of Israel" as interpret
ed by Enoch the prophet.
The government some time ago
endeavored to register the settlement
but the police were obliged to with
draw to avoid bloodshed.
Peaceful efforts by the Secretary
for Native Affairs and others to in
duce the "Israelites" to withdraw
failed. They steadfastly refused to
go. Finally a force of 800 mounted
police moved from Queenstown to de-
mand the surrender of the village.
With shouts of Jehovah says we
must fight" 1000 natives charged
the police with swords and assegais,
the women urging on the men with
wild religious chants. The police let
them come on until within 80 yards
and then fired, with the result stated.
Thereupon the prophet Enoch sur
rendered and the village is to be de-
molished.
The affair has caused some stir in
the Cape House of Assembly. Pre-
mier SHUTS declared that in view of
the natives obstinacy, there was no
other way to make them understand
that they must obey the law.

Sunday or church, Bible school is a
Christianized, developed, sociahzed
religious life, involving far more
than mere acquiring of Biblical
facts. Every church should have
teacher-training classes and CONFER

of the workers, and should pay the
way of its leaders to summer assem-

Contrary to the general opinion,
people are getting better instead OF
worse, according to the report made

More adequate training Of skilled

and better understanding of the OBJ

London, June 25-All society is be-
moaning the failure of the London
season. The week preceding the Der
by should have been social gayety APP
preaching it's height; but the wide
spread effects of the coal crisis have
put a damper on the round of pleas
ures scheduled for this time of the
year, and old stagers find it aard to
recall any similar period when so lit
tie private entertaining was done.
No society debutantes are coming
to town. Shortage of money has
caused many society folk to cancel
all their London engagements and to
spend the summer as cheaply as pos
sible in the country. By the Kings
desire, courts have been postponed
and hotels and theaters are report
ing slumps.
There are a number of overseas
visitors in London, but mot enough
to go round" as one hotel manager
put it, and were it not for the Amer
leans who have come over for the
polo games, those, who have to live
out of profits made in the season
would be in despair.
Dressmakers, tailors and entertain
ment caterers are dong next to moth
ing, the reason being that the present
period of industrial unrest makes it
impossible to see month ahead.
Efforts were made to make the
Henley Regatta a social success.
Henley is always gay dress pa
'geant. According to the fashion pa
pers, the modish colors are yellow
and red, with flower and fruit de-
Signs and with hats trimmed with
wreaths of imitation vegetables.
The only benefit the coal strike has
conferred upon London is the absence
of smoke and fog. The continued
clearness of the atmosphere is sur
prinsing Londoners, who are discov-
ering views of their city the exist
ence of which they hardly suspected.

CHARGES CHINESE
GIRLS ARE SOLD
Nv SIN FRANCISCO

Des lMoines, Ia, June 24.-That
Chinese slave girl traffic is "going

officials" was the statement made by

among the Orientals, THE Northern
Baptist Convention in this city today.

and not from hearsay that this is
fact" he declared, citing the instance
of Chinese girl 16 years old sold in
San Francisco for $2700.
In speaking of the tongs Of the
country, DR.. Shepherd said, "These
tongs are not only an insult to the
churches of America, they are an
insult to the great Masonic order
Over the ,entryway of one of the
bloodiest and most powerful fighting
tongs in America, is a sign 'Bing

querades as a Masonic lodge, while
it is made up of those who engage
in the traffic in Chinese girls, who
labor to Illustrate our laws, who plan
bloody murder, and pay professional
assassins to carry out their plans"
The Chinese, as whole, make good
citizens, however, DR. Shepherd
maintained. The better class among
them own their own homes, partici-
pate in community affairs, and throw
themselves into all great national
movements, he said.
