! Charles is not on the boards himself
he is coaching some local production.
This year he has developed st. Vitus

song he introduces more new steps
than can be described in single

Then we have Lawrence (Runt)
Purinton, who can shoot more fun at
the interlocutor than a machine gun.
"Runt" is also practicing a few new
twirls and figures and will show the
audience how a real end puts materi-
al across.
Fred Perry will wear one of those
nobby, fiashy suits and will tickle the
disabilities of the crowd. Fred has
dug out some original stuff that looks
like pure gold and he will flash this
over.
John F. (Jack) Hanson, well if you
saw the two previous shows you
know Jack, alive every minute and
capable of producing more genuine
laughter than a half dozen ordinary
ends. This seasons song is a hum

When waste products accumulate
they are menace to life. They cause

Boys and girls, l have read the
hisory OF three Americans who gave
me much concern, and the more
read about them the more / think
of their marvellous achievements. My
mother accused me of hero worship
when i was a very small boy, wear
ing dresses like a little darling girl,
and l then told her that l read of
Jesus, Moses and Saint Paul, and
this gave her delight; but when l
mentioned, say for instance, Hugh
Miller, che geogolist, the learned
Blacksmith, and Napoleon and 9TH
ers, she was not so well pleased. 1t
was not my fond pleasure to relate
the story of Lincoln, the graphic
narration of Fred Douglas, and the
beauties and excellencies Of the
matchless Booker T. Washington, the
idols of Americans, these illustrious
citizens of the world. However, /
did talk to her about Frances Willard
that had more influence on my youth
full life than any other writer of her
day. ! early chose my companions
among authors. / selected my COM
panions among the poets, and prose
writer's, and to tell you the truth,
l was a Bibliomaniac and read every
thing that 1 could put my hands on,
and everything l could get by fair
or foul means. ] lived in a house
of books, and read day and night.

lie down on my stomach with a piece

reading matter. But started 20
talk about the notable American trio.
Lincoln, Douglas and the Sage of Tus-
kegee.
Abraham Lincoln was surely no
common statesman, although he
claimed to be one of the common peo-
pie. He was wholly in class to
himself. God made Lincoln great to
accomplish a certain task of eman-
cipation. Men are surely born to ac-
complish certain work, and they
are immortal till that work is &C
complished. Such was Lincoln, such
was Douglas, such was Booker T.

NEGRO METHODIST BISHOP SAILS

Especial to The Express.)
New York, n. Y, Dec. 30.-Bishop
Matthew Wesley Clair, one of the
first two Negro bishops elected to
full rank of General Superintendent
in the Methodist Episcopal Church
by the General Conference at Des
Moines, May LIST, sailed on December
18th from New York aboard the
steamship Egba for Monrovia, Liberia,
where we will take up his Episcopal
residence.
Bishop Clair was formerly pastor
of the Asbury Methodist Episcopal
Church, Washington, ID. c., and dur
ing that time he rebuilt the edifice
and raised the membership 10 dts
present huge proportions. With Bish-
was elected bishop at Des Moines.
He was assigned to Liberia to fill
the place made vacant by the death
of Bishop A. P. Camphor, who died
last winter in this country. Bishop
Camphor was Missionary Bishop,
a rank which was abolished at the
last General Conference and all bish-
ops Of every race are now elected to
full rank. Bishop Clair is accompan-
led to Monrovia by Mrs. Clair, Dl.
John H. Reed of Liberia, and Mr..
Cyril Henry of Montreal.
DR.. Reed is native of Baton
Rouge, Louisiana, and a graduate of
New Orleans University. For a time
he was pastor of Wesley Chapel,
Little Rock, Arkansas. He went to
Liberia in 1905 as missionary I'M
der the Board of Foreign Missions of
the Methodist Episcopal Church. He
soon was made president of the Col
lege of West Africa in Monrovia
maintained by American Methodists.
He succeeded the late Bishop Cam
phor in that position. He was also
editor of the Liberia and West
Africa, publication devoted to re-
ligious life in that country, In 1914
DR.. Reed took on his citizenship pa
pers in Liberia and was appointed
principal of Donovan Institute under
the Librian Government. He is also
Tax Assessor for the city of Non
rovia. He has made five trips to
this country, and has been minis
terial delegate from Liberia TO the
Methodist General Conference Of 1912,

tinue in educational work in Liberia
as Superintendent of Education.

Booker Washington slept in a coal
bin and was floor sweep and yet
he built a Tuskegee institute, and
wrote up From Slavery" a book
that has been translated into eleven
different languages. When he visited
my home, he told me that his mother
made him a bonnet to wear to school,
and how much he admired that bon
net. But one day he exchanged that
bonnie and the dress he wore to
school for a cap and gown worn by
the professor of Yale University,
where he received the high honor of
LII D. He was the guest of the
great rulers of Europe. The floor
sweep becomes the admiration and
criterion of eleven nations, he who
SLEPT in a coal bin, finds himself in
company with the great men of the
earth, and the wearer of bonnets,
sits among those who wear the crown.
Lincoln the rail splitter and the log
beat pilot, becomes the leader and
president of powerful people. The
lives of these three men read like
a fairy tale of the Middle Ages.

Were he able to do this, it would be an easy mat ter for him to escape.
 The best of it all is Gabony is said to be an affectionate. brute who will put his arms about one ,"as trustingly as a little child"
 When the tales, undoubtedly true of an animal such as Gabong are read it is impossible not to wish that Oar win and other scientists were here to see and to study him.

AS IN AGES PAST

The tale of the two girls from a small New York State city, who were arrested without warrant and sent to the State Eeiormatory without trial brings echoes of the injustice p*actic- ed in oldou times. The story does not seem possible in these days.
 Moreover the judge who acted in the matter admitting that they were not tried, must have been imbucd with something of that spirit which condemns without a hearing, without 0 particle of human understanding.
 One of the girls played the piano at "moNir' house in Saugcrtics N. Y. The other sold tickets into the theatcr They were committed as "yagrants" because of the complaints of pareias or relatives, it does not clearly appear which.
 These girls chose 10 earn their living in this way. Perhaps it was not the best way for young girls to be employed, but that is beside the point They had the right and who shall say that because they were more interested in doing this than in wait ing on trade or doing other work, they were wrong Certainly they were not vagrants; certainly the method used to commit them should be a shame to those Americans who allowed it to proceed.
 Whether or not they were talked
New Britain herald., 1921-11-29

about the whole thing is disgrace. II is stated that the judge who com- mitted them was NJ years old; he denied this, claiming he Is 65, II makes little difference, nor does the fact that reputable citizens youch for the good character of the girls. They had a right to be heard. There was no right or justice in thus stamping them as 'Nagrants' and sending them to place where they would learn, probably, more of evil than they had ever known. It was possible that thelr lives would be ruined; at least their names would bear stigma which 1t win take years to wash away. What over they might have done they were entitled to be heard,
 Quite naturally it was not long be- fore one of them Was released, and the other, not represented by counsel, was given the promise of an investi- gation,
 1t is awful, at times, to realize the danger to which young girl is often exposed when earning her living or taking mere enjoyment of life. But tragedy lies back of arbitrary power arbitrarily and illegally exercised by ono who dOaa not rpcopniza tho change in the times, the new free dom now given women, and the neces- sity of making it more easy, not more difficult to live.
