self again he had kicked the fat into
the fire by indiscretions of his cross
country campaign. The fact about
that break down has never been made
public, but sometime it will be recog-
nized as having profoundly altered
the history of the country. AS re-
CARDS MIR. Hughes personally it was
most unfortunate, but the country at
large might readily take different
view.
Politics still makes strange bed-fel-
lows. Senator Lodge must indeed be
hardpressed to endorse Alvan Tufts
Fuller for lieutenant governor of
Massachusetts-probably needs Full
ler's help, small as it is. 1t has not
been so long since Fuller referred to
Lodge as ga blood -drinker" and "a
senile whelp." These expressions are
indicative of the depths to which the
morals of the party has sunk.
A party must be in a desperate
plight when it will choose the New
berry case as it's very least damaging
issue.

Frank H. Farris Suing for Divorce.

jefferson City, Mo-, Aug. %. For
mer State Senator Frank III. Farris, of
Rolla, member of the State Constitu-
tional Convention and member of the
Democratic State Committee, both of
the old and new body, said tonight
that his divorce suit against Mrs. Far
ris will be triedin the September term
of court.
Senator Farris, discussing the suit
tonight, said: 81 filed suit for divorce
against Mrs. Farris last May in the
Circuit Court at Rolla, my home, and
it will be tried at the September term
of court. 1t is based solely on the
grounds Of incompatibility and that is
all there is to it. have no statement
whatever to make concerning it ex-
cept what have said"
The suit was filed more than three
months ago, but friends generally Of
Senator Farris did not know that it
was pending.
Mrs. Farris has usually accompan-
| led Mr.. Farris to Jefferson City dur
| ing all of the sessions to the General
Assembly, in which he has served
but she did not come to the constitu-
| tional convention with him.

distinction of being the first architect
ever sent out by the Foreign Mission
Board, and his appointment indicates
the vast extent of the Southern Bap-
tist work in that country. More than
half Of the total number Of mission
aries in the employ Of this board are
located in China, where the results OF
their labors are very gratifying to the
officers of the Board.
Large interest centers, also, in the
launching Of an intensive missionary
work in Palestine, to which country
there go Rev. and Mrs. Fred Bunyau
Pearson of Moulton, Ala, and Rev. and
Mrs. ]. Walsh Watts, Of Laurens, S. c..
Some native missionaries are already
at work in Palestine, and the outlook
there is considered very encouraging,
despite the present complicated pohti-
cal and racial controversies.
Campaign Brings Enlargement
In addition to the sending out of $50
new workers to foreign fields the rs
Million Campaign has made it possible
to increase the number Of native
workers from I'll to 1172, to practical
ly double the missionary equipment in
the older fields of China. Japan, AT
RIGA, Italy, Brazil, Argentine, Chile,
Uruguay and Mexico, and to enter the
new fields of Spain, Jugo-Slavia, Hun,
gary, Roumania, Southern Russia, Pal
estine and Siberia. Southern Baptists
now have a practically unbroken
string of mission fields encircling the
globe, and a possible mission audience

Hughes Deplorable Ignorance.


Cordell Hull, chairman of the Demo-
cratic National Committee, suggests
that Secretary Hughes probably STIR
ed up the Newberry issue in an at
tempt to divert attention of the elec-
torate from the horrible record of the
present Republican administration
during the last eighteen months. Re-
publicanism must be in pitiable
plight when it does this sort OF thing,
1t is rather like a man admitting
arson, embezzlement, wife desertion,
and half-dozen other felonies in an
effort to escape prosecution on a first
degree murder charge. The Newberry
ghost has and will plague the Repub-
lican party and Republican candidates
for reelection are none too anxious
to hear the renewed clsnking of its
chains but, at that, Cordell Hull prob
ably is right. AS he says, there are
other issues astill more damaging"
Mr.. Hull's answer to Secretary
/
Hughes is we'll worth the study of
Democrats. eIf Secretary Hughes
does not know that the Newberry seat
in the United States Senate was
bought" says Hull, "he is the only in
telligent person in the United States
who does not know that fact"
This one paragraph nails all the at
tempted vindication of Newberry. No
matter how long Lawyer Hughes and
Politician Hughes may talk, the
| American citizen knows that the ex-
penditure of at least $l95, 900 for New
berry in the Michigan primaries was
wrong and constituted nothing more
or less than the buying of seat in
| the Senate.

NO

of 9OO,O0O,000 people, or one-half the
total population of the globe.
And the results on the field have
kept pace with the larger investment
in the work and number of workers.
Since the outset Of the Campaign the
Foreign Mission Board reports the or
ganization of lit new churches, 21,723
baptisms, 211 new Sunday schools
with a gain of 1856 pupils, native
contributions to Baptist work of ST.
l003, ,390.6S, and 529,642 treatments ad-
ministered by missionary physicians
Churches on the foreign fields, exclu-
sive of the new terriotry in Europe
and the Near East, now number e22
with 64,251 members. There are also
971 Sunday schools With 53,691 pupils.
and 694 mission schools of all grades
with 26,5O7 students.
Expeese Rate Is Low
More than $6,250,000 net has gone
from the Campaign into foreign mis-
sion work, and so economically have
these funds been handled, the Board
reports, that 1924 cents out of every
dollar has actually reached the for
eign fields, only 3.74 cents out of each
dollar being required to care for the
| total cost of administration. But with
these larger receipts and economical
administration the Board is unable to
meet the demands upon it, and at its
last annual meeting it was compelled
to reduce the requests Of the mission
aries on the field for appropriations
by more than $1,000,000.

Hughes Fee for Newberry Case.

While Chairman Hull's statement
charged that the Republicans were at
tempting to distract the attention
from the tariff, the Industrial panic of
1922 and the demoralized state of
business and industry, by the discus.
sion of the Newberry case, helped by
Mr.. Hughes respectability, it is also a
fact that Secretary Hughes's defense
was made necessary by the popular
revolt against Newberryism through
out the United States. Wherever the
Republicans have turned, they have
been faced with this issue, and 1t was
with the hope Of minimizing it that
the former Justice of the Supreme
Court was selected to do what the
World calls 'sthe dirtiest days work
of his life.n
Mr.. Hughes, it will be remembered,
was Senator Newberry's attorney be-
fore the Supreme Court of the United
States. He received large fee for
his services. Common report places
it as high as 100000, or half as much
as Newberry admitted had been spent
previously in his contest. Perhaps if
the exact figure were known it might
help further to explain why Mr..
Hughes was willing to Use the great
office of Secretary of State for partisan
political purposes to defend an ex-
client, who, while escaping legal pun
ishment, has been morally convicted
in the court of public opinion. Even
the Senators who voted to retain
Senator Newberry in his seat voted at
| the same time for a resolution which
solemnly declared that athe expendi-
ture of such excessive sums in behalf
of candidate, either with or without
his knowledge and consent, being
contrary to sound public policy, harm
full to the honor and dignity of the
Senate, and dangerous to the per-
petuity of free government, such ex-
cessive expenditures are hereby con-
demned and disapproved. !"
AS Chairman Hull pointed out, how
ever, Mr.. Hughes in his defense Of
Senator Newberry neither condemned
nor disapproved ofthese expenditures

Myth the sending out this season
wv of fifty new missionaries by the
Foreign Mission Board OF the
Southern Baptist Convention, 250 new
workers have been sent to foreign
fields during the rs Million Campaign,
or one-half the goal that was set in
the number of workers to be provided
during that movement. 1t is ant1cl-
pated the remaining ESQ will go out
during the remainder Of the Campaign
period that will expire in December,
1924. The workers going out this sea-
son will enter the fields of China, Ja-
pan, Africa, Palestine, Brazil, Argen-
tina, Uruguay, Chile and Mexico.
Inasmuch as the largest missionary
effort of the denomination is centered
1 In the Orient, the larger portion Of the
workers sailed from Seattle Saturday
September 2, on the Admiral Liner
President Jackson for stations in
China and Japan. The missionaries
for fields on other continents sail
from New York on various lines and
some of them will not depart until
September 30.
Varied Types Workers Sent
Included in the list of missionaries
are preachers and evangelists, teach
ers, doctors, nurses, one architect, one
expert in domestic science, and spe
cial workers among women and chill

Sir--Referring to the exemption
granted to municipal and State employees

to be class legislation and unfair to
other salary or wage earners whose M
come Is not from this favored source:
The writer has long nnd tnis opinion,
and II financially able would contest TINS
imposition. There Is 40 justice or equal
ity as provided in the Constitution
wherein such distinction can be legally
made. Either all should pay income
tax on salary or wage income irrespec-
tive of source, or none should pay.
Where are the officials Of the various
labor unions? Where Is Gompers! Why
is this subject not taken up by, these
men who are paid to look after the IN
terests of workers. Surely some Of the
membership 6f the Federation OF Labor
nay income tax on salaries earned IN
the various trades. Why should they
have to paw when State and municipal
employees, school teachers, etc., are ex-
empt?
these exemptees take up just as much
space in this country and enjoy (if that
word can be used under present condi.
tions) the same privileges rs we, VINO

Law Lax In Bond SELLING

To the Editor OF the Evenir0 Public Ledger:
Sir--There Is something radically
wrong in the law regarding the starting
of corporations and the selling of bonds.
More poor people are victimized in this
way than in any other, and more rus.
calls get rich in the same way, and II Is
a disgrace that the law is such that II
does not step In and prohibit the VIC
timizing Of the public.
These persons dealing in bonds of this
character usually pick out the poor
working classes who have saved n small
mount, amounting rarely more than into
the hundreds. and by telling these peo-
pie that in the purchasing of stocks or
bonds with this money they will be able
to double 1t in short time. They offer
all sorts Of attractive percentage INV.
ments, and they usually are able to sell
these bonds by paying interest for a
year or two and then when they have
caught all the suckers they can get thew
suddenly close their Offices and disap.
pear. They never invest their own
money, but when they disappear they do
SO with large sums contributed in small
investments from hundreds and tbon.
sands Of gullible people.
This should not be allowed. No con.
templated nrm should be allowed to IL.
sue bonds unless they nre able 70 give
the proper security. They should he
closely watched to see thut they arr
fair and honest with the subscribers IF
only people could be convinced thnt
nine-tcnths of these bond proposition.

They say "a sucker is born every min.
ute," but the public should get wise 70

as rapidly ns some Of these investment
solicitors would have You believe. and
