Francis Scott Mcbride was born on
farm in Carroll county. Ohio. His
earlier education was gained in the
country school which he was able TO
attend for few months only each
winter. Later he took preparatory
work for teaching in the Mechanics
town, Ohio, Academy, and the Val
paraiso, Indiana, normal school. After
four years spent in teaching in the
public schools, DR.. Mcbride took a
college course at Muskingum College,
graduating with the class of 1898.
This was followed by the theological
course at the Pittsburgh Seminary,
where he was a member of the class
of 1901. In June OF his senior year he
was ordained as a pastor and for eight
years served the United PRESBYTERIAN
church at Kittanning. Penna. From
there he was called to the Ninth Ave-
nue United Presbyterian Church of
Monmouth, III. In July, 1911, DIR. Nc
Bride was made superintendent of the
Springfield district OF the Illinois Anti
Saloon League. In 1912 he was
| chosen by the state board OF directors
to the Office of state superintendent of
the Anti Saloon League of Illinois and
was reelected each succeeding year
for twelve years.
During his term of office as state su-
perntendent, more than 1000 saloons
were closed. During this period Hi
nois furnished vote OF seventeen to
seven i'll Congress in favor of sub
mitting the Eighteenth Amendment,
and Illinois was the twenty-sixth state
to ratify. Following this victory by
the AntiSaloon League forces. two
succeeding dry legislatures were elected
with the result that the state laws of
Illinois contain enforcement statutes
considered to be the most effective
ever passed in any state.
DIR. Mcbride is member of the
executive committee of the Anti-Sa-
loon League OF America and is one of
the five members chosen from that
committee constituting the national
committee on finance. He was also
one OF the committee that drafted the
constitution of the World League
Against Alcoholism and is one OF the
original signers of that document. In
1915 his alma mater gave F. Scott Nc
Bride the degree of Doctor OF Divinity
He was married in 1901 to Sarah
Geraldine NanFossen. Their two
daughters, Christine Harriet and Ger
aida Pearl, are now attending Mus
kingum College. Their son, John Van
Fossen, is a student i'll the Lake View
high school of Chicago. Their home
is at 1880 n Paulina St. Chicago
DR.. McBride's successor will prob
ably be named by the state board of
the Illinois League at its annual meet
ing late in May or carly in June. Al
though the duties of the general super
intendency were assumed by him I'M
mediately upon election. DR.. Mcbride
will continue to serve the Illinois
League until about the first OF July.
During this time he will give especial
attention to preliminary work in con-
nection with the campaign to elect
dry Legislature and dry members OF
| Congress from Illinois. With Illinois
one of the most important states in the
national fight, DR.. Mcbride as general
superintendent will be able to give
considerable help in the Illinois fight
for cooperation with the state League.

America, and superintendents and Of
fcers OF many of the state Leagues.
They were the men who looked to
DR.. Baker not only as their COM
mander, but as a personal friend.
| They had counseled with him. They
had received his instructions and his
advice. They had carried out his or
ders. They, too, had given him sug-
gestions, for DR.. Baker was always
ready to accept and act on the sug-
gestions OF those under him.
This group of men realized as none
others the loss to the cause and their
own personal loss. There was not
one OF them but was inspired by the
recitation of the virtues of the dead
chief and his loyalty and devotion to
the cause, and not one OF them but
determined to press forward and dedi-
cate himself anew TO the work to
which DIR. Baker gave his strength
and his life so cheerfully and so un-
sparingly.
There was a simplicity and tender
ness to the services, and at the same
time there was that feeling of salts
/ faction and of gratitude TO God that
Dir. Baker, head of great moral re-
form, was permitted to live to see his
struggle of years crowned with sue
cess. This thought, SO gratifying,
served to rob even death Of its sting
and its sorrow.
The Last Journey
And then came the last journey of
the short distance from the home to
the cemetery. There was no muffled
drum beating sad tattoo for the dead
chief; there was no tramp of the mill
tary, none of the pomp and splendor
of a great soldier taken to his last
resting place. 1t was a company Of
sorrowing, devoted men and women,
not attracted by curiosity but who
sincerely. mourned the passing of a
friend, Christian gentleman, a good
citizen, leader in the mightiest moral
crusade in history.
AT the vault in which the body will
rest until a private mausoleum re-
ceives it, brief burial service was
read by Dr. T. H. Campbell, superin-
tendent of the Columbus District Of
the Methodist Church, and the final
prayer was given by Bishop Nichol-
son.
The following states were repre-
sented at DR.. Bakers funeral by the

All Intimate Friends

All the speakers were intimate
friends OF DR.. Baker. All knew him
and loved him. All understood the
qualities of mind and heart which
made him great. All knew him as the
man, as we'll as the field marshal. All
bore testimony to the kindly nature,
the genial spirit, the faith, the vision,
and the nearness with which he
walked with God and trusted in Him.
All spoke of his magnanimity, how
willing he was to have honors go to
others, and how equally willing he
was to assume his share of the mis-
takes made by his associates.
The address of DIR. Howard H. Rus
sell was especially interesting, beauti-
full, and touching. No other man
knew DIR. Baker as did Howard Rus
SELL 1t was DR.. Russell who re-
/, cruited DIR. Baker into the service OF
the Ant-Saloon League. For more
than a quarter of century they
worked side by side for the overthrow
of the liquor traffic. They planned
and they executed. Failure of plans
merely meant renewed effort. In the
early days of the great reform it was
struggle which tried the very souls
OF these men, and it was only their
great faith in God and their vision of
the final triumph which urged them
on. Dr. Russell's address could not
have been made by any other man.
These addresses as printed will be
read with interest by thousands who
were unable to hear their delivery.
Miss Nell Mills sang two hymns,
"lf on a Quiet Sea- and Face to
Face" both of them favorites of the
dead chief.

NEW YORK. August IA. - Special
buying came into the curb market to-
day in individual specialties and was
heavy enough to give the general
market an appearance of strength.
The Standard Oils, after some early
weakness, were bought, despite the
unfavorable figures on domestic crude
oil production. disclosing a daily in
crease of $3.50 barrels in the week
ended August 8.
South American issues were strong,
both Lago Pete and Creole Syndicate e
being actively taken at top prices.
The copper shares responded to the
further increase in the price of the
copper metal, quoted at 1874 cents
