pected to demand d more democratic
rule with the control of the organiza-
ton in the hands of competent group
like the high council, which heretofore
has served mostly in a nominal
capacity.
Mrs. Bramwell Booth and Miss Cath
crime Booth will urge continuing the
rule in vogue the last 100 years, which,
by foundation deed of Gen. William
Booth, makes the general the trustee OF
the organizations vast funds and prop
erty amounting to millions of dollars.
Commissioner Edward John Higgins,
chief of staff, who assumed active con-
troll of the Salvation Army during the
illness of Gen. Bramwell Booth, called
the high commission meeting.
Duty of Council Limited.
AS pointed out by member OF the
Booth family, "the only purpose Tor
which the high council can be called
is to depose the general. It is not a
step taken against Gen. Bramwell
Booth, we know, but against the indi-
vidual who might be named as his
successor" :.
The first duty of the high council
when it meets will be to consider
whether, as a result of his serious ILL
ness, Gen. Bramwell Booth has be-
come untitled for his Office. If 1t should
so decide 1t can proceed to elect sue
ceSSor.
An examination of the amended foun-
dation deed, filed in chancery in 1878.
shows that the autocratic power of the
head in respect to nomination of his
successor is laid down clearly. 1t Is
stipulated also, however, that after the
first two generals the leadership should
not be held by any one person more
than five years, and also that the diff
ferent districts were to have the right
to nominate the general, and that his
or her election was to be by secret
ballot at the annual conference.

that these sums are not personal per-

Army purposes in the ordinary way.
All other officers are paid and re-
ceive out-of-pocket expenses. Mrs.
Bramwell Booth, commissioner, does
not accept pay. Her four daughters

Helena, Mont.
BY HEX.

Helena was taking little nap this
week and dreaming about the good
times friends were having in Butte.
HEX followed the crowd, forgot the
capital city and hung about the side
lines of the big game pulled off. in
Butte by the women. 1t was a busy
session and marked Improvement was
shown over the second session that |
attended when the body was first or
ganized. Substituting the word
"Colored" for that of Negro" in
the name of the association. was one
of the acts of the body that is
puzzling many. 81
The appropriation of a sum of
money for worthy students who seek
higher education was browning
feature of the three-day session.
Each day was filled with variety
Of activities and the steady grind was
plainly evident on the last day of
the session. The women of Montana
have put the men to shame. The
man who can say that these women
are not accomplishing great things
for the race in Montana, must hold
close relationship to that well known
family from Missouri with long ears
and small stature.

Mrs. D, the silver-tongued

A lady from Helena reported the
loss of pair of stockings. Another
from Butte wanted to know if she
lost them from her legs. Don't blush,
boys, twas a perfectly natural and
proper question.

One OF the great drawbacks to our
race in obtaining any political con-
sideration is our failure to register.
This is not altogether true of our
race as whites complain of the lethar-
gy of their race. No one complains
more about high taxation and other
evils than colored property owners,
and yet many of them fail to regis
ter so they may cast their ballot
and protect themselves against this
evil. The question is often asked,
What do we get out of voting?" A
better question would be, "What is
gained by not voting?" Our race
must learn the value of the ballot.
The right of franchise is priceless
heritage and should not be- sacrificed
by our neglect to register. If you
have not registered, go at once to
the City Hall and do so. A colored
man will be on the ticket this fall
for constable and we must help elect
him.

PARIS TEARS DOWN
OLD "FLOP HOUSE,

PARIS R-"The Golden Grape"
nearly the last of the notorious
"flop houses" of Paris, has disap-
peared. 1t was a "hotel" without
beds, where men slept hanging over
suspended ropes if they didn't like
the floor, or if there was not room
on it.
Miserable humanity by the hun
dreds sought it's warmth and shelter
on cold nights, although the
warmth was mostly furnished by
their own bodies. A few cents ad-
mitted them.
The sleeping ropes were suspend
ed from wall to wall about four
feet high The men rested their
chests on them, allowing their arms
to hang down, and there slept. The
tall men stood at the ends and the
short ones at the center, where the
ropes sagged At daybreak the
ropes were dropped, and so were
the men, which was the "hotel's"
way of calling them early.

OHIO SENATOR
A CLASS MATE
WITH GILMORE
Douglas Man Recalls That
Frank Willis Won HOnors
At Graduation in 1893

News of the sudden death, last night,
of Senator Frank B. Willis, of Ohio,
came to one Douglas man with sing
ular force because of the long and
intimate acquaintance that had existed
between them. That was w. G. Gill
more, attorney, who was classmate
of the late Senator Willis when they
were in college at the Ohio Northern
university at Ada, Ohio, from which
they graduated in the class OF 1893.
"To bad, too, bad," said Mr.. Gilmore
speaking of the news of the death of
Senator Willis. 1.-The senator and
were classmates and secured our di-
ploma at the same time. Singularly
enoguh, Frank, as we knew him then,
and I were college boys when Prof.
Simeon D. Fesa was a teacher of his
tory in that college and both of us
were students in the professors class.
Now Professor Fess is a member Of
the U. S. Senate and was junior SEN
ator while Frank Willis had enjoyed
the distinction of being member OF
the upper house for several years.
Senator Willis was a bright student,
and took one of the three honors at
commencement that gained speakers
position on the program. He stood
fell in the college circles and always
had many friends.
"We never say eye to eye in politics,
but that did not prevent me from
recognizing ability in my college mate
and friend and it is with keen regret
that learn his career has been ended
by DEATH
