AUOTIN, at on© time in charge of a church at Staunton, Va. has decided to leave the noted flbeneser Baptist Church, of Pittsburgh, Pa. •l°d. accept the call to the pastorate of the PCgTim Baptist Church, at Chicago Wfe presame that he Is taUng ta accordance with Dlvlno cuidanc^ .uni we wisli him well in Uis new rtddb of labor. WE WERE NOT at all surprised •wiiea we !e*rn©d that WALTER L. j rOHTRN. Comptroller of Customs at New Orleans had been acquitted of *he coofgHraojr charge made against ,,im at New Orleans. Knowing him as we do, we instinctively came to i lie oouoiuBion from the first that "an enemy hath done this thing" He has our congratulations. THb death of JUDGE ROBERT H. TERRELL, Sunday- night, Decem ber 20th, 1925, in Washington, D. C, removes from public life one of the most remartaftflg men our race has ever produced* He wan well known from the Atlantic to the Pa cific, from Canada to the Gulf. His charming personality stood him well with all a lasses. He understood men and women and could by Lid presence make friends with them/ Hfa brilliant widow end other mem bers of hie family have our sym pathy. MILITARY MEN, who are properly trained, talk but itt e. This is true, both of GENERAL PERSHING and GENERA LEONARD WOOD. Prac tice* y all of the great military ^char oaters in history possessed this trait. Not ao with GENERAL SMEDLEY l>. Bl.'TLER of Phliadophia fame. He talkeu. wnen hr. went into office, admit'od tha his carnpa gn against fcho rum-lo’eis and bootleggers had not been entirety successful and then talked when MAYOR KEN DRICK relieved him of office. The thoughtful public realizes that in returning to Ca ifornia, n© it going where he should have been all of the time. It was P. T. BARNUM who said, ‘‘The American people like to be humbugged". The orlgna "loaning ’ of GENERAL BUTLER U the citj oi Philadelphia,, was, in out opinion one of the most flagrant pieces of humbuggery ever perpe trated upon an American municipal Ity. * DR. W.
