VOLUME 11. NUMBER 11. HONOR MEMORY OF MAJ. CARL SCHURZ Federal and State Troops Turned Out In New York in the Big Parade UNVEILING MONUMENT 0CCASION Was Considered Greatest German Born Citizen of the United States. ONE TIME EDITOR OF N. Y. POST Captain Charles Elliott Warren Commanded the Military Parade. New York, May 10.—Federal and state troops turned out here today to pay honor to the memory of Major- General Carl Schurz, editor, states- man, publicist and soldier. The oc- casion was the unveiling of a monu- ment to the man who has been called the greatest German born citizen of the United States. A parade of five divisions of soldiery and a special division composed of the Veteran Corps of Artillery, Captain Charles Elliott Warren commanding, made up one of the most imposing military dis- plays which has ever turned out in New York to honor the memory of any man who has held an office lower than that of president of the United States. Detachments of various posts of the Grand Army formed a guard of honor at the reviewing stand where the mayor of New York reviewed the troops. . Carl Schurz, in whose memory the statute unveiled today was erected. was one of the most picturesque as well as one of the most highly honor- ed German Americans in the United States. Hp achieved in turn, the United States Senate from Missouri, the president’s cabi- net, as high, officially, as a man not as a member a native can aspire, and the repre- sentative of this country to the court of Spain. Born in Cologne March 2, 1829, he studied in the schools of his native city and later graduated from the University of Conn. In 1848 he joined the revolutionists and when the movement failed, fled to Switzer- land. Later he went to Paris and then London as a newspaper correspondent. In London he married Miss Margaret Meyer, of Hamburg. Becoming in- terested in abolition in America he came here in 1852, settling in Water- town, Wis,, where he established a newspaper. Being defeated for lieu- tenant governor he entered the legis- lature. He was appointed minister to Spain in 1861, resiging the post in 1861 to join the Union army as a private. He rose to brigadier-general and then to major-general for his work in the battles of Gettysburg, Chancellorsville and Bull Run. After the war he became Washington cor- respondent for the New York Tribune. After a year he went to Detroit where he founded the Post. In 1867 he founded the Westliche Post, which is today the leading German publication in the west, with Emil Preetorius, dean of German-American journalists. Schurz was temporary chairman of the Republican national convention in" Chicago in 1868 and served as united States senator from Missouri from 1869 to 1875. He was secretary of the interior from 1877 to 1881, In 1872 Schurz took a leading part in the organization of the short-lived Liberal party, and was chairman of the cnvention which nominated Hor- ace Greely for president. In 1881 Schurz went to New York and for three years was editor of the Evening Post. He retired in 1898 to devote his time to literature. His au- tibiography was running in a current magazine at the time of his death. For his literary work he was made an LL. D. by Harvard and the University of Missouri. Tall and sparsely built, (Carl Schurz was one of the most strik- ing figures of his time. His iron gray hair and square cut beard and large black rimmed eye glasses, attached to a broad black ribbon, gave him a :scholarly look, and he always attract- «ed attention from those who passed him in Park Row of Fifth avenue. The man’s character can best be under- :stood by two favorite -sayings of ‘Schurz: “There is nothing within the range of human possibility that any man cannot do if he puts his mind to it. No normal man is handicapped; if he h: a brain at all, no matter what his place of birth, he can get anywhere e wants to if he applies ’hlmsslf.“’ PROF.F.

W. Thatcher who took up his duties May 1, and a Division [of Soils headed by Professor F. J. Al- way, now head of the Department of Agricultural Chemistry, University of Nebraska. Professor Alway is recognized' as one of the leading soil experts of the United States and will probably be at the University Farm in the near fu- ture to confer with Professor Thatch- er in planning the instructional work for the. future including the re-or- ganization of the teaching work and the re-modeling of the Agricultural Chemistry Building in such a way as to accommodate two divisions instead of one.

THREE THOUSAND | APPLICANTS WAIT Unskilled Laborers Line Up For Two Thousand Civil Service Positions. WOMEN WAITING WITH MEN Left' Babies -at Home Unguarded While They Held Their Places In Line. DEMANDS SHOW WHO RULES Rub Shoulders. With Washington’s Society People in Front of Civil Service Building By Congresman Clyde H. Tavenner. ‘Washington, May 10.—Th city of Washington, D. C., was treated to an edifying spectacle the other day. A thousand men and women stood in a| line all night, and far into the the next morning, waiting to be _first when the Civil Service Commission | gave out 2,000 jobs for unskilled la- borers, paying $1,00 to $1.50 and $2 Dper day. When the doogs finally op- ened there were 3,000 applicants in the line. | Washington is a rich, proud rvity. It boasts of greater per capita pros- United States. It has no laboring class to speak of. Manufacture is not permitted to mar the nation’s show | city. Here, if any place in the United | States, there is comfort; her the wolves of hunger are not at th/e doors. And we are told we are prosperous, at the very flood tide of prosperity brought by 16 years of republican rule. We are warned not to break tariff revi on and other radical leg- islation. What a refutation of the standpat | argument was that all-night line in front- of the Civil Service Building, at the very edge of Washington’s ex- tensive millionaire colony, rubbing shoulders with the fast society set which sneers at a great secretary of state because in simply democracy he refuses to serve expensive wines at his dinners! ’ ‘What a mockery to the reactionary statesmen to whose very ‘doors this tragic illustration of republican pros- prity was brought. What an answer to the cynical ex-Speaker of the House Cannon, who within a week has slightingly termed the unrest of this country as a “following after strange gods “Return!” cry Cannon and the oth- er reactionaries. “Forsake your false gods. Come back to the things that were. Let wealth concentrate. Let the trust forming, the special privi- lege, the exploitation of humanity, the rule of the rich go on. It is pros- perity.” And the answer—men and women, the fire of hunger in their wistful eyes, in a weary, bedraggled, shiver- ing line that bent serpent-like around the marble corners of Washington. There were women in the - line, swaying on their aching feet, strug- gling against sleep, fighting with anyone who attempted- to displace them They had left their babies at home unguarded against the perils of the night, while ‘they held their places. The people of this country demand prosperity for those at the bottom as well as those at the top and will have their way, regardless of politics. If the democratic party does not obey them they will seek other parties. But with its tariff revision, its in- come tax, and the other great pro- gressive laws which will .be passed, the democratic party is not faltering in carrying out the ‘wishes of the | people.

BRIEF OUTLINE OF ‘HIS.SERMON P}ofenox Wegner of Pleasing Person- ality, Takes Steps to Organize 2 Chorus, MISS J. B. LAMONT GIVES TALK Outlines Plan of the Work With Reference to Organizing Bible Class. Last evening Rev. W.-S. Colegrove delivered = the first message in the evangelistic campaign. His theme was, “Inefficiency in-Christian Serv- Hs remarks being cerning their inability to exercise a demon:". “Why could not we cast him out?” and Christ’s reply, “Because of He said in part: “Sin is an awful power, but that fact is not the only reason that men and women around us remain in its bondage—it is ‘because of our un- belief.” The resurrection of Lazar- us was delayed for a time because of the unbelief of his' relatives. They hesitated to open the grave, telling the Lord that the body was already corrupted. So the rescue and salva- jtion of those in sin is now retarded by unbelief of Christians. Christ is de- pending upon us to get the devil out of other people—He has no other channel through which to reach them. But if we are to be used by Him In winning souls we must have a deep sense of the meaning of sin as it ap- pears in God’s sight and there must be an unconditional surrender to Christ.” In the course of his sermon.
