Laughlin Acquitted.
Albert Laughlin of Denison \vn«
acquitted by a Jury in Judge F. E.
Wilcox's Fifty-Ninth IHstrlct Court
Saturday afternoon at I lo'clock of the
murder of his brother-in-law, Joe
Rrnhn, In penisou two years ago, /f'"
The case ended more abruptly ^thaii
was expected. Wheu testimony was "Y
concluded after 2 o'clock Sahir(Jay. V W
the case was immedhitely given t<;
tlie Jury without argument byVfitlier
the State or the defense.
Laughlin, who is an employe of
the Katy Shops iu Denlson, was giv-
en a trial about oru> year ago, and
the Jury failed to B|tre«' on a verdict.
Testimony at the trials showed that
the difficulty between the men was
of a family nature. Laughlin and
Bruhn having married sisters. Testi-
mony introduced by tlie defense tend-
ed to show that Hruhn had made a
number of threats against laughlin.

Ia*t week, aomethlng'uew happened.
Not only new but extraordinary.
Something almost uuheard of In the
lealttt Of civic hospitality.
Of jourse, wlien a Hethodlat Confer-
ence . meets in your town everybody,
Methodists and allv open their lionies
and entertain the ministers, bishops,
presiding elders, laymen and every-
body. Isrt't the preacher a sjlarle.l
niau? Certainly, but the bigger the
preacher a Ad the bigger his salary, the
more there are who are wrangling U>
entertain him. Is his salary docked In
cause he goes to conference. Oh, no;
that is a part of his business. That is
what he is paid for ti e same ai
preaching, visit lug the elck and tnT.? u;
collection. When he arrives lu" the
hosted city do the people refuse to
tntertaln him because be will be paid
for the tftne he la there? Certainly
not! We Imve all been trained for
• generations to open our homes and en-
tertain our mluUters. We ha\c been
taught tliat it was a courtesy we owed
our ministers jnd we never think of
such a' thing as Inviting a mlnlsteria'
conference to our town and then
ihitrglug the delegates for the fried
chicken they eat
Same is true of tlie missionary so-
cletica uf every church. Sure! Wheu
the church women meet In your town
to study ways au^l means to, educate
the little heathen In China," South
Africa or tlie FIJI Islands, you meet
them at the trains with your automo-
biles, open your homes, feed them the
very best the season affords and put
them to sleep In your best spare beds.
All free. And the home society pays
their (raveling expense* ! •
When the Cattlemen's Convention
meets In y<gir town, yon put on a full
week's entertainment and spend hun-
dreds of dollars providing amusement
for Its delegates.
When the woman's chilis hold their
convention in your town, the home
clubs pay the railroad, fare of tlie
delegates and the hostess city throws
Its doors wide open. For weeks and
nouths coimulttecn are at work listing
homes, planning receptions, luncheons,
drives, and everything good and nice
and free for the visitors. And the more
diamonds ami feathers and silk and
lace the delegate displays the better
entertainment she is likely to nceive.
lrtit wheu It Is announced tl at the
Teachers' lustitute Is to be held iu
your town for a week, what happens":
As a rule, everybody liu* something im-
portant to do that week. And these
are some'of the remarks you hear:
•They are being paid for their time,
m go to the hotel," "They get
a salary, let them pay their own hills.'"
"I haven't time to fool willi the teach-
ers. Fm too busy." "They would have
their hoard to pay if tlicy were teach•
ing." "What's the difference whether
they are teaching or attending the
Institute?"^ "Why, If I were to hoard
these tench.*rs for a week they would
save Just that much money off of me"
"Pshaw! Can't nobody work me that
n.1; !**
And yet, aud yet, and yet! The
Teachers' Institute is to the |e«clu<r
and the school just exactly what the
convention and the conference is to
the minister and the church, (lie eiub
woman and the club, the cattleman
the cattle. The only differences
ill Pull for

Bare feet and tattered clothea, little to eat and lesa to wear, such ts the
ftlta of thousands of children in central' and eastern Europe. These boys In
Poland are enly a sample of the 8,500,000 destitute youngstera that the Euro-

To that end eight great organizations In America have merged to form the

Friends' Service Committee (Quakers), the Federal Council of the Churches of

to raise 133,000,000 to help the European children over the bilL *
Teachers' Institute!
Now, here comes a marvelous
change. A new order In social af-
fairs. It came last week at (Juanatw
Texas, when thq cltiseens of Quanah
opened the doors of their hearts, their,
homes and their city to the Joint
Teachers' Institute ot King, Motley,
Cottle, Foatd aud Hardeman Counties
from Deo .13 to Dctv IS, and by so do-
ing placid the teachers of these five
counties on the same social level with
tlie ministers, the church women, club
women and the cattlemen. The citi-
Kens of (Juanah met these 21( teacher*
atr the trains with curs, took
them to their homes, gave them the
best they luid, entertained in in nor ot
them at one of their beautiful church-
es and made them feel so welcome and
• •
so happy that for once in their lives
they were all g|ad they were teachers.
It turned the Teachers' Institute into
a real, rare treat, instead of a Ions
drawn out dread and placed in the
work of educating our own cl ihlrcu on
it level with Jhe i^uistry, where It
ought to h". and on the level with the
education o:' the heathen and il.e ciuh
