DR. KNICKERBOCKER'S
CARD.
Dr. Knickerbocker"! card Irt full la aa
follows:
' In a perfectly good hwoored way I
1 desire to write the first literature in the
' Methodist church on the Rhlca of ec
. clealaatlbal elections. Every Innovation In
tha world haa had to have a beginning
and usually the Innovator la made a mar'
tyr or a "goat according to the serious
neaa of the Innovation. "
The other day. with gullenesa frank-
neaa and alncere motives I published a
little card advocating the election to the
bishopric of a man by calling attention
to undeniable characterlatlca upon which
Methodism haa ever placed the highest
premium. To my eurprUe many of my
brethren lifted up their hands in holy .hor-
' ror. It la very certain that the facta
exonerate me from classification aa a pol
Itlclan. for had 1 been a politician I woiu
little .card In Question.. I tot tired
saying tha same thins over and over and
was like tha little boy who pasted his pray
er on the bead of his bad and begun and
ended his devotions with the simple state
meats' "lord them'a my sentiments.
In this day of efficiency tha method
that uv time and energy muat com
mend Itself to us. . I have been personally
approached by the frtenda of IS men who
privately nominate by tne voice memoa
heir candidates. I calculated that In all
probability each "candidate" haa -at least
ten friends and If these ten performed
their work efficiently they must Interview
every one of the delegates. Tnai wouia
necessitate something over 46.000 pri
vate interviews. This leads me to cay
very frankly that I do not condemn any
man who haa been promulgating private
nominatlona by any kind of frank meth
ods. More than that. I hope to see the
day when we will follow the example oi
the Episcopalians who are certainly not
lacking In ethics or dignity and have fair
and frank nominating speeches on the
floor of the conference. A witty and wise
member of thla n resent general con-
: ferenca cava me thla eDlgram:
Men are eiectea to cnurcn oirioes on
two counts: One of them Is ability and
the other Is visibility."
The man with the arealest visibility.
haa the vaat advantage over the man who
only has ability. There ought to be some
method to remedy thla. and tne remedy
most certainly la greater frankness in
nominations. .
I am aware that there are some very
good men Vho believe that they are Re-
sponsible foe their vote but not for thalr
influence. . I can rfct for a moment sub
scribe to that view. I conscientiously be
lleve that It Is every man's duty to help
put into office by every legitimate metn
od strong efficient outstanding men;
and If the office la an ecclesiastical onn
all the more la the slacker who shirks his
responsibility tar be condemned. I there-
have nut my ear to the ground and toeld
it there If need be until the1 crickets
crawled Into it. that I might find out
the way the procession waa moving before
1 too it a step.
It Is axiomatic that for a man to vote
Intelligently he must have information.
When he la voting between men he muat
have personal Information. In the case at
Issue an office In the church there are
three possible sources and methods of In-
formation: Public nomination private
nomination or angelic information. I
grant you the time waa when the tradi-
tions of Methodism accepted the . third
source of Information as practically the
' principal source from which guidance waa
to be gained. '
I may be a heretic but I must firmly
assert that I do not believe the angeia are
nominating anybody at thla general con-
ference that Is to say except through a
human medium. So we eliminate the
angelic source. We have then left the
other two. Nominations of Individuate
by one of these two methods is a human
necessity.
Private nominations may be made In
three ways:. By letter by voice andstiy
card. It Is a well known fact which
none can successfully deny that nomina-
tions by letter and by voice have been
very largely used In the past and are
being very largely used In the present.
DOE3 NOT SEE
DIFFERENCE.
I may be very dense- but I have not
yet been able to see . the difference in
propriety or principle between handing
a man a card and saying "Read that
and digest It" and whispering the same
thins; to him n a private car. If there
is any difference it seems to me te be
very much in favor of my method both
In 'point of frankness '.and accented re-
eponslblllty and great economy of time..
1 contesa mat tne last point was the
principal one moving me to produce the
fore make bold to carry the war Into the'
enemy'a country and meet my critics face
to face with criticism for criticism. I
would feel forever condemned if I folded
my hands .piously over my g astronomical
apparatus and let some "Grand Nancy"
or "Sister Susan" be put Into an office
that shouldT have been filled hr a man.
As Ood Is my witness I have had no ax
to grind and deaire only the best interests
of the church and of the kingdom of Ood.
I would not vote for my own brother If I
did not conscientiously bellevevthat he
waa the best fitted man for the office for
which he aspired. I would not trade' my
single individual vote for enougtt Votes to
elect every friend I nave. I would not lor
any consideration enter into combinations
or resort to manipulations of any sort.
One last good humored Word aneat my
card: Tq indorse private nominations by
voice wnlcb it seems to me every thlna-
Ing man must do after having read this
Drimal literature on the ethics of
ecclesiastical eleotlons and then condemn
my little card la to make a distinction
without very much more difference than
the little boy made In the following story
Little Jimmy was accustomed to going
next door to a kind neighbor's house and
when he would get hungry he'd ask for
some cookies. His .mother found it out
and reproved blm very severely ' and
Dromised him a whipping if he ever did it
again. One day shortly thereafter he came
nome from-tne netgnbor s nouse wish tell
tale orumba on his llpa and the front
of his apron. His mother said: "Jtmmie.
didn't I tell you not to ask for cakes?"
"Mamma 1 dldnt ask for any cakes.
Jlmmle replied. "Why my son do you
mean to tell me a lie? I see the crumbs
on your lips. Didn't you eat some cakes
at the neighbor s?." Insisted the mother.
"Yes mamma I did but I didn't ask
for them." "How did you get them.
tnenr- inquirea tne roomer. Why
mamma when I got hungry I Just said.
this whole house smells to me like H
was plumb full of cookies; but that don't
ao me no gooa.

terpreted means "Nuff aed." This endetb

BUSINESS WOMEN SEW FOR BABIES
OVERSEAS
' Seven doien baby Kits completed for
the American Women's hospitals in the
war sone Is the splendid record of the
Houston Business Woman's club. The
members have been giving Thursday
night of avery week to this form of war
work since early last autumn. AU of them
are women holding responsible positions
and spending their daylight hours at busi-
ness or professional pursuits but neither
the extra work brought by war conditions
nor the strain of increased demands of
the employed at this time have interfered
with their plan to contribute their share
to alleviating suffering among the war-
torn nations overseas.
The club was one year old February
1S and" for so young an organisation haa
: worked with unusual earnestness to ac-
complish Its purpose. Originally formed
to promote abetter feeling between busl-'
' nesa and professional women of the city
' and for fostering the building of a club
'' home the members soon realised the
: necessity for contributing to the war
work assigned to women and have given
' much valuable time to that service.
t When-the situation m Europe became
so critical as tcHnvolve the United States
the 'time seemed ripa to begin and the
c lub chose the American Women's bos-
After Working All Day Have
Made Seven Dozen Kits at Night
pltals aa a channel through which to
reach hose whom they wished to help.
They have found the making of the Jos-
ens of baby kits a delightful task a labor
of love bringing large returns In vision-
ing the comfort they will bring to un-
happy or destitute mothers overseas.
A number of business men have heard
of the work and made voluntary contri-
butions of money although the club has
never- made any public appeal for- funds
financing the work tbjbugh voluntary
pledges of the memberirto be paid each
month. Material la bought In quantities
of 1000. to 1500 yards at a time at whole-
sale prices. Three electric sewing ma-
chines have Been donated and the use of
four others loaned for this work. Sets
sors thimbles- and aimllar supplies have
also been donated. Each kit contains
everything needed for a new baby from
plus to finished garments. '
The club is divided for this work into
Siads of 46 each with a captain for each
lad and the' sewing begins every
ursday night at ( o'clock in the' club
room 321 Union National bank building.
Dr. Elva A. Wright is president of the
club. Miss Minnie Bolton Is vice presi-
dent MrV Charlie Claire Knaap la secretary-treasurer.
Miss Lauretta C. Roeller
is corresponding secretary and Mlaa Annie
Abercrombie is chairman of the war work
committee. . .

The Importance of swatting the roos

back lotters and many commercial poul-
ry keepers permit tne male biros to run
with the laying flock during these hot
months. .
Every ferule egg Is capable or germ
development at a temperature of 68 de-
grees or above. This means that every
egg laid by hens running with cock birds
are soon unfit for human food when sub
jected to 68 degrees or more for a short
period. It means even more than this.
newiy iaia fertile egg may present
very objectionable appearance on the ta-
ble due to the development of the germ
while the egg Is held within the hen's
orlduct prior to laying. Many hens un-
der poor conditions or careless handling
may not lay a fully developed egg for 10
hours causing devetbpment of the germ
to the extent of forgilnc blood ring when

Well I guess there isn't any doubt about
us starting for France right away unless
they are Just making a lot of suckers
out of all of us. officers and men alike.
h You would think .everybody waa going
to get married or something (Ike that the
way we are all happy and laughing and
acting like a lot of kids. And I guess It
won't be pretty fine to have a long train
ride and spend a week or two in a con.
centratlon camp near the old Atlantic
and maybe even get to go to .New York
city before we sail. Then we get a week
or ao on the old brlmey deep and then'
comes France. '

Still everybody kind or nates to leave
this old camp. We come nere draft men
but I guess right now when It oomea to
spirit and training and most everything
else we got It smeared all over all these
volunteer birds of all kinds.
Borne of us fellows have heard that
Regulars and some of the National Guard
think they got It on ua four ways from
the Jack and that they're going to show
us up lf we ever have to fight alongside
of them. Well listen you American peo
ple there ain't any outnt in tne wnoie
American army that's got any -business
flirting with us drafted men and expect
ing to get away with anything. We didn't
have tn dlarememberer a lot of Stuff like
both the regulars and the -guards did and
we dldn t elect our omcers becauae tney
was good spenders and kind to their folks
either. We started out in life Our Na-
tlonal Army of Freedom all clean and
square without owing anybody a cent
and having a fresh page.
Weil we ain't written much on that
Kge yet but we will before we come .
ok from France with service ribbons
on our chest. Us' draft soldiers don t
know much only this us flsst half mil.
Hon and the three or four or five million
drafted men coming after us are going
to bethe teal American army. We'll bo
tha an-e.t army In the veara to coma ana--"
no others can set any too rast pace or
fine standards of fighting. We're going to
help write history ourselves.
So we don't care at all If you do call
us drafted men we're getting kind of
proud of it.
