B the direct charge that the print paperi is market had been cornered and that I a the print paper interests had con-:r ^ spired to regulate production so that j c prices might continue to mount. In! _ ^ the face of this situation he frankly [ ij told the committee there was little! 1< hope for the small town papers, and e OIK that unless quick relief was pro-! ^ vided half of them would be wiped j1' ^ out of existence. I e While other witnesses had charged' c that the market had been cornered, j s JVIr.

The loner ex-! 1' tended hearings were interrupted so 11 that the committee might confer be-1 v hind closed doors with Assistant At-, s torney General Ames, who was askedj t to recommend some way out of the t f trouble. t John A .Penton of Cleveland, Ohio, a who testified before the committee, presented the proposals today to: F Postmaster General Burleson and j ^ the federal trade commission for i a doubling the postal fate on class t publications weighing more than a a pound, and limiting daily papers to i ? 24 papers with 48 on Sunday.

May 6.?Governor Edwards of New Jersey tonight became an avowed, active candidate for the s Democratic nomination for president n of the United States. Walter W. Vicks r personal friend of the governor, is- s sued the formal announcement of his candidacy and of the opening here of v Edwards* campaign headquarters. j "Governor Edwards begins his campaign without any political machinery ? or prestige lent Kim from any source," Mr. Vicks said. "He runs ? on his record as governor of New . > Jersey, as its former comptroller and as a man of affairs in the business and financial world of this country for the past 25 years.

John ^ Lake to Mr. A. S. Tompkins. ^ Canton, China, March 22, 1920. j < Dear Mr. Tompkins: ' j * The same steamer brought your j two very much appreciated leiters, | as well as one from Bro. Tom Lan- ? f ham; and it almost made a fellow ?, homesick to read them and the churclii t bulletins you both enclosed. It cer- Q 1 tainly was thoughtful of you both ^ and I am glad Tom had such a good i time with the old church. He cer- f tainly deserves good treatment. He ] is one of the noblest fellows I ever ^ knew. He and you and many of the t old friends in Edgefield and South j. Carolina are constantly in my pray- ^ , ers. Just before your letters came, j wife and I mailed to you and to a ? * good many friends in the homeland copies of the Annual Report of our ^ mission. As you will see from, the list of names in the back of "Home and Foreign Fields/' our mission has ^ nearly fifty members. Just now, I am the unworthy chairman. As you will see from statistics in the printed report, we now have 47 churches, and 91 other preaching places (out-sta-j tions), with 8,856 members. The churches and chapels assigned to me 1 personally are 28 in number, with 826 i members. Of the 978 baptisms last " i7*?nr T Viflrl t.hp. iov of seems1 mv! v* <7 y ? ***** ???w *"y * c ?? * churches report 83. In the part of this great city assigned to my wife; I and me, and in the many other cities r and towns where she and I look after c the work, our members gave, or rais- j1 ed, last year $2,764.00, and they;t have 15 Sunday schools, with 728 I scholars. Besides this, wife and I 1 have in our field 16 schools, with 162; boys and 319 girls, all of whom study! the Bible in their own language every I ( day. This is like one couple looking after a whole association. How do I these figures compare with the Edge- j field Association? Wish you'd always send me- the association min-:? ^ utes. | As though this were not enough for! > 4^ one couple, wife rrd I, as you ses'f A from parres <56 and d4, nave at last l /"ft sncceeded in getting for the Baptists t ' I \ one of the islands near the coast in^l r L ur field that we took Dr. and Mrs. .eve to see on a gun-boat the govern-; it hr.s several times loaned us. j l'ou doubtless saw his account of n:s' up in "nome and Foreign Fiel."is"'j or April, Hi 19. When the former! .mbassailor at Washington, Dr. Wu' .""ing-fang, handed me a check the; ther day for $f>,000 for this leper' v-ork on that island, it was the hap-' iest day for us two since I came out! f the hospital after that attack of I n am! nnp;imnniji that Bl'O.

If we -can get these thousands of J ?norant heathen lepers on that is- i and three miles from shore and can ! rec-t for them a hospital and other J ecessary buildings and can help se- j ?ct and stand back of a staff of for- j ign-trained Chinese Christian phy-! olony regularly, we shall need to | ic-ians, nurses and others, visiting the j iave at our fingers' ends all that we i ver learned in the homeland and j ere, and more!

But you and the friends' it home will pray for us, we know, j China has been having a hard time J >olitically, economically, and in every ; ray; but I am by no m?ans discour- J iged. The work of preaching andj eaching the Gospel of Jesus is, after j ill, at the bottom of all the real pro- j rress she can make?and that work, t lespite China's poverty, and despite! ill her revolutions and counter-revo- | utions, is moving steadily forward. ["here was never a better / tribute to! he power of Christianity than when j ;everal of our Baptist Chineses j >reachers and physicians expressed' heir willingness to live on that! sland in the Chinese Sea, and, in ! Christ's name, to care for all the oathsome lepers that could be herded * here. Thank the Lord, wife and I { lad long since made up our minds hat we would be perfectly willing to 1 to that ourselves; but that would, of' ourse, cut us off from nearly 30 ! hapels and nearly half that many chools?and after all, it is our busi-1 less as missionaries, while leading1 he way, to put the responsibility in; verv department of the work on the i lative Christians, so that when we' lie, the work will not die. But we 1 nust and do stand --ready -to step i ight into the breach, if the native. workers fail down. j Please give our kindest regards to! our dear wife and the young folks nd to Mr. Wells and all the folks n the dear old home.
