Eagle i ’ass, T exas, Ju ly 5.—Info r­m ation b rought byjrtiessengers from Saltillo today w as th a t troops from th e division o f th e e a s t have been or­dered by G eneral Pablo Gongales tc proceed im m ediately to Q uerctarc. This move is regarded a s significant o f . the p a r t th e division o f th e east intends to p lay in the finat a ssau lt on Mexico C ity, a s th e flnal stand of the fedeiais probably will bo m ade a t Queretaro.

The m ovem ent to Q ueretaro. i t is thought hero, also w as precip itated by th t w ithdraw al o f fedora 1 troops un ­der General Pascual Orozco liaozn the Q ueretaro garrison to reinforce the Slexico C ity garrison .

W ord h as been received here ' th a t ccr.stitufionalist troops under Gen.

Cesus C arranza, th ree miles fro m San u i is Potosi, have taken C eritos in the S ta te o f Son Luis Posoti. ' t v ra il­road has been repaired to Geritos. Troops th a t go to Q ueretaro will be draw n from the command o r General C arranza, who has 18,000 now.

Colonel Francisco M ariel, who is operating under th e command o f Gen­eral Jesus C?.rranza, arrived a t Saltillo yesterday to discuss w ith th e iirs t chief conditions in the neid n ear Sm.i Luis Posoti. H e said the en tire coun­try w as friendly to ihe constitu tional­ists and th a t if sufficient a rm s could be provided General Je su s C arranza could have a force o f 85,000 within a f e w days. Cclenel dose Hernandez i iirze , w ith 600, ar.d Colonel L araga , w ith 1,000 had joined General Car- vanza recently , and th a t the re were1 0 , 0 0 0 m ore recru its anxious to join if arm s could be provided.

An crroi- made by A m erican news­papers iti re fe rring to A lfredo Brc- c-ida, r.ow in W ashington as private secretary o f General C arranza, was pointed out by arriva ls from Saltillo. Brecada, it w as explained, w as sec­re ta ry to General C arranza, when Car- ranz... w as governor of Coahuiln, and is. still a ttached to C arranza’s staff, but tiie position c f private secre ta ry to tiie first chief is held by Gustavo K.spinosa Alorelos.

i'ilferenct.-- between Genera! Villa ar.d Genera! C arranza, which are be- i: g arb itra ted by a commission a t Torreon, really were the outgrow th o f a m isunderstanding, according to th e m essengers from Saltillo. I t is said the trouble arose, a i least, in part, over the efforts o f General N atera ;> c rp iu re Zacatecas.

It is said General X ata ra either was m isinform ed regard ing the num­ber of federals in th e tow n, or con­cealed th e fac ts , g iving G eneral C ar­ranza the im pression th a t th e jrarre- soi. numbered not more th an 5,000 men.

A fter N ate ra had iost m ore than 2,300 men in his assau lts he askedi i .r reinforcem ents and ii is said, Gen­eral C arranza then sen t an o rder lo General Villa vnsed on the inform a­tion regard ing the federal streng th given him by N atera .

Villa, having advices th a t th is in ­form ation w as incorrect and th a t the f td e ra ls num bered nearly 14,000, took exception to th e order.

Your le tte r of the lo th :nst, and let*. I t r le f t a t convention enclosed has teen received, and . your le tte r noted veiy carefully.

You ask roe fo r a rem edy fo r ge t­ting together. My remedy i$ m y per­sonal a ttitu d e in the m atter. I, and I believe a ll fo rm er Republicans who voted fo r Roosevelt, did so, not as against the Republican p a rty which v e all have stood by so loyally, but as

g a in s t the national com m ittee and a few of the bosses whose methods "we coula not swallow.

Now, these national committeemen and bosses can be eliminated, and willbe if th e Republican p a rty will only

REPUBLICANS AND IVES.

Continued from Page 1. now forsake i t fo r « e of a n t» came.

Now, as to a practical way to g«t to­gether voider the condition* th a t now c « « t in the country. I believe it would be a good ide* to call both con- ventioiif fo r the tame date and place, and in the meantime instead of talk­ing Republicanism against Progress- iveism, or vice versa, talking getting together. Have a mutual understand­ing with the other faction to assem­ble in the same fcali, have a chair- ttzn who is not too closely allied with either side. Let a committee be ap­pointed, who is in favor of getting together, to bring in a resolution to th a t effect. I believe it will be. so easy you will be amazed and delight­ed a t the results.

To tell you that there are great pos­sibilities for the Republicans in this Sta te in the comparatively near future is no idle boast. Unless this admin­istration does something to check the stagnation and depression in the tex­tile industry which has already a firm hold upon the west, north and east, and is now being feit to an alarming extent south, there will be a repetition in 1916 of 1896.

I want to urge upon you the ne­cessity of conferring with the other side, and do all in your power to get together in county, congressional and sta te conventions, I am.

Yours very truly,C. C. E.

High Point, N. C., May 19, 1914,

Mr. Z. V. Walser,Lexington, N. C.

Dear Sir:I have carefully read your reply to

Capt. C. M. Faircloth and Mr. V. S- I.usk’s letter to you in today’s Greens­boro News.

1 want to tell you frankly that 1 concur i nthe opinion of you an ’ Capt. Taircloth, that Taft was nominated by questionable methods; I voted for Roosevelt as a rebuke to such m eth­ods as prevailed at Chicago and thous­ands of others in North Carolina did the same thing, end we rebuked them all right, too.

We beat them in almost every coun­ty in the United States. We kicked them out of nearly evgry county con­tention in North Carolina. Of course they kicked us out of the Charlotte convention, and good for them that they did. Vou and 1 know what would have happened if the Roosevelt fol­lowers had been turned into that

convention; before the thing was over every T aft Republican, including John Motley Morehead asid Tom Sett!® would have been kicked out, but this did not happen—all because we did net ge t in; but we went to another place and held a convention and nom­inated a candidate for Governor, though he was not known half as well he beat the socks off of Tom Settle, an you see we kicked them out of the county and also the congressional con­vention. They kicked us out of the i-tale convention. We beat the socks r.ff their, on election day.

Now it appears to me th a t in the kicking and beating the Progressives have considerably the best of the bar­gain. We gained something by our: - xwvrw'.& .

A very large majority of the Repub­lican party by their ballot adminis­tered a stinging rebuke to the bosses and methods as obtained s t ualcago. Bat whether the reaction from our rebuks, which came in the way of a Democratic President and Democratic Congress and onr whole national gov­ernment being turned over to the Dem­ocratic party, is r.ct going to be frought with more serious conse­quences to the American people than wculd have been had Taft been elect­ed has become a very grave question in my mind and to hundreds of thous­ands of others who acted as I did in this m atter.

Now, Mr. Walser, you are in great error when you say that the bosses deliberately assassinated the party. The same methods were in vogue that nominated T aft the last time tb a t nominated him the Srst time. I f Joe Cannon had had the lighting blood in him th a t Roosevelt had those meth­ods would have been exposed. If Taft had been the astute politician that

Teddy was, you would never kiv« heard of those questionable methods. The came method* and more ao ob­tained a t Baltimore that nominated Wilton. One pulled all the wires there; namely, William Jennings Bryan. Heretofore the methods by which T aft was nominated have been largely used in nominating Presidents, also governors and other officers, but no party heretofore has had the mor­al courage to rebuke, whip and spank its own leaders for their questionable methods as did the Republican party in last election.

It has been almost two years since the Chicago convention and th e Re­publicans who voted for TaA and the Republicans who vo tA for Roosevelt have been thinking. I believe that 05 per cent, of the Republicans in North Carolina who voted for Roose­velt did so on personal grunds and withut any affiliation. I believe it would be the greatest calamity, that could possibly come upon th is nation for the Republican party to fight over the carcasses that have been dead and rotten two years. To my mind there is not the ghost of an issue that :ould be raised betw-swn the two fac-. tions, except: “Who shall be in the saddle" in the councils of the party ; and the faction who would take the other by the throat and fling them out of existence in order that hey may r.'de the party horse is full of the “Chicago methods.”

To my mind, and I believe to the mino of 95 per cent, of the business men who vote the Republican ticket, not alone in North Carolina, but of the United States; it is not a m atter of how can we swallow up thc other faction or bring them to naught, but it is a very grave m atter with the business man who votes the Republi­can ticket, and I imagine many busi­ness Democrats also, and more esp*e- iaily tbe man who is now out of em­ployment for the first time since1 Cleveland’s administration as to how to secure work with the bOier hun­dreds of thousands who have recent­ly been layed off on accoun! of cur­tailing or complete shut down of bus­iness, to the business man whether h r be Democrat or Kepublican, hew am i to run at full force or resume business a t a!!. M

Kind sir, if you sre c!o.=tIy enough ] ;.!lied with the busine.~3 interest of this country you are bound to know tha; the country is experiencing the same conditions today that it txperi- tnced in 1894, especially in the east and north.

I want to say this: that i do not iielieve there is any power on “^-'Ih that can keep thc Republican votes separated. The Republican voters do nrt vote the ticket especially in tho South from a standpoint, of prejudice, but as a patriot glorying in the fact that his party knows no south, no liOrth, no east or west, and th a t he is a part and parcei of this great gov­ernment. and that his government has been made the greatest on earth by the Republican party. To separate them from the glorious traditions of the party, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, to my mind, is utterly impos­sible.

i have said much more than I ex­pected, but as a business I am much interested, and in my zeal I fee! like crying out: “In the name of Cod, why should wa exist in two factions?” The issues that divided us are gone.

Now, my dear Mr. Walser, I beg of you not to consider this a criticism of your position, but as a business man I have written just my feelings.

Yours truly,C. C. R.

“Ac*** e f JKu m h U.*Rev. Russell Herm an Conwell, p*»-

to r of the B aptist Temple, of Philadel­phia since 1881, author, lecturer and philanthropist, was the guest of the First Baptist (JhUfeh -yeaterday morn­ing. He accepted the invitation Sat­urday night to come to Greensboro, and is in this Section lecturing un­der the auspices o f a Chautauqua, ap­pearing a t High Point Saturday night.

Dr. Conwell is the author of a large number of volumes, among them be­ing “ liv es of the Presidents,” “Why the Chinese Emigrate,” e tc . He is the author of the fam ous lecture, “Acres cf Diamonds.’’ From his endeavors he has reaped millions of dollars which have been directed into channels for the uplift of humanity.

He was a soldier in the Union a iW and on entering the pulpit yesterday morning said he was suffering from rheumatism, the effect of a bullet re­ceived from some North Carolinian 59 years ago. He was one of the com­manding officers of troops about New Bern, and it was while laying wound­ed that he was found, he said, by Christ and caused to turn his life into an effort for uplift.

With the word “suffering” as a key­note he preached a sermon somewhat unique in the manner of its selection ar.d delivery, and intensely interest­ing. He said he was inclined to be­lieve that suffering is a blessing up­on men to turn them out finer crea­tures rather than a punishment for their sins; it is an influence for good, good that cannot be measured.

Hf said the suffering of the blind wan whom Jesus healed with the little spittle has given mankind a most pow­erful insight into the l if t and mission of Christ. To him the story of that miracle as told in the ninth chapter of St. John is one of the most in- tei esting and comforting in the Scrip­ture. With this chapter open before him he pictured the succeeding events of that happening with an imagina­tion that gave a clear setting, and that made he story dramatic, infused wifi thought.

Jesus and His disciples were pass­ing along the road when they saw che man by the road, blind from birth. Thc di.seiples asked, “ Who did sin, the man or his parents, that he was born H ind?" The answer was th a t neith­er has this man sinned nor his pa- len ts; but th a t the works of God should be made manifest in him.”

It is thus in our own lives, the sneaker said, th a t we are made to suf­fer for causes which we do not know, and the suffering is i. blessing from God. It was so in this case, for with this man, blind from birth, not for sins of his parents or of himself, Christ performed an act that served to make strong His lessen when He

shiil. “For judgment 1 am come into this world th a t they which see not might see; and th a t they which see might be made blind.” I t served to reveal the customs of the Pharisees a t that time wh nthey called the man who had been healed before them to ascertain who thus bad broken the Sabbath, customs fallacious, narrow and typical of mindedness.

The usefulness of suffering, the speaker said, is exemplary of the use­fulness of suffering to us. Its conse- ouences are not known, yet it tests us and improves us, and brings about the accomplishment of good.

The healed man later was brought before the Pharisees, and there arose question as to this man who had done the healing, and who had healed on the Sabbath day. Finally they came face to face with Christ, “And Jesus said for judgment, I am come into this world, th a t they which see not might see; and that they which see might be made blind. And some of the Pharisee* which were with Him heard these words ar.d said unto Him, Are wc blind also? Jesus ssid unto them, If ye were blind, ye should have no sin; but now ye say, We see; there­fore your sin remaineth.”

U T T L E PATHS OF U FK .

By W. J . *-

! A m u stood by the sea one ertti- ing ju st a i the cun was sinking. His lu lf ymm lonjr and white and his face told o f years spent in toil. I t gave a strange look, as if he were seeking for something he couldn’t understand. He wore a plain cotton shirt, open a t the neck. His trousers hung about his ankles baggy and shapeless. His shoes were ragged about the toes.. They had been much used, for the man had traveled far. He had heard of the sea and its wonders'. The best part of his life was gone; and he had 'come to those shores hoping^to find in the music ot the waters some of

I t his dreams, some of the things he had heard about back in the highlands.

The pale glow of light, a little pink, a little gray, told of ih e day’s good* 1 ^e ,an d toward the hiding sun clouds of snow-white were flying like live

things as if to give a kiss o f farew«u I t was twilight. The somber music of the rolling water, and monotonous, distant roar of the waves, seemed to hold che same spirit th a t the lone man pictured, as he stood ha t in hand, his hair flying in a stiff breeie, looking ir.io the distance, as if he saw ail the lost things of life v.-'aer-i sky act! v ;a ttr meet.

He was just an ordinary man. He had found the breath of life in a mountain cabin from parents whose ignorance later drove him t -> th s high­ways th a t carry men to Silent Places.

He had forgotten those to whom lie had once lisped in baby fashion as

Father and Mother. They were gcr.e t i e ' Valley from where there is

S.o return; and this man, who was 3

boy, began his journey through the world, to seek in his subconscious way

the theory of life. He knew not its purpose. But he wanted to know v hat Was behind the veil, what was

I -pe scheme and plan of life.Once in his travels a good woman

had given him a small cloth-bound copy of the New Testament. Sho ha-1 to!d him to read it. There she said he would find the guide to a 'i his life’s, work; there was laid down the law’s fo r man. He didn’t understand, but he kept the little book through the years, and long a lte r the good woman had found her reward in the iGieat Peace. He hue read the iittie volume many times. Tho great waters before him made him think of the Man who had walked on the sea, the4Man who said, "Be of good cheer I t ir, I. Be not afraid." Ke wonder-

sjyit he could ever see this Man;-- " As he looked across the bound!6.» sea his mind tried to grasp the b:g- wss the vastness, the wonder of the

xtjiink waters. He if.t his eyes wan- ler from the dying sun to the heav- ins, which now wecj growing dark. Jrav streaks of clouds were shifting hemseivcs into strange positions as f to ofrm a cifrtain for the night. The jusic of the waters. the moan, the Wish of the feathered waves, a t his eet, were something the man had ever heard before. He thought of iow all this was guided by the same irea t Hand that colored the purple of he mountains and gave the perfume lo the flowers that he had plucked by boyhood streams. No one had told

sim. He had read it in the little book. Somehow his feet had trod obscured placed. He had toiled where men ji-ere ro tgh , where men were only an­imals, and couldn't see the beauty trial 5od gave the world, men with bacKS bent from toil, with minds bent the teme way.

Darkness came and the man sank0 his knees in the sands. Loneliness

• ”!i upon hftn, loneliness coming from .he spirit of the noise of the sea. He Voked into the blackness. Now he l-as unable to define the thin line >at a little while ago had been the

crizon. The sky became'flooder with ^ a rs . The sweep of the firmament fysdt the man gasp a t the wonder of it; and he saw the reflection of star

ig h t. faint upon the oscilating wat- s bj |rg in g to his eyes a great beau-

Presently he looked toward the iorth. Upon the waters fa r away he aw a pale light. I t seemed to grow, nd become brighter. His eyes be­rate fastened on what he believed *. ust be some phenomena c f the sea. e waited for long moments and the

ligfct.bacwn* a* i t granr intoproportions a a d ttr iw nearer. At last& was not fa r from the shore where he was kneeling, trembling with a feeling he couldn't understand. His heart was quiet, and he felt a calm and a gladness th a t he had never felt in all his life.-

A figure on the waters, was walk­ing toward him,' the simple figure of a W n robed in white. The sea smooth­ed its ways before th e quiet firm tread of a form around which was a pale light that seemed to throw peace into the man’s soul. The robed figure with arms outstretched came a t last upon the kneeling form of the man. The latter looked up. He saw a face, beautiful in manly strength, with a touch of sadness but With a smile that vas full of understanding, tender and kind; a smile th a t was perfect. The man bowed his ' head in the sands. Presently he heard a voice. I t had ali the music of the world in its tones. There was a calm, the waters became still. The breeze lulled.

“Be of good cheer,” said the voice. “Verily I say unto you, you have found that which you seeketh, for I bring you peace which passeth all under­standing.”

Sidelights in the D m ttt ic Affairs of Mexico’s President Viewed by

Outsiders.Vera Cruz, July i .—By mail to

New York).—One of the most inter­esting facts about Victoriano Huerta is th a t he has a mother-in-law, atid that, contrary to the usual run of such affairs, she is thoroughly in sym­pathy with him. In a rather plain house, a t 581 Avenida Chapultepec, Senora Aguila, who is now 98 years old, holds forth fo r all her children and her children’s husbands and wives. Scarcely a day goes by that she does not chat with a t least 20 of her chil­dren or grandchildren, holding fam­ily court in Mexican fashion, listening tc stories of troubles or joys and giv­ing such advice as she sees fit. N j t infrequently the great dictator of

Mexico himself breezes into her quiet room for a joke and a laugh. “You rascal,” is his mother-in-law’s name for him, and he is always sure ox « welcome. There was a time, it is said, during the old days a t Monterey, Mexico, when Huerta was oniy a sew­er building contractor and money was scarce and Huerta’s habits none too steady when Senora Aguila held forth n-j kindly greeting for her daughter’s hurband. The children were coming ir-to the Huerta home rapidly, and such debts were piling up on the Huerta household that it is only since he has been “president” that Huerta has been able to pay them off. But al’ that Huerta has done in the last year or so wiped off the score with a bright minded old lady and she takes great delight in seeing her daughter,, Mary, the first lady of the Iand.

As- for the daughter, herseif, being thi- first lady of the land is not so much pleasure. Mrs. Huerta is a bright spot in the Huerta family though she is 48 years old—being 16 years oider than her eldest child, she is every inch a mother. The society folks of Mexico say of her that she docs not scintillate in society because she tries to brood- To be a mother has been her life training; to be a so­ciety woman is a thing she has never learned, because her husband is a so l' dier, and, by the /strange rule of things in Mexico, a soldier f^ns no so­cial standing whatever. At the bril- iiajit social reception which President Huerta has always insisted shali be given monthly a t Chapultepec, Mrs. Hiicita is never a t ease and Mexican society folks laugh in their sleeves at her habit of herding in a corner with her immediate relatives, while her husband, disregarding all ihe finesse of a society man, flits about the rooms from group to group, coaxing men to the sideboard or punchboni and mak­ing stinging jokes. Mexican society lievcr touk up Madero, a fte r he be­came resident, because society folks said, he was a “peon's president.”

On the contrary, after Kuerta took the presidential power, society folk

j whO hild Ja t A viDiaz regime, found it necessary to take- in Huerta and his family, because Huerta was “putting the peons where they belonged—into the army” All of this is a joke to Huerta, as he sees the inside of society’s idea. He knows well enough why he and his family have suddenly been elevated by the aristocrats of Mexico. There is noth­ing he loves better to do, in his role cf dictator than fo threaten, tactfully, in a banquet speech, to place the men of Mexico’s a r is to c ra t in the army. The face of more than one aristocrat has blanched a t Huerta’s sugegstion of this sort. In tbe exclusive Jockey Club, in the capital, where Huerta was i-.ever admitted before he seized the presidency, he delights to stand nt the bar and in sinister tones, "rum- 1 le out his threats to seize ali men in Mexico, “rich or poor,” and place the.., in the field. Analyzing Huerta family socially, their standing is nil, and what’s more, neither the dictator nor his wife care for society cr its gradings.

The eldest child of the Huerta’s is ■St-iK.ra Francisco Colon, of Monterey, wife of a civil engineer. The Colon family is now in the capital havin" fled from Monterey jasE before the rebels seized it. “She’s a woman no more,” is the way the Mexican society men describe a woman who has no so­cial training or brilliancy in conver­sation and I have had the Huerta

g irls to described to m* by a Mexican club man. Under that same rating society people of the capital place Luz Kuerta. who' is 18 years old and who in December was married to an old sweetheart of hers whom her father immediately made a colonel in the Mexican army, though he had before been only ah employe in a business house. Luz, however, under the ra t­ing in America, of girlhood, stood high in the capital. She is pretty, vivacious, always laughing. She likes Americans and once when she was a lic'.lc girl of thirteen she acknowledg­ed th a t she idealized Shanklin, the American consul general and would m arry no one but an American. Leo­nora Huerta is now sixteen years old, but, like th$ rest, of the marriageable H uerta Children, she has made hay while the sun shone on her remark­able fa ther and has becomoengaged -with this hopes of haring a “white house” wedding. The lucky young man to whom she is engaged is nam- er. Quiroz; he is only 22 years old and he was a clerk in a government cffice until Lenora’s favor settled up­on him. Lenora told her fa ther a^out Uer selection and one morning young Quiroz awoke to find that he had been appointed a general in the Mexican army! Only recently, when Huerta suspected that the chief of police of the capital was plotting against him, Quiroz was made head of the capital police, with some 4,000 armed police­men under him.

George Huerta, Victoriano’s eldest son. can be disposed of in a few words iu much the same fashion that Mexi-

’s social leaders dispose of him. They say he is “impossible.” In the o’d dii.vi folks used to pity General Huerta becaue, as th.>y said, “George never worked and was always living off bis poor old father.” The taste for cognac and for wild auto rides ar.d for chorus girls has descended, it nopears, upon George. Crude, arro­gant, selfish, all the social attention ke gets in the capital is given to him liirough fear. He. too, had a “ white house” wedding about a year a ; . .. Ueorge is about 30 years old. He has a brother Victor, about 22, who went ihrough a “white house’’ wedding or: April 2ii, the day after the Americans landed at Vera Cruz. Victor, too, has the cognac-auto habit, and in Mexican s ’an^', “loves polio," "poile” meaning fast girl?. Incidentally, “also" means “chicken.”

T'.v.j other boys of 15 and 12 years make the Huerta household.

Make Life >£et t>f Hands.Several tenants in an apartment

hou&>« at 85 Grand street, Williams­burg, were in the rear yard the other afternoon when they heard a child's screams. Glancing up* they saw AU 1‘ert Fritz, 1 year old, fall from the fourth floor fire escape.

Instinctively the women threw up then hands. They caught the child and saved its life. Mrs- Fritz was hysterical, and fell down a flight of stairs in her efforts to reach the yard. The infant had only a few bruises.

We dema.m a return to the simplicity and econ­omy which benefits a Democratic gov­ernment.” W hat &n ironic declaration. In the face of this plank in their platform, the present Democratic Con­gress has been the most wantonly wasteful in the history of the federal government. Did we bat set the s ta ­tisticians and investigators upon the Democratic “pork” bills, we could con­fine a successful campaign to them t lone. It is j.ot merely wanton waste­fulness. I t approaches grand larceny, for the Democratic party is taking the public money with a private motive— to buy its way back to power. In re ­gard to our foreign relations the

aw iag e school boy knows that the present administration, with its ‘grape ;ufeV diplomacy, has made this nation tiie laug-hing stock of the world. There is tho repeal o f free tolls to! placate England. There is Japan . There is the tre a ty w ith Colombi. There is Mexico w here we have lo st n o t. only money and reputation, b u t ihe lives of Am erican citizens.

Ivlv. Chairm an, a t a mere appropri- j a te tim e I shall indulge in a .more j extended discussion of these 'ar.d o th- [ er im portant resu lts of the present r e m o m u ie adm in istration , together wih an exposition o f th e economic pro- <;ram of the P rogressive party .

I ‘>ut far above and beyond the»e economic and political considerations ;he P rogressive p a rty is different from the old parties in th a t it seeks the happiness of th v» individual as. an e '^ u n t of p rosperity . Great issues h :n \ been before th is country in the

• A considerable accession from the Democratic party >s likewise inevit­able. That large body of forward looking men in this state, who believe in progress; but who, through preju­dice arising from the negro vote and the civil war, have been prevented /rom joining the Republican party, are now a t liberty to vote their hon­est convictions. The dead hand of the past is now lifted from the politics of the present; and a new party of prog­ress cannot be thwarted by the ghosts of reconstruction. A spirit of unrest is abroad in the land.

of a notorious fact to say th a t P re s­ident Wilson owes h is presen t elevat- «d sta tion to Theodore Roosevelt. T h e election figures show th a t so clearly th a t no t even th e m ost abject of the W ilson idolators— say, fo r ex~ ample, th e Hon. Josephus D aniels— -will question it. While Colonel Rooso? velt doubtless took aw ay some votes from D r. W ilson, the popular vote fo r T a ft and Roosevelt exceeded th a t fo r Wilson by 1,319,000. H ad i t not been divided by the Roosevelt vote. Dr: W il­son would have been defeated.

i t is, o f course, in no sp ir it o f g ra t itude fo r th is friendly aid and indeed probably unw ittingly, th a t P resident Wilson is paving the way fo r h is bene­factor to re tu rn to the W hite House. The President m ay not know th is, but th e Colonel does, and is m aking h is plans accordingly.

In 1912 - the.-Colonel’s voice, which no th ro a t specialist dared to curb, w as raised alm ost wholly ag a in st the sins of the party he was leaving—the tim e of absence not definitely fixed. The offenses of the Republican N ational Committee, the crime of the Chicago Convention, th e corrupt alliance o f th e p a rty as a p a rty w ith m alefactors c f g rea t wealth and th e predatory ich were the issues Ki. which Coior.el

Roosevelt and his lieu tenants pound- o l aw ay incessantly. B arnes, Pen­rose and Cannon were, of course, in ­cluded in the to rren ts of invective, bu i only as cogs in the machine th a t

:s to be overthrown.

As fo r the Democratic p a r ty , it re ­ceived little a ttention a t the hands of the Progressive cam paigners. T heir whole purpose was to sm ash th e Re- pub'ican party , and they did i t well.

But m ark the change th a t has come over the sp irit o f the Colonel. N eith­er a t P ittsburgh nor in his le tte r to Dr. Lyman Abbott, on th e cataclysm ic

,<sion of his quiting h is job on The Outlook, is there a word of rebuke

hostility tc the Republican party . Barnes and Penrose come in fo r the iinblasting which the wicked deserve;

l u t instead of being trea ted a s mere sy.mptoms of a g rea t and fundam ental evil, now ap pear as the evil itself, r ’xtirp." ‘ them, am putate them as you wouid a gangrenous toe, and the body i> litic o f Republicanism is good enough fo r the Colonel—a t least so 1 ,l]- a? any words of h is would indi­cate.

A phrase in the la tte r of Dr. Lyman Abbott accepting the Colonel’s re s ig ­nation i.s significant:

‘•The Progressive p a rty is the or- g a n k representative in America o f a {-real human movement. Throughout the wor! the people are dem anding a more direct and conirollrag share in governm ent and a be tte r m easure o f social justice. ‘ Vour en­deavor to bring the Republican p a rty ii:to line with th is movement succeed­ed despite the apparently successful oppcsition of those who control u s po­litical m achinery.”

I t is reasonable to believe th a t D r. Abbctt, a patriotic publicist ra th e r than a politician, merely echoed th e thoughts and words o f his re tirin g C ontributing E dito r when he declared ih a t the effort to bring the Republi­can p a rty into line w ith progressiv-

boundari** th e course pursued by tlM A dm inistration h a s m ean t th* aban­donm ent of every sane effo rt to se­cure the abatem ent o f social arid in- dusrial evils. I U ‘legislative and ex . ecutive program m e h a s brought about grave industrial depression and suf­fe rin g to business m an, fa rm er and wage-worker alike, a lthough perhaps n'Oit o f all to th e w age-w orker."

Opinions such a s these w ill alienate no old-line Republicans nor make the Colonel's re tu rn to his old allegiance difficult. T hey will scarcely alarm Progressives and w e fe a r th a t some Democrats in sorrow w ill confess the justice o f some counts in th e indict­ment. W hether Theodore Roosevelt is precisely th e person to find the in­dictm ent is indeed a question, bu t a purely academic one.

H itherto P residen t W ilson has gone serenely ahead, enacting in to law his i‘M personal convictions and impress ing upon the U nited S ta te s in its fo r­eign relations h is own narrow and lim ited characteristics. H e and his a tv ise rs have said th a t th e Republi­can-Progressive sp lit would enable them to act w ith indifference to pub- l:e opinion, as , indeed, in m any m at­te rs they have. B ut th e end o f th a t bright illusion ia a t hand.

“The OirUtiim Miaiatry af Miric,” P ttlss

July 12.When deeply moved, people sing.

That is why primitiva r«ce have their w tr songrs and their tribal lays and love songs. The oldest religious lit­erature known—the Hindu Vedns —are songs. Some 'of the earliest passages in tbe Hebrew Old Testament a re songs. Whenever the soul attempts its highest exercise, whkh is rorship, it bursts into song. And the promise ot Revelation is th a t th* redeemed •will have a new song in their mouths; and that about the throne the t 'ortous rcifipany will sing “the song of Moses and tbe Ln:..b.M

ly to he overlooked. Contrast the ban­ality «f “Beautiful Isle o f Somewhere-" with the dignity and exaltation of

“Jesus, th e very thought of Thee, With sweetness fills my breast.

But sweeter fa r Thy face to see, And in Thy presence re st.”

A song r.'V.fces fa rther and preaches t-e'-ter than a oem on.

The world has forgotten th a t Top- . ltdy was a famous controversialist, arri th a t his hymn w > written to prive a t h ‘)iOgical do? but all creeds unite their h aarfi in singing:

“Rock of Ages, cleft lo r me,Let me hide myself i t Thee.”

So. also, Kev. Henry Francis Lyte’s beautiful life and many sufferings are unknown to the public, but millions h tve poure<Lforth the deepest senti­ment of their spirits in his hymn:

“Abide with me: fast falls the even­tide;

The darkness deepen^; Lord, with me, abide.”

Praise is prayer perfected.

To give the world a g reat song Is to have Served mankind profoundly. Luther’s voluminous writing are most­ly known culy to historians but his hymn

“A mighty fortress is oar Cod,A bulwark never failing.”

has become port of thc faith of count­less multitudes o f Christians,

One of the religious bodies, tne f riends, still clings, in certain of its branches, tc the belief that music has no place in worship. How fa r this ex­plains the falling away of the young­er generation of Friends it w..uM te difficult to say. The two ancient branches of the pre-Reformatjon church, tho Greek Catholic and the Ro­man Cathoiic. have always fillet cheir order of worship with sacred music. Every revival of religion is attended with song. The spiritually moved cry with the Psalmist:

"Sing aiound unto God our s-ietigtn: Make a joyful noise unto the God of

Jacob.K aisc .a song, and bring hither the

timbrel,The pleasant harp with the psaitry.”

“O sing unto Jehopah a new song: bjng unto Jehop&h, all the earth. Sing unto Jehopah, bless His name; Show forth His salvation from day to

day.’

The persons whose childhood is not bright with memories of Christian hymns sung by a godiy mother have missed one of the priceless heritages.

A good m ie for everybody living is to go nowhere and do nothing that cannot be accompanied by a song in the heart. L fe may be set to music. We instinctively depend upon the per­son who sings a t his work. And when those songs a re not the empty, pass­ing jingles of the day, but the music c f the fadeless gospel, they give a sacramental charactj&tto all tire of­fices of life; they hei; one, like lirother Lawrence, to “practice the y: essence of God.” The singing heart is the saintliest.

ft%sider.t Wilson several years ago stirred up a breeze by an address c rit­icising what he termed “religious rag­time.” He cited certain popular Sun­day school songs which are meaning- k-si and trivial and unworthy of the e.calted theme of religion. The music publishers are. by their commercial zeal, threatening the purity of the music of the churches. To debase the taste of the people in the m atter of religious innsic is an offense not light -

The saddest scene in the life of Jesus is the scene in the upper room, *fter the last supper with the dis­ciples. Judas had gone on his nefar­ious mission. The IX and their Lord were together in the heart-breaking intimacy of a common sorrow. The Master had lifted the veil of the mor­row, and let them see what awaited Him of shame and death. I t was the world’s darkest hour. Yet the rec­oin runs, “And when they had sung a hmyn, they went into the Mount of Olives.” Singing on the way to GetK- temane! . A hymn in the night! Re­joicing in the face of the Passion! Who will paint this wonderful picture of the singing Christ? He is our ad­monition to face our fa te with a song on our, lips. Whatever life may do to us, it should not take away our song. There are no circumstances possible in life—-so we are bound to say, in the light o f this picture of th ^ singing Christ—wherein a Christian may not. « iig praises to Ms God.

A child’s1 song may bear a message of grace which the learned divine’s sermon cannot carry.

Save tke Hm c Tewa.Thousands of Towns and Villages

ere Dead or Dying—and they don’t know it! (The dead rarely know it!) They have lost sight, heart a^id hear­ing. They h * t^ sleeping sickness; have been torn by feuds and schisms; have been stabbed by trolley wires; have committed Sears-Roebuck-tcide! They have Ait their long distance con­nection with progress and blown out the gas. They say to every child reaching skyward, “Is not this the carpenter’s son?”

So Jesus Did Not Do Mighty Works in Nazareth, and he left the Home Town. Every Home Town th a t is losing its boys and girls is losing its Immortality. The town th a t young people leave is the Town th a t young people Ought to leave. "The Rea­son Some Boysi Go to Hell is Because They Have No Other Place to Go:”

Oh, Let Us Save the Home Towns! America is to become glorious, not in the glory of a few great cities, but 5n the glory of innumerable Homes and Home Towns.. Here the source of the red blood of redemption, not the crowd and the storkless city.

The Lure of the Country Must Con­quer the Lure of the City. We must get together and make the Home Town the'B rightest Spot on the Map. —The Chautauqua Association.

During the Spanishr-American war I assisted for a time in one of the Y. M. C. A. tents, and we conducted nightly meetings w ith' the troops. Nearby was the division hospital, and the patients loved to listen to*the mu­sic. The hymn for which hey often- esl asked was “Jesus Lover of My Soul.” This is the favorite hymn in the English language. All of us at forac time or other, want the refuge of the tender, loving Christ. And in the soul’s i:ightwatches He gives this song of com fort and peace.

One hundred and eight years ago, the first five student volunteers for f reign missions met in the rain un­der a haystack a t Williams College, Mass., fo r prayer. In Kansas City iu January 5,000 met in the great Student Volunteer Convention. If our best college life is willing to go, the rest of us surely must back up that life with our gifts. Money is much

i easier to give than life.

Jinx Was on His Trail.Minneapolis, Minn., July 5.—John

Woods, of Chicago, recently left his home city fo r Minneapolis and here is what has happened to him:

fi: Milwaukee he fell off a box car and fractured bis right arm.

In La Crosse he h:*d pneumonia.In Goljsh, Wis., h-.> was “doped” and

robbed of $146.In Minneapolis he was sentenced to

tne days in the workhouse for va­grancy.

“ Maybi this will be the end of it,” fait) Woods. “I think some old jinx h; s been on my trai!.”

, Worih While.It is easy enough to be pleasant

When life flows by like a song, But the man worth while is the one

who will smile When everything goes “dead wrong”

For the test of the heart is trouble, And it always comes with the years,

Ai:d the smile that is worth the praise on earth

Is tbe smile that shines through years.

I t is easy enough to be prudent When nothing tempts you to stray,

When, without or within, no voice of sin

Is luring your soul away.But it’s only, a negative virtue,

Until it is tried by fire,Ar.d the life that is worth the honor

o? earth Is the one that resists desire!

By the cynic, the sad, the fallen,Who had no strength for the strife,

The world’s highway is cumbered to- day,

They make up the items of life. But the virtue that conquers passion

And the sorrow th a t hides in a smile—

It is these that are worth the homage of earth,

For we find them but once in a while.

—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Not a Suppliant.Mrs. Larkin had a Tery good house­

maid who had been with her some years, and one day the gir! told her m istress that she would have to leave, as she was going to be married, re­bates The Monthly Magazine.

“Indeed!” said Mrs. Larkin, “and what is your future husband, M ary?”

“Please, ma’am,” was the reply “he’s an asker.”

“A w hat?” queried the mistress. “An asker.” repeated Mary.“I don’t understand,” said Mrs.

Larkin, “ what does h.; do?”“ Well, ma’am,” expiBl.<e<i tiie gi?i,

“he goes about the streets, arid if he sees anybody coming along that looks kind, he—well, he ju st stops them and asks them to give him a ti ii.e, and he makes quite a comfort­able living, ma’am, in that way.”

“ hu t, Mary,” replied the mistress, in astonishment, “do you mean he is a beggar?”

“V'eil, ma’am,” said Mary, “some people do call it that; but we call it ‘asker.’ ”

As Children Say ii.' ‘John,” said the teacher, address­

ing a smiling, red-headed member oi her class, “Please make a sentence for us, using the word ‘disposition.’ ”

Said John, squaring his fists in pu­gilistic manner:

“When a boy wants to fight ye youse takes dis position.”

History is often puzzling to the childish mind, and battles, in especial, prove troublesome, says The Chicago Kecord-Herald. This is the examin­ation paper handed in by a certain small boy doing his best to assimilate United States history:

“General Braedoak was killed m the Revolutionary War. He had threo horses shot under him, and a fourth went through his clothes.”

A Sunday chool superintendent t',!d the story of Elisha and the bears. Then, wishing to impress the moral lesson, he asked:

“Now, children, what does this sto­ry show?”

“Please, sir,” said a shy little maid­en, “I t shows how many children two she bears can hold.”

“My goodness, Pat,” protested Sir. Skids, “the man was guilty. Why did ycu not convict h im ?”

“Begorrs,” replied Pat, “hanging would have been too good for him,”— Judge.

CkiM Mcrriagtc.Under the laws of many atatt.*,

writes Frank Keezer of the Boston bar, mere children have a legal right to marry before they are old enough legally. As all marriages are based upon * contract, no persons should have a legal right to m arry until they a r t of full age of contract. Then all m arriages shoud be civil marriages, and if the parents want a church cele­bration after, let them have it.

But today ministers of all denomi-. nations, creeds or callings, priests, aldermen, mayors, judges, justices of the peace, commissioners and almost anybody can perform a marriage cer­emony. This is not right. In some States girls of 14 years of age hav^p a legal right to marry. This is wrong. The laws should be changed;—Case and Comment.

Homeyer, whose w eight is close to ‘500 pounds, pleaded not guilty and was held fo r fu rth er hearing.
