The Kansas Democratic editors have
had a meeting, at which they resolved
to warn the people against the Farmers
Alliance, and to stick to straight De-
mocracy throughout. 1t is wonderful
how times change. These same men
aided in wheedling the Alliance into
existence, and now they issue solemn
''warn" against it. All this because the
Alliance refused to fuse with the Demo
cratic party. By recently collected and
wholly reliable statistics, it is shown
that the farmers of Kansas are discharg-
ing their mortgage Indebtedness at the
rate of s10,000,000 per year. Soon the
Alliance men will return to the Repub-
Iican fold, and the Democratic party of
Kansas will again be in the hole. This
is probably the reason the Democratic
editors of Kansas have so suddenly
found out that the Alliance is so bad.

IT is not probable that the date of the
county convention can now be changed,
and in some respects, perhaps, at this
late day it would not be advisable to do
so, but every Republican can put him
self in readiness to work for the ticket
as soon as it is in the field. The cam
paign will have to be made in two
months, and it will require solid work.
There will need to be no time lost in
organizing and getting down to bust
ness. By being ready and going to
work at once, everything can be safely
secured.

Colored Men in Trouble.

colored, of Barnesville, was arrested on
the charge of perjury, and Wilbur Goings,
colored, was also arrested on the charge
of subornation. 1t appears that Goings
was recently married to Laura Randolph,
who is less than Is years of age. Gibson
secured the license for the parties, and
to do so, swore that the girl was of legal
age But previous to the marriage
Goings had had criminal relations with
the girl, and the trouble for the couple
increased The friends of the girl then
instituted proceedings against the men
as stated, and they were bound over to
court.

Death of Frank Jackson.
Frank Jackson died from Inflammation
of the stomach on Sunday evening He
had been sick but short time, having

never failing to win over the most
vicious animal by firmness and kindness.
He will be much missed by every one.

THE Democratic State Convention is
in session, but up to the hour of going
to press, no nominations have been
made. However, it is certain that
Governor Campbell will be renominated.
A shooting affray between Campbell
and Neal delegates, from Cincinnati,
occurred on Tuesday evening. A by
stander was struck but not seriously
injured. The Convention is anything
but harmonious in all its proceedings.

GOVERNOR HoADLy is man tutored
in the school of experience, and, being
interviewed, he says: "It is remark
able fact that no Democratic Governor
of Ohio has ever been successful for
reelection. In 1887, was badly beaten;
so was Powell two years after that
The average has been that Democrat
can be elected in Ohio about once in
six years, but not reelected. In other
words, Ohio is a Republican State"

Y. p. S. c. E.

Ten years ago DR.. T. E. Clark, of
Portland, Me-, worked out plan in his
pastoral work Neighboring pastors
heard of his success, and adopted his
plan. 1t spread swiftly East and West.
To-day DIR. Clark is at the head of the
Y.P.S S. c. E. Last week this order
held convention at Minneapolis. In
Vulnerable trains loaded exclusively
with delegates poured into the city from
all parts of this country and Canada A
grand total of $1,000 delegates, repre-
senting 1924 local societies, and a
Membership of 1,008,980, crowded the
twin cities.
These are astounding statistics, and
they have a vital significance. They
show that Christianity is fast finding
out what the devil knew long ago, and is
learning to utilize in its work most
powerful agency. Under the old meth
ods of church activity the young found
no method of expressing their religious
enthusiasm. 1t was not considered by
their elders as of any Importance. They
were expected to grow in Christian vir-
tues without exercising those virtues.
But it was soon found that this would
not work. Emotion of any sort must
find expression. Kept corked up..it will
mould and rot This is the secret of
the wonderful growth of the Y. P. 5. c.
E. The young people adding to their
religious zeal the energy and fervor of
their youth, have only given a palpable
outlet to their inward feelings. Such
work deserves only praise, for it is a
vast step in advance of old methods.
