If you are opposed to the government
ownership of railways and telegraph
lines can you give a good reason for
your position on that question? II the
principle is wrong the world ought to
know it soon, as 1t is rapidly coming
to the front and being accepted by men
In all politics. II you have good reasons
why government ownership of the ma
tural monopolies is wrong you ought
to at once make them known. Who
knows but what you are the very one
to undeceive the people in this matter
and expose the fallacy-if fallacy II be
OF government ownership of railways?
Then, again. is it not possible that the
principle may be right and you are
wrong? Is II not possible that you are
guided more by prejudice than COM
mon sense and reason? Is II not alto
gether probable that party bias may
have a good deal to do in the makeup
OF your judgment! That you oppose
government ownership because your
party opposes 1t or does not indorse It?
In short is not the reason Of your sp-
position based on the fact that you are
very much like a poll-parot-mouth-
Ing over words you have heard some
body else say. and really have no we'll
aefned opinion Of your own in the mat
ter?

The alien landlords who hold 25,OOO,-
900 acres of land in this country will
escape taxation under the decision OF
the Supreme court of the United States
on the income tax laws. The Astors and
great land syndicates, who own mil
lions Of acres of land and derive mil
lions of dollars from rents, also es-
cape. Why should these land owners
escape? 1t is true the Supreme court has
decided the law as applied to incomes
from land rents unconstitutional. but
what fair-minded man believes the de-
cision a just one, except those greedy
landowners who are heartless? Very
few men have any respect for a de-
cision that seems to have been strained
to protect as far as it was possible 10
do the very wealthy classes. This de-
cision is so closely akin to the noted
bred Scott decision that it is already
meeting with the righteous condemna-
ton and contempt Of the people, who
look upon justice as now rendered by
the courts as miserable farce.

Camp rleeting.
THURSDAY.

Camp meeting drew a large crowd
last night. The choir is becoming
a mighty musical thrOng. AS an evil
denc9 of the interest Of the Dartici
pants it was noted that large major
ity of them were in their places for
the praise service at 1870 o'clock.
They were reinforced last night by
the Wellington male Quartette, who
favored the audience with a choice
selection, THE Golden Gate Ii
was highly appreciated.
The subject of discourse by Evange-
list Boles was "ChriSt in the Old Tes-
lament" We heard remarks that ii
was the best sermon he has yet
preached. He took up the prophecy
of the coming of Christ and showed
how literally it had been fulfilled,
leaving no ground for the infdel to
stand upon. He drew a striking con-
trast between infdel and Christian
communities showing the worst state
of society in infdel communities, and
the very best in Christian cOmmuni-
ties. He carried the contrast also
into nations, with decided effect. In
fdels prated Ofliberality and freedom
of thought, but it was the spirit of
Christianity that brought freedom to
the people.
In his closing exhOrtatiOn he tod
the story of the conversion of an old
man under his ministry in IllinOis-a
man who had been a drunkard, liar,
libertine and had reached point
where all hope seemed to be lost for
him, where no one had any confidence
in him. 1t was pathetic-yery much
SO-and it brought tears to my eyes.
Bro. BOle'S years of experience have
given him many touching incidents,
which he relates with great effect.

SUNDAY.

The camp meeting folks were un-
fortunate again yesterday in having
another rainy Sunday. The roads
were very muddy and beyond a few
scattering people from different parts
of the county there were few country
people present. From the reports
made by those present, had the day

FRIDAY.

FRIDAY.
All skeptics say, Il don't know.
There may be a God or a Divine
Revelation. but l don't know it. "
The preacher, BOleS, quoted that a
word is sign Of an idea. No shadow
without a substance. Some thing or
idea before ever word is given to
represent it. Lower animals have a
natural grunt, cackle, neigh, ETC., but
only horse can understand o horse,
only bird bird. BOles quoted from
page "A of Memoirs of Paris, France,
an incident of boy grown, whose
ears were at last unstopped and then
caught and spoke his first word
mother" He then asserted that all
we know we learn through FIVE senses.
All we know of this or sother worlds
we learn through these five.
Again, an idea is not natural to
man, but derived. No one originates
an idea. He asserted that there were
but three cOuntrieS-thiS, heaven and
hell. We cannot think of or Origi-
nate another. Ideas are essential in
thinking, cannot think without them.
Can't think of blowing without a
plow, or reaping without a reaper.
All language is derived-deduced.
Then what conclusions? The word
Steamboat" is sign Of an idea, il
was not till within 30 years. Nc
such an idea till within that time.
No such word in our language
Where did the word God" come
from? The idea existed before the
sign was given. Did any lawyer
originate it? Does he need it? Does
any doctor, teacher, farmer, ARTISAN:
No man ever originated it. In nc
trade does he necessarily need that
word God to do his work. The word
is in the Oldest language-in all lang
uageS. 1t contains the idea of Divin-
ity. Who originated it? 1t is Of the
world of heaven, came down from
heaven, both idea and word. 1t was
not originated by man. What need
has man for the words heaven, Ged
Holy Spirit, Priest Altar? Whence
came they? From God. They copied
into all books and languages. We
must cOncede Paul not only inspired
but philosopher for he says, Eye
hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither
hath it entered into the heart of meR
what God hath revealed" till il is
given him of God.
Men have reared monuments in
honor of his fellows. So has God rear
ed monuments of his power. Among
them the Sabbath day in memory of
Israel'S deliverance from death. The
s altar shows the smoking sacrifice, and
the bleeding dove and lamb. So from
time immemOrial to Jesus wounded
side on the cross we see the altar of
sacrifice. In the New Testament we
have three monumental institutions.
First, The Lords Supper reminding
US of ChriSt's suffering on the cross.
Second, The ordinance of Baptism
monumental of his burial and resur:
rectiOn. Third, The Lords Day in
memory of the glad day when the
grave was burst asunder and life and
Immortality came to light. He rails
ed no monument of stones or brick or
mortar, but monument in a little
peice Of bread, a little wine. Another
in an act that initiates his burial and
resurrection. Rom GA; / Cor. Is.
Then closed with grand exhortation
to obedience on the lesson from Lin
coins monument at Springfield, III.

merely an everyday lecture was
satisfactory, but when the manager
learned the true state of affairs he
changed his mind. When Clark and
his friends arrived at the hall in the
afternoon they found it locked. being
given the reason therefor. A com

His lecture, instead of a patriotic ma

Those present were:


The mass meeting of union labor
at Killers hall Saturday evening
was largely attended. but none but
accredited representatives of labor
organizations were admitted. The
object was to discuss the political
situation and it was decided. it is
understood, to take decided stand
to resent the action of the county
board in its shabby treatmen: and
total disregard of resolutions and
petitions sent to the supervisors with
reference to the new court hou Sc.
The labor unions gave their influence
to the court house project and made
the bond issue possible with the hope
and conviction that its success would
prove boon to local labor, and giving
the proposition for the bond issue
their united support they felt that
they had at least the privilege of petit
tioning the board when matters came
up in which they were interested.
Instead of even courteous treatment.
their suPplications were not SO much
as given respectful consideration.
Hence the just indignation of !
classes of labor.
