BETHANY SEASON AT END
A FINE CROWD ATTENDS THE CLOS
ING CAMP-NIEETING SERVICES.
Day Spent Chiefly in a Social Way
Sermon OF Rev. j. j. Ha-
ley, of Kentucky.

Yesterday closed the assembly at Beth
any Park A fine crowd attended the last
services. Many came in the excursion
trains, while number of the country peo-
pie drove to the grounds The forenoon
was hot ana dusty but the after part Of
the day was marked by refreshing showers
and sunshine alternately. The cottagers
and hotel guests are nearly all gone, and
the few who have stayed will leave on to-
days trains.
But few exercises were given yesterday,
most of the day being spent in social
manner. After the usual Sunday school,
conducted by T. J. Legg, the forenoon ser
mon was delivered by Rev. j. j. Harley, of
Kentucky, the theme, THE Threefold
Estimate of the Centurion's Character
The first point of consideration was the
opinion the Jewish elders, his neighbors,
had Of him. He is worthy" they said.
"Our lives" said the minister, should be
so lived that others, though of alien blood,
will see the good in us. He was a Roman
military officer but he loved the Jewish
nation. He saw the good in other people,
Here the minister spoke of Tennyson as
poet, and said that he was more of
an Englishman than he was Christian
and on this point he was very much inferior
to Wordsworth, Shelley, Byron and Cole
ridge. He rarely sympathized with the
struggles OF anOIner nation. his rove anu
praise were ali given to England. The next
point noted in the Centurion was his own
self-depreciation. He says, Il am not Wor
thy" He did not sing his own praises. Per-
hapS compared with the general run OF
mankind he was better than the average
man. but when he looked to the being Of
all good he was abashed and painfully
aware of his shortcomings. Christ
commended the virtues of the Centurion,
the more so because they were unexpected.
The minister closed by saying that there
are three essential words in Christianity
faith life and character. Given the first,
the last two are bound to appear. When
the Savior saw this manifestation of a liv
ing faith centered in and fixed upon him
self He knew that it contained the prom
Use and potency of all the possibilities of
spiritual development If your faith is
right, right in its quality intensity, actiYi-
ty loyalty" said the minister, all else Will
be added to you The graces will cluster
about it as fruit upon a living tree. Ii you
have the Centurions faith you will have his
humility, generosity, catholicity and all the
rich elements of spiritual character. Keep
thy faith with all diligence, for odt of 1T
are the issues of life.
The afternoon service was conducted by
Walter S. Smith. Following this were com
munion services. In the evening a Chris
tan EndeaVor praise service was led by
Rev j. II. Mcneil. Some especial music
was rendered by G. G. Cline and daughters.
There will be a short farewell address and
prayer by Rev. Mr.. Carpenter this morning,
which will be the final close OF the summer
session.

THE BETTER MAN.

Already the friends of Mayor Taggart
are declaring that their favorite has far
better qualifications for the Office than
has Mr.. Harding. 1t is upon this assump-
ton that they propose to elect him. Those
who know both men we'll promptly deny
this assumption. Mr.. Taggart has shown
no qualifications for the office of mayor
Because he has not done worse than he
has, men say that he has done better than
they expected and imagine that such
defense is reason for voting for him again.
In every respect, man for man, Mr.
Harding is better qualified for mayor than
is Mayor Taggart. He has not been in Of
flee one-tenth much as the mayor but
he has made better record in the posi-
lions he has held. Mr. Harding gave UNI
divided attention to his duties when in Of
flee and acquitted himself with credit Fa-
miliar with law, interested in city affairs,
Mr.. Harding had an advantage at the out
set. But it is urged that Mayor Taggart
has had two years experience in which
he has learned much of city affairs. To
this it may be replied that the most of
Mayor Taggart's Experience has been in
making mistakes and that sort OF expe-
rience is not improving. Mr.. Harding will
make better mayor because he is not in
the hands of any combination of schemers.
1t will be denied that Mayor Taggart is,
yet the developments of the park scheme
indicate that in the purchase of lands a
gang of favorites have had things their
own way. Mr. Harding is not in the hands
of any such combination, nor has he politi-
cal partners who have shown eager thrift
in taking care of public funds-for them
selves. Mr.. Harding is in position to en-
force the laws impartially because he is
not bound to faHorite beer syndicates, so
that one can ignore and all others must
heed the laws.
AT the outset it should be said by Mr..
Harding's friends that if he cannot rem
der the city better service as mayor than
has Mayor Taggart, he has no grounds on
which to ask for the votes of the people of
Indianapolis Comparing man to man,
qualification to qualification, and record to
record, Mr. Harding's friends can present
ample reasons why it is better for tax
payers to vote for him than for Mr. Tag
CART.

much better times that hundreds of thou
sands of people can eat wheat bread again.
1t is fair to assume that the larger con-
sumption of the cereal in this country will
have a marked effect on the price later on
or next season. But the real cause of the
advance that is now going on is the short
wheat crops of other countries. Scarcely
a country in Europe has a full crop, while,
unless it is Russia, none of the countries
which have furnished the wheat-deficit
countries of Europe have any wheat TO ex
port. India has famine and may be re-
garded as out of the list of competitors for
two crops at least. Argentina, which has
furnished a large surplus the past five or
six years, is obliged to purchase this year
Practically we have the outside market to
ourselves. 1t is this fact which has caused
the advance of prices and for which fur
Their advance is expected. That is the price
has been obedient to the inexorable law of
supply and demand. The supply, which
has barely held its own the past three
years fell off materially this year. so there
is none to spare. Next year, If all the
wheat-growing countries should have full
harvest, which is scarcely probable, there
would be larger supply, and in the face of
it prices would decline The best preventive
is to keep the wheat-eating people at home
employed at fair wages. 1t is better to I'M
derstand the causes of the rise and fall Of
the prices of wheat and not to attribute
them to occurrences which are not legiti-
maize causes

j. B. CURTIS WAS HELD UP
A TRIO OF HIGHWAYMEN DRIVEN
OFF BY THE CITY ATTORNEY.
The Young Men Came Up in Stylish
Buggy While He Was En-
Route Home.

Capt. James B. Curtis, city attorney, had
an unique encounter with a trio Of up-to-
date hghwaymen. Instead of holding him
up like the old-time robber, who suddenly
appears before the pedestrian from the
yawning mouth of a dark alley, the cap
tains knights of the road Travelled in
stylish buggy. They We're rather daring
and did not resort to the melodramatic
trick of wearing black masks to partly
conceal their features, like the Deadwood
Dicks and other dime novel heroes. The
highwaymen were all well dressed, one
wearing a black stiff hat second a
black SLOUGH hat, and tn I'd light
SLOUGH hat.
Captain Curtis was walking up Pennsyl-
vania street briskly toward home about 10
o'clock last night when the buggy sud
denly drove up to the curb opposite him
Two of the fellows sprang hurriedly TO the
ground and while their companion re-
manned alertly watching for interruption,
holding the reins with a tight hand, they
stepped up to Captain Curtiss side and or
dered him to throw up his hands. The city
attorney was considerably startled, out did
not comply with their order. He raised
his cane to defend himself, at the same
time calling for the police. Fearing detec-
tioh and being alarmed by his belligerent
attitude, the two young men desisted and
ran back to the buggy. They jumped in
and their companion hastily whipped up
and drove off the street. Captain curtis
reported the fact to the police, who are
making a vigorous effort TO locate the
young men. The captain was not able to
describe the horse and buggy very Well, as
it all happened so suddenly he hardly real
lied the intent of the young men until they
were driving down the street at break
neck speed.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FOURTH
DISTRICT.

Our esteemed townsman, Hon. Will f
English, who is initiating his lungs with
tdewater air, seems also to have inflated
his political Imagination with something or
other. An Eastern paper reports him as
saying, THE Indiana Democracy is all
right. In special election for Congress
man few days ago carried the Fourth
district by d majority vastly increased over
that given the late Mr.. Holman, and we
will do as well in other parts of the State"
Observe the language, "a majority vastly
increased over that given the late Mr.. Hol-
man" This rosy view of the situation is
repeated in other quarters. The St. Louis
Republic says the victory in the Fourth
district lis the most significant political
event of the year" and that the returns
show an increased majority for the Demo-
cratic candidate of several hundred over
that given to Mr.. Holman in November,
and a heavy falling off in the Republican
vote" These views are altogether too Op-
timistic. Mr.. Griffith was not elected as
Mr.. English says, by a majority vastly
increased over that given the late Mr.. Hol-
man." nor was lis election in any sense "a
significant event" Mr. Holman's majority,
or plurality, in 1896 was S25 ana Mr.. Grif-
fith's in the recent election was SIC. The
vast increase was fifty-One votes and this
in district composed of ten counties and
normally Democratic. Last year these ten
counties gave Mckinley 22,J3J votes and
Bryan $3.50, being majority of 74O for
Bryan. In the recent election they gave
Lee, the Republican candidate, 1917 votes
and Griffith 1866 plurality of SIG for the
latter. The figures show a large falling of
in the natural vote of the district, the Re-
pubicans losing 4,Sl3 votes from that cast
for Mckinley. and the Democrats losing
4575 votes from that cast for Bryan 1t is
evident that on a full vote the result would
not have been materially different from that
of last year. There is nothing in the result
of the special election to indicate that the
Democrats have recovered any ground since
last year or that the Republicans would
not carry the State in d general election to-
day by large majority
