Charges Against the Church.

BATTLE CREEK, Mich, Oct H.--At to-
days session of the philanthropic confer
ence Rev. James Hamilton, of st. Joseph,
accused the church of taking the part of
the classes against the masses in the capt.
tai and labor contest Hon. Walker Thomas
Mills, of Chicago, defended cooperation
and government ownership. Mr.. Mills also
urged the brotherhood of man between
black and white. Rev. P. j. McVeely, pre-
siding elder of the Albion district of Mich
igan Methodists, advised the clergy to enter
politics, cast aside their sanctified appear
ing garments and manners and work in
stead of talking so much The liveIiest adj
dress OF the day was by Bayard Holmes,
OF Chicago, who praised socialism and said
that one mans life is as of much i'm
portance as another. Labor, whether ii is
digging a ditch or preaching, said Mr..
Holmes, is equally valuable. ]. Henry
Myers, prominent missionary, said social
ism was but one step above anarchy and
was Kissed for his utterance.
In the evening Hon. Joseph /. Cox, state
labor commissioner, talked on the labor
conditions of Michigan. Miss Jane Adams,
OF Hull House, Chicago, spoke on Trades
Unions and Public Duty in a comprehen-
sive manner. Prof. George d. Heron, pro-

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON Oct. 21.-A decidedly bet
ter tone is observable around Republican
headquarters in this city. Chairman Bah
cock now predicts, with genuine confidence,
that the Republicans will have healthy
working majorties in both branches of the
Fifty-sixth Congress. From every section
of the country word is received that the
business and conservative elements have be-
come aroused to the danger of giving en-
couragement to INSTRUMENTATION senti-
-nent at time when the country is still fac
ing a foreign foe and before the party in
power has had opportunity to make good
it's pledges for placing our financial system
on a sounder and more stable foundation
These are the two vital points which are
arousing the thoughtful consideration of
the people They are national issues, in the
broadcast sense of the term and appeal to
the patriotic sense of the masses The
Democratic press ard Democratic campaign
effort in every quarter is seeking to divert
public attention and public discussion from
these points. For time it looked as though
they might succeed in doing so under cover
of the dust raised over minor questions
but as the campaign draws to a close the
greater issues are coming TO the front and
the party Of the administration is the gamer
thereby.
The speeches of the President on his
Western tour have produced wonderful
effect. They have turned public thought
into healthy channels and away from false
and dangerous issues. Noting the splendid
reception which the people of the West have
given the President, and mindful Of the i'm
mediatey favorable results attending mis-
visit to that section. the Republican leaders
of New York are working hard to induce
him to visit the Empire State before the
close of the campaign. He may do so.

CHANCE For BRIGHT YOUNG MEN.
United States I'm Need of Agents Who
Can Talk Spnnish.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-A high Office
in the State Department calls attention 10
the necessity of finding suitable corps Of
bright young men well versed in the Span
ish language to assist in the execution of
the colonial policy which has been imposed
on the Nation as result of the war; He
points to the difficulties encountered by the
American officials, naval and military, who
went to the Philippines, Cuba and Porto
Rico. in dealing with the inhabitants of
these islands. Clashes might easily arise
and serious disagreements could be expected
to follow from failure on the part OF the
governments agents to learn the feelings
OF the people whose affairs they were TO
administer. This condition was encoun-
tered at Cavite early in the United States
military occupation and the relations be-
tween the military and the insurgents might
have been more satisfactory had the Amer
leans been well acquainted with the Spanish
manners and customs. The official sug-
gested that the time was ripe for some
leading educational institutions to provide
special courses that would furnish the gov
eminent with trained agents in case of
need, as we'll as develop class of enter
prlsing commercial agents who would be of
value in developing colonial trade.
