where Was Teddy "At?,,


Theodore Roosevelt is a lakir.
This allegation is based on state.
ments in his book "The Rough
Rider" Some one has said, "Oh,
that mine enemy should write a
book" Teddy has written one,
and he must take the conse.
quences. Ga page 90 Of that book
he says. speaking OF the battle (2l
of Las Guasimas:
The firing had now died out, but l was
still entirely uncertain as to exactly what
had happened | did not know whether
the enemy h d been driven back. or
whether it was merely a lull in the fight
and we might be attacked again; nor
did know what had happened in any
other part Of the line, while, as / occu-
pied the extreme lett, | was not sure
whether or not my flank was in danger.
And on the very next page-Ioo
he adds:
Then Istarted over tow ard the main
body, but to my delight encountered
Wood himself, who told me the fight
was over, and the Spaniards had re-
treated,
And writing on the engagement
at San Juan Hill, he says;

infantry OF Kent, led by Hawkins, were

And then, giving the finale as he
observed it from Kettle Hill, about
one. third ola mile distant, he says.
The infantry got nearer and nearer

| could see the Spaniards running away
from the rifle pits as the Americans
came on in their final rush.
II is evident from these admis-
sions in his own book that he did
not know "where he was al" in the
Guasimas affair, and that his
knowledge OF the successful assault
on San Juan Hill was onlv acquired
from long distance observation.
Yet this "iakir" was elected Gov
ernor of New York on his alleged
military achievements, and is now
careering through the country "a
sight for gods and men," basine
his claim for Vice Presidential sup,
port on the same flimsY claim.
To quote from the Washins stor
Post, an Administration organ
would show how even the press o
his own party is dlsgusted with hi
vulgarity and mendacity.

A DISPATCH from Tien Tsin says
one company Of United States
troops had an engagement with
two thousand Boxers, near Pekin,
day or two ago, in which two
hundred OF the heather were lett
dead on the fed, while not one
American was even scratched. So,
it seems, that the alleged heroic
deeds OF the Americans in the
Philippine Islands, are being
equalled if not ex:elled by those
recorded of them in still farther of
China. Herorsm IS easily acquired

Miners ana their Dinner Pail.

If there is any class of working
people in the whole land who are
entitled to full dinner pail' it is
the workers in the anthracite coal
mines Of Pennsylvania. Theirs is
an arduous and hazardous en-.
ployment, pursued for the most
far down the bowels OF the earth
and away from the light Of day.
They are employed by monopo-
lists who act in concert and, hav-
ing no competition that need seri-
ously be considered, these mon
opolists can exact their own price
for the coal they sell, and every
householder in the land knows
how mercllessly that absolute
power conferred by monopoly is
exercised by levying tribute upon
every hearthstone. They are,
therefore, we'll able to pay just and
even liberal wages. Besides this
they are in the very nerve centre
OF the Republican party OF the
United States, and the full dinner
pail is the special mission of the
Republican party in this cam
paign.
Do the Pennsylvania miners
have full dinner pail7 Not if the
statement published by the miners
is true. According to this the
average annual wage Of the miner
is less than SasO, some receiving
more than this amount and some
less.
But let US take the average,
ss5o. This would be about 6S
cents a day. Suppose the miner
has a wife and flve children, fam
ilV of seven in all, which is not far
from the average married mans
burden, he would have less
than 10 cents day for each to 1--we
upon. After paying his rent,
clothing Tor the family, doctors
bills and inc dental expenses it
does not appear that much will
remain with which to fill the din
ner pail. A discussion has been
going the rounds of the question
whether it is possible to buy
enough food for IS cents a day to
sustain life. Here are thousands
who have only 10 cents with which
to buy food, clothing, shelter and
all the other comforts and conven-
fences OF life. Let a person in
fairly comfortable circumstances
consider this condition and try to
figure out how person can keep
soul and body together with any
such wage and then listen to Sen
ator Hanna declaim about the full
dinner pail of the working people
under Republican rule and the
share OF each one in the Mckinley
prosperity.
This is not all nor the only
qrievanc. complained OF by the
miners. They charge that the coal
corporations, after paying this
small rate for their labor, in their
unmeasured greediness endeavor
to get large part OF 1t back from
them by unfair means. The min
ers are compelled. they say, to
buy all their supplies from the
companY's store at exorbitant
rates; that they have the pay OF a
doctor deducted from their wages
whetheystheY need his services oi
not, and, finally, that to earn the
pay agreed upon for mining a tor
OF coal they must, in fact, mine
nearly two.

To the Hon. Lyman ! Gage, Secretary
of the Treasury:
Sir: The object Of my open letter of
September I was, by offering a means OF
escape from the dangers pointed out by
you, to call public attention to the fact
that the present campaign Is by no means
repetition OF that of 1896, and that The
none, question now has no rightto stand
in the way Of a fair consideration Of
other important questions on their own
merits. thank you for the courtesy Of
your answer, but | must regret that,
instead of "a, orably receiving my well
meant suggestion, it only shows % what

attempt to lrighten the people into the

election can save them from general
ruin, and that no objection to him in

who insist upon the necessity OF Mr..
McKiuley's reelection for the preserva

parliamentary experience teaches me
that If you, as Secretary of the Treasury,
prep re a simple measure OF remedial
legislation and have 1t introduced in
Congress on the first day Of the session,
and the majority presses it with a sincere
determination to use all legitimate
means to overcome obstructive tactics,
the three months OF the session will be
more than sufficient to put through such
a bill.
But do you really think that it is so
defective and that the dangers you pre-.
dicted owing to that effectiveness really

Strange Indeed.

"Mrs. Lena Mason, the great
colored lady evangelist, arrived in
our city this week and is conduct
ing a series of meetings at the
First African Baptist Church, on
B and School streets. Mrs. Ma
son comes highly recommended
by both pulpit and press, as an
evangelist. Her meetings else
where have met with much sue
cess.
The above clipping is taken
from the Iowa State ByStandcr.
We do not know anything about
the African Baptist Church or its
pastor, but there seems to be some
thing woefully loose in its creed
and practice, Our prejudice may
be ill-founded or we may be bias
ed in our opinion with reference
to women preaching, but somehow
we think her out of place whenev-
she essays to occupy the pulpit
as a preacher. If we go back to
New Testament times we have not
a single example of woman be-
ing set apart to the work of the
gospel ministry. Paul was
greatly assisted by the noble wo-
men who gathered about him and
pays a deserved compliment to
them in his epistles, but they are
never held forth as preachers. Ii
they were yoke-fellows in the
gospel it was in some other sphere
If there was ever time when
Christianity needed preachers,
evangelists and missionaries, it was
in those early days when workers
were few, yet we read nothing o
women being called to the sacred
office of a gospel preacher. We
desire to see women do all they
can in pushing the Kingdom o
Christ, and there are multiplied
forms of activity in which they cal
engage, but we believe according
to New Testament precedent
woman is out of her sphere a
gospel minister.

to who are friends to the work will

A great deal of talk is done by
many of our preachers in our pub
lie gatherings about the College,
how it should be run and what
plans should be adopted, who do
not themselves, nor do their
churches, send in dollar during
the year to assist the great cause
in which they seem to be deeply
interested. Their interest never
leads them to give dollar, They
are clouds that bring no rain, trees
that bear no fruit The MESSEN-

"Hy Their Fruits Ye Shall Know
Them"

We have often been asked what
pastors and churches aid the Col
lege. This question Sprang out
of want of knowledge on the part
of the persons asking it with refer
ence to those who do something to
maintain our educational interests.
A few years ago it seemed almost
impossible to get a correct report
before the people interested, OF the
financial condition of the work. The
undertaking was an untrled one,
and as such there were some things
to be learned in connection there
with, some experience to be gain
ed. Happily, however, year after
year our brethren have advanced
to higher plane in the organlza-
ton of the work. Of course from
the foundation of the school every
dollar has been honestly invested,
as. is evidenced by the rapid pro-
progress made during the last five
or six years.
The wonder is that we have ac-
complished so much with the small
and uncertain income with which
we have had to conduct such an
important undertaking God has
been with us, however, and has mul-
tiplied, it would seem, the small
Eloaves and fishes. Those who
have attended our State meetings
for the past five years, have had
! placed in their hands report from
the Board, through its secretary
giving an itemized statement OF re-
ceipts and disbursements. In view
of what we have said, there is nc
longer any reason why persons
should hesitate about giving money
to the Western College. Apar
