DEBT ABSOLVED.
Court Rules on a Will Case
That Has Attracted Some
Attention.

The case of Harper ct al. VS.. Bowers
ct al. was before Judge McCarty Friday
morning. Mrs. Mary Bowers had left
a will giving all her property to Abra-
ham Bowers in case he should at the
time of her death be free from a debt
of $1,500 he owed the bank. In case he
still owed the debt he was only to have
a life interest in the property. Just
before her death he went into bank
ruptcy and was absolved from the debt
The other children said the will was
obscure and wanted the court to con-
strue it. Judge McCarty took the mat
ter up and upon the simple statement
of the case he decided that as far as
the $1,5O0 debt was concerned the will
was clear and that the property must
go to Abraham Bowers. There Is an
other feature of the case that may come
up later. 1t may be claimed that undue
influence was used to get the will made
in favor of Bowers Judge Baldwin and
Mr.. Sponseller represented the plaintiffs
and Judge Thayer and Mr.. Werntz the
defendant in the case.

QUAKER SALEM
Is. FOR BAKER
COlumbiana Also Said to Be For
the Alliance Man.
NO EFFORT FOR DELEGATES
Are Being Made In Canton or MassiIIon
But 1t Is Probable That Mahon-
ing County VIII Give
Him Boost.

Youngstown Vindicator: Mr.. John
H. Welsh was over in Salem Wednes-
day and was a witness Of the great
demonstration there in favor Of c. C.
Baker for congress.
Mr.. Welsh returned from Salem yes
terday and talked today about the re-
ception rendered the man from Alli-
ance.
''The fact is" said Mr.. Welsh, "it
looks as If Baker is to have an actual
walkaway in Salem and Columbiana
L never saw a man in his position get
such an enthusiastic, friendly greeting.
Why, you'd have thought he was the
president instead Of the. former auditor
of Columbiana county and at present
but an aspirant for congress.
"The reception was in the hotel Grei-
ner-Brainard and started in at about 3
o'clock and lasted then until about mid
night. There was no bowling drunken
mob, such has some of the papers have
stated or limited, but all was in good
order, but earnest, enthusiastic, friendly
and cheerful. They kept pouring in all
the time and the most Of them called
Baker Charley" for he is a big good
natured, good humored, good man, and
not like some of the bank presidents, it
is difficult to touch with 1O-foot pole.
In Columbiana county there are 81
delegates and Baker has 60 of them.
His organization is most thorough. 1t
is said with confidence that it could not
be better, Baker himself and picked
and trusted men having devoted much
time to that particular part of the
campaign. In Columbiana county it is
the statement nearly everywhere that
Tayler is beaten. Baker is making no
fight in Canton or Massillon, but he ex-
poets so out Of the 10S delegates in
Stark, giving him total of 110 in the
convention, in which it will take 126
to nominate. That being the situation
it is easily seen that Mahoning holds
the whip hand. She with her 62 votes
is now the all important factor, MAX
ing it more than possible than Senator
Writ or Judge Kennedy may yank their
castors into the ring.
Some fear now that Writ has hurt
himself by his vote in favor of local
option. Whether he will be candidate
or not will be known perhaps inside of
two days.
Baker was in Youngstown a couple
of weeks ago or such a matter and will
be here again in about two weeks from
now. He will be cordially greeted.

A LAYMAN'S VIEWS
On the Decline of Membership
In the Methodist Church Of
The Country.

Editor News-Democrat: In your daily
issue of the 10th inst. an article appear
ed with some criticisms and comments
on the address made by the bishop of
the M. +. church to it's membership. 1
am sorry to be compelled to subscribe
to the statements therein fully, and yet,
the keynote was not sounded as to the
true cause of the decline of Methodism.
The bishops certainly meant we'll and
their address was mastery effort, full
of good suggestions, but it seems to me,
in naming the sins of the church and
the hindrances to her advancement they
have overlooked the dominent sin, which
is the most prominent one, and is pull
ing down the church Of today more than
all other sins combined, viz: the sin
of intemperance.
1 am only layman, and it would seem
like presumption in me to give an opinion
adverse to our learned bishops, but all
candid thinking men will agree with me
in that the saloon is the direct cause of
the decay and depletion of the church,
and does more to debauch the young
men, poison their minds and make them
hate the church and everybody who
tries to do them any good than any sin
we can name. Saloons could not exist
at all II they were not upheld and sup
ported by so-called Christians. Whisky
The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-03-20

seems to be king. The saloon has the
church and the old parties by the
throat and dictates legislation. May be
this is the reason the bishops keep silent
on the liquor traffic. The fact is, you
never hear a word on temeprance from
presidential aspirants down to town
marshal, or scarcely hear word from
preachers, while young men go stagger-
ing through the streets and on the down
grade to perdition. AT night from to
IL you will find the saloon crowded,
while the churches are comparatively
empty. Many of the ministers are
afraid to preach against the evil, lest
some of their members of the male per-
suasion might become offended.
Their political party ties are too strong
to be severed from their dear old party,
and rather than cast vote for the home
and church against the saloon, they will
continue to vote to license the evil. We
have today enough church members to
carry the election for temperance and
reform If they would only do their duty.
Another cause of decline is, there is
too much zeal displayed by ministers to
gather names regardless of conversion.
The pastor is more anxious to report
numbers than souls saved. Again, there
are more churches built than can be
supported. We have an example of one
defunct NJ. E. church right in our own
city and there are others.
The bishops may well become alarmed
that the church is losing ground. The
clergy is as much If not more, to blame,
than the laity. The leaders should be
on the look out for breakers ahead. The
Lord will not do,for us what we can do
for ourselves He is indignant with
those who profess to be followers and
pray Thy kingdom come and He will
surely bring us to naught as a church
and nation unless we oppose compro-
mise with sin in any form. Let us do
our duty as citizens and christians, and
there will be no need Of week of fast
ing and prayer unless it would be to
thank God that true prosperity and pro-
lection have come to his people.

IMMENSE PROFITS
GIVE THE LIE
TO the Assertion That ArmOr
Plate Cannot Be Made Cheaper.
THE ADMINISTRATION WARNED
That the Fight Between Carnegie and
Frick Is Likely to Lead to Dis
closures That Will Hurt
the Trusts.

Pittsburg, March 16.-Fearing thot
the stories of the enormous profits in
the Carnegie Steel company will be
disastrous to the party, Republican
leaders, it is said, are urging President
Mckinley and the administration to
take a hand in the war business eXter-
mination between Andrew Carnegie and
H. c. Frick. Some of the leaders
throughout the country called the at
tentiOn of the president and Mark Han
ma to their danger several weeks ago,
it is said, but the warning was given
too late to pre- vent Frick's exposure.
1t has been well know't here that
the president and Repub'ica lea i"rs
have not been pleased with Frick's
figures, and they want no more for the
present for fear that developments may
occur which will endanger the party in
the campaign about to open.
They assert that thunder for the anti
administration people has been made by
the exposure to date. Opponents Of
McKinleyism, it is declared, have seized
upon the fact that the firm made i'm
mense profits from armor plate and
steel, and this proves, they will claim,
that there is too much protection for
trusts.
From all sections, it is claimed there
are murumrings of discomfort and
threatened strikes because the worker
is not getting his share of the great
earnings.
For years the steel kings have been
active demanding tariff on their pro-
ducts and thus have come in touch
with the leaders of the party. In ad-
dition they have profited by the ideas
enforced by the protection party and
want it retained in power Mr.. Frick
has been the accredited representative
of the steel men in political matters, and
for years has helped to collect the
sinews of the presidential campaign. He
as the plaintiff can be reached without
any trouble it is thought. Possibly
there would be trouble reaching Mr..
Carnegie as lately he has become rather
independent.
1t is known that Mr.. Carnegie has
often said in recent years that he now
has no use for high tariff, in fact he
would make more money if there was
less tariff. His company, he declared,
being able to beat the world at steel
making, had been handicapped by the
retaliation tariffs put on American
products by other countries,
