ORPHEUM BACKING
MINSTREL SUITS
court Rules Attorney McClanahan
Must Produce Any Agreement
Today.

The second of the Hogan Minstrel
cases was tried before Judge Davis Sat
urday. The plaintiff in this case was
rhurley ThyOuS, =. minor. Much of the
morning was taken up in forming
Jury to try the case. The list of jurors
on hand was exhausted and a special
yenire was summoned on Friday, and
from these the following jury was final
ly empannelled: w. C. Wilder, Jr., ~.
R. G. Wallace, Duke McNichol, Harry
Murray, H E. Waity, w. P. o Brien, E.
O. Wnl.e, Louis Marks, Jno. Emmelut-,
Ward Bartlett, j. NJ Webb and Mr.
Campbell.
Mr.. f. NJ. Swanzy and Mr.. Irvine of
Davies & Co. were placed upon the
stand before noon, and their evidence
followed considerably along the lines
of that given in Hogan's case. Attor-
ney McClanahan, for the plaintiff. was
also placed upon the stand and submit
ted to an exacting examination at the
hands of Attorney Robertson, repre-
senting the defendant company. So Sc
we're became the questioning and an
swers that Judge Davis was compelled
to interfere and take them both to task.
Mr.. Robertson deftly brought out
from Mr.. McClanahan that the Orphe-
UNI Theater was backing the Ministries
in their suit against the steamship COM
pany, and Judge Davis then desired ex-
plicit information from Mr.. McClana-
han as to the terms of the agreement,
and asked if there was any speculation
being INDUCED in in the matter. The
Judge ruled that Mr.. McClanahan shall
produce this agreement in court this
morning At l o'clock Saturday the
court was adjourned until the usual
hour this morning.

Liberty Will Survive.

Nor is there any ground for fear in
giving to men that liberty which is their
inalienable right. 1t is the want of lib
erty that creates danger. When men go
about with deep, unuttered curses in
their hearts, and muttered words upon
their lips. because of oppression suffered
or feared, then it is you may look for
ward with dread, for they are signs of a
coming eruption, the outburst of storm
which may cause widespread ruin. | ad-

received the deadliest blows from those

the guillotine in the time of the great
French Revolution, burst forth: 30 Lib
name! Men talk about their own
rights, and think not of the rights of
others. In the sacred name of liberty
both freedom and life have been trampled
under foot. Those, on the one hand, who
advocate the absoluteness of the State;
and those, on the other hand, who preach
the absoluteness of the popular will, are
alike the enemies of true liberty.
The prosperity of the State and of the

Liberty Is Wealth.

This is the universal law: Without lib
erty we are "Crib'd, cabind and confin'd {"
With liberty we have intellectual prog
ress, increase Of wealth, and national
prestige. 1t is the law of nature 1t is
the law of God. There must be no tyr
rany either on the part of employers or
employed, on the part of associated cap
ital or labor, on the part of the classes
or the masses. Every man must be free
to think, free to work. free to save free
TO do everything except that which is
morally wrong. Such is the Bible doc
tTine of liberty.
The next note characterizing the great
socialistic movements of our day is equal

this word that all should be absolutely
equal in position, in possessions, in in
huence; but that all should have equal
rights before me law. But ideas have
grown, and the purest Communism is
now being openly advocated There are

OF capital. Land belongs to the common
wealth, and the product of labor is to go

another man, And in this and other
ways men are to be brought to a com

Chris Was a Socialist.

in this sense Christ was socialist
He was the friend of the poor and the
foe of the selfish. He protested against
wrong and oppression wherever he found
1t. and he advocated every human right
And yet His teachings We're all based on
righteousness.
And now l am ready to give you my
text. 1t is a triple one: IF the Son shall
set you free, ye shall be free indeed"
that Is liberty. THE rich and poor meet
together, for the Lord is Maker of them
ALL that is equality. lone is your Mas
ter, even Christ, and all we are breth-
rem; that is fraternity The progress of
the Kingdom of Christ means the prog
ress or human rights and the uplifting
of mankind. On the crest of the eastern
hills see the dawning of that fairer day
when love to Christ shall be supreme.
ana there shall be in consequence the
ruest love on the part of man to his fell
lOw-men. - -

Poor and Rich Both.

While the rich are bound to consider
the poor, in like manner the poor are
bound to consider the rich. Whatever
may be his faults, the rich man is the
poor mans brother just as the poor man
is the rich mans brother. The brother
hood of the Bible is not one-Sided. Every
one stands in need of every one else
Liberty, equality, fraternity will never
be found in legislative enactments or eco
nomic revolutions. They only affect the
outward. Brotherly love is a thing OF
the heart. That alone can overcome the
selfishness of the rich. the pre-occupation
of the professional and cultured classes,
and the oppression of the poor That
alone can destroy the existing inequali
ties of society which are due to un-Chris-
tan boarding and restrictive legislation
That alone will soften down the tyranny
of employers and the coercive domination
of trade unions, and give on the one
hand protection to honest thrift, and on
the other hand freedom to self-respect-
ing labor.
And such brotherly love cannot exist
in the heart apart from the teachings of
Christ. 1t never has done so. and it
never viii. Trace the history of the past,
and point out if you can any great and
permanent movement for the uplifting
of the masses in lands where Christiani-
ty has had no footing. You cannot DO
it On the other hand L can point out
to you instances where republcanism di-
vorced from ereligion has been simply
synonym for the widest excess. and
brotherhood has meant only fire. and ra-
pine, and bloodShed-the reign of the
mob.
The best of these socialistic movements
have grown up in Christian lands and
have been more influenced by the teach
ings of Christ than those associated with
them have been willing to admit. And
the churches ought-ands thank God,
many of them do-Support and pray for
the divine blessing upon any organization
that has for its end the promotion of the
brotherhood of humanity and the social
and political well-being of every class in

French Philosophism.

Then arose what is known as French
philosophism. The writer's of this school
taught that need is the only foundation
for property. If a man needed thing
he might take it, and in SO doing he was
no thief, the thief being the man who
had more than he needed All land
be used by the individual in accordance
with the will of the State. The children
even belonged to the State, and were to
be trained as the State might direct. All
private property was to be abolished.
Ihere was TO be a general community of
goods. Thus individualism was to be
plotted out. The idea of the family was
to be destroyed. The State was to be ev-
erything. Then it was that Francois
Babeuf arose and proclaimed as the
WatchWords Of the people, Liberty, equal
ny and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. that have been
blazing around the world ever since. And
modern socialism had it's birth l wish
this evening to set forth the teaching of
Scripture on these three points.
By liberty the Bible means that every
man should be free to do that which he
ought. 1t is freedom in associat ton with
law. To be free to do as we like is not
liberty, but license. BY law alone are the
rights of others protected. Thus liberty
itself is not something that is actual,
but relative. 1t is walking along a defin-
ed path. Plato's definition of liberty,
formulated twenty-five centuries ago, has
never been surpassed: Perfect freedom
hath four parts: Wisdom, the principle
OF doing things Alright; justice, the prin-
Siple VI uOlIlS tHlnSS equally IN pubic
and private; fortitude, the principle of
not flying danger, but meeting it; tenn
perance. the principle of subduings desires
and living moderately" Such liberty be-
longs inalienably to every man. 1t is
his by divine right. 1t is not a question
of character, or position, or circum-
stances; 1t is question of right. We
often hear it said that men should not
be free until they know how to use free
dom. That is not the Bible principle
Macaulay's reply to this argument is alb
that he must not go into the water until
he has learned to SWIM

As to Fraternity.

This brings me to my third great word
Fraternity. Here we are at once face
to face with the great modern doctrine
of the solidarity of the human race. We
are all of one family. This truth Christ
asserted again and again. Indeed, HIS
teaching here is far in advance of mod
ern socialism. 1t has been forcibly said
by one of our great writers on THIS
subject that Socialism treats fraterni-
~ without fatherhood.'
The consequence is that it breaks up
into what is merely sectional. am
aware that one branch is international,
and in this respect it is akin to the relig-
ion of Jesus which teaches that all men
are the children of God, and are all OF
one blood, no matter in what country
they live, or to what nationality they
their skin, or the shape OF their eyes.
But other branches. and those number
ing by far the largest number of mem
bers, are merely national. They refuse
to allow the employment of foreign Ia
Dor They want restrictive laws on emil
grafton. They would close doors
against the destitute and oppressed. With
them it is race prejudice mad national
jealousy and narroWneSS.
But true brotherhood, the brotherhood
of Christ, extends to all the race and has
respect for every class. The rio h are
required to regard the poor as brothers
and to do them good on the largest and
most generous scale. boarding for the
sake of boarding is entirely contrary tC
the spirit of Christ; but the putting by in
order to make a fair provision for the
maintenance of others, or to obtain a
sufficient sum wherewith to do good on
a greater scale, is entirely Christian. and
in strict accord with every principle OF
