IL Mr.. Mitchell was taught the Bioie
in this way he received strange in
struction indeed. Every student of the
Bible knows that such doctrine ms he
prociaims is preached IN that great book.
IT is true that God is mo rcspecter of
persons so Tar as salvation goes The
doors or Heaven are open to all, and
we are taught that our Heavenly Father
loves all his children alike. But the idea
that all mon are equally endowed and
that all men are expected to share alike
in this world goods is absurd ana mas
no warrant OF Scripture.
How has Mr.. Mitchell read the history
of the children of Israel? Abraham was
called the friend OF God" and divine

And so on and so on throughout the

These were peculiar eases, OF course,
because the Israeiites were the peculiar

THE BAD NEGRo-AGAlN.

The bad negro is again in evidence.
In New York a negro caretaker shot
at man who was digging fishing
worms on the premises and when po-
li5eman went to arrest him he opened
fire on the policeman. Other policemen
and several citizens were summoned to
assist in arresting him, and all We're
more or less wounded by the desperate
negro, who shot as fast as a man show
cd his head.
A bad negro from Richmond arrived
at williamsburg on Monday night and
proceeded to look for trouble. AS soon
as he left the train he walked up to a
man of his own race. and, apparently
without provocation. cut him with a
knife He then turned upon a white man
who was standing by and began to
slash at him. When surrounded by
armed deputies, he tried to escape by
shooting at the town sergeant, but for
tunately missed his mark.
In each instance these bad negroes,
after having violated the law, resisted
the officers of the law, and it will be
recalled that that was one of the main
causes Of trouble in the Ashland affair.
We repeat that it is the bad negro who
is making the race problem. at least. it
is he who is intensifying it, and making
it all the harder to solve. The good ne
groes are not having trouble. The good
negroes are not making war upon the
whites, and the whites are not making
war upon them. They are getting along
very nicely in Virginia and elsewhere.
But the bad negro seems to be growing
worse all the time, and more and more
determined to make himself offensive,
and more and more determined to give
the whites as much trouble as he can
1t is the bad negro that we must reckon
with and he must be disciplined. The
respectable negroes in every comnun-
ity should join with the whites in bring
ing the bad negro to justice and in pun
ishing him as he deserves. The re-
spectacle negroes in every community
must cut loose from the bad negro If
they countenance him and defend him
they Will be held responsible for him
and will suffer for his nlisdoings.

CHURCH 70 FIGHT LIQUOR.
New Denomination to be Started in
Creston.

~ 4.
Creston, Nov. ia movement has
been suggested here in this city by
one of the ministers and plans, it is
understood, to that effect are being
made to Establish church unlike in
one respect at least, to any now in ex-
istence.
Rev. John A. Earl, of Waterloo, the
defeated prohibition candidate for con-
gress from TIE Third district, has had
in mind the establishment of church
similar to the one the Creston divine
contemplates, VIZ: one of the condi-
tons Of membership must be avowed
enmity and unrelentless hostilities to
the liquor traffic, but as yet Mr.. Earl's
plans have not been contaminated.
It is row proposed to institute a
series O. degrees In the church, some
what after the manner of the Masonic
order, having, however. but five in
stead Of thirty-fve degrees. They are
to be as follows:
Frst-Christion profession.
Second-Church membership.
Third-Good standing and activity.
Fourth Systematic and proportion
ate giving.
Fifth-Complete abolition Of the
liquor traffic and all narcotics.
Each local church may define these
degrees and outline methods of pro-
motion until the movement takes q
systematic form. Figures denoting
these degrees may be worn and list
Of members in each degree actually
kept. Whenever promotion is to be
made, the same Is to be done with an
impressive service.
The first four degrees, SO it is claim
ed Dy the originator of the plan, will
prove the pentacost to any church,
while the last degree will usher in q
reformation In civic righteousness
for which the Christian world has been
praying through the years.

of comment that an impression may

that about $4,000 incinerations have

certainly indicates an increase.

which he 10 not guilty. or else the cir.
cumstantial evidence against Levich
is much stronger than has been the

abouts on the night Of August which
do not agree with the claims made for
him by his attorney in his opening ad-
dress. Five witnesses yesterday, four
of them members of the police depart
ment and one of the fire department.
ment, swore point blank to threats and
discriminating circumstances which
IEvich's attorney denies.
The defendants attorney threw
down the gauntlet in his opening ad
dress, and charged the police depart
ment with having protected the gam
blers of Des Moines for money coz
sideration and Of having selected Har-
ris Leyicn to be the victim of con-
spiracy to escape responsibility for
the Finkelstein murder. Mr.. McHenry
mentioned Mayor Brenton by name,
and while he disclaimed charging that
he knew who committed the murder,
declared that the police department
did not dare pursue an investigation
in the right quarter for fear Of the
revelation which might be proved.
The speech of Walter McHenry
created surprise through certain ad-
missions contained in it. He did not
claim that Levich went directly to his
home, but admitted that he had his
horse n.cched up after the murder
and drove to the west side. The state
is attempting to show that Levich
went to the Whitechapel district and
met Walker: the defense says he
stopped at Nose Levich's pawnshop on
West Walnut, and not finding him
there went home.
Mr.. McHenry also created sur
prise by acknowledging that Levich
had borrowed a revolver the evening of
the tragedy. He explained it by saying
Levich wanted it to give to watch
man in one of his houses.
