GOSPEL TEMPERANCE EVANGELIST
HAS CHARGE OF MEETING.
Former Mayor G. 8. Denny and Rev
Joshua stansheId with Him-A
Crowded Hall.

Members of the Marion County Prohibi-
ton Alliance and their friends gave
hearty welcome yesterday afternoon in
their rooms. corner of New York and Ala
bama streets, to Francis Murphy, the gos-
pei temperance lecturer who has been abb
sent for year or so. When the meeting
was called to order the entire room was
filed and many stood on the outside wait
ing for admission. Mr.. Murphy occupied
the middle seat on the rostrum, and with
him sat Caleb S. Denny and the Rev.
Joshua Stansfield, pastor of Meridian
street NJ. E. Church. AT o'clock, the
appointed hour for beginning services,
member of the league formally presented
Mr. Murphy, whom he asked to take
charge OF the meeting. Mr.. Murphy read
a few passages from the Bible, interspers-
ing his readings with a few words of adj
vice to his hearers At the conclusion he
asked tho Rev. DIR. Stansfeld TO pray.
Several lymns, under the leadership of
Mr. Gray, were sung, after which Mr..
Murphy gave a short address. He spoke
OF the necessity of brotherly love for the
obtaining of better conditions in life. He
said he blamed no man for getting rich
as IL showed the man to be possessed of
great will power. such men as j. Pier
pont Morgan and Charles NJ. Schwab are
TO be commended for their vast wealth.
envy Them" said Mr.. Murphy. Because
you are working for a weekly wage do
not become hisheartened When you lie
down at night you have free mind and
your sleep is undisturbed Many of our
wealthy men, and especially those who
are trying TO grind down the poor man.
do not sleep WELL but dream and think OF
the notes due them.
MY dear friends, you who live in this
city are not aware of the beautiful place
you have. 1t was. indeed, treat for me to
return to this city, and especially the par
lor OF the city-Woodruff Place. That is
the dearest spot In this whole world for
me. The only man who could properly de-
pict the pretty scenes in that locality is
your own Riley. 1t takes a poet with a
high sense of his calling TO paint the effect
OF that place. AS 1 go from the busy city
to that quiet little place / see the quick
change. II should be the same with you
men and women. When you leave your
work you should look for the better and
prettier things. 1t is these that give us
the higher views OF life. AS we attain a
sweet mind we are in position to treat
our neighbors better. In this way we may
live better life"
Mr. Murphy in closing his short talk in
troduced c. S. Denny. The latter said he
had attended one of Mr.. Murphy's meetings
seventeen years ago and has since thought
OF its good influence Ii had in this city
He said that every time after that meeting
that Mr.. Murphy spoke in this city he al
ways tried to be with him, as he appre-
ciated his work.
Following Mr. Denny a number of the
members gave short personal talks on their
work in the league.

WILL FIGHT HEMENwAY.
1t Is Said Democrats VIII Concentrate
Efforts I'm His District.

The startling information comes to the
Republican managers that the Democracy
has given up the idea of defeating Repre-
sentative Brick in the Thirteenth district,
and will now devote its energies to trying
to beat Representative Hemenway in the
First district. 1t is announced that this
plan was decided on at a meeting of the
Democratic leaders held in Chicago some
time ago. 1t is said that a part of the
plans is to put great deal of money into
the district. The fact that he is to be let
alone will no doubt make Mr.. Brick breathe
easier. Strange to say, the friends of Mr..
Hemenway do not seem alarmed. "All the
kings horses and all the kings men can't
elect John w. Spencer" said Frank b.
Posey one night last week. Mr.. Posey is an
oracle on Republican politics in his district
and this observation was made by him after
a close study of the district. 1t Is con-
coded that John w. Spencer who is Mr..
Hemenway's opponent, is a good cam
paigner but those who know him say he
has been too bitter against the Populistic
element in his district TO ever be forgiven
even for the sake of harmony"
1t is declared by men in the First district
that Colonel Owen, of Mount Vernon, who
made the race against Mr. Hemenway two
deal this time. 1t is asserted that Jack
Nolan, who is said to control the Democ-
racy in his locality, wrote Colonel Owen a
letter in which he told him it would cost
him 5000 if he desired to be nominated
again. Colonel owen, having wasted a
small fortune in the previous race, was alb
solutely unable, from a financial standpoint
to go into the race again.
The rumor some time ago that Thomas
Taggart had advised the national Demo-
cratic congressional campaign committee
TO do some work in Representative Lands
district with view TO defeating that can
didate, caused Mr.. Landis's Republican
| friends to smile. Mr.. Lands has something
| like 5000 majority and his friends say there
Is no reason why IL should be materially
/ reduced
Representative Holiday will surely b,
reelected in the Fifth district" said a mar
| from that district day or two ago. TIL,
Democrats had considerable trouble in get
| ting man to make the race against Hol
/ iiday. The situation among the Democrat.
| in the district is pretty well sized up by
/ Terre Haute Republican who remarked
There are at least a half dozen men in tn,
district who would have been glad to b,
on the ticket for Congress had the,
/ thought there was any chance of election

sented by Major George w. Steele so long

ANENT ROCKERS SPEECH.
What He Had to Say About Represent
ative Overstreet.

Republicans who heard the speech of
William V. Rocker at the Democratic con-
gressional convention at Masonic Hall Sat-
urday listened with some interest to what
that orator had TO say about Representa-
tive Overstreet. Mr.. Rocker, by the way
represents the ultra-Bryan element of the
Democracy. The fact that the convention
did not give him stronger support was an
evidence, II is suggested. OF the strength of
the 'reorganizers." In his remarks Mr.
Rocker called attention TO the fact that

in Marion county with his constituents at
this time. is In New York. Mr.. Rocker

The Florence daily tribune., 1902-08-15

The above list is published for no
other reason than to show the imposi O..
tion inflicted upon the teachers in the
Florence schools by our unspeakable
school board. 1t tells the story more
plainly than an extended discourse
could do it,
1t is an old saying that comparisons
are odious. 1t should be true in this
case The 'big four of the school
board will not enjoy having the above
comparative list made public.
1t doesn't look good to anyone.
In fact there is something wrong
about it.
1t smells bad.
1t is putrid.
But it should be explained that the
last four subjects on the Florence list,
are not given the primary teachers.
They get off with only TWENTY
THREE subjects.
How lucky!
The high school faculty must take
the whole twenty-seven!
Either there is something wrong in
the Denver and Colorado Springs
schools, or else there is something
palpably wrong in the Florence
schools.
Men must judge for themselves.
Perhaps the members of the Denver
The Florence daily tribune., 1902-08-15

and Colorado Springs boards are ig.
, norant men.
Perhaps they have no Kenyons to
advise them what to do.
They ought to know about the Flor.
ence school board
They might want some pointers on
conducting city schools.
They might send for Senator Moore
he could tell them what Kenyon said
abont it and that would go with him.
There is only one thing about it.
and that is for the school board to drop
this silly proceeding before its mem
bers become laughing stock for the
whole state. They ought to stop il
before any more of the best teachers
are driven out of the school because
they refuse to stand for the humilia-
tion attending the implied doubt of
their ability
Morris alone stands for what is
reasonable and fair He believes that
new applicants for grade positions
should be given a reasonable examina-
tion, and that those whose ability is
known by their past work in the
schools should not be imposed upon by
treating them as if their ability were
doubted.
And Morris has with him every
teacher but Kenyon and ninety-nine
per cent of the citizens of Florence.
