Columbus, June 16.--A report reach
ed here Saturday to the effect that o
compromise was about to be entered
into between James j. Grant and Il.
Harvey Smith, whereby one or the
other was to have the Stark county
delegation in the congressional con-
vention. 1t is an assured fact that
the chances for neither are good II the
delegation is divided, and that the
best chance Is to fight 1t out at home
and have one or the other go to the
convention with a solid delegation.
The details of the agreement are lack
ing, and it Is by no means certain such
an agreement has been made, but it is
herewith set forth as a parcel of the
gossip that is going the rounds.
- -
AS between Grant and Smith in
Stark county there would doubtless be
little difficulty to decide IL the Ques-
ton were to resolve itself merely into
the survival of the fittest. But that
is not the way Republicans in Stark do
business. Those who do most for the
party get least at its hands. Those
who do little or nothing get into office
on the theory that they belong to 10
ldStlOu, nave Uo chthiCs, anu al Y
therefore safe candidates. If they had
ever done anything for the party they
would be called factionalists or some
other complaint would be entered
against them. Look over the list of
county officials and find one that has
been great party man. Find one
who, before he was running himself
was doing something for the ticket.
His name in Stark county is certainly
no legion.
So it will be seen that If Smith and
Grant conclude to fight it out to see
which shall get the delegation, Smith
will probably win. Everybody knows
he is a square fellow, is competent for
such offices as he has held heretofore,
and would make a good man in any
position of trust. AS congressional
timber he lacks what used to be the
qualifications for position in con-
gress Lately it has made no difference
who held the chair Just so he could
vote with the Republicans whenever
his. name was called. The Eighteenth
district congressman has cut no fgure
since the time of Mckinley, except on
one occasion when a Norman question
accidentally came up and tnen the con-
gresham was simply with the great
majority Of the people. Everybody
wanted the fellow out of his seat, the
difference arising simply being one of
method to pursue. After that Mormon
case nothing has happened to distin-
guish the Eighteenth district man.. He
might as we'll have been an ex-conn-
ty commissioner or an ex-treasrer' or
an ex most anything else not calling
for an extraordinary degree of ability.
The speaker, the chairman of the ways
and means committee and Grosvenor
run things to suit themselves in then
lower house, SO Harvey Smith would
not get chance to electrify anybody II
he had the ability in debate, which
he has not.
AS for Grant he is party worker
and is not as we'll off in this worlds
goods as some other. Besides, he Is
entitled to some recognition. He has
never had anything. That is the rea-
son he will probably not get anything.
The Republican party has fashion of

RAILROAD DISASTER IN ALABAMA
Excursion Train Jumped Track, Kun.

Excursion Train Jumped Track, Kill
ing 80 and lnJuring 81 Others.
Birmingham, Ala, Sept. while
rounding curve on a high embank-
ment near Berry, Ala, yesterday morn
ing. the engine and four cars of an
excursion train on the Southern Rail
way leaped from the track and rolled
over and over down the incline, smash
ing the coaches into kindling wood and
causing the instant death of 30 per-
sons and the injury of 81 others. Physi-
clans say that at least 20 OF the In
jured cannot live.
With the exception of H. NJ. Dudley,
trainmaster of the Southern Railway,
living at Birmingham, and Roscoe
Shelby. of Columbus, Miss, all Of the
dead and'injured are negroes. who had
taken advantage of excursion rates
from points in Mississippi to Birming-
ham.
When the wreck occurred the train
was running at the rate of 80 miles an
hour, and had just started around q
curve on top of q 60-fOOt embankment
Without warning the tender of the en-
CINE suddenly left the track, jerking
the engine and the first four cars with
it. The cars, which we're packed with
passengers. turned completely over
several times and were crushed like
eggshells. killing and Gripping the In
mates. The dead bodies of the negroes
were scattered in every direction. and
the means and appeals for help from
the wounded were heartrending.

sition which then advocated. I am
even more anxious that l should hear
what you think upon it than that you
should applaud it.
IF by trust we mean merely a big
corporation, then l ask you to ponder
the utter folly of the man who either in
spirit Of rancOr or in a spirit of folly
says: Destroy the trusts, without Civ
ing you an idea of what he means
really to do. I will go with him If he
says destroy the evil in the trusts,
gladly. (Applause) I will try to find
out that evil. will seek to apply rem
edies, which l have already outlined
in other speeches. But if his policy
from whatever motive. whether hatred,
fear, panic or just sheer ignorance. Is
to destroy the trusts in way that will
destroy all our prosperity, no.
But, gentlemen, l believe firmly
that in the end there will have to be
an amendment to the constitution Of
the nation comforting additional power
upon the federal government to deal
with corporations. To get that will
be matter of difficulty and q matter
Of time"

how. BY the power or the Holy Spirit
we must cOnsecrate our lives to Gods
work as we have never consecrated
them before. We must so eat and
drink and breathe and talk and pray
that we shall make Christ the supreme
ruler of our lives so that in all things
we may do nothing Inconsistent with
our allegiance to him. Are you and
like Hegekiah-ready to surrender our
lives entirely to the Divine Masters

"Christ or Dinna9"
Some Of US have seen the noted pic
ture which bears the title Christ or

tiful girl, with one Of the sweetest,
nohlest faces ever painted by an art

young girl with all the horrors of a

background Of the picture is the am

crunching the bones of the slain.
There are the torches made out of the
living bodies of men and women, Gov

their belief in the lowly NaZarene.
There are the grim faced Roman sol
diers. There is the pleading lover. as
well rs the pleading mother and IA
Their, begging the young girl to re-
nOunce her belief in her Saviour. And
there the young maiden stands be-
tween the altar Of a heather God and
the solemn upright cross, upon which
is hanging the bruised body of dead
Christ
That picture may be dramatic and
powerful; but, oh, my brother, there is
n truer scene being enacted here to-

text your own eternal redemption, as
well as that of all your loved ones, is
pleading with you. They are pleading
with you to stop worshiping at the
altar Of Cesar, which is the altar of
sin. They are pleading with you be-

But if you will in the few years that
are left on earth bow before the cross
and accept Christ as your Saviour you
shall eternally live. And if you here

ones, by hearing the gospel message
from your life, may eternally live also.
May the Holy Spirit lead every one of
us TO make the right preparations for
