THE SANE OLD CRY OF WOLF

One Of this years State Republican
convention put into the platform this
sentence: We recognize the necessity
Of corporations in order 70 meet new
conditions in the industrial world and
to compete successfully for the worlds
markets; bat the combinations which
stihe competition, limit production, con-
troll prices or uuduly increase profits or
values. and especially when they raise
the prices Of the necessities OF life, are
opposed to the public policy, and
should be repressed."
Commenting upon this same old Re-
publican yaporing, which means moth
ing, the Athens Banner says.
The people are weary Of hearing dec
larations Of TINS character on the part
Of the Republican party They mean
nothing aud are simply only hot cam
paign wind with which to fll up the
voters in the fall During the past two
years the Republican partly in full con
troll Of both branches CT Congress, has
not passed single measure to 'repress'
the giant monpolies aud trusts that
have sprung upon every hand to stiAe
competition, limit production, unduIy
Increase profits and raise the prices Of
tue necessities Of life.
These colossal corporations are the
creatures Of Republican legislature, the
benefclaries Of its fayorltism, the gen
erous contributors to its enormous cam
paign funds. Their boards Of directors
and presidents formulate Republican
policies in all that effect their interests,
and issue orders to Republican Sena
tors and Representatives precisely the
same as they do to the superintendents
and foremen Of their factories From |
a party so controlled it is idle to expect |
reformation Ia promising it in plat
forms and on the stump they are only
simply fooling the people, who are the
victims Of their rspacity

BAPTISM IS HEATHENISH
1T NEVER SAVED A HUMAN SOUL,
REV. DIR. MARTHUR SAYS.
Sermon on the Dropping OF Water on
Infants at Birth That Was Ap-
plauded by Congregation.

NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Dr r. s. Nc
Arthur. at the one-hundredth meeting in
the "EvangeI' tent to-day, assailed the
doctrine of baptism. He declared that the
dropping of water on an infant at birth
was heathenish and the idea that God
would forever condemn an innocent but
unbaptiZed babe makes him a tyrant, a
monster and a demon. That utterance,
coming from DR.. Macarthur had a wonder
full effect on his hearers. They rose to
their feet and applauded wildly. The scene
was striking.
Baptism" he declared, never saved a
human soul. The doctrine of baptismal
regeneration Is both unreasonable and un-
scriptural. The superstitions that have
gathered about infant bantism form one
of the saddest chapters in church history.
Thousands through all the ages have be-
lieved that a child dying without being
baptized was eternally lost This dark and
dreary superstition has cast a gloom over
the history of the church for centuries.
This doctrine is heathenism. pure and SIM
ple The 'dea that God would forever con-
denim a nnocent babe because some one
had not put few drops of water on its
head and face makes Cpd a tyrant, a
monster and a demon. Ra,her than believe
in such a God / would be an avowed in
fidel.
This doctrine of baptismal regeneration
makes the minister of religion worker of
magic. fakir. a performer of ecclesiastic
miracles. Such teaching is a violation
of all sound reason and true Scripture
teaching

KILLED ON THE BRIDGE
WILLIAM G. STELLAR DID NOT HEAR
TRAINS APPROACH.
Struck by MOnOn Fast Train and
Hurled Into Fall Creek-Ensi-
neer's Statement.

With his fishing rod in his hand and a
minnow bucket strapped across his back
William G. Stellar, who lived with his
parents at 1866 Columbia avenue was walk
ing across the Monon bridge over Fall
creek near the fair grounds yesterday
afternoon about / o'clock, unmindful of the
train that was bearing down upon him. He
did not have any idea that the train was
coming, across the bride until it was within
a few feet of him. Then he felt the jar of
the bridge. Turning around, he was struck
by the engine and hurled to the stream
below. When taken from the water few
minutes later Stellar was dead, his skull
being crushed on the right side.
Stellar was alone as he crossed the
bridge. He has been deaf since boyhood,
and the approach of the train was to him
coming unheralded. Engineer Thomas
Cline, however, says that he rang his bell
and also blew the whistle. The train that
struck Stellar was the Monon fast passen-
ger train No. 3S, bound for Chicago. 1t
was in charge of Engineer Cline and Con-
ductor Dickinson. AS soon as the engine
struck Stellar and it was seen that he was
knocked from the bridge the engine was
stopped and the train crew ran back and
dragged the body of Stellar from the water.
The body was placed aboard the train and
carried back to Twenty-second street and
the Monon tracks, where a call had been
sent for the city ambulance. The. body was
then taken to the morgue.
Engineer Cline thinks that on account of
Stellar's infirmity he did not hear the
whistle or the ringing of the bell as the
engine came over the bridge. He said he
saw Stellar walk from one side of the
bridge to the other, and he thought he was
trying to go out on the side pier to get
out of the way of the engine. AS the train
came closer to Stellar, he said, he began to
slacken up, thinking that he would give
the man every opportunity TO get out of the
way.
Stellar was employed at the Atlas engine
works as labOrer. He was thirty-four
years old and unmarried. He formerly
worked for Fletcher M. Noe

SHAKEN BY EXPLOSION
POWDER MAGAZINE ON GOVERNORS
ISLA-.D BLOWN UP,
And Portions of Boston Affected by
the ConcussiOn-One Man Killed,
Five Injured and Two Missing.

BOSTON, Sept. lone of the powder
magazines at old Fort Winthrop, on Gov
ernor's island. upper Boston harbor, blew
up tonight with a detonation that was
heard at points twenty miles away. The ex-
plosion is supposed to have been caused by
boys setting fires on the island. One dead
man and FIVE injured were brought to the
city by the police boats. and, while it is be-
lieved this is the extent of the casualties,
it is possible that others may be found suf-
fering from the force Of the concussion.
The dead mans name is Albert H. Cotton.
of Somervflle. Two men are missing-James
E. Wakefield and James Ryan. The in
jured are James A. Crowley, Christian
Knudson, Charles Flanagan, Dennis J..
Swanson and Paul Barry. all having flesh
wounds, besides suffering from shock.
There are several old ramshackle wooden
buildings at the southerly end of the island
but the fort itself, only little of which
Is visible above the ground, is of stone,
some of the granite blocks being of i'm
mense size. The force OF to-day's ex-
plosion is shown by the fact that some
of these great blocks were hurled several
hundred yards, while one of the largest
was sent out into the air and came down
through the citadel in the center of the
fort, making a hole large enough to drive
a team of horses through. All over the
island the effects of the explosion are
visible, while in East Boston, South Boston
and in the city proper the concussion was
severe enough to break windows and shake
buildings to their foundations.
The powder exploded consisted of about
six tons and was stored in one of the nu-
merous classmates that were built under
ground around the citadel. The other case
mates were empty. Each of these apart
ments was built with granite walls twenty
five feet thick and covered with earth and
masonry to the depth of thirty-five feet.
At first it was supposed the bonfres set
on the island had caused the explosion but
later when the police learned that 1T would
be impossible for fire to have reached the
powder by accident from the outside, they
decided that the cause is unexplained
During the afternoon there were several
hundred pleasure seekers on the island and
of that number fully $50 were within a
radius of 200 yards of the fort. All were
covered with dirt and other debris and
many were thrown to the ground by the
concussion. Sergeant Thomas j. Shaw in
charge of the premises, was at his quar-
ters at the other end of the island when
the explosion occurred.
