There was large attendance at

day for further consideration of
the divorce question A number of
addresses were made and the com
mittee appointed at the previous
meeting made a report recommending
that the legislature be urged to

ligious body in the land be most ear
nestly urged. often and clear, to teach
their congregations the Word of
God, upon the sacredness Of marri-
age and the sanctity of the home;
that they steadfastly refuse to off
ciate at any marriage between per-
sons unscrlpturally divorced, and that
they teach their congregations that
any church member who violates the
Seriptural rule of divorce should be
disciplined for such offense
20 That the press both Religious
and secular. be invited to give It's
great influence and power. edltorially
and otherwise. TO the advancement
of sound views ON this subject We
believe that II the pulpit and press
shall deal with this question fully
and faithfully better conditions must

Democrats ana Protection.

The difference between the Republi-
can and Democratic parties on the tariff
question is radical and fundamental. The
former believes in protection to Ameri-
can industries because experience has
proved beyond a doubt that it is promo
tive of the prosperity alike of capitalist
and workman, of manufacturer and wag
Garner, or employer and employe. The
Democratic party denounces protection
as robbery. and would wipe it out.
The Democratic platform attempts to
make an issue out of tariff revision. but
when Democratic orators talk of tariff
revision they mean destruction of pro-
lection. 1t is the protective principle
with which they are at war. The Re-
publican party believes in real tariff re-
vision. Conditions change, and as they
change the tariff needs modification to
meet the new conditions. The Repub-
lican party would revise schedules, but
still maintain protection, while the Demo-
cratic party proposes not to revise sched-
ules but to abolish protection.

Why poes Parker obiects

The Democratic presidential candi-
date says, in substance, that President
Roosevelt advocates violent methods of
diplomacy; that is, he has departed from
the old style, believes in a straightfor-
ward expression of exactly what the at
titude of this nation is, and does not hes
itate to say that this nation is quite pre-
pared to take care of itself.
Well, what would you have? Are we
not q great nation, practically owning.
with our Canadian brothers, a great CON
tinent and quite prepared, not merely to
suggest but to assist in the affairs of the
world? And is it not a duty?
Why does ex-Judge Parker, David
Bennett Hills ex-political manager, OBJ
ject to this?

HIRED MALlenER OF ROOSEVELT
RseuKED BY iNoIANAM MINISTER.

and All Ii other Plaques of Pha-

Administration.

At the opening of the campaign tbs
Democratic managers asserted that
Friends, Dunkards and members OF 9TH
or peace-loving Christian societies would
oppose Mr.. Roosevelt's election. Inves-
tisation showed the assertion to be M
trne. Now the Democratic managers are
rcsortins to aespicable means, in the
hope nf winning a few votes, but are
meeting with mcrited rebuffs. w. j.
Showaltcr, who Processes to be a Dunk
ard, has been employed by the Democrat
ic committee to do its dirty work. Here
is Il sample of the letters he is, sending
TO Indiana Dunkards and the kind of re-
plies he is receiving. The recipient Of
the letter quoted is a preacher ut Kappa.
Indiana. Showalter's letter follows:
"WaShing ton, D. c.. Sept. 10.
My Dear Sir--I enclose you a stamp
ed envelope in which l want to ask You
to he good enough to send me the names
and addresses of all the male members
of your church who are over 81 years OF
age. OF as many of them as You can.
"lou will see by the enclosed slip just
What President Roosevelt thinks of peo-
pie who profess the peace principle. and
simply want to put the same thing in
their hands so that if they vote at all
for him they can do it with their eyes
open. My people are all Dunkards, my
father being treasurer of the Old Folks
Home at Timberville.
II trust that God will speed the dry
when all men will espouse the peace
Principle as your good people have done,
the day when there will be none to ma
lisn them for it.
%"Tbanking you in advance for the ia
Nor, | am, very truly,
wv. j. sHOwALTER."
The reply sent by the Dunkard preach
or was as follows:
Kappa, Ind. Sept. 10.
wv. J. Showalter, Esq, Washington.
ID. G.:
Dear Sir-ln reply to yours of the
10th inst. concerning President Roose-
velt's attitude toward those who do not
believe in war. l will say that while
your statement may be correct, l ques-
ton it. Even if the President is q war
like man. as YOU say. and if by electing
him we should be thrown into war, 1
would say that we can stand war, fam
inc, pestilence. tleas. flies, blood, frogs
and all the other plaques of Pharaoh,
but. o.. pray you, do not give us anoth-
Ell Cleveland. We couldn't stand anoth-
er of his administrations, and that is
What we would get from Parker.
You have thanked me in advance for
the names of my brethren. / will do
you Il greater favor than you asked. 1
will not send them. Their reply to you
would be in substance the same as mine,
but they might not take the care to e1-
press themselves pleasantly. Like me,
they are for Roosevelt; their minds are
! made un."

A Word to Partisan Democratic.

Republican prosperity is not a vague.
meaningless platitude. 1t is not some
thing that nay be good for the other
fellow and not good for you. Ii you
would be willing to deny yourself Re
publican prosperity for the sake of being
a %hide-bound partisan Democrat, you
ought nevertheless to ask yourself wheth-
er you have a good moral right to vote
to deprive Others of it.
Republican prosperity is what will con
duce to the happiness of your home. In
Democratic times Your wives and chill
dren and your neighbors suffered as well
as yourself. If you are willing to try
for yourself another dose OF, Democratic
hard times, your affection nevertheless
for the helpless ones at home, who want
the good things of this life if you don't
ought to be sufficient to make you vote
for four more years of Republican pros
perity.

A Democratic Contradiction.

The following is an interesting illus-
tration of the way Democrats say things
they don't believe. or the way they let a.
few of their members officially express
for them as a collective whole views
that later on they can unof1leially and
individually repudiate.
The Democratic platform says: I'VE
DENOUNCE PROTECTIONISM AS
A ROBBERY OF THE MANY TO

ticut, says, according to Raymond of

Trade TIE watchword of the West.

trade QAe OF the West.
The Hon. Binger Herman. Republican
member of Congress from Oregon, in a
public address recently delivered in that
State said:
I'VE of the Pacific coast can never look
much for great markets In the Atlantic
States. We must look elsewhere. Europe
Is pressing us closely. With adverse tariff
laws In some nations md with increasing
limitations of our products in others, we
must expect the European market to re-
eeive less and less Of our surplus. 1t is
time to provide for future contingencies.
We look TO the Orient, and there We ind
one-half the population of the earth begin
ming the career Of consumption of such
products as we produce. The Asiatic rice
eaters are as fond of -four as we are. sup
pose our nation increases our trade with
the Chinese alone only one per cent per
capita, for each day, that would equal
100000 be, day. or one billion five hun
dred million dollars per year. One bushel
OF wheat sold the same people per capita
would equal an increased market of 400
100000 bushels each year. We shall beat
our foreign rival in the east lust ms long
as we can sell cheaper than he can. We
can cross the ocean cheaper. rs we have
but one ocean to cross, while lie has three
to Cross"

THEY WILL HAVE THEIR SAY.
The Plain People and Their Candidate
for President.


for President.
1t is about time that the plain people
had their say; the farmers, mechanics,
railroad men, store-kecpers, sailors,
teamsters and general workers all along
the line of American industrial life.
These men are. tired of the ceaseless
adultation given to the fortunate few;
tired of the neglect in which the for
tunate many are left. The fortunate few
are the accumulators of vast wealth and
corresponding houses, lands, and the ap-
pearance of ease. The fortunate many
are the workers who live in comfort. but
do lot have race horses, yachts or auto
mobiles to kill time, yet these last nam
ed fortunate men want to be heard in
the councils of the nation. They are de-
termined to have a President who re-
spects and cares for the plain people.
one who has declared and who has lived
up to the declaration that each MAN.
NO MATTER WHAT HIS OCCUPA-
TlON, HIS RACE, OR HIS REIJ-
.GIOUS BELIEF. is ENTITLED TO
BE TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS
A MAN. IN ANY AND ALL PLACES.
UNDER ANY AND ALL CONSIDER.
ATIONS.'
llal is lne KIM OIL democracy which
is real-not a name merely. 1t is the
democracy of the first citizen of the
United States, a man born into the Re-
publican party, a consistent Republican
all his life and one who puts to shame
the injustice and inhumanity Of the
party which calls itself "Democratic."
This man Of common sense, justice and
Christian brotherhood is Theodore Roose-
Welt, our President now, and our Presi-
dent to be until 1908.
The plain people will haze a chance
to speak out loudly early next November
And they will give no uncertain sound
when their day comes. They will elect
their man by such 4 majority as will
astonish the world.

Confidence in RooseyeIt.

Not all public men who are popular
enjoy public confidence in the same de-
gree. People may say of q public man:
81 admire him for his brilliancy and re-
sourcefulness, but l am not sure that
his motives are altogether disinterested.'
No person speaks that way of Presi-
dent Roosevelt. People not only admire
his ability and resourcefulness, but they
have absolute confidence in his integrity,
il. the purity Of his motives ana in his
determination to administer the govern-
ment in the interest of the whole people.
That being the case, why not ~re-elect
him and a Congress that will hold up
his hands? Why vote to remove a tried
and faithful public servant, Or for a
Congressman who would try to tie his
hands and embarrass his adninistra-
