The HIGHER LIFE.


ary ide, so Gods Spirit must be
the missionary's guide.
In Christ's mission To the world f,
His first disciples were twice
blessed. They received the bless
ing which comes from knowing the
Son of God, the blessing of saliva
ton; and again they were blessed
with the privilege of telling to 9th.
ers His words of life. And even
on us has this mantle fallen. We
may have the life which He brings
to men, and we may have the bless
ing which comes to those who seat
ter far the message from God to
men. They who are blessed with
the invitation from Christ, Come
unto Me-" are also honored with
the divine commission, Go teach. !"
If you heed His invitation You will
hear His commission.
But let us rejoice that Christ's 5
command is, Go teach all ma.
tions," for we ourselves need n Cos,
pei that is mighty enough to save
the nations. A religion that will
not save the world will not save
our country; it will not save our
city and homes; it will not save our
boys and girls. Unless n religion
is world. wide in its power it is ul-
tlmately useless and impotrnt. A
religion that will not save an
African will not save an American.
A gospel that cannot rnlighten and
offer salvation to China cannot
reach the hearts aud couScicnres of
America.
Again, if the gospel that we
preach is good for us, then-it is fit
for Others aud for all who swell the
nations to countless millions. Shall
God redeem Americans with the
blood of His own Son and leave the
redemption OF China to the philoSo.

While publicly the Governor as
sumed an attitude in reference to
the Doodle prosecutions that was en-
tirely commendable. and while he
complied with all requests that |
made of him, privately he was
sweating and fuming like rhinoc-
eros over the developments, and
hoping that the agitation would
blow over.
The real state of his mind was
shown in his speech ut Lone Jack
last summer when he sought to be-
little the Doodle exposures, saying
that boodlng did not amount to
anything; that the people had not
lost anything, as the expense had
fallen upon the great corporations.
The Governor assumes that u
criticism of him is an attack upon
the Democratic party. II that were
SO, aud he were eligible for re elec
tion, no one could run against him
without being subjected to the
charge of being party traitor
In Illinois several good Republicans
seem TO be running against Cover
nor Yates, who is u candidate for
reelection. Those who oppose
him do not by that act destroy their
party fidelity.
1t is only in Missouri that the
doctrine of Lese Majestic prevails.
The ring considers that it consti-
tutcs the party. Lack of allegiance
to the ring. they say, is faithless
ness to the party. say the Demo
cratic party of Missouri does not
consist of any ring nor any boss,
but it consists of about 800, 900
voters.
The party does not belong to
nny clique or gang, but it belongs
to the people, and the people should
take the party into their own hands
just now. Missouri needs new
deal, not the cold deal that has
been given it. The issues nre made,
the ring is on one side and $50. 900 |
Democrats on the other. The ring
says the cure Of corruption is not
an issue.
1t is hardly to hc expected that
the ring would allow boOdIc to be.

There is a Butler Democracy !
and II true Democracy in Missouri !
One of the requisites of being n
good Butler Democrat is to take n

SENSATIONAL ARREST.
Mrs. Elias Taken From House After
Doors Had Been Broken In.

Mrs. Ek1aS l@AGm from House AXG8Ti
Doors Had Been Broken In.
NEW YORK, June S.-Hannah Elias
was arrested late last night under the
most sensational and dramatic circum-
stances that have fallen to the lot of
one charged with crime in long
time.
With axes and crOwbars the doors of
the mansion of the negress at 236 Cen
trail Park West were battered down,
after all other means to gain entrance
to the house had failed.
Dashing upstairs, detective sergeants
found the woman in her apartment on
the second floor. A warrant charging
her with extorting money from John
r. Platt under threats Of exposure,
was handed to her. Trembling at first,
she regained her nerve a moment later.
.tAll right she told them, 1I'll go
with you. / am not afraid to go to
jail. I have done nothing wrong"
She was given time to dress, and, in
carriage which Kato, her Japanese
butler, ordered for her, she was taken
to police headquarters.
The specific crime with which she is
charged is the extortion of $500 from
Mr.. PIatt last month, the exact date
not being named. To the negress her
arrest came as a complete surprise.
She had absolutely no warning, and
after the days of waiting she had rea-
son to believe that she would escape a
criminal prosecution.

Two Thousand Quit work.

NEW YORK, June S.-Two thousand
men engaged in construction work in
North Hudson, N. J., have quit work
because Of the refusal of the contract
ors to grant working day Of nine

demanded an increase of wages and a
reduction of hours. They got the in
crease of wages, but no reduction of
hours, and they served notice at to
time that this year they would insist
upon nine hour day. The strikers are
