This Is not a plea for any party that
might be named; it is a plea that the
good men all get on one side, under
some banner, no matter how named.
When that shall happen then the rope
Of the great criminal will be found
very short. It is quite possible that
the voters Of Methodism alone could
do the deed; that is, they could "elect
the issue" and when that had been
done the victory would not be far off.
Dr. William A. Smith, prominent
Southern Methodist of the old slavery
days, said: 81 told DR.. Bond that. ....
at any time when the membership of
the church shall unite their votes with
the non-slaveholders, in West Virginia
particularly, they are competent to
overthrow the whole system The
author from whom the above is quot
ed (Matlack The Anti-Slavery Strug-
gle) quotes Quaker Thomas Wilson's
remark on Methodism: II have been
at one of the camp meetings Of thy
people, and heard them shout and
pray, with much inward comfort. And
II tell thee, Lucius, what | think,
moreover: that If the Methodist peo-
Pile would try It they might shout and
pray down this slavery in short
season. They have much power in that
direction" But, alas! Methodism
divided on the question, and God had
TO interfere, to settle the debate with
"his terrible swift sword" The prob
lem which might, could, would and
should have been solved, in a repub-
lie Of sovereign people, by votes, was
figured out with red-pointed bayonets
for crayons, and wide, CORY plains for
blackboards.

Ball Players Finish.

The ending of a ball players ca
reer has in it much the same tragedy
that accompanies the loss of voice
by the singer. At one fell swoop the
player and his family drop from COM
paratiye luxury. ease and ability to
have all the ordinary pleasures of life
and fall to something like actual pow
erty. Oftentimes poverty is encoun-
tered before the end of the struggle
is reached. The still young couple,
after several years of good living,
travelling, seeing the world. enjoying
all the fun in sight. suddenly come
with splash to the Icy water of poor
living, poor clothes, inability to pay
for theatre tickets and trips about.

Anti-Phonetic.

President Eliot, of Harvard, is no
believer in the Rooseveltian spelling
reform. Once there was a student
who was candidate for the degree
OF doctor of philosophy. The man
adopted spelling reform as his line
of work, and as commencement day
drew near he went to President Eliot
with a request. ''Yoh know, Mr..

Bereavement in Bombay.

Lady Curzon made point of coll
lecting any amusing attempts made
by Hindus to write English that came
under her notice and had many
curious specimens in her scrap book.
Once she got from Bombay a letter
that two brothers sent out to their
patrons on the death of their father,
who had been the head of the firm.

Whitman, and Missions on the Front.
ier.-tiab. 2:1-4.

Whitman was a man upon a tower,
watching the whole horizon for the
tokens of Gods providence. Such
should every patriot be.
Whitman had a vision, such rs
every man may have,-a vision of
great possibilities for his nation, if it
followed Gods leading.
When Whitman saw his vision, he
girded himself and ran for the goal
Of its fultilment, ran three thousand
miles.
Whitman, like all great men, was
great through faith; great because he
lived for the unseen future and for
God
Outline Of Whitman's Life.
Marcus Whitman, the famous pio-
neer missionary to the Northwest
was born in Rushville, n. T.. Sep
tember A. 1902.
In his boyhood he was adventur-
Gus. ard at the same time a Bible.
lover. He intended to be a minister
but on account Of physical weakness
became a physician. Four Flat Head
and Nez Perce Indians travelled east
three thousand miles, and made an
earnest plea for Christian teachers.
This resulted In the founding of Ore
gon missions by the Methodists
In 1884 the American Board decid
ed to send Dr. Whitman with Rev,
Samuel Parker to explore oregon with
a view to establishing a mission.
BY September, 1886, DR.. Whitman,
who had returned and married a noble
young woman. had reached Walla
Walla after a most difficult journey
He established his mission at Waiilat'
pu. and In August, 1888, he organized
there the first Presbyterian church in
the Oregon country,-that Is, Oregon,
Washington. Idaho, and parts Of Wy
omlng and Montana. There We're then
only fifty Americans in that region.
In the winter Of 1S42-3. Dr., Whit.
man made his famoQs ride across the
continent to Washington, his purpose
being TO prevent the loss of Oregon to
the United States aud its seizure by
Great Britain. It was a hazardous and
thrilling ride, accomplished only with
great and heroic suffering.
Or. Whitman interviewed President
Tyler, Webster, and other statesmen,
On his return he piloted 300 emmi-
grants, with 1900 cattle. and thus
proved Oregon accessible.
During his absence the Indians be-
came disadected. On November 20,
1S47, a terrible massacre occurred,
and Whitman was the first to die,
Fourteen were killed al his station.
In his memory Whitman College
has been established at Walla Walla.
A memorial church has been built at
the scene Of the massacre, and noble
monument has been erected over the
martyrs grave.

John M. Rees opened the lecture
course for Minneapolis policemen in the
municipal courtroom last night, and
spoke for more than an hour on the
rights of citizens and officers and the
danger of making illegal arrests,
The courtroom was we'll filled and
every officer of all ranks who could be
released from duty attended. Police Su-
perintendent Doyle was also present and
closed the program with a short talk:
Mr.. Rees first defined the difference
between a felony and a misdemeanor,
saying that a felony is punishable by
term Of years, while a misdemeano1
calls for fine or workhouse sentence
Arrests for offenses in either class, he
said, should be made with great discre
ton. In the daytime no arrests SHOULD
be made unless the officer was armed
with a warrant or had himself seen the
crime. At night more latitude must bs
allowed, and where the officer think!
his charge will stand the test Of thu
court he can make the arrest.
Unreasonable violence took up large
portion of the address. Mr.. Rees >sait
that if more than necessary violence
were used in arresting criminal tn
officer was himself guilty Of crim
and could be punished the same as
private citizen. If THE prisoner wer

officer could disable or even shoot
prisoner.

answered questions Of the officers VIII
were anxious to know exactly wha
rights they had in making arrests.

men are funny, anyway; funnier than
their sense of humor.

by being funny, in an attempt to prove
that the American public is not jaded

people who have heard that the Coun-

George Ebsten of Paris, who is stop

his companion, Lucien Hemmerdinger
before commenting on the case, the
opinion can be credited to both gentle

According to the Frenchmen, who are

of the Cereal Products company at
Thirty-seventh avenue and Fifth street
NE last night, causing q loss on build

The flames, which were Of mysterious
origin, were first noticed by the watch
man at the Columbia Heights foundry,
who turned in the alarm. When the
companies responded 1T the fire 1 nad had al
broken thru the roof. The fremen could
