DIR. HILLS ON GRAFTERs.
Have Taken Everything Except Red
Hot Stove Lids, He Says.

DIR. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor Of
the Plymouth church in Brooklyn,
formerly the church of Henry Ward
Beecher, lectured on Monday night at
the First Baptist church on "Oliver
Cromwell"
After some historical depletion of
this great character, the drawing of il
lustratiOns and parallels between his
life and some modern happenings, DR..
Hills discussed the grating inVestiga-
tons now being carried on in this coun-
try He also said something concerning
the great conflict being carried on in
Russia
1T is not strange" he said, " as the
Russian people have no religious or
political liberty, and no nation can be
controlled as serfs for years without a
revolution"
I'VE are now having a grating in
vestigatiOn in this country said the
speaker. THE insurance men are be-
ing examined in a more civilized way
than Cromwell examined into the
workings of Charles I. These New
York grafters have taken everything
in sight except the red-hot stove lids
They are men who have optional work
and compulsory salaries. These things
will not last in this country. because
the people are becoming enlightened
and will not put up with CRAFTS"
The crowd which attended Mr. Hills
lecture was one of the best which has
turned out in Topeka for an entertain
ment of that kind this winter. DR.

of Dr. Hills, introduced him.

That there is a chance of the veteran

Should he and his countryman, Cure,

Now gentlemen we wish to organ
, ize C&rmack Club here and would
be glad to see them organized
, throughout the entire state In
union there is strength Let US not
forget the lessons we learned when
we were school boys. Remember the
old farmer who called his seven sons
, around him and took seven small
sticks and bundled and bound them
togther and gave them to his sons
and promised a reward to the one
who could break the bundle, though,
they strained every nerve and muscle,
not a single stalwart son could WIN
the prize. The old gentleman took the
bundle of sticks and separated them,
breaking them one at time with all
ease, teaching the world the great
lesson, that in Union there is strength.
Then let us bundle and bind ourselves
together from Sullivan to Shelby and
get ready for the great battle OF bal
lots which must be fought out in this
state upon the 18th day of May.
Remember that Miltiade5, the great
champion of Athens, had to fight the
battle Of Marathon before Datus ana
the Persians were vanquished ana
victory won.
Remember that Paul, the great
apostle of learning to the Gentiles
had to bear the cross before he could
wear the crown.
Then let us line up and unite our
selves together in one solid phalahA
and each and every man determine 70
do his duty and his whole duty. Leu

done all this to Gov. Taylor, then
could we relieve our debt or obliga
ton by committing another error oil
doing another wrong?
In the grammatical world two mega
tives make an affirmative, but no
where in the moral world has it ever
yet been said that two wrongs has
ever made right.
Our forefathers so arranged the CON
J stitution of these United States that
at no time could we select or elect
at the same time two new senators to
represent the state in the federal gov
eminent in order that at all times we
would have an old senator there who
had experience in making laws TO
watch, guard and direct our interests
in the national government. Now
gentlemen, if you succeed in defeat
! ing Senator Carmack you will prac-
tically defeat the purpose Of the con-
stitution, and we would be represent
ed at Washington by two new sena-
tors at the same time.
You cannot point to a single mis-
take Carmack has made as a senator.
His honorable competitor has himself
declared that there was no issue be-
tween them, and has refused to meet
him in debate to discuss his public
record then if he has done his duty
and done it so well, that he did moth
ing but what he should have done
and left undone nothing he ought to
do, having neither sinned by omission
our commission, he certainly does
merit the endorsement of his people
to another term.
There is another good reason why
we should send a strong, aggressive
man like Carm&ck back TO the SEN
ate, in two more years we hope to
elect q democratic house, democrat
ic senate and q democratic president,
then if we have such men there TO
represent us as Carmack we may ex
pect good and effective service from
them.
Let us stand by Carmack because
he has stood bX the South.
Lot us send him back to Washing
ton to represent US in the highest
legislative body of the greatest gov
eminent upon which the sun ever
shone, in fact a country Rpon which
it never ceases to shine, for ere he
has bid last farewell to the golden
hills of Alaska in the West he kisses
away the dew drops from the stately
pines of Maine in the East.
