AT COLUMBIA
Secretary Shaw's Tariff
Arguments Orient Needs
Christian Ideals.

COLUMBIA, $. c., Sept. 20.-Wil-
liam j. Bryan spoke to a great assem-
Diy OF people on the campus of the
South Carolina university here. The
audience was made up of representa-
1--WE men from every county in the
state. He stood under the portraits of
Calhoun and Hampton. to whom he
made eloquent reference in his opening
remarks, lie was presented by Gov
ernor ID. G. Hayward,
Mr.. Bryan expressed qualification
that the meeting had been opened with
prayer. and he referred to the fact
that the need of the orient was Chris
tan ideals for citizenship.
He attacked Secretary Shaw's tariff
arguments and declared earnestly that
no Republican can refute tariff ques-
tons without co%rtradicting himself.
He also declared he had no objection
to President Roosevelt using his plat
form, but he does object to electing a
Republican when Il Democrat could be
chosen on the same platform and be
consistent.
Roosevelt, he said, had been elected
as Il god of war and will go down in
history as a peacemaker.
Peace was the Democratic platform.
The Republicans, he charged, had re-
fused to put Il rate bill clause in their
platform, but the Democrats at Kan
sas City had done so. He made his
usual antitrust argument and explain.
cd that he had been misunderstood in
the matter of the public ownership of
railroads.
He wanted merely to correct existing
abuses rather than to encourage cen
tralization. He declared he believed he
is right and does not care whether the
people agree with him or not.
Mr.. Bryan later left for Georgia to
continue his southern tour.

INTERRUPTED
THE SERVICE.
MAIDS Christensen Visited The
Synagogue This Morning and
Disputed The Rabbi.

MAIDS Christensen, a tailor, who
lives in the old building at $40 State
street, caused a stir in Temple
Shaarey Tfloh, on Madison avenue,
this morning. On account of today
being the Jewish New Year the tenn
pie was crowded with worshipers.
Constable James O'Brien was on
guard at the door, and saw the little
tailor, who is a religious enthusiast,
pass into the building, did o tthink
it would do any harm to allow him
to go inside. AS soon as the services
were started and the rabbi had COM
menced to speak, Mr.. Christensen
stood up and, in a very shrill voice,
proclaimed that they were all wrong
in their belief, and started to read
some scripture as proof of his state
ments. In an instant the tailor was
subdued by some of the congregation,
and loudly protesting, he was taken
outside. City Marshal r. A. Peltier
told him to make less noise or he
would be locked up. Christensen
was u"ndaunted by this remark, and
demanded that he be taken to the
police station.
IF you don't take me there, I'll
go myself" said he, land I'll have
you arrested. l have a right to
preach the gospel, and tell any one
when they are wrong"
Chief Burke received Mr.. Christen-
sen in his Office and listened to his
remarks. Several times the little
tailor became noisy and repeatedly
quoted the scripture in his argument.
He also said he was n messenger
from God, and came here to convert
the Jews. This remark was what
caused the disturbance in the temple,
and had he been allowed to remain it
would have been impossible to main
tain order.
Seeing that Chief Burke would not
aid him, Christensen, who is of a
Danish nationality, left the police
station in a disappointed mood after
a few other remarks on the subject.

HIS CAMPAIGN
FOR GOVERNOR
Independent League Candidate
Speaks at HudsOn--He Pictures
Jefferson and Lincoln.
BOTH OF THEM

HUDSON, N. Y, Sept. 20.-The up
state campaign of the Independence
League was formally opened here amid
great enthusiasm at the Columbia
County fair, which is being held at
Hudson city,
Representative William Il. Hearst,
the leagues candidate for governor.
was greeted by a large assembly. Mr..
Hearst said in part:
The Albany association of party
ave limited has issued a prospectus
of their close corporation. In this
statement they say the Independence
league addresses itself to Jefferson
Democrats and Lincoln Republicans,
whoever they may be-
"These gentlemen, who are unable to
understand what Jefferson Democrats
and Lincoln Republicans are, have no
difficulty in understanding what Ryan
Democrats and Rockefeller Republic
ans are.
For the enlightenment of the AL
bany association | will explain that
Thomas Jefferson was the founder of
the Democratic party and Abraham
Lincoln the founder of the Republican
party. And | will define Jefferson
Democrats and Lincoln Republicans
as citizens of intelligence and con-
science who understand the principles
of their respective parties and the pur-
pose Of the founders of their parties,
who placed principle above politics and
held patriotic duty higher than party
loyalty.
Jefferson declared in favor of gov
eminent for the greatest good of the
greatest number, Lincoln for a govern.
ment of the people. by the people.
Jefferson wrote the Declaration of
never had a feeling politically that did
not spring from the sentiments eni-
bodied in the Declaration of Independ-
ence.'
Jefferson enunciated the doctrine of
equal rights for all and special priv
ileges to none and Lincoln said that
the principles of Jefferson are defini-
tons and axioms of free society,"
THE first convention of the Repub-
lican, party declared that its object
was ito restore the action of the gov
eminent to the principles of Washing
ton and Jefferson
Had the party of Jefferson remain
ed true to the principles of its founder
there would have been little need of
the formation of the Republican party,
and We're the Democratic and Republic
an party today true to their original
principles there would be little need
for the formation of the Independence
league.
Let me say in conclusion that the
cause of corruption is not better pro-
NOTED by the corrupters themselves
than by the indiscriminate partisan
who votes his party ticket, right or
wrong. Such a man puts no premium
upon right, no penalty upon wrong.
God gave us eyes to see with, ears
to hear with and brains to think with.
"There is never a time when we
should not use our minds and our
hearts, our patriotism and our religion
to distinguish between what is right
and what is wrong. then follow our
convictions TO the end.'

ing and had failed to return, was found
dead in canyon about one mile south
west Of that place at 6 o'clock this
morning by the searching party which
started from here last night. His gun
contained an empty shell, and it is
thought the weapon was accidentally
discharged, the shot striking him under
the chin, passing up through the front
part of his head, and coming out Of his
forehead. He evidently lived for some
time, as he crawled some distance from
where the accident happened and re-
moved his shoes. After doing this he
crawled away and removed his coat,
No inquest will be held, as all evidence
points toward accidental shooting.
