ADMINISTRATIONS OHIO MAN.

The excellent speech delivered
by Representative Nick Longworth
IN the House on Friday is ground
for the belief that he might be
among the insurgents against the
Presidents Philippines tariff bill
but for circumstances which it
would be wholly superfiuous to
mention.
Mr.. Longworth does not love
the Filipinos nor their cigars. He
thinks the Filipinos are too lazy
to produce much raw sugar. He
has been there and seen them. His
best argument in support of the
bill is that it is such little matter
that it ought not to count. He is
not profoundly interested in the
welfare, present or future, of the
islanders; but In this Congress Mr..
Longworth is necessarily ap ad-
ministration man.
He is convinced that if cigars
are brought from the islands to
the United States nobody will
smoke them; therefore, neither
the American tobacco grower nor
the American Tobacco Trust need
be afraid of them. He has been
there and smoked them himself.
The cigars of the Filipinos seem
to have made a painful impression
upon Mr.. Longworth, which will
not wear off. His feeling illusions
to them imply that he would be
glad to exclude them from Amer
lea. But he is powerless. In this
Congress Mr.. Longworth is con-
strained by the exigencies of the
situation TO be an administration
man.
Mr.. Longworth Justly charac
terizes our doings in the Philip
pines as ''the greatest charitable
work in the world" 1t has al
ready cost us not far from three
quarters of the amount of our in
terest bearing debt, and the great
good sense which his remarks
reveal surely cannot approve of
pouring out the money of Ameri-
can taxpayers in charity at such a
rate. But in this Congress the
administration owns him, body |
and soul.
Nobody has ever made better
speech on the Philippines than this
frank, concise, sensible and alto
gether admirable short talk by the
Representative from the First
Ohio District. He made it on the
wrong side of the question; but in
his Congress, Nicholas Long
worth, of Cincinnati, cannot help
being an administration man. st.

UN|TAR|ANS AGAIN
IN old CHURCH
Special Services in Honor
of Return to Capp and
Twentieth Streets Edifice
REPAIRS COMPLETED

Special services were held yester-
day morning in the Second Unitarian
Church, Twentieth and Capp streets,
in honor of its being the first occasion
that the building has been used since
the disaster. All repairs to the church
have been completed, and a large con-
gregation greeted the pastor, Rev. Call
vert Smoot, when he resumed his for
mer place at the old pulpit
Contributions from churches all over
the United States were received for the
repair of the church The American
Unitarian Association acted as the
agent of the churches of the various
parts of the country in collecting these
funds and forwarding them to San
Francisco.
One of the features of the occasion
yesterday morning was special song
service, consisting of eight unusually
entertaining numbers. The double quar-
tet, under the direction of Mrs. H. f..
Franck, was one of the best numbers
on the programme. The violin selec-
tions of Professor Merki received
marked approval OF the congregation
also.
The subject of Rev. Mr.. ssmoot's SER
mon was 1.-The Call of the Future" He
explained the character of men needed
at the present time in order to meet
the demands of future generations. He
pointed out how the men of one period
influence the social conditions of the
following period, and how the work
of our times is guided by the people OF
ancient times.
Life is vocation" said the speaker,
land it were we'll IL all men should
realize this fact. The ancients recog
nized it, and to them life was sacred.
The past had its call for us, and we are
guided now by its work.

French Growers Form Trust
to Make American Con-
sumers Yield More Cash
DONE TO CHECK LOSS
SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL


WASHINGTON, Dec. s.-Hereafter
American consumers Of French cham
payne will have to pay more for their
pints and quarts. According to a re-
port from Consul Covert at Lyons,
France, the wine growers have entered
into a combination to raise the prices
of what is practically trust in the
trade.
M. Palace of the department of
L'Herault, is said in the report to be
at the head of the combination and
teen million hectoliters yearly, a hecto-
liter equaling about twenty-five gal
Ions. The cost of producing a quart
of wine is estimated at about three
fourths of a cent, but the combination
purposes advancing the price to about
cents.
At the same time Consul George H.
Jackson reports similar conditions
from La Rochelle. He says that there
has not only been an advance in the
price Of the wine, but corresponding
advance in its quality. This combi-
nation sets forth its purpose to main
tain the price of pure ordinary wine
at about cents a quart, which In
round numbers is fifteen francs or So
barrel of 100 liters. or twenty five
gallons.
1t is said that several large wine
growers have lost from $4,000 to 100,-
900 francs year during two or three
seasons on account of the low price OF
wine and they have organized the pres
ent combination purely as a matter OF
self-preservation.

Standards of success are set by AL
mighty God. and the man who wins
does so with respect to divine ideals
The man who fails is also judged by
his neglect to realize Gods will No

Money is cheap and power Is puerile
culture is worthless and pleasure a

in obedience to the divine purpose.
Success is character, and no charac-
ter can be complete except as modelled

text. without Me Ye Can Do Nothing

Better far a humble Paul. with insig

1t is important. for man to recog-
niZen the true standard of success at
the beginning of his lifE,. else he is
doomed to failure. Letsthe will of GOD

earth cannot give A superb record al
a success that satisfies is given In the
closing words of the aged apostle after

the Lord, the righteous judge shall
give me at that day, and not to me

The following is synopsis of the
sermon preached yesterday morning by
Rev w. E. Dugan in the Stewart Me-

Twenty-third: 80
Jesus Christ declared that the King
dom Of Heav EN- was as pearl Of great
price, which when a man mad found lie
sold all else to obtain it.
A pearl is a symbol of Christ 8 king
dom because 1t is. a thing of beauty.
This is its chief value 1t calls. forth
admiration and delight. When John
penetrated beyond the veil and had a
glimpse of the unseen world he was
so charmed with its beauty that to
describe it his imagination swept to-
gether everything splendid on earth
streets. white-robed citizens, crowns
studded with stars and an INFINITE ocean
of glass.
Ours is world teeming with physi-
cal beauty, God has made everything
beautiful in its season. But what il
this earth. splendid. with physical beau
ty, were to be clothed with moral and
spiritual beauty-the beauty of holi-
ness and truth. Today our city is ugly
with sin--the sin of slum pollution and
municipal graft
What is more repellant than a man
elected to high office. posing as.a friend
yet using his Office to rob the public
and spoil the hard EARNINGS Of the
laborer? For. bear in mind, that The
laborer carries on his shoulders an
mankind, and whatever affects society
affects the laborer. In the long end
he pays the bill. Oh. that beauty CT
holiness might clothe public and private
life in our city, as the gorgeous tints
clothe the rose.
"A second characteristic of the pearl
is its great value. Ours Is a CONNER
cial age, largely given to trade. busl-
ness, commerce and the getting OF
wealth. We see vast fortunes rise like
charmed mountains into the sky. But
all the fortunes and revenue that the
hand OF time can sweep together are
naught as compared to the intrinsic
worth of the Kingdom OF God holding
sway In mans soul.
The value of that kingdom Is seen
in the fact that in it God has an over
ruling providence which cares for its
subjects with all the tendern ass OF a
loving father. with all the wisdom Of

the world and the stars into their

LEAD MINERS ASK
FOR INCREASE
Directors of Company Meet
Tomorrow in This City
and Will Receive Demand
STRIKE THREATENED
SPECIAL. DISPATCH TO THE CALL

LEAD, S. Oak, Dec. s.-The decision
of the employees of the Homestake
mine, who held mass meeting here
today. was unanimously in favor Of
demanding at once an eight-hour day.
The resolutions will be telegrapi1ed to
the board of directors of the company,
which meets Tuesday at San Francisco
There was no discussion Of the ques-
ton of calling the strike Over 100
members of the Lead union attended
the meeting. The proceedings were
brief. The question was put with lit
tie preliminary discussion as to
whether the men were in favor of de-
manding an eight-hour day. A rising
vote. was taken and every member
present voted In the affirmative. The
result was greeted with much enthusi-
asm Then committee was appointed
to draft resolutions setting forth the
demands of the meeting and these will
be telegraphed to San Francisco. A
further resolution was adopted urging
Mr.. Grier, superintendent of the mine,
| to use his good office with the direc-
tors to secure the, granting of the de-
mand.
If the directors should refuse to
grant the eight-hour day. the question
! of strike will then be settled by the
members of the union. A three-fourths
vote in a secret ballot is necessary to
declare a strike. AS the question will
probably be laid before the Western
Federation of Miners before any action
| is taken, 1t will probably be several
weeks before a strike can be called.
There is no excitement in Lead and al
though the mine has been idle all day
the only noticeable difference from any
other Sunday has been that the
streets have been full of men, who,
however, have been orderly.
