BeddoW Aqain.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald: I have been shown Judge Stiles reply to my card which appears in this issue. Sp not know what the communication Is frseh the Concordia society and cannot of course know what they have to say. I do not charge that Judge Stiles him self drank intoxicating liquors. I say now he did not in my presence.
 I do not charge that he was ever in a gambling house; he never was so far as I know.
 But I do charge he did all that is con tained in my card above, and he knows 1t, and 1t lessens my opinion of him to try to dodge and evade the truth. I am a partner of Bowman's and can say for him that he is open and above board in what he does.

Judge Stiles Replies to Beddow.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Replying to MT Beddow's card, which has been shown me, state positively that l was never at but one meeting with MT. Beddow on Sunday, and that was at Con- cordia hall. Being an invited guest, my lips are sealed as to what occurred there. The Concorda society state in this issue of this paper what did occur. The society is over one hundred strong and their card is a full answer to MT. Beddow. AS be- tween these one hundred gentlemen and Mr. Beddow choose whom you will be- lieve.
 I have not for twenty years taken a drink of intoxicating liquors, nor have invited others to drink nor paid for drinks in a public drinking place. l was never in a gambling house in my life. It is we'll known that MT. c. F. Beddow is a partner of P. G. Bowman's.

Those young men who are taught the truth of sciences and the arts of modern civilization cannot, as their fathers did, bow their heads and worship the rising sun as their very God: they cannot very well go to the Buddhist temple and kneel before the images made of wood or stone and from their hearts repeat the Buddhist prayer. No, they cannot Thus, the age of religious superstition in Japan has for eyer passed and gone. Yet the truth of Christianity hasn't quite entered into the minds of the people. This is the problem.
 Mystery of Human Life.
 The question is whether or not mere agnosticism can forever satisfy the long, ing of human heart Yesterday a man was born, not knowing whence he came Today he is struggling for existence, not knowing what he is struggling for. To- morrow, perhaps, he may pass away, not knowing whither he goes
 The mystery of human life! How can we solve it without knowing the truth and purpose of our Creator?
 Japan cannot realize her mission in the far east until she comes to know the truth of God as the truth of the nation before she tries to civlize and educate her fellow men. And I believe Japan S present position of leadership in Asia is an inspiring opportunity for the Christian clulcH to carry out Ter illSSlOU. tHlISL- ianize Japanese, l say! Then, the rest of the .Orientals will follow.
 The story of the Port Arthur attack has been often told, and 1 repeat it here. When the brave soldiers of the Mikado were before that tremendous fort, 203 Metres Hill, after they had made the-sev- enth attack, they almost gave up their hope of capturing the spot and sent tho message to the Mikado saying: 'The most high majesty, we regreet it, but we can not take Port Arthur"
 Then the Mikado sent the message back to the soldiers, saying: The Japanese soldiers must accomplish what is impos- siblet' And that very night the 20S Metres Hill was taken. Port Arthur began to surrender.
 l often think that if we, the soldiers of Christ are so patriotic and loyal to our Captain as the Mkado's soldiers were, the work of Christianizing this world would not be impossible. We, as the children of God can work wonders and miracles in this life. Nothing is impossi- ble for Christians.

Hon. Hinds Peevey, Manager Higdon
 Campaign, Birmingham, Ala
 Dear Sir-Our attention has been called to an article in the Birmingham News under date of October 2I signed by Rob ert N. Bell, chairman of the democratic campaign committee, and which bore the heading Character of the Candidates"
 In comparing the character of Judge Stiles and Colonel IIigdon Mr. Bell re- fers to Morris avenue. and suggests that the voters call on Higdons associates on Morris avenue for information as to his character, standing, etc. saving in substance these words:
 "Go to Woodlawn and Morris avenue Higdon's place of residence and business and there make the same, close, careful investigation of Higdons moral and busi- ness dealings. ask those who are with him and those who are against him." etc.
 We, the business associates of Colonel Hisdon on Morris avenue, during the past sixteen years or more, resent the insin- nations cast on the character of Colonel Higdon, and as a reply to the indirect islander on the standing of an honorable man, TAKE THIS METHOD OF EX- PRESSING OUR DISAPPROVAL AND CONDEMNATION OF SUCH COWARD LY POLITICS. 2 The majority of us have known Colonel Higdon and have been ln- timately associated with him during his entire business career in Birmingham; numbers of us have had almost daily transactions with him, AND DURING THE ENTIRE TIME WE HAVE YET TO DISCOVER ONE SINGLE IN STANCE WHEREIN HE HAS ACTED OTHER THAN AN HONEST, HONOR ABLE, UPRIGHT, CHRISTIAN GEN TLEMAN.
 In conclusion we desire to say THAT IRRESPECTIVE OF HOW WE STAND IN THE PRESENT CONTEST, WE CONSIDER COLONEL HIGDON THOR OUGHLY COMPETENT AND CAPABLE

 It was, therefore, well for Admiral Togo to express after that great victory he won at the battle of the Sea of Japan, mot we ourselves have conquered our enemy but by the virtue of the Mikado and in the spirits of our ancestors, we have achieved this victory" The admiral was sincere in his expression; he actually meant what he said, and not at all magic or fanciful in his phraseology So much. then, for the religion of the Japanese.
 However, here comes another change in the religious attitude of the Japanese When the young men of the country be- gan to study new sciences and arts of modern civilization they came to find out that the religion which their fathers used to believe was nothing but empty cere- monies without any real spiritual mean ing. They began to give mp the religion at this point. If was rather natural for them to same into this step.
