SAN JONES TOLD THE TRUTH
DIsHED UP PLENTY or IT TO sA-
LIMA PEOPLE
How He Stands on saloon Question
Takes a Shot at Women and
Preachers


Preachers.
sam Jones, the great lecturer and
preacher Of the truth, whom every
/ body knows or has read about, was at
Saifna last Saturday and delivered one
/ Of his characteristic lectures He
hauled down the high from their lofty
/ places. he took the covering from 9TH
/ eFs and told them what they were;
j turned the everyday philosophy
wrong side out ana proclaimed the
mighty truth in the following way as
reported by the Salina Union:
But don't you know there's a
whole lot OF folks, right here in Sa-
/ lima, who don't know what this chau-
tauQua means They haven't got any
more conception Of what this is than
a cat has OF a dog show. The chau-
tauqua is a kind Of a halfway be-
tween the Old-fashiOned camp meet
/ ing and the county fair. People now
adays don't have enough religion to
have the good Old-fashioned camp
meeting, and they've lost interest in
| the big steers and big punkins,' so we
have the cautauqua as a sort Of COM
promise"
Here are some OF the things Jones
said in his remarks: IF a man hasn't
got a dollar on earth, il he has q good
I and manly boys in his home, he's
rich man A mans riches consists OF
purity, OF his home life and nobility
Of his children, and nothing else IN
/ der the sun"
"A fellow asked me one day If the
cOlOred man down south differed any
I in his instincts from the white man
L told him no, the difference was
mostly in his 'Outstints.
Reputation is what the people say
you are. Character is what you really
are Towns are like people in this
respect II the character Of your
ton you're surely in bad shape The
most popular and most powerful man
in the United States today is our
| splendid, brainy president, Theodore
Roosevelt. And he is popular and
powerful because he dares to do
sticking to his motto. Give a square
deal"
Il have been hunting for thirty
years for man who found that it
paid to do wrong. I found only one,
land I saw him about a month later
and he told me it had busted bad"
Don't jump on these poor preach
ers. They're doing the best they can
with the gang they've got to work
with
1.-The way you're running the devil
out Of Salina reminds me Of the way
my dog chased a hog once. The
dog was in front"
"a circuit judge down in Georgia
| threatened to fine me for contempt
once for something I said about him.
I told him that if he fined me in pro-
portion to my contempt for him he'd
sure bust me"
Il don't know whether I'm shock
ing you preachers or not the way I'm
talking, but il you listen good you'll
| learn how to talk IL straight from the
shoulder the way I do"
I'm not here to fight the saloon
keeper. Ny only objection to the Sa-
! loon keeper is the same objection 1
have against a louise. It's because he
gets his living of the head Of the
family"
Il used to be a democrat. aait
thirty years ago when they put
| liquor plank in their platform That
ended my connection with the demo-
cratic party. Now you republicans
don't need to cheer. Thank God,
never did dun with you fellows"
Il became a prOhibitiOnists thirty
| four years ago, and I've been one ev-
er since That's what you ought to
be. You pray one way and vote an
other, you devils you. Yes, and some
/ OF you D Teachers do the same thing"
I'D rather have a preacher pull a
gun on me than a manuscript. There's
/ a chance the gun might not go OF.
| Preachers ought to be like beer kegs
run wherever they're tapped"
| you'll never run the joints out Of
Salina until you run the punch bowls
out Of the parlOrs Of the town"
/ NOAAA AdAAAEA pAAAA6G MY Sill AAAAO
| hell than put her into the average bail
room"
The Lord deliver me from the wo-
man who buttons her collar around
her waist If the Almighty intended
women TO go naked the upper fourth
/ Of her body, he'd put feathers or
| something on her to cover her up
You women who play high I'VE and
/ whist for cut glass and silverware
| are just as much gamblers as the man
I who deals -T2wn in a bling hell
L Every one OF you ought to be arrest
| ed and put in Jail"
Il think the next president Of the
i United States will be William Jen-
/ nings Bryan. Now, why don't you re-
publicans cheer2 But you've been in
| long enough Some Of you've been at
1 the counter too long Some Of you
/ are getting into the penitentiary."
II hold in contempt a democrat who
/ is too narrow between the eyes to
| acknowledge that the republican par
l ~ has given US the greatest president
/ We've ever had, Theodore Roosevelt
Shame on you little narrOw-eyed de-
wills that can't acknowledge that
/ there's anything good outside Of your
/ own party Same way with you Bap-
/ lists, who can't see any good in the
/ Methodist church. You're all alike
you narrow pin-headed sinners. One
/ fellow over there jumped then just
i like I'd called his name"
Il tell you 1 like to see a good hOSs
\ ty years I just can't stand to see
| those little scrubs standing around
/ betting. Breed up your white folks
1 and III go to the races again. But
you've got to make some improve
Il ment in the breed"
/ Every time I leave home my wife
i hugs me and cries over me. I should
4 think you old women who are getting
1 restless could stand me one hour IL
/ that little woman down in Georgia
/ cries when 1 leave after putting UP
1 with me for forty years"
/ I'm kinder stuck on my wifeiS
l husband It's a good thing once in u
/ while to shake hands with yourself.
I can't help but feel stuck on myself
when L look at the fellows in front OF
Isre here"
