Democratic or Nothing.

But Mr. Aked is different. He has q
record for doing vigorous things. He
is a militant minister. He wears
clothes like those of the ordinary bust
ness man, no doubt preferring them to
garments of the clerical cut for the
same reason that he prefers to be call
ed Mr.. Akcd. His theory is that the
preacher should not separate himself
from the people. Sometimes togGery
and titles do that, and Mr.. Aked con-
sistently avoids such a thing. He is
democratic or nothing. Just here it
may be pertinent to state that he has
declared his intention to become an
American citizen as soon as possible
and stay one the rest of his life. His
acts and utterances show that he has
the American spirit.
Mr.. Aked has no British titles back
of him. His father was an auctioneer.
The preacher was born at Nottingham
in the summer of 1864. The father
died when the boy was twelve years
old Young Charles Frederick began
early to make his own living. At six
teen he was attached to the office of
the sheriff, his chief duty being to act
as auctioneer in disposing of seized
md confscated goods. An early ex-
perience as an auctioneer is not Sc bad
for a preacher. 1t develops his lung
power and gives him ease before an
audience. Other noted men have been
auctioneers. Our own Josh Billings
followed that business for many years.
His experience was n great aid to him
when he went on the lecture platform.
Young Aked had some notion of be-
coming preacher, but he lacked the

marked: You can hardly find an Eng

his heart that the Beers We're right.

fore they did. that's ALL
Mr. Al;cd added that he often thinks
that the principle the Beers fought Cor
is the same principle that caused the
American revolution. Not long ago.
when he had decided to accept the call

reporter:
MY passion has always been for lib,
erty and to work for those who are
struggling for liberty, no matter where.
Now that | cannot fight for them as |
used to, l am glad to so where liberty
has been achieved"
The pathetic noterin this refers to his
health. While he is apparently in per
feet health and thoroughly robust.
three years ago he was compelled II
retire to Il health resort. His ailment
was tuberculosis. BY prompt treat

In and out of the chapel.
During the BLACK week. when the
British were being soundly thrashed
by the Boer patriots, Mr.. Aked an
bounced another sermon against the
Chamberlain policy. The mob that
Sunday was bigger than ever. The
preacher, his wife and a deacon left
the chapel after the service by side
door and took a cab. A thousand riot
ers surrounded the cab and attacked it.
The vehicle was partly wrecked, but
managed TO reach the pastors house.
Mr.. Aked sprang out. fought his way
through and opened the door. Then he
returned to escort Mrs. Aked from the
cab. The mob attacked him from all
sides. One man planted himself direct
ly in the path of Mrs Aked. The mill
| tant parson did not hesitate. He had
solid muscles. developed by golfing and
other athletic exercises. He simply
| squared off. as fighters say, and let the
| other fellow have it smack on the
mouth. The man dropped to the
ground, and the preacher took his wife
| into the house.
! Afterward. when the deacon inform
ed his pastor that the blow had broken
some of the fellows teeth, Mr.. Aked
| laughed.
The mob attacked the house and
| broke out most of the windows. The
chapel also was badly damaged by
their fury.
After five Sundays of this sort of
thing the head constable called upon
the preacher.
Look here, Mr.. Aked.'' he said, I'm
getting tired of furnishing police pro-
lection. Now that you've proved to
these people that you mean what you
say and are not afraid of saying it.
wouldn't it be good plan for you tC
take a vacation for one Sunday and
break the continuity? Maybe then the
mob would quiet down"
The preacher agreed to this. His alb
sence for one Sunday had the desired
effect. The head constable had a the
DRY that the mob had merely formed
the habit of Aked batting, and this
break broke up the habit. Mr.. AkeC
returned and preached Boer liberty il

SON" 1t is well known that before ac-
cepting this call he insisted upon re-
ceiving from the trustees of the church
their signed assurance that he was to
have "a free hand" which means that
he is not to be hampered III his wOrl;
by any traditions of great wealth or
social prestige. He is to preach the
gospel truth as he understands It,
There Is to be no gag in his mouth.
Now, all this is of general public in
terest. If the Fifth Avenue church
had hired for pastor a person of the
conventional clerical type, an easy GO

most of the fashionable churches in our
large cities, there would have been
nothing new and therefore nothing in

BUT HERE ANOTHER POINT

Only n small proportion of our
stock has been sold, and it is more
likely that we will never need to
sell more than one-half of our stock.
This will not only double our divi-
dends, but double our holdings as
well, since the unsold stock will be
issued as stock dividends.

in that colony when by chance the

a noted figure in Liverpool Whenever
he saw gross injustice anywhere in

County Boundary Action to

Guthrie. Okla, Mar. 22-Col.
"Bob" Lowry of Saltwater, for
mer member of the Oklahoma
leg islature and candidate last
fall for the republican nomina-
ton for delegate to the constitu-
tional convention, is here today
aud states that in his opinion the
action contemplated by Payne
county to prevent Rock and Wal.
nut townships being taken from
Payne and added to Noblecounty
as adopted by the constitutional
convention, will in ali probability
not be filed in the courts until
after the constitution is passed
upon by the people,
Col. Lowry states that if the
constitution is adopted, then
whenever Noble county seeks to
extend jurisdiction over the two
townships. an action will be COM
menced in the court to prevent
Noble county from 80 extending
her jurisdiction. Again, he said,
the case may arise in another, or
for that matter in several differ
ent ways. In case a resident of
either Of these townships would
be made a defendant in the pro-
bate court of Payne county, as
defendant he could set up the
fact that the township belonged
to Noble county, under the con-
stitution, and that the Payne
county court had no jurisdiction.
This would put the question
squarely before the courts for
settlement.
1t has developed that the
county boundary proposition as
passed by the convention on third
reading, was never signed by
President Murray and remains
today unsigned. The PROPOSE.
tion was passed in rush on the
day that the holiday recess was
taken, and it was not in en-
crossed for signature at that
time. 1t was stated today by
Joseph E. Johnson, the journal
clerk of the convention, that the
proposition was never thereafter
presented to Murray for his sig
nature.
1t is held by others, however,
that the signing of this PROPOSE.
ton was left open on purpose, in
order to escape injunction mat
tsrs in the courts on the part of
counties where division is being
opposed. Whether this is cor.
rect or not, it is held just the
same that the proposition being
unsigned postpones any injunc-
ton matters until it lie signed. 1t
is stated today, too, that the con.
vention will net adjourn sine die,
even after the constitution is
signed when the delegates return
here on April 16, but will be left
open to call of the president in
case other matters show up for
consideration.
