In his sermon at the Baptist church
Sunday night DIR. Butler expressed
the opinion that the greatest crisis In
the history OF the nation is confront.
ing the American people. They have
arrived, he thinks at the parting OF
the ways and must choose between
the road that leads to the most glor-
ious eminenec In moral and material
progress. prosperity aud happiness
ever achieved by any nation. and the
road whose destination is moral de-
cay. material decline and ultimate
ruin, analogous to that OF the Roman
empire. He deplored the frivolity OF
all classes but more especially OF the
young people who are seeking only to
have a good time oblivious OF
their duties and responsibilities and
OF the Importance OF preparing them
selves TO fill useful and honorable sta
tons in the world. On the other
hand God Is working nightly among
the people. stirring them up to great
er efforts and grander achievements
than ever before. On the whole. he
takes hopeful view OF the outlook
and predicts that the ngN year will
be fruitful in great events. II was n
sermon OF extraordinary power.

Man is by nature a fighting animal
and Americans are pre-eminently a
fighting people. But happily, under
the benign influence of Christianity
the lighting spirit Is not so often de-
voted to the destruction OF each other
as to subduing for the common good
the forces OF nature and graphing
with obstacles that have heretofore
obstructed the path of progress. The
fighting spirit also finds expression
in political campaigns which offer
great opportunities Tor the exercise
OF Courage and strategy. The people
OF Texas love a holly contested cleo

PIONEER IN LOCAL

Chas. E. Miller and Brother
Planning Extensive I'M
pTOVementS

The Charles E. Miller g. Brother firm.
Of 1105-07 Fourteenth street, lays claim
TO being the pioneer in tho Washing
ton automobile trade.
The firm was organized in 1895, and
began by handling bicycles. In a short
while. at the advent OF the earlier at
tempts at the manufacture OF the auto
mobile. the mobile steam car was added
10 the bicycle business. AS the auto
mobile improved the agency kept up
to the development In that line. and in
1904, the Ford, the most practical type
Of the electric machine. was taken on,
and in the next year the Indian motor
cycle added. So successful has the au-
tOmobile and motorcycle business be-
come that the bicycle has been crowded
out for lack Of room. and that branch
OF the business will be abandoned short
ly, while the motorcycle interests, al
though remaining under the control Of
the same firm, Will be housed in an
other building IN order TO make room
for the automobiles.
Commodious Show Room.
When this change takes place the
Ford automobile shcwrooms will be sec
ond to none In the city. The partition
now separating the two rooms in the
Fourteenth street establishment Will be
removed and the whole floor space OF
both rooms, one or v hiCh is now de-
voted 10 the cycles, wr1l be occupied by
the fun line OF autos manufactured by
the Ford Company.
The necessity for this transformation
can easily be detected upon a cursory
review OF the past performance OF the
firm and the prospects for the '0S sea
son. Already fourteen Of the new model
Fords are in use and IL is hoped that
sales OF this make will reach the 15O
mark this season This is no wild state
ment when IL is taken into considera-
tiOn that the number passed the century
mark last year-Only the second season
after their Introduction IN this city.
