The log cabin Democrat., 1908-10-31

One of the biggest cards oi the entire campaign was played Thurs. day when John D. Rockefeller, president of the Standard Oil Com pany, over which is hanging fine of S2o ,ooo, GOO for violations of the the federal antitrust law, issued a signed statement declaring that he would support MT. Taft for presi- dent. That statement alone will be worth hundreds of thousands oi votes for the Democratic party in states which have suffered so much at the hands of the oil trust. So thoroughly has it already aroused the American people that from the White house Friday came state ment in which President Roose- welt attempted to evade the evident connection between his party and Standard Oil by saying that 1t was trick on the part of the Stand ard Oil people to try to damage Taft.
 But the people will not be de- ceived by such denials. They now know why the Republicans have consistently refused tolpublish the sources of their enormous cam paign fund. They know that the Standard Oil is for Taft because they want Taft elected, and they know that the coffers of the Repub- lican campaign treasury have been stuffed with Standard Oil money, for the same reason.
 Mir. Rockefeller gives these reasons for supporting Taft
 of for no other reasons, l sup pert Mir. Taft because on compar- ing him personally with MT. Bry- an, his chief opponent, l find the balance of fitness and temperament entirely on his side. The election of Mir. Taft will, I believe, make for law and order and stability of business. He is not a man in- clined to rash experiments or to imepde return to prosperity by advocating measures subverslve industrial progress.
 Replying to this statement MT. Bryan said in speech in Ohio yesterday:
 There are several things in the statement that deserve attention. The first clause says if for no other reason. But there is already a reason. He is for MT. Taft be- cause MT. Taft is for him. He is

HENDRIX ON DISASTROUS TRIP
Football Team Returned Home
 This Morning.
Game at Ouachita was Close, but the Boys were Overwhelmed in Ruston
 Contest.

The Hendrix College football team returned last night from a weeks trip, playing Ouachita Col lege at Philadelphia, and Louis jana Industrial Institute at Ruston, La. The team left Conway Mon- day morning, but was forced to lay over in Little Rock Monday on account of poor railroad con- nections. On Tuesday the team played Ouachita College and was defeated I4-6. Hendrix scored first when Downing carried the ball through the line after Tate had placed it on the 10 yard line as the result of a forward pass. Captain Robertson then kicked goal. Ouachita scored later in this half, but failed to kicked goal. In the. second half Ouachita kicked a field goal from the 25 yard line and in the last 5 minutes Of play scored another touchdown, again failing to touch goal. The Hen drix players assert that the referee was largely to blame for their de- feat, penalizing them seven times to once for Ouachita. also some declare that the ball was clearly a foot from the line when Ouachita was given the first touchdown. It has long been rumored that wis iting team is unable to secure fair officials in Philadelphia.
 Crippled Team Played Ruston.
 Of the game at Ruston, the less said the better. The Hendrix team, already crippled, went up against an older and faster team, who outweighed them 30 pounds to the man, and this, coupled with the inspiration resulting from be- ing on home grounds and home crowd, allowed the l.. l. l. team to win by an exceedingly large score. The Hendrix boys, how ever, declare that they never played against a cleaner bunch of athletes nor received better treat ment at any school than at the Louisiana institution.

lie Is now 50 years old and while in good health at the time of this writing his passing is but matter ot few months or years. There are two sides to this great man. One is Leo Tolstoi the artist and the other-Leo Tolstoi the man As the artist he has written fearless works and the person or clique which has fallen under the seath- Ing attack of his pen has seldom been known to boast of it.
 There Is no disputing his rank as the best known CT living authors. Also he is the most generally read and recognized He has attained the highest pinnaele of fan@ in the literary field and it can not be said that he erayed fame either
 Pest of all, Tolstoi is q friend of all Americans The traveller from the United States. visiting Rus. sa, is as welcome at the Yasnaya Poyana estate of Russias great man as if he were in his own home America likes Tolstoi too, for the author is the most democratic of men

 To be friend of the Russian peasant up to few years ago meant to be enemy of the gov ernment. Upon several occasions Tolstoi's outcry against oppression of czars subjects has placed him behind the grimy walls of Sav dungeons but he always returned continue the work which he has ably accomplished.
 He Is social reformer of the first water and many of the acts of justice which the Russian gov ernment of late years has accomplished can be traced back to the work of Telstoi.

years ago, when ne himself declared that his great creative works were unworthy and altogether evil
 Here is his own account of the split in his life:
 T had tried to test science and modern cu- ture, and l have turned from them with a feeling of repulsoa because of the inability of the first to solve the really important problems of life and because of the hellewness and falaeness of the second"
 By becoming chummy with the peasant Tolstoi declares he turned to frankuess. simplicity and essential kindness and he says he is today near CT mother earth than ever in his lie He declares the peasant typieally, is the ideal Christian And thus since 1875 his writings have been almost ex. clusyely polemic and didactc.
 Today Count Leo Tolstoi is a large heavily built man with unusually long arms hanging loosely at his sides, with wide nose somewhat thick lips, small gray eyes, head set on bulky but slightly stopping shoulders and a matted white beard He possesses an air of strength that is found in few great men The power that one finds in him is both mental and rhysieaI and hence of the durable sort.
 One of this mans great themes is the Sermon on the Mount In this he has declared that he found five laws of God and he has made them his rules for faith and conduct throughout the later wears of his life. These laws are sum marized as follows:
 Live in peace with ali men and do not reqard any man as your superior.
 Do not make the beauty of the body an occasion for lust
 Every man should have one wife and every woman one husband. and they should not be di Norced fer any reason
 Do not revenge yourself and do not punish oth CTS because you think yourself insulted or hurt Suffer all wrong ard do not repay with evil for you are all the children cf one father

Caught.

A member of the Pittsburg Con-
ference tells an interesting little
story on one of his own boys. The
incident happened when the lad was
quite young, but after he had learned
to pray. He had some trouble one
day with his older brother. They
came to their father with the matter
as he sat at work in his study. The
merits of the case were examined
into by the father, and when he was
through it was clear that the younger
boy was entirely in the fault.
The youngster also keenly realized
that fact After giving the boy a
kindly admonition, the father turned
again to his book. Presently he
heard the little fellow over in the
corner of the room praying. Among
the petitions which reached the
fathers ear was this one: 80 Good
Man, do help me, for I'm caught"
It's the old story of the child
being father to the man." There is
a supposition current that there are
some praying folks in the world who
really don't work much at the bust
ness except when they get about
where the preachers boy was. His
case had this merit in it, that he
frankly confessed his unpleasant posi-
ton; acknowledged that he was

tive as long as possible. Pittsburg

CONSEQUENCES.

Consciences differ. Of course they
differ. Yet though differing in each
they can nevertheless be reliable
guides in right doing. Of course they
differ. They must differ. We are
at all sorts of different degrees of
evolution. We require varying coun-
sells in accordance, different faiths
and PHILOSOPHERS to lead us, console
and enlighten us; different occupa-
lions to educate our faculties of mind
and heart and body; different rules
as the laws of our growth.
Imagine a soul dwelling in each
tree The sapling of a year or two's
growth that is just awakening from
it's long winters sleep to enter upon
a springtime Of further development
will have briefer experience to draw
from than will the soul inhabiting
some mighty monarch of the forest
which has slept: thousand winters
through and has waxed and increased
through a thousand springtimes and
is great in experience and wisdom.
Also the soul in the sapling will
have a different counsel to give for
the sapling's benefit. 1t will counsel,
let us say, to lean we'll on the sup
porting prop and not to quail at the
gardeners pruning. But the sage
old soul in the heart of the primeval
oak will have naught to tell of props
and pruning. "Stretch wide your an
Gent arms" we can hear it whisper,
shelter the weary, passing pilgrim,
give shade in summer to the toiler in
the field, be the refuge of those that
are out in the storm and are timid
and afraid. New Haven Register.

A Life That Defeats Itself.

Self-centred life is everywhere the
great disturber of human happiness.
1t defeats itself and keeps its vic
tins forever upon the rack.
1t collides with others interests,
and God is in it's way.
1t destroys the peace of the home.
1t leads husbands to be Indifferent
or unkind to their wives, and wives
to regard their husbands only as the
chief of their own conveniences.
1t underlies suits for divorce.
1t leads children to demand that
the whole of the family arrangement
shall be managed with reference. to
their personal pleasure.
1t breeds social jealousies and
neighborhood quarrels; it breaks up
church choirs, scrambles for the chief
seats in the synagogues. and sets
church members to praying, Lord,
grant that we may sit on Thy right
hand and on Thy left in Thy King
DOM"
It leads Diotrephes to love the pre-
,eminence.
1t is to the credit of the religion of
Christ that selfishness cannot live in
peace with it.-Rev. D. w. Hunting
ton, D. D.
