find in him almost an ideal can

not vote for him if we subscrib-
ed to all of his political views
because we believe his election
would be a serious blow to
Christianity.
In the last few years foreign
missions have made marvellous
strides in converting the heath

men and women into the benight-
ed and heather countries and
contributing millions to their sup
port, following the injunction of
Christ himself. go we into all
the world and preach the Gospel
Every missionary tells the story
of this Christian land, what
Christianity has done for it and
what it can do for the individual.
1t would be the most damaging
blow that Christians could strike
to this cause which is dear to
their hearts, to elect a Christless
candidate President. The heath

article is not an appeal to your

Republicans now claim that
they can elect Mr.. Taft without
New York, an admission that the
State will be carried by the Dem
ocrats. When Mr.. Bryan closes
his speaking tour in New York
this week there will be no longer
a doubt as to how it will vote
next Tuesday.
The Adair County news., 1908-10-28

The old saying, ''vote as you
shot," served it's purpose and
was considered by many devout
Republicans to be their duty.
Now to these same devout men
we simply suggest that it would
be we'll to vote as you pray. You
are aware of the fact that Mr..
Taft does not believe that Christ
was the Son Of God, or that he
is the Saviour. If you believe
in putting such a man at the
head of our Nation then it ap-
pears most propitious time for
calling in all our Foreign Mis-
sionaries. This is not given as
political scheme, but is a condi-
ton that confronts the people and
they must determine what is
best. How any man who loves
his Saviour, who believes in the
spread of the gospel, and wants
the people saved can accept such
a candidate merely because of
political faith seems mystery.
Mr.. Bryan is a true Presbyterian,
and is therefore sound on all the
great doctrines of salvation and
would reflect much credit on our
religion if elected President.
You may lightly consider this,
but it is no trivial matter, and
later on you may have regrets
when too late to undo.

hurt is threatened to Christi
anity in the selection of a can
didate for office to the cause of
Christ that party ties should not
be considered for a moment.
| The question of Christianity
has been raised in this President
ial election. Judge Taft, the
Republican nominee is a Unitar-
ian. The Unitarian denies the
Divinity of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He denies the existence of the
Trinity and believes as the word
Unitarian signifies on one God.
A unitarian is not Christian.
He disputes the voice from
heaven. This is my beloved
son in whom | am well pleased. "
He destroys the pan of salvation.
He makes the crucifixion a mock
cry and the hope of salvation by
the belief in His resurrection a
farce. This country has never
elected a President who did not
believe in the Divinity Of Jesus
Christ. AS far as we know there
never was a candidate before the
people for this high office who
doubted the Divine origin of
Jesus of Nazareth.
The Constitution of the United
States does not prescribe any
man from holding the Office of
President on account of his
religious beliefs or the lack of
them. This is a wise provision
of the law. For in the discharge
of the duties of this Office reli-
gion has no part, as we have
wisely separated the church and
State. Judge Taft would doubt
less make good President. He
measures fully up to the Jeffer-
sonian standard of capacity and

How Should Christians Vote?
(From E. Town News.)

Y
There is not the slightest doubt
that Christians should vote as
they pray. Because man is
given the right of citizenship and
the right to vote in the selection
of those who govern and make
the laws of the country, he is
not released from any of his
Christian obligations. In fact as
this is a Christian country his
obligations to his religion should
invariably accompany him to his
voting booth. Any Christian who
casts a ballot in any election
which Injuries Christ's kingdom
on Earth either directly or in
directly does violence to his
religion and interferes if it does
not retard the spread of the
gospel. In this Christian country
it is so general that those who
are candidates for office are
Christians that the question is
hardly ever thought Of by
Christians, except in the selec-
ton of men of good moral worth
and probity of character. We do
not believe in religion in politics
in the sense in which it is
generally used but we do
believe in Christianity in
politics. We do believe that
every citizen who has confessed
the name of the Lord Jesus
Christ owes higher allegiance to
to the King Of Kings than to any
! political praty. That when any

If prosperity is here why not
start the mills to cutting lumber
Why not sell your timber, mules
and horses? Mr.. Taft is pledged
to carry out that which Mr..
Roosevelt began, and if elected
we believe he will do exactly
what he is hidden to do. The
panic is not over it Mr.. Roose-
velt's policy is to be continued,
and you may mark this down as
certain.
The Adair County news., 1908-10-28

The political battle is now near
ing an end and while the great
majority of people have settled
the matter in their minds as to
how they will vote, yet the eff
fort to produce a change of SEN
timent and action is at its height.
In all the campaigns Of the past
the present one has no equal, in
many respects. It has been one
in which the plain people have
been given an opportunity to
look at the real issues and to see
the drift OF government toward
Capitalization. The people are
aroused, and from every section
the Republicans are heavy losers.
That Mr.. Bryan will be elected
can not be doubted, unless mil
lions of dollars are spent in a
number of Republican States.
The only thing that can possibly
pull Mr.. Taft through is money,
and judging from the tone Of re-
ports that will not do it. The
Republicans and Independents
who are for Bryan and Kern are
not of the selling kind. They
are men who place their country
above their party when the party
fails to meet the reasonable de-
mands of business and fair play.
The situation is a most hopeful
one to all interested in the cleo
ton of Mr.. Bryan. He has made
an able, fair andGclean fight, and
will be elected by the largest
electoral and popular vote that
any man ever received from the
American people If you are for
the principles of the Democratic
party, cheer up, for a great victo-
nv is certain on November the
third.

DOES SHE STILL LIVE
The Belief That Mrs Guinness is Alive Grows Measuring
 ihe Dead.

Chicago, May S.-A dispatch to the Inter Ocean from La Porte, Ind, says:
 Mrs Belle Guinness, high priest ess of murder, who at the back door of her farmhouse kept a private graveyard from which nine bodies have been unearthed, is alive. This was established beyond req sonable doubt yesterday. An ordi- nary tape measure proved the agent whic5 may solve the perplexing mys- tery of the long series of startling crimes.
 Careful measurements were taken of the headless trunk of the woman found in the ruins of the burned home, which at first was thought to be the body of Mrs Guinness. This resulted in the astounding revela- tion that the dead woman was not more than half the size or weight of the siren who is supposed to have lured score of men to their death.
 In addition to the convincing tes- timony of the tape, half dozen of the intimate friends of Mrs Guin- ness asserted with the positiveness of absolute conviction that the dead body was not that of the mistress of the castle of death on the Me Clung road.

A PROVIDENCE MAN
Proves to Be One of the Guinness
 WOman's Victims.

Providence, R. l., May S.-The
 Providence man believed to have
 been one of the victims of Mrs Belle
 Guinness was Mads Sorensen, who
 was at one time the husband of the
 woman suspected of having mur-
 dered more than a dozen persons. Thorvald Sorensen of 39 Lisbon street, this city. brother of Mads Sorensen, claims that the death of
 Mads was brought about by drink ing potion handed to him in his
 bedroom In Chicago by his wife
 while friends were in the sitting room of their home. These people
 heard Sorensen say: Belle you have but be- fore they could catch the rest of the remark, the door to the bedroom where he was dying was closed by the woman. Soon after she came out and announced that the man was dead. The relatives after wards made an effort to the cause of the death of Oscar Sorensen, brother of the dead man went to Chicago. had the body exhumed and rough examination made. He had not money enough to obtain an analysis of the stomach by an expert chemist and for some req son, the Chicago police would not take a hand in the matter and so it was dropped. The relatives have never given up the idea. however, that Mrs Sorensen was the means of caus- ing her husbands death, believing that she did 1t for the sS.500 life in- surance policies which he carried.
 Shortly before Mads Sorensen died the house in which he lived burned to the ground and shortly after his death the store which he and his wife established also burned. In both cases there were suspicious circum- stances in connection with the fires, hut after an examination by the in- surance companits the amount of the policies was paid to the woman.
