Too Much "Third-TermiSm M"

Oct. 13th.-W. W. WooD.-We are
glad you are in harness again, and for
the ginger you can put in the politics of
the county. What is the matter with
touching up the third term business?
Is llanlan Il bigger man than Roose-
welt? Both Roosevelt and IIanlan prom
iscd not To ask for Il third term; Roose-
welt kept his promise, but Mike wants a
third and II fourth, if he can get it,
Mike went through the county three
years ago, solcmnly promising, if elected,
he would ask for no more. Now he is
hot-lootcd for Il third term, and claims
that he is running because the whole
county is stuck ON hlm. What is the
matter with giving him a life term and
saving election expenses?
All this talk about his being obliging
and courteous is rot. Why shouldn't he
be? What is he paid for? 1t is his duty
as servant OF the people, and there are
Il number OF other people who would
like to have the chance to be obliging
and courteous for So 900 year.
We have good fellow in Berlin, who
has been for years one of the largest
rural tax payers in Wayne county; q
Justice Of the Peace for fifteen years Il
man who has settled more disputes ami
cably than any Justice of the Peace in
Wayne county. How often do you hear
of any appeal in court from our j. P?
Wallace J. Barnes is candidate for
Prothonotary, and is just as capable as
Mike lianlan. lie is an upright, hon
orablc citizen, and ii you give him a
chance he will be just as obliging and
popular us llanlan.
Third tcrmism is un-American, and to
begin it in Wayne county is Il mistake.
4 vote for Wallace j. Barnes is vote
against third term, and in favor of
giving other people a chance to hold Of

Peculiar Case Now Being Heard in
the Superior Court - Claim

Keep Contract

A peculiar suit was filed in the su-
perior court yesterday by F. e. Simons,
who seeks to obtain $1050 from Samuel

tetween Samuel Cripe and Miss Vance,
the former to pay her $500 if she would
release all claim on the Cripe property
and commence action against Cripe for
an annulment of the marriage, the
costs of which suit should be borne by
herself. Services rendered in behalf oil
Miss Vance by Hester & Ladd, firm

he agreeing to give them $3.50.
In August, 1904 nothing had been
paid, it is said, and the claims were
assigned to r. e. Simons, who says
nothing has yet been paid by Grippe,

have a settlement made.

ENGLISH MINISTER
VISITS LOS ANGELES
WILL INQUIRE INTO APOSTOLIC
WORK HERE
Is One of the Leading Exponents of
Divine Healing and Seeks to
Find How Subject is
Treated on ccast

Rev. J. NJ. Pollock. one of the leading
evangelists and exponents of divine
healing in England, arrived in Los An
geles Thursday morning. He came di-
rect from his home, making the trans
Atlantic and transcontinental journey
in two weeks.
Rev. Pollock's purpose is to inquire
into the divine healing and general So
called apostolic work being carried on
hereabouts, and during his stay, which
will be of some weeks duration, he will
be the guest of DIR. +. r. Yoakum at
Pisgah home, Highland Park.
Mr.. Pollock was ordained in the
Church of England, but for some years
has been engaged in interdenomina-
tional work, taking a prominent part in
great evangelistic conventions in Eng
land, Ireland, Scotland and Switzer-
land.
Before he "got the light" as he ex-
presses it, he was vicar for five years
of the established (EpiscopaD church at
Little Heath, twelve miles north of
London.
Discussing with a reporter of The
Herald the purpose of his visit, Rev.
Pollock said:
Divine healing is decidedly on the in
crease in England, the extent to which
it is practiced depending upon the in
dividual pastor or vicar, and the
amount of light he has. Excepting
in certain strikingly exceptional cases,
the Church of England is spiritually
dead Yet few devoted, energetic men
are devoting their lives to spreading
the new old gospel as given literally in
the scriptures.
I'VE have been hearing great things
of the work in Los Angeles, and have
been sent out to investigate it, because,

er cases in which we fail.
There are several centers of activity
in England at which the full truth of
the New Testament IS being taught,
and religious thought in the United
Kingdom is sure to be quickened until
a great revival sweeps over the land.
The people are ready for it, but the
mass of the clergy are not. In North

propagation of evangelistic teaching. of
which Mrs. Baxter is the supporter and
