as men, left this morning for Wes-
tern Kentucky. The commissioned
officers with twelve picked men are
already in Hopbinsville.
Sergt. Asbury Debusk will leave
for Hopkinsville and Cadiz, KY, in
command of forty men. Orders
have also been given by Gov. Will
son to get all the recruits possible, as
there is big demand for militia in
Western Kentucky.
Looks Like Business.
Mai. Geo. w. Albrecht, who is in
command here, left Monday evening
and will return with his additional
troops today. What disposition will
be made of the 60 men under his
command will not be made public.
A part of them are ordered to Cadiz
and other points in Trigg county
may be occupied. 1t is understood
that the Governor. will use the full
military strength of the State
Guards to restore peace and it is be-
lieved that he has come to a thor
ough understanding with the Presi-
dent and will have the cooperation
of the regular troops if the lawless-
ness reaches the magnitude of an in
surrection.
Maj. Albrecht is soldier of ex-
perience and will not only enforce
order but will command respect for
the military authority of the gov
eminent, as the state troops are now
part of the national guard. Upon
his arrival here, there were some in
sulting remarks made by sympathiz-
GERS of the lawless element for the
soldiers to overhear as they passed
along the streets. AS soon as Maj.
Albrecht went on duty, he armed
his men with revolvers and instruct
ed them to demand respect for the
authority of the state and the flag
of the United States. This put a
sudden stop to disparaging remarks
in their hearing.

Senator AIlison's Fortune

Senator Allison mas little laid by. enough to produce him the income of $2,500. to which the Register and Lead CT refers. But he received that from his wife's estate. His wife was the adopted daughter of Senator Grimes, Iowa's first republican United States senator. We believe she inherited a fortune of about $4O, ,000 or $50.00O, not more than $6O.O0O. including the home in Washington, which is known as Senator Allisons home, a modest brick building. wedged between other build ings. Senator Allison has never tried to build up a fortune, but he has been just about able to maintain intact the money which he inherited. Other for tune he has none.
 The editor of this paper became &C., quainted with these facts as long ago as 1888, when he was a reporter on the Des Moines Register, and went to Dubuque at the suggestion of James s. Clarkson. then editor of that paper. to prepare some matter for general publication about the life of Senator Alison, who was then a candidate for the nomination Of president. One of the questions asked the senator was about his success in business life and his business pursuits. that his work in the senate and in the campaigns

that you feel in the lonely days that came to you when driven into ex- ile. from your work, from your friends, from all that gives joy 10 life? Did you not dispair? Did you not think that this world was all a blind puzzle and that life was not worth living?" With simple and unaffected modesty he threw aside the thought of the broken hope and ambitions of his own life. the stopping of his own brilliant and successful career and replied. That as in silence and in weakness he walked the everlasting hills, and looked around at the young men of brilliant promises and hopes in various profes-
 siOns of life. young like himself, there came the full rich relevation. as he had never known before of the eternal life, of the immortality of the soul. and in gaining and winning this unwaver- ing confidence in the continuation Of his own life and identity had come the profoundest faith in God. Had he died then he would have believed as he be- lieved now, that this life was supreme ly good, and whatever might befall others he would believe to the end that it was good or rather there would be no end. for always he would be living, his life could not be destroyed. To that young man there had come the rich knowledge that only a few of Gods rare souls should discover even through age and experience and great revelation of sorrow and joy,

not destroy her love. Your son or your daughter may disappoint you upon whom you are building great hope and high ambition in their earlier years. They may fail to respond to all your noble aspirations. and unselfish affection for them. They may be friv- olous and foolish. with no seriousness of purpose or character in all their lives. Even then 1t may be well with us. if we learn the hard lessons that such experiences teach us. and come forth with our faith and love purified from the burning. We must not grow hard and bitter in doubting God in his goodness, even human love fails us. From the hurt and shock let us recov- CT ourselves and still believe in love and friendship, even though our dear est forsake us. Let us believe in hon. or and truth and goodness, however. we may be confronted with their op- posites shown forth in the men who come into our lives.
 l was talking some time ago with a man, a brilliant, intellectual light. with an earnest spiritual purpose in life, who suddenly in the richness and fullness of his work and activity, was struck down by a grieviouS disease. To those who look from the outside 1t seemed one of the pathetic tragedies of this, our world. It saddcned those who knew and loved him, and it seem ed fearful waste of splendid man hood and service. What is it I asked
Arizona republican., 1908-02-10

not give US license to sin; but if We have sinned, God will forgive. The conditions of Christ's command are surrender and service. To surrender to Christ is but the beginning, the sub sequent service is implied in the vol untary surrender.
 Another important thought is brought out by emphasis upon the pronoun thou" Many, many men there are who condemn the Christ. because of the false lives of some of his follow CTS. Such an attitude IS unfair. un- wise, unreasonable and unjust. We would not judge the policy of a busi- ness Ffirm wholly by the actions of a subordinate; no more has any one a right to judge Christ or his cause un- worthy, because of one who has proven himself false.
 Why should we heed the command ? Following Christ means fellowship with him; fellowship with him means a marvellous upllft of character. Ev- eryone can prove this for himself for he knows from his own observations, who are the best, the purest, the nob- lest men. Those who follow Christ do the most to uplift the people they touch, the community in which they live, and the nation of which they are part. This can be demonstrated mathematicany. You can not be in Christ's company without being up- lifted. Pattern your life after his. and he will save your soul and through you, will save others.

had absorbed all of his life and all of his energies. that he had no children and had no incentive to accumulate money. We think he also stated at the time that the money that belonged to his wife had been invested in rail- road bonds or stocks.
 It ought not to be necessary to dig into these matters of the private life of man whose eminent fitness and untiring devotion to public duties have made him lconspiciOus. But traducers of personal honor must sometimes be answered. and in the case of Senator Allison one needs no other defense than the plain unvarnished facts.-Ce- dar Rapids Qa) Republican.

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Al the Christian church, L. Williams minister. the subject of the sermon was: Two Roads and Two Destina- tions. Matthew 7:13-14 and Luke I3:23-24
 Life is a pilgrimage through the world to a future destiny. The great Teacher lets us know there are two roads and two destinations, and our own experiences rand observations as- sure us that His words are true There is not a neutral road between the right and wrong. Furthermore, there are only two roads. He that is not for me, is against me. is a plain statement. Jesus divides the world into two classes and the acts of men into two
Arizona republican., 1908-02-10

kinds Sin is not merely the shadow
 of the good. it is real and destroys the souls of men. When Jesus said to
 men Enter ye in at the strait gate"
 he comedies to humanity the power of
 choice. There is no meaning in his
 words if man is not free to choose.
 Man is conscious of his freedom. If ! he were not. he would not have any feeling of responsibility. Let it be
 noted. that hereditary predictions 1 and earl- environment are strong in- | influences in determining the choice
 one makes when he comes to the years | of accountability. but their influences are not fixed laws. A planet moves
 under fixed law and cannot break out
 of it's orbit but man by sheer force of
 his own will. can break away from all the influences which operate either within or without. He does not act without the consent of his will and hereditary influences or that of en- Vironment cannot force him to choose
 or act tgains; his own will. Man is the arbiter of his own destiny for he chooses the road that determines his destination. Let no man say he is a victim of circumstances. but let him
 vie in the power of his will and choose and do the right. These two
 roads are not parallel. ghey lead in different directions. Hence there must be two destinations, for the pil- grims cannot arrive at the same place On these roads there are two sorts of folks. differing in their motives and aspirations. one living on the physical plane merely to gratify selfish desires and the other walking after the spirit and guided by principle. The two crowds are not congenial. They are separated by a great gulf-the diff ference in their characters. They can never come together unless there is great change wrought. If they con. tinue as they are. there must of neA cessity be two destinations.

THE CHURCHES
IIIIIIIIIIlnIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIl
FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Rev. Henry Martyr CampOells Sun day morning sermon was from the text Follow thou me-" John 21:22.
 These words might be said to be a sort of summary of the Christian life. The Christian is to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and here, in these brief words, We have his command so to do. These words are emphatic. They were spoken to Peter after Christ had thrice asked the question, simon, son of Jonas, lowest thou me? and Peter had replied in grief. Lord, thou knowest all things: thou knowest that l love thee" Peter, seeing the disciple whom Jesus loved also following, had asked, Lord, and what shall this man do?" Jesus answered, If l will that he tarry til I come, what is that to thee? Fol low thou me" The text is applicable alike to the Christian wno has long been such, to the one who has just started in the Christian life, and to the one who has never followed Jesus.
 Christ was a man of most humble birth and lowly life, yet his words are a command. He called his disciples with the voice of authority. He or dered the traders from the temple with the words, Take these things hence" How could he speak with such author ity? The reasons are two-what he was and what he did. He was divine. They saw it in the very looks of his face; they heard it in his voice; they knew it from his life. He spoke with power because of what he did. As the centuries have been rolling around, his cause has gone on and on, because he bought us. with price and We are his.
 Christ spoke these words directly to Peter. who had so recently denied him. From the fact that Christ said to unworthy Peter, Follow thou me" comes this lesson, You never need de- spair of Gods accepting you, no mat ter how unworthy you are" That does

The version of the play. for it is un- like the new st-le of extravaganza and can lay claim to the title play" in asmuch as it possesses a definite plot, is an entirely new and mOdernized one.

The Man who Wrote Casey"

The authorship of the immortal base
ball poem, casey at the Bat" has long
been in dispute, and is about to be deter
mined, judicially we understand, but
conclusively at any rate. 1t was written
by Ernest Lawrence Thayer, Harvard
graduate of the class Of 1885, and during
his college period an editor Of the Lam
pooh. Thayer was a contemporary Of
William Hearst, and having newspaper
propensity, went out with Hearst to San
Francisco and took service on the Exam
iner. For that paper ne wrote his cele-
brated lyric. For while it languished
in comparative obscurity, but presently,
after lapse of time computed by histo-
rians to be two years, the last eight
verses of it were copied into the New
York Sun and the poem started on its way
to become national possession. Either
Thayer did not put his name to it in the
first place, or the name became detached,
for authors for it sprang up, as it became
popular, until as many poets claimed it as
cities claimed Homer. One of them was
so persistent thst we believe Mr.. Thayer
has taken legal action somewhere to es-
tablish the rightfulness of his own claim.

A Schooner Syndicate.

BosToN December End. The syndi-
cate that purchased the big Gloucester
fishing schooner Independence II intends
to assemble fleet of fast clipper schoon-
ers for its trade of gathering cocoanuts
and other freight among the islands Of
the West Indies and transporting it to
some Of the gulf ports.
1t was reported yesterday that the
company had purchased the stanch
schooner Nellie Dixon from Capt. James
Ellis, and that other vessels were being
looked over. Two high-powered motor
boats will also be purchased here and
will be used in the shallow waters where
the schooners cannot go.
The price paid for the independence
II and the Nellie Dixon was not reveal
ed, but it is said that the syndicate has
ample backing and that the price de-
manded by the owners did not interfere
with the sale of the vessels.
