Hadley Again Shown Up.

In recent speech at jackson,
Mr.. Cowherp made the charge that
the Anheuser-Busch Brewing Asso-
citation made contribution of $12,-
500 to the Missouri Republican
campaign fund in 1904. Mr.. Cow
herd also said that this matter had
been investigated by a committee
of the Missouri senate and proven
to be true. He asserted that this
contribution violated the laws of
Missouri; that this violation had
been brought to the attention of
Mr.. Hadley, the encouragement,
but that latter had refused to prose-
cute the Anheuser-Busch Brewing
Association.
A few days later, in a speech at
Poplar Bluff, Mr.. Hadley attempted
to reply to Mr.. Cowherd's charge
and asserted that the $12,5OO con-
tribution had been made by Mr..
Adolphus Busch and not by the
brewery corporation. Unfortunately
for Mr.. Hadley, the sworn testimony
of Mr.. Busch, given before the SEN
ate investigating committee in
1905, is a matter of record. His
testimony, printed in the Republic,
October list, shows that Mr.. Cow
herds charge is true and that Mr..
Hadley's denial is untrue.
The record, therefore. shows that
MIR. Hadley was the beneficiary, in
1904, of the contribution thus made
by the Anheuser-Busch Association
to the Republican state campaign
fund.
In the present campaign, Mr..
Hadley's St. Louis campaign man.
ager is Mr.. Otto Stifel, the head of
another big brewery association,
and the voters of Missouri are well
informed as to that fact.

Coming

To the opera house, the McCord
Stock Co., 8 nights commencing to-
night. Mr.. Fred McCord, in intro
ducine the McCord Stock Co., to the
patrons of our opera house not only
promises us, but assures that his
company is a distinct departure
from all others that have been pre-
scented in our city. The plays are
all new and have positively never
been seen here and never will be
unless presented by the McCord
Stock Co. 1t is something to be
able to say that at least we can
herald the coming of new plays, full
new ideas, situations and startling
effects. Such is true however of
the coming of the McCord Stock Co.
The opening play, Nebraska, is a
most striking production, It's new
and pleasing and there is not dull
moment in the play. 1t is unlike
any other military drama ever pre-
scented here. Mr.. McCord has Sc
lected an entire company that is ex-
ceptionally well fitted for each and
every part they play. Mr.. McCord
himself gives strong representa-
ton of a character which appeals
to the audience and demands talent
of superior quality. There is not
an undressing character in the
play. The stage settings are adj
mirable and lacking in nothing. An
unusually strong company win be
seen here with the McCord Stock
Co., and those who attend the open
ind performance will not have
cause to regret i'll. B. Hays,
opera house MANAGER.

Mineral Well.

Huntsville citizens seem quite
enthusiastic over her mineral water
developments. An analysis, by an
expert, of the water found there is
exceedingly flattering and all that
Huntsville has to do to put herself
on the map as a most popular
health resort is to take advantage
of what nature has done for her.
There is little doubt. but what
Huntsville has the most curative
and health giving waters to be
found in the state. That city is
naturally one of the most healthful
in the state, being we'll drained and
free from malaria and impure air.
If there was only good brick road
from Moberly to Huntsville, she
would receive enough patronage
from Moberly, for her waters, to
make her resorts paying ones. The
Democrat hopes that the city will
carry to completion all of the plans
now under contemplation for the
development of her mineral water
resources. Moberly Democrat.

Crow Asks for Negro Support.
j. j. Crow, the big negro buck
who bosses the negro Republican
sideshow in Missouri, is out in a
statement urging all negroes to
support Hadley, as he is their
friend. Crow evidently thinks that
as Hadley is a Kansas Jayhawker, if
he is elected governor that he will
put them in appointive offices over
the white people and see that Mis-
souri, has mixed schools as they
have in Kansas where Hadley halls
from. Crow is dead right about
Cowherd not believing in negro
equality and he can bet his black
boots that if Cowherd is elected no
negro will ever hold an appointive
job a white man can fill, and that
the negro children will not sit in
the same seat with white children
in our schools.-HuntsVille Herald.

A WoRKINGMAN's CHURCH.
Rev. Charles Sickle Discusses Mat
ter That Interests the Workers.

ter That interests the Workers.
Recently an earnest and, l believe,
thoroughly sincere trades unionist ad-
vocated the plan of organizing a
labor. which should be composed ex-
clusively Of working people who made
a profession of Christianity. The min
listers, the officers, the teachers, the
singers-all who had anything to do
with this novel organization were to
come from the ranks of the toilers.
Repeatedly has it been suggested
to me that 1 organize the Christian
trades unionists in the labor move
ment to separate trades unions. But
always have declined to become the
advocate of such scheme for practi-
cally the same reasons that prompt
me to disapprove of the organization
Of working people into separate relig-
ious organizations of any kind.
Perhaps the strongest objection to
such a plan is the fact that working
men themselves do not believe in
''class" churches. l once wrote to 800
of the prominent leaders of labor
asking their opinions concerning the
organization OF distinctively work
ingmans" church. Only three of the
300 were favorably disposed toward
the proposition. Among the reasons
given for opposing it were the follow
ing: ''If true religion means anything
1t means the fatherhood of God and
the brotherhood of man, and an ex-
elusive church would be contrary to
that doctrine" while workingmen
are poor. they are also proud, and
they would be slow to connect them.
selves with an exclusive institution
which might possibly be dubbed "a
poor mans church." "A church es.
tablishei exclusively for the work.
ingman would deteriorate. There
would ultimately arise secluded, iso
lated and forsaken spirit that would
eventually end in strife and dissatis
faction"
One of the reasons given for the
organization of this ''workingman's
church" is that the church is making
many great and grievous mistakes
But isn't that also true of the labor
union? Must we therefore pull out
of the labor union all of the Christian
men and those of high moral princi
pies and place them into separate
organization? Is it not better to keeI
them where they are, so that through
their influence they may correct the
errors which are now being made.
