CALLS .SLANDERER
"a HUMAN SNAKE
REV. ROBERT 5URDETTE DELIV-
ERs ScoRcHING SERMON
"Poisoned Arrows" Is Subject of Ora.
matte Denunciation of Anonymous
Letter Writers, Gossipers
and Tale=Bearers

Pastor Robert J. Burdette preached
on the topic POISONED Arrows at the
Temple Baptist church, taking for his
text James 3-S: 1.-The tongue no man
can tame; it is a restless evil, full of
deadly poison"
He said in part:
more murders have been committed
by the tongue than by the dagger.
More lives have been destroyed by talk
than by gunshots. More homes have
been desolated by SANDER and tale
bearing than by storm and fire.
"There is tribe of barbarians in
Africa who make a poison for their ar
row tips. 1t is said to be one of the
deadliest poisons in the world. 1t is
fearfully rapid in it's action, and men
say there is no known antidote for it,.
Such poisoned arrow is the weapon OF
the tale-bearer-the arm of the SLAM
derer. There is at least a flash and a
report of warning or attack in a gun
shot. The flight of the arrow is silent
as the wing of the owl. The dagger
must find the heart of the victim. The
bullet must bury itself deep in the
flesh to hurt, to MAIN, to kill. The
poisoned shaft scratches the sl1in-an
irritant little pin mark that draws a
drop of blood-and the work of death is
done.
"That is the slanderer. That is the
silent, secret, devilish poison of the
tongue.
The Kiss That Kills
"The tale-bearer is an assassin. The
gossiper is a poisoner. A man can fight
an open foe against crushing odds. But
a poisoned arrow, sped by the hands of
a hidden coward, kisses his hand with
its venom.
"If there is one reptile in the den of
slanderers viler and more contemplate
than another, it is this human snake
that Kisses his envy and malice
through. an anonymous letter. If there
isn't a separate place in hell for this
viper it is an oversight. 1T is not fair
to thrust this thing into association
with such superior beings as Judas
Iseariot, Ananias and the devil. They
are bad enough, but they never did
ANYTHING for which they should be
condemned to spend eternity with the
scurrillous anonymous letter writer.
"These creatures should be compelled
to furnish their own birthstone and at
tend to their own furnaces. They
should be compelled to torment each
other and relieve the fiends of the pit
from that degradation. They should be
made to read their own letters and not
know from whom they came.
SIN a great measure all SANDER IS
ANONYMOUS. The common beginning OF
the tittle-tattle's story is, Now, don't
want my name mentioned in this mat
ter. Don't for the world say that 1

ACTOR ROBBED BY
PAIR OF HIGHWAYMEN
Thieves Become Enraged Because
Victim Has No Money and One
of Them Knocks Him
Down

James Pierce, a vaudeville actor, en-
pioyed at the Empire theater, was last
night held up and robbed by two men
at North Hill and Court streets, within
half block of his home.
Pierce was on his way from down
town and was stopped by the men,
whose description he could not give.
One of them kept him covered with a
revolver while the other searched him,
taking a watch chain and gold medal
worn as a charm.
Pierce had no money in his pocket
and because of this one of the robbers
struck him heavily in the face, knock
ing him down. Before he could recover
from the blow the men escaped.

INTERESTING TOPIC
DR.. Howard at Unity Church Tells of
the Respect in Which the
Law Was Held by the
Savior

Jesus and the Law was the topic
of Rev. Burt Estes Howard at the
Church of the Unity yesterday morn
ing.
DR.. Howard took his text from Mat
thew ", 17-1S: Think not that l came
to destroy the law or the prophets: l
came not to destroy, but to fulfill. For
verify L say unto you, till heaven and
earth pass away, one jot or one little
shall in no wise pass away from the
law, till all things be accomplished
He said in part;
"This positive and radical statement
of Jesus would seem rather hard to
reconcile with his frequent practice
in dealing with the Jewish law. Again
and again, with a superb assertion OF
authority, Jesus sets aside the old code
of ritual and of moral procedure. The
restrictions which had been placed
about the Sabbath he often boldly ig-
nores or transgresses as if they were
of no moment. Ceremonial obserVances,
rigidly insisted on by the conservative
element of his church, he treats with
calm .ndiffeI ence, or openly declares
20 be of little value in themselves.
"In fact Jesus uses the written law
or scriptures with a freedom and a
discrimination which places him at
once outside the narrow confines of
his church ana raises against him the
implacable ennity of the orthodox of
his age.
Defied Tradition
"He took his position with respect to
moral questions without reference to
dogma or dictum and he stood for what
appealed to his own reason and con-
science in distinct defiance to tradition
and the teaching of the scribes.
How could he make such a decla-
ration as this: I came not to destroy
the law or the prophets?' How could
he maintain the statement that till
heaven and earth pass, not one jot or
tittle of the law shall pass away till
all things are accomplished? The key
to the matter lies, like the key to most
difficulties, in the definition of the
terms. To HIM the law and the
prophets were not synonymous With
the scriptures. The revelation of di-
vine truth was not to be COMPOUNDED
with the human record of mans at
tempts TO state it, Truth was some
thing bigger and better than any con-
ception of it at any time.
ITO Jesus the world was filled with
God The birds of the air bore his
n -essage and the lilies of the field
SPELLED his gospels. The spirit of God
vas not shut up within the confines
Of Hebrew scroll, and the workings
of the Almighty were not reduced to
a system of philosophy or crystallized
into a code of ceremonial or moral pre-
cepts. This law, this underlying prin-
ciple on which the universe rested, was
the aw Jesus meant, when he said that
jot or little of it should not pass
away till it should be accomplished
what it had set out to do"

CLARENCE BARROW WILL
LEAVE LOS ANGELES TODAY

Clarence Darrow, the famous attor-
ney, whose name is known through
out the United States as the defender
of Meyer, Pettibone and Haywood in
their recent trial in connection with the
death of the late Governor Steunenberg
of Idaho, had intended to leave for the
east last evening, but Illness compelled
him to stay over until today, when, it
is said, he will return.
Mr.. Darrow's eloquence and compel
ling logic won for him the most notable
case in which labor and capital were
ever arrayed in opposition, and the
name which he won for himself in
that trial has made many anxious to
see him since his arrival here.

is shown in this gown of Athenian
blue wolfe. The waist is plain, except
for the picturesque bretelles and sleeve

buttons to the wide, draped girdle. The
sleeves may be made in full or shorter
length. The gathered skirt is formed
of a five-gored upper part, heightened
by a five-gored fiounce, tucks forming
the only decoration. The gown is not
difficult to make and is adapted to any
soft-draping material, while the body
portion might, if desired, be made of
alI-over lace, aA suggested in the
sketch. The medium size requires 1sa

m. N. Johnson is my candidate for
the United States senate" declared
Alex. Mckenzie to several people from
the northwest who visited St. Paul
this week. The statement was made
voluntarily by Mckenzie who discussed
hlDakota politics freely. Accord
ing to Mckenzie he did not lose in the
senatorial fight for he had two candi-
dates, c. B. Little and M. N. johnson.
Little fell by the wayside but johnson
landed a sufficient number Of votes to
put him on the ballot with Thomas F..
Marshall, who received the high vote.
1t has been pretty we'll understood
in North Dakota that Mckenzie backed
johnson in the recent primary election
wherever it appeared that Little would
not be acceptable but he has made no
public statements concerning the al
lance with the Petersburg man until
the one quoted above. During the
campaign recently closed it was appar-
ent in many sections Of the state that
Little and johnson were the choice of
Mckenzie. Orders were issued: "Sup-

Lady Club swingers Make Big Hit.

ment of July LIST at the Academy of
Music, was all that it promised and
more too. Cakes has reason to be
proud of its talented and beautiful"
young ladies. From the first entrance
Of the ladies in white dresses carrying
slender white wands, through the grace
ful evolutions of the march and drill
the large audience gave earnest atten-
ton and waited with eager expectancy
for each succeeding number. The
Indian club-drill was heartily encored.
The solos By Rev. Fulton and Mr..
Phillips were grearly enjoyed and they
were called back several times. The
Japanese number was unique and ex-
tremely pretty. The Colonial Minuet
was both stately and elegant, the
powdered hair, the long curl, the pretty
panie6 costumes, the graceful ladies all
combined with the perfect time to
make this beautiful number, and the
gentleman in the ''bald-headed row"
forgot to use their opera glasses and
stared with natural eyes at the natural
beauty of their own colonial danes.
'The Dream of Fair Women" was
beyond our power of description. Rev.
Ralph T. Fulton took his place as reader
and his full rich tones reached every
corner of the room. The curtain rose
on an ancient wood scene. On an i'm
provised throne amid flowers and beauty
rested Cleopatra. With soft music and
lights the beautiful women of ancient
Rome and Troy appeared as the dreamer
saw them. Never before has Oakes
seen anything so grandly beautiful.
Mrs. Waterman as a teacher is to be
congratulated. The readings by Miss
Emily Covert were a great addition to
