Root called it ga temple dedicated to
inte national friendship YVES laid at

the portion of his speech relating to
that subject was reached, that he was
glad to hear them applaud the battle

in keeping in such trim that it shall be

Staff Captain Trevet of the Salvation
Army preached a sermon Sunday evening
at Pittsburg, standing in the coffin in
which he expects to be buried and robed
in the clothes of the grave. Prior to the
sermon, the coffin was carried through
the streets at the head of the Salvation
Army band on the shoulders of four of
the members of the Army, who constitut-
ed the pall-bearers, while the Army band
walled out funeral dirges and the women
of the Army sobbed as though they had
lost their best friend. When the bar
racks was reached, there was almost a
riot among the hundreds who wanted to
get in. Capt. Trevet's sermon was on
the subject, "After Death, What ?' He
admitted that he had adopted the unique
display merely to attract people to hear
the sermon.
!. The same evening, 500 men packed the
new Mems church at Atlantic City, N.
j., and puffed cigars and pipes furnished
by the Rev. Sydney Goodman during the
sermon, which was sandwiched between
a special entertainment, also provided by
the pastor of new ideas. Moving pic
lures, stereopticon views illustrating the
parallels, and singing by professionals
who volunteered from beach front cafes
and theatres, made up the remain
der of the program.

The murder roll of Mrs. Bella Guinness
has increased to ten, ceffainly, with a
strong probability of more.~ This is one
of the most gruesome cases ofreeent years.
The Guinness home, one mile from La
porte, Ind, was burned and in the ashes
were found the remains of aSssoman, sup
posed, but not proved, to be Mrs. GUM
ness, and of her three children. A man
named Ray Lamphere, who had lived
with her, was arrested, charged with hav-
ing killed the woman and her children
and set fire to the house to hide his
crime. Then by accident private bury
ing ground was found in the dooryard,
and from this the disnembered remains
of ten persons, mostly men, have been re-
moved. Some of these have been identi-
fed as inmates of the Guinness home at
different times. 1t has developed that
Mrs. Guinness, who was a widow, had a
scheme by which she advertised in ma
trimonial paper, requiring those who
came to marry her to put at least $1,000
into her possession, as guaranty Of good
faith. Then they disappeared. The
house had secret rooms and vaults. 1t is
claimed that Lamphere assisted the wo-
man in her crimes, that they quarreled
and that he wiped her out and her chill
dren. 1t is not considered certain that
Mrs. Guinness is the victim of the last
tragedy, but may have escaped, and sus-
poets have been arrested in various places,
but without avail. .s

WHAT is DOING
THE WORLD OVER
A WORD ABOUT THE LEADING
EVENTS or THE WEEK.
Political Doinss Of the Week.

Political Doings Of the Week.
There is an effort afoot among leading
Republicans at Washington to insure har-
mony in the party during the coming
campaign, and conferences to bring it
about have been held. Leaders of the
various elements and supporters of the
several candidates for the presidential
nomination are getting together, and the
basis OF their plan is the probable nomin-
alton of Taft on the first ballot. If he is
to be named, it is thought better that it
should come at once thsn after a contest.
Then there is fear that such contest
might lead to a stampede to Roosevelt.
1t is strongly desired TO hold control OF
the House, which might be imperilled
easily. Consolation prizes for the other
candidates might be a denomination to
the vice presidency for Fairbanks, the
speakership again for Cannon, while
Hughes is wanted for another term as
governor of New York.
Governor johnson easily secures the
Democratic delegates from his own state,
Minnesota.
Kentucky disappoints Fairbanks by
throwing nearly all of her votes for Taft.
Taft also has Louisiana.
Republican primaries in Texas and
other states of the Southwest show a
strong popular vote for Roosevelt.
Governor Hughes has announced that
he will not under any circumstances ac-
cept the vice presidency.
Ten of Connecticut's Republican dele
gates are instructed for Taft. The two
senators were left off the delegation be-
cause of their opposition to Taft.
Ohio Democrats instructed for Bryan.
Judge Harmon was nominated for COVER
nor over Tom Johnson's candidate.
George Fred Williams controlled the
Massachusetts Democratic state conven-
tion, which instructed for Bryan.

BRYAN CAN DO NO HARM"
A Frequent Statement That Will Not
Bear Analysis.


The apologize Democrat who wants
to remain regular and who has swal-
lowed Organism takes care to repeat
as often as he is accused of inconsist-
ency that Mr.. Bryan can do no harm
even if he is elected. 1t is time that
this statement was met and smashed
Mr.. Bryan if elected could and would
do a great deal of harm in so many
ways that it is almost impossible to
enumerate them. In the first place. he
would have an opportunity during his
term to pack the supreme court and
no one doubts that he would so pack
it that the confidence of the American
people in its greatest institution would
be lost or severely shattered.
Mr.. Bryan would appoint a cabinet
from his friends and not from his enc
mics, and i must be admitted that the
best men in the Democratic party are
not close friends of Mr.. Bryan. He
would appoint judges and district at
torneyS throughout the country who
would carry out his designs as far as
possible. but the greatest harm of all
that could come upon the people
through the election of Mr.. Bryan
would be the loss of confidence in bust
ness circles and the probable stagna-
ton that would come over the country
and remain for four years at least.
There is no measuring this blight
that would come to our nation through
the election of William j. Bryan We
endured it from 1898 to 1896 under a
Democratic president of far sounder
views and much more stable Charac-
ter than the present Democratic candi-
date for president Mr. Bryan as
weather vane would be a great sue
cess. but rs a president he would not
only be a failure, but failures would
come to every American institution
and every American Industrial center.
