CROWDED HOUSE
HEARS R|DDELL
SUBJECTIVE MAN OF THE FUTURE
Discourse Strong and Flo
uIent Carried Conviction to
All Who Heard 1t.

More than a thousand men gath
erred at the Methodist church Sunday
afternoon and for nearly two hours
SGT entranced as words of matchless
wisdom and eloquence poured fluent
H. from the lips of DR.. Newton n.
Riddell the famous Chautauqua lee
turer. His subject was "The New
Man or Knights of the Twentieth Cen
tury.' an address which has been
heard by over 100000 men through
out the land and which has done in
estimabe good for the uplifting of
mankind
The audience was probably the fin
est male gathering ever held in the
city, being made up of the young
men of the business and professional
life of this place
Dr.. Riddell, one of the brainiest
men that ever faced North Yakima
audience. in his predatory remarks
said that he was going TO give the
men a heart-to-heart talk. and his
words spoken as only Riddell can
speak, We're deeply imprinted upon
the mind of every man present.
Throughout there was hushed silence
as though the slightest movement
might result in word being lost.
At times he spoke rapidly, the shafts
of truth being driven home with en-
phasis. Riddell has a manner of
speech that is impressive and the
tone of his voice and the spirit of
his work that inspires him at all
times made his lecture one that will
live forever in the minds of his
hearers.

Prejudice Opposes Progress.

BY way of introduction he said ::
Honesty is a perquisite to wisdom.
Sincerity is essential TO understand
ing. Truth becomes error to dis
honest soul. Prejudice "a child of
ignorance IS ever the opponent OF
progress. A sunbeam that had tray
eled in direct line for ninety-three
million miles. in entering a home,
struck a flaw in a window pane and
fell obliquely on the floor. A truth
that has travelled in straight line
for centuries. coming direct from the
eternal throne of God, may be de-
Elected by prejudices in mans mind
and fall as error on his soul Men,
let MS be honest, Let us be sincere,
Let us lay aside our prejudice that
the truth may come I'M"

Committee Leaves Spokane With
Startling Evidence on the
Judge.

SPOKANE, Dec 3.-Carrying
with them some of the original docu-
ments and many authenticated copies
of others which show the relations
between Attorney Gordon of the
Great Northern railroad and Judge
Milo A. Root of the state supreme
court. the members of the investigat-
ing committee of the state bar asso-
citation departed yesterday afternoon
for Seattle. While the committee
did not procure possession of or even
get to see all of the documents which
it came to Spokane in search of, it
did procure enough of them to es-
tablish the astonishing fact that At
torney Gordon and not Judge Root
was the author of the decision in the
case of w. H. Harris versus the Great
Northern Railway company and that
Judge Root, in presenting the decis-
ion for filing as the opinion of the
court, acted as the tool of Attorney
Gordon.
What Letters Contain.
According to information given to
the committee these letters include
a number of unsigned notes written
in the handwriting of Judge Root
and referring 10 court decisions and
the transmission of sums of money.
Friends of Judge Root explain away
these notes referring to the payment
of money by saying that they referred
to contribution OF s300 that Cor
I don promised to make TO Judge
Roots campaign fer reelection out
of fund which was being raised by
him for that purpose.

A New Church Auxiliary.

The Macon Telegraph
'tEnterprising pastors are continually studying
what they can do to popularize the church and
make church membership and church attendance
more attractive. With the increase in the diver
sty of worldly attractions the time has come
when the old fashioned way Of securing church at
tendance is no longer sufficient Merely to hear
sermon drawn out thro three quarters OF an hour
to sixty minutes, with q psalm st the beglnnlngand
ending is considered too dry and unnterestlngto
the people And so enterprsing churches and
pastors have added other features to help in MAX

HAll churches have Sunday Schools various
young peoples societies and other auXllarles, ana
new ones are constantly being added But it has
remained for the pastor OF Christ Presbyterian
church at Chicago to add feature which is the

which may surpass his most sanguine expectations

''Whether the pastor is right or wrong is not

''The young people of that class who are senti

sTruth crushed to earth will rise again
Don't forget it.

Rev. Len G. Broughton preached an excellent
sermon in Atlanta last Sunday, as we find 1T IN
Mondays Constitution. His text was "Ihe First
Murder Here is an excerpt from it:
''But want us to see also that the taking of
human life in the way that Cain took the life of
his brother, is not the only murder that enc may
be guilty Of There is the murder that comes
from greed and gouge. Laborers, men and women
are often forced to feed the greedy Golfers of heart
less and avaricious employers by serving them on
starvation wages. Look at the many girls in our
great cities working for twenty-five to fifty cents
per day. God alone knows how many helpless
woman has to live and support her children on
wages like that
tLook at the girls who work in big dress
making establishments How many Of these poor
girls have to work for from $500 to 81. 80 per
week and board themselves. What are they
doing! They are working upon the fine gowns Of
rich women, many of them to be worn in the bac
chanalian feasts of society. ! tell you, believe
that in the day of final judgment many stitch in
these fine gowns, like the ground upon which
Abel was slain will cry out against these hand
somely gowned women on account of the girl who
made them on starvation wages"

Older Than United States

There is a negro in New York
one William Brooks Mason; who
claims to be older than the United
States of America. He gives his age
as 1873. That means that he was six
wears old when the Declaration OF
Independence was signed; that he
was seventeen when the Constltu-
tion was adopted; that he was tor
ty-two when we went to war with
England in 1912; that he was
scyenty-six when we set out to
conquer al empire from Mexico;
that he was ninety-one when the
war for secession began; and that
he was 12S when feeble Spain's
colonial possessions were wiped OIL

And yet they gay old darkey is
chasing around after young wife
of thirty years who recently fled
from HIM to South Carolina. He
took his complaint and the story
of his age to the Hundred and
Twenty-sixth street police station.

remarked the lieutenant at the
desk of the station house. "But |

that he was minister. "
Such faith in the cloth is in

are many old negroes whose births
were not recorded in slavery days,
who do not know how old they
are, and in their ignorance, are
inclined toward romancing that

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

From the Atlanta Journal
There are several thousand people in Georgia
today, temporarily endorsed by the will of the
majority who will turn with the sunniest of
smiles to their successful adversarieS as soon as
they have finished rubbing their astonished eyes,
and extend the right hand of fellowship.
The world loves good loser and so far as it
is possible to win victory from defeat, those who
have been overcome will summon good nature and
calm philosophy from temporary reverses and face
the future as hopefully and as confidently as those
who wear the laurels of the victor.
We are frank to say that we thought differ,
emily of the people, but it is the voice of the
people which has spoken, the people are sovereign,
and t'the king can do no wrong" The meaning
of the maxim itself is that the king is immune be
cause the responsibility rests with his minister's
and we are inclined to the opinion that the min
listers of the sovereign in this instance have COM
mitted a grave mistake. At the same time the

1.-THE man worth while
Is the man who can smile
When everything goes dead wrong.

When everything goes dead wrong"
''The latest reports from the ambulance corps
would indicate that the defeat was not a disor-
dered rout for it was, according to all probability,
the closest contest the state of Georgia has ever
seen. When counties waver in the balance for
hours and give majority of one or ten or fifty, it
can hardly be successfully maintained that the
victor is entitled to a Roman triumph. At the
same time it was victory, and the successful
contestants shall have all the tribute they could
ask, except our tears.
s9The people paid high tribute to themselves
in passing through as campaign as the one
which has just closed without single personal
collision, so far as we are aware. Public interest
was wrought up to the highest pitch and there
was an undercurrent of apprehension that some
where there might be lingering blot to mar the
peacefulness of the day which is to so down in
history as one of the most exciting in the annals
of the state But the partsans on each side were
self contained while the conflict lasted and now
that it is over the victors not unduly exalted
nor the vanquished too abjectlycast down.
ssWe have turned our face to the sunrise and
all those who fought with us have done the same
thing The procession of the seasons will continue
in the accustomed course; the sun and the rain
will visit the just and the unjust alike and the
Whirligig of time will continue to spring unex-
pected surprises Oh those who are most confident.
rive shall look with confidence to the future
and give our best energies to the best interests of
