AT CENTRAL UNION MISSION.
Addresses by Representative Lloyd
and Smith on Life Of Christ.


There was large audience present
last night at the Central Union Mission
when Representative James T. Lloyd
! and Madison r. Smith, both of Missouri
delivered addresses. Mr.. Lloyd elo-
quently recited the story Of Christ's
public life, choosing the salient fea-
lures. Christ's retreat of forty Gays in
| the desert. how He was tempted three
times and each time banished the wiles
| of the devil were detailed by Mr.. Lloyd.
/ why, then" said he Cannot we NOR
| tails who take Christ as our model in
| life initiate Him by driving from our
minds the temptations of the evil one,
| You can do this if you try.
Christ suffered all His Affections to
| redeem man: therefore He is our hope.
And our hope when we are depressed is
to look heavenward and implore the
aid of the Savior.
1T is easy to get into sin, but it is a
very difficult matter to get out of it,
continued the speaker Our habits en-
snare us and drag us down to the low
est depths. When man is sunken in re-
morse and respondent because he
thinks all have forgotten him, then is
the time to give a thought to God.
There is but one way to control our
selves" added Mr.. Lloyd. That is to
get in harmony with the spirit of
heart the sins which have pursued him
soon depart"
Mr.. Lloyd then narrated briefly the in
cidents which led up to the crucitixion.
death and resurrection Of Christ, de-
scribing impressively the agonies He
suffered for the redemption of mankind.
In concluding. Mr.. Lloyd said:
No matter what station a man may
occupy in this world, Christ has shown
by His acts that we may ask lnterces-
sion through Him. Let us then implore
His aid. not only in adversely, but in
times of happiness, to make US live In
His footsteps. and when death comes
to have His spirit with US"
Representative Smith who spoke after
his colleague. gave assurance of the
benefits derived by leading a Christian
life Mr.. Smith said:
There was a time when ! doubted
whether such a man as Christ existed.
l have since learned. to my great pleas
ure. that Christ does exist and that He
lived, suffered and died in order that we
might enjoy eternal happiness. l believe
in Christ, and 1 am glad to be Chris
tian.' added the representative.
The day will come he said, "and it
is not far distant when the world will
realize that Christ was a soclaI re-
former. When He came upon this earth
He mingled with all classes. His dis
ciples were not kings or prominent men,
They were poor fishermen.
Wherefore. | say, the world and the
laboring people as a class will realize
that Christ was the best friend tie poor
man has ever had upon this earth.'

Injunction Refused,

The Salvation Army was last week for
hidden by Judge Newburger of New York
from getting injunction against the
American Salvation Army. These two
evangelistic organizations have been at
odds for several years. The recent court
proceeding was brought about by the ac-
ton of the older body. which sued the
American Salvation Army for using a
name similar to theirs. wearing uniforms
not unlike those OF the Salvation Army
officers, and issuing publication Of the
same name and style as that used by the
older society.
The American Salvation Army was or
gslnized in this country in 1895 by Gen.
Moore who came here from England.

ShaW's Manners Unpopular in
the Metropolis.
REGARDED AS FLlPPANT
His Political Efforts Looked Upon
With Disapproval.
WORK ON HIS AUTOBIOGRAPHY
Opposition Of Directors Of the Trust
Company Of Which he Is
the Head.
BY WILLIAM F.. CURTIS.

Special Correspondence Of The Star and the
!. Chicago Record Herald.
NEW YORK. January "a 1908.
/ have asked a number of well-informed
financiers what is the matter with shaw
our esteemed friend from Iowa. Leslie
NJ Shaw. And with one accord they
say that he is a misfit in New York
and that is the reason he resigns a dis
tinguished and influential position In
financial circles and a salary of S36.opo
year. He realizes that he has not
been successful: he has quarreled with
the controlling interests of the Carnegie
Trust Company but they have dissented
to his political aspirations. and. as you
already know he has resigned to take
effect on the LIST of March.
When Mr.. Shaw left the Treasury De-
partment at Washington he was elected
president of a newly organized trust
company named In honor Of Andrew
Carnegie. Although that gentleman has
had no financial interest in the institution
and did not subscribe to a share of the
stock it is generally understood that the
promoters expected or at least desired
him to do so. There is a story floating
around the street, which may or may
not be true. that when the ghost dance
broke out in New York in November
and all the bankers began to fortify and
fill their magazines with ammunition the
directors Of the Carnegie Trust Com
pany went to the man their bank was
named for to ask for help. But they
could not find him. His secretary told
them that he was on the ocean. They
sent him a wireless cablegram which !
am told was effective in securing from
Mr. Carnegle's secretary a bunch OF
gilt-edged securities that were held In
reserve in the vaults of the bank in case
it became necessary to use them. This
was done by Mr.. Carnegie for senti-
mental rather than business reasons. No
body would want baby that was named

That our American forests
abound in plants which possess
the most valuable medicinal vir-
tues is aDundantly attested by
scores of the most eminent .medi-
cal writer's and teachers of this
and other countries. Even the un-
tutored Indians had discovered
the usefulness of many native
plants before the advent of the
white race. This information. i'm
parted freely to the whites. led the
latter to continue Investigations,
until today we have rich assort-
ment of most valuable American
medicinal roots.

CONSCIENCE

C INCE Saul was also found among
- the prophets there has been no
~ greater surprise than the discoV-
ery that railroad directors of Indi-
ana, for conscience sake, are willing
to throw a company into the hands OF
a receiver. Sunday trains were aban-
doned because the directors did not
believe in running trains on Sunday
They had an ofd-fashioned notion
about an absolute cessation of activ-
tiles on Sunday.
For two years Sunday was kept
strictly after the manner OF the
straitest sect of the old-time Presby-
terians. Net a wheel turned. But the
plan was not successful. The earn
ings of the road fell off. Now the
stockholders have been brought to
view the matter in modern manner.
They have ceased to believe it is pious
to inconvenience a large portion of the
public, from whom they derive their
franchise. Neighborship and religion
are akin. There can be no religion
without neighborship. The directors
are obstinate. They think Sunday OBJ
servance is more important than earn
ings. The stockholders and the pat
rons of the road are equally obstinate
Result, receivership.

"What a. wonderful state you surely

YOU haven't more than used crooked

do anything at all. What you viii

Some of them may have escaped the
eyes of the men here all the time, ana
so you will pardon me If I say that
what you need first of all, in my opin-
ion, is more immigration. You need
farmers and hundreds of them to go
on your magnificent lands. Today, for
example, visited wonderful vine

ing was growing crop of weeds. NOW
this is not right. Every acre of your
fertile state must be made to yield its
riches. The fine land that saw today
growing in weeds was simply awaiting

of water there and good railroad facil-
ities. There are thousands of acres
like this in the state"
OF course there are, and there are
plenty of men willing to occupy them
If they think they will get square

But many settlers are already in rebel

~ ONE amusement of a half resent
- full sort is expressed at the east,
NJ where the Hartman genius has
been more closely studied than in the
west, at the railroad magnate's new
and unexpected philanthropy, as ex-
pounded by himself in the case of the
unfortunate Mr.. Gould. When Mr..
Hartman, in the course of his royal
progress across the continent, was
asked TO explain his motives and pur-
pose in coming to George Goulds as
sistance and his gallant rescue or the
Wheeling & Lake Erie road from the
gaping Jaws of receiver ne SAID TO
the reporters
"I don't do these things to make
money, but merely to relieve the stu
alton. AS far as my participation was
concerned it was only that or any one
who wishes to help out In a crisis.
This is magnificent, and 1t Is not war,
but the audible sign of an era OF good
feeling, says the San Francisco Call'
In our unsophisticated western way
some of us had suspected that When
Mr.. Hartman uttered these tine sentl-
ments he chiefly designed to Jolly
the reporters, and we let 1t go at that;
but the New York World takes 1t IN
almost sardonic temper, like this:
"rhis was philanthropy of the hlgn-
est order. Mr.. Hartman, surfelteo
with the acquisition of railroad prop
critics, is now experiencing the deeper
pleasure of helping less fortunate COM
petitors on to success. He has become
a Father Bountiful of finance, extend-
ing aid to INDECENT and deserving rail-

roads with only the reservation that he
be allowed to run them and safeguard
them from men actuated by less dis
interested motives.
"It is a pleasing picture of great
talents for organization and operation
diverted from private gain and devoted
to the service of the public-to the benz
eft of the country which Mr.. Harri-
man wants to see the greatest on
earth and which he intends to help
make SUCH Mr.. Carnegie and Mr..
Rockefeller are seen to be only in the
elementary class of philanthropists."
Then the New York Journal or COM
merce proceeds to scold Mr.. Hartman
In this vein:
why cannot our leading financiers
be content to admit that they do Things
simply through legitimate business mo-
tives? Why always prate about dls-
interested, altruistic ambitions? Mr.
Hartman has rather spoiled his latest
coup by seeking to clothe it in phil
anthropic garb.'
Mr.. Hartman is his brothers keeper.
Is there a railroad magnate in dis
tress? Mr.. Hartman has the helping
hand ever ready to be stretched forth,
and what that member once encom-
passes 1t never let's go.
1t is a real romance, in which virtue
creates its own reward and then turns
on the limelight. We hope that Mr..
Hartman may live long, and we know
that he will prosper. Good people are
scarce and to him that hath more shall
be given. If there is anything else that
| he wants let him ask for it.

PARADOXICAL

I" e HOPE it will be clear to Presi-
w dent Roosevelt and the Republi-
w can presidential candidate that
the name of Mr.. Taft was borrowed by
the machine bosses of Southern Cali
fernia. merely as an offset to the names
of the great Republican presidents
adopted by free Republicans.
II it can be proved that the machine
obtained the consent of Mr.. Taft to use
his name this will prove also that Mr..
Taft is opposed to the Roosevelt poll
cies. But Mr.. Taft has already said
that in spite of the platform Of the
national Republican machine he be-
Iieves in the Roosevelt policies. Mr..
Taft therefore finds himself In some
what paradoxical-sounding position. He
is not a "Taft Republican" but a Lin
coin-Roosevelt Lacquer. And how can
President Roosevelt approve what the
self-styled regulars, the machine Re-
pubIicans, claim is the regular Taft
wing of the party?
II Taft is an inheritor Of the Roose-
welt politicies he is opposed to the ma
chine and to all political machines, and
must necessarily be against bossism
and corporation alliances. Therefore
Taft is a Lincoln Roosevelt league
man and opposed to the Taft Republi'
cans Of California.
