STAINLESS MAP DAY.

The executive committee Of the
Tennessee Anti-SAloon League re-
quests every pastor and preacher
iii the State, who can do SO, to
preach a sermon on temperance
next Sunday. "Let us make it
Stainless Map Day for Tennes-
see," says w. r. Hamilton, field
secretary and acting superintend-
ent of the league.
Mr.. Hamilton informs us that
the request is meeting with hearty
approval. In his letter-he says:
"A year ago we made an appeal
to the pastors of Tennessee to
preach temperance sermon on
Stainless Flag Day, Sunday, June
30. Prom the responses received, J,
we estimate that at least one thous-
and temperance sermons were de-
hvered that day, with the distribu-
tion of twelve to fifteen thousand
Stainless Flag Addresses. Who
can estimate the harvest from that
day ed-sowing by God sanoint-
ed? Has it not had much to do
with creating what is now almost
a unanimous sentiment on the part
of the pastors and churches of the
State for the final overthrow of the
liquor traffic in Tennessee.
"The executive committee Of the
Anti-Saloon League requests every
pastor and preacher in Tennessee,
who can do SO, to preach sermon
on temperance Sunday, June 81.
Let us make it Stainless Map Day
for Tennessee.
"Never before in the history of
the temperance movement in Ten
nessee has the issue been more
clearly drawn. Never before were
the Christian and temperance
forces of the State more united
and determined in their effort to
make 'Clean sweep of the liquor
traffic from Tennessee.
"But, on the other hand, never
before has the liquor power of this
State, backed by the NATIONAL
Liquor and Brewers Associations,
have been more thoroughly organ
ized and determined to check the
temperance wave now sweeping
through the South. 1t seems that
Tennessee has been chosen as the
battle ground. Will the good peo-
pie of the Volunteer State, with
her map SO nearly clean, allow the
army Of death, sorrow and woe
longer to camp on her soil, and
make our larger cities recruiting
stations for this nefarious traffic ?

the battle is the hord's. If every
Christian man and woman in the
State will do their duty, the vic
tory is sure. Let us make Sunday,

THE SPEAKING.

Monday by Senator Carmack and
Governor Patterson. The candi-
dates arrived here from Nashville
in the morning. Senator Carmack
had headquarters at the Melton
hotel and Governor Patterson at
the Lashlee hotel. Senator Car
mack's reception committee was
j. G. Davis, O. G. Hudson, L. w.
Barnes, B. A. Totty, j. L. Frazier
and DR.. j. B. Florence. Governor
Patterson's committee was DR. y.
q. Hudson, John A. Holland, Asa
Melton, j. FL. Hudson, John Bal
yew and w. M. Hicks.
There was. a large crowd in town,
all sections of the county being
represented as we'll as delegations
from the adjoining counties. Ye
scribe and Mr.. Wilson of the Ban
ner and Mr.. Clemens of the News
Scimitar "took in' the town just
before the speaking They esti-
mated the crowd at $500 to 1000
and the voters at $500. The red
showed majority, in their esti-
nation. A count of so voters as
they passed Bateman's store show
ed 81 red and another count at
Stigall &c Potts corner showed 27
red out of so.
The morning trains brought in
$50. Paris sent the largest dele
CATION. Most of these wore white
badges and were headed by Len
Jones, q former citizen of Camden
and in the crowd, which in the
main, was composed of good peo-
pie, were some of the rowdies who
did service at Mckenzie and who
turned the Paris debate into dis.
graceful "riot of hoodlumism."
They were recognized, however,
and City Marshal John Thomas
took prompt action. Several dep
uties were stationed among them,
and they we're told to abe good. .
Most of the Carroll County dele
cation wore white badges, IA of
them being Republican. Patter-
son badges were pinned on every
one, including Republicans, who
would wear them. The Carmack
badges, $500, gave out long before
the hour of speaking, and a large
number Of voters had no badges.
We can not give details of the
speeches, but before Mr.. Carmack
had proceeded far in stating the
propositions upon which he is
making his fight and the pledges
which he proposes to redeem for
Governor Patterson, who made
and then broke them, the crowd
was thoroughly with him.
Senator Carmack was presented
with flowers on behalf of the tenn
perance people and old soldiers of
Benton County by Misses Edith
Travis, Irene Fry, Ruth Corbitt
and AR.ie B. Combs.
AS usual during this campaign,
Governor Patterson soon convinc-
ed the crowd that he had earned
the title of "Artful Dodger." He
felt the pulse of INSTRUMENTATION
portion of his crowd and gave them
the kind of soothing syrup they
wanted, seeming to prefer their |
plaudits to any serious impression
which might be made on the re-
mainder of the audience with more
minds than lungs. AS for answer
ing the questions and charges of
Senator Carmack, there was GER

MASON CITY DISAPPOINTED.
No Hope for Larger Public Building,
and Work Will Begin Again.

SpeClal 10 nleS-ttepuDllcaIl.
Mason City, April THE hopes OF
Mason City for a larger public build
ing were dashed yesterday by the or
der from Washington received by the
superintendent of construction here
to recommence work on the building.
A tie-up has been on for the past
month. 1t was explained that the
work was halted SO that better quail
ity of material could be selected and
that some changes would be made for
a larger building.
1t is understood by the superintend
emit that new changes will be made.
and that the brick secured in the first
contract will be used instead of a bet
ter quality of pressed brick asked for
by Postmaster Kotchell. The latter
has been endeavoring to keep the mat
ter from the public, that al better OPP
portunity might be had to secure better
material, but 1t seems eastern papers
have been exploiting the fact of the
lroldup in building, and that there will
probably be no additional money al
lowed.

Des Moines, April 7.-Severe charges
against the State University of Iowa
probably will result in an investiga-
ton. Attacks upon the university on
the ground that it has been a hotbed
self along the lines of immortality, were
the features of a meeting of the Des
Moines Ministerial association.
Rev. Rowland Hanson and Rev.
Emory Miller discussed the state and
its alleged tendency away from Chris
tianity Said DR.. Hanson:
II recently returned from Ames,
where I attended meeting of the
leaders in the college Y. M. c. A. work,
and in a talk with some of the prom
inent men in this work was told that
Of all the state institutions of learn
ing and of all the UNCONVENTIONAL
schools they had visited the State
University of Iowa was distinguished
from all of chem by its immortality. I
believe the idea forwarded by DR..
Sykes Is an excellent one. We have in
Iowa in our church two small schools
struggling to live and probably both
of them ought to be dead We ought
to have one good, strong school. The
Y. NJ. c. A. leaders with whom
talked attributed the immortality OF
the university to the philosophical
%aa n; et,,
turned from the Christian teachings
by the subtleties of philosophical
thought"
Rev. Emory Miller said:
II have been in touch with the state
university to ii considerable extent and
am convinced that the trend away
from religious teachings is due to one
or two men who have prominent places
In the institution. I think they are
responsible for the fact that it has be-
come semi-infldel institution Some
years ago there were three men in the
faculty who were atheistic. Two of
them We're and one was nominally
Christian. He was member of that
radical wing of the church mem
toned here two weeks ago. which is
about the same as infidel. The presi-
dent of the institution at that time
was not a church member. There
was one man in some authority and
there finally was a rumpus which re-
suited in three able Christian gentle
men being dropped from the faculty"
Rev. Ely. supply of the Presby-
terian church, said THAT some years
ago there was considerable discussion
on account of a popularity of several
members of the university faculty
which promoted skepticism and that
the Presbyterian synod took the mat
ter up and adopted resolutions con-
denning that condition.
The discussion was occasioned by a /
paper on Religious Education" read
by Rev Thomas G. Sykes, who ad-
the idea that the denomination

located in the university cities. and |
should teach only such UNCONVENTIONAL
