REV. t. w. JEFFREY.
living thing. Eits feet were always
ness his hands We're always love
to DO good. But one aspect Of his
ministry was regarded, and is still
regarded. as Of supreme interest, the
cross, as proceeded by the incarnation,
and as followed by the resurrection
Remove the cross from his ministry
and you have levelled it all to the
ministry of a Galiiean peasant, who
fell at last upon a miserable death.
But here is the outstanding fact Of
all history. Here is the
worlds tragedy. The death of Jesus
was Xix that of many others. Between
the time of PLATE and the time of
titus thirty thousand Jews were cru
cited around the walls of Jerusalem,
many being brave, conscientious
heroic men. Around the crosses were
witnessed many pathetic scenes. Moth
ers. wives and children wept in Won
dering and helpless despair. But these
thirty thousand tragedies have faded
from the memory Of man. These thirty
across the pages of history. The
shadow of n cross lensthens with
the years. Its story grows in wildness
power as the years roll on, trans
forming the world by it's pathos. While
thirty thousand crosses have dtsap-
peared from the horizon. this one cross
STANDS out clear and terrible against
tn eastern sky.
What are the facts! A young man,
sad of face and lonely of heart, went
up and down an isolate province of
the Roman empire preaching his views
when were a~ntagonlstic to the
teachlnS practices of his day. He
was arrested n taken before the
proNlnclai governors VINO scorned him
as a olsot n a fanatic. h procura-
Tor was ver.nersuaded and unwill-
laely ana against ms better Judgment

smote him who kept the door open
FOR the prodigal and would not begin

back. Before the sun sets, the palor
OF death sweeps over his features and

Harry CriCk Admits to

Newark Letter.
CONFRONTED BY EVIDENCE,
READILY ADMITS GUILT
Clerk Says He Had Been LoOting
P0st0ffice for Six
Months.
FAMILY FOUND In
POVERTY-STRICKEN HOME
Arrested Man Native OF Harri-
son and Government Employee
for Three Years.

Caught in the act of robbng the
United States mail, Harry Crick. q
mail clerk in the Newark postoffice.
living at rs Peshine avenue, was ar
rested in the early morning hours to-
day in the postoffice building by In
spectors Enterman, of Jersey City, and
Holtby, of Philadelphia. Confronted by
undeniahle evidence of his guilt, Criek
confessed, the authorities say, to q
systematic filchng of money from the
mail which has passed through his
hands as a distributor in the Newark
office during the past six months.
Crick's arrest was dramatic. For the
past half-year Postmaster James L.
Hays and his assistants have been
vainly looking for some thief in the
Newark department who had been
opening letters containing money and
doing away with both money and let
ters. A large number of cases of this
sort were steadily reported to the post
master, who In turn reported them to
Local Inspector G. ~ Enterman, OF
Jersey City, Inspector J. V. Hobby
was also detailed from Philadelphia by
Chief Inspector Cortelyou to work on
the case.
Soon the inspectors began to suspect
Crick, as all the complaints that came
from people TO whom money had been
sent in the mail which had never
reached it's destination lived in the dis
trct for which Crick sorted. Holtby
and Enterman prepared q ruse by
which they expected to trap Crick in
the act. Yesterday they sent three let
ters containing money to addresses in
Cricls asserting district and then
waited developments.
Called Before Inspectors.
Shortly after midnight, when Cricll
had almost finished his work for the
night, he was called into the presence
of the inspectors.
what have yo.. been doing tonight?'
sternly demanded Enterman. why did
you open those three letters?"
Faced by proof and taken aback by
the suddenness of the charges, Crick
broke completely down. He confessed,
1t is stated by the police, to having
been making practise of opening all
the letters that passed through his
hands which felt as though they con-
tained money. Just how much he had
got In this manner could not be de-
termined, as the money had been taken
in small amounts. Cricls begged the in-
spectors for mercy. He told them of

Interest in the proceedings OF the Re-
publican national convention was at the
lowest stage ever witnessed in this city on
the day that Presidential candidate was
named Early in the day there we're crowds
around the bulletin boards, but when news
came that the convention had fathered an
nti-injunction plank, though in a mild
form, there was thinning out OF people and
for the remainder Of the day the bulletins
appeared to attract no interest save from
members Of organized labor. and a very few
of these seemed to be greatly pleased.
The few business men who expressed
themselves on the subject declared that the
Republicans had made great mistake and
the only hope in carrying the country lay
in the Democrats at Denver trying to sur
pass the Republicans in bending the neck to
organized labor, thus solidifying the busi-
ness element in the support Of the lesser Of
two evils.

ences. Ths trend Of the Democracy 10 to-
ward Socialism, while the Republican party
stands for wise and regulated individual
ism. Socialism would destroy wealth,
Repub lioenisn would prevent It's abuse.
Socialism would give to each an equal right
TO take: Republicanism would give 10 each
an equal righnto earn. Sooiallsmiwould offer
an equality ofpossession which would soon
leave no one anything TO possess; Republi-
caniem would give equality OF opportunity
which would assure to each his share
OF constantly increasing sum
OF possessions. In line with this tendency
the Democratic party OF to-day believes
In government Ownership. while the Repub-
ican party believes In government regu-
iation. Ultimately Democracy would have
the nation own the people. while Repub-
hcanism would have tho people own the
nation.
Upon this platform Of principles and
purposes. resfflrming our adherence TO
every Republican doctrine proclaimed since
the birth Of the party. we 20 before tho
