GOSPEL Truth the instrument or itc'
yiyaI

The great historian Lccky has, in
q noteworthy passage in his FAMOUS
"Eistory of England in the Eight
eenth Century" declared that the
secret OF success of Methodism was
merely that it satisfied some or the
strongest and most enduring wants
of our nature, which found no graft
ficaticn in the popular THEOLOGY; that
il revived Il large class OF religious
doctrines which had long been al
most wholly neglected. The utter de-
pravitv of human nature, the lost
condition of every man who is born
into the world, the vicarious atone
ment Of Christ. the necessity to sal
walton of new birth, of faith, or the
constant and sustaining action OF the
Divine Spirit upon the believer $
soul are doctrines which in the eyes
of the modern evangelist constitute
the most vital and the most inliu-
cntial portions Of Christianity. but
thev are doctrines which durin,F the
greater part of the eighteenth cen
fury were seldom heard from a
Church of England pulpit
Every student of the period knows
that the wide and simple preaching
of these doctrines of vital personal
religion developed that nobler lie
which saved England from decay

In order to keep the home neat

.vuorcester Mass. June 1S.-Associate Justice David J. Brewer of the unlecd States supreme court, in an address at Clark college commencement here today, declared that the restraining power of the court of equity should be enlargei and not diminished, and that to restrict this power of the court is step back ward toward barbarism.'
 Justice Brewer said
 The injunction has become political question and topic of heated denuncia- ton. There never was a time in the his tory of the nation when the full restrair- ing power of the equity court was of so much importance to the nation. As the population becomes more and more dense and activities increase the restraining power of the equity court is worth vastly more than the punshing power Of the criminal court. It is in line with the high est thought of the day. We aim to stay the epidemic and not to cure the rav- ages of the disease after 1t has gained headway. We strive to stamp out vice in the slums not by driving out the resi- dents but by letting in light and air and the comforts of civilization. To restrict the restraining power of the court is a step backward toward barbarism instead of step forward to higher civilization. Courts make mistakes in the granting of intunctions; so do they in other judicial action. I know that labor organizations
 are specially energetic in claiming tn

Convention At Chicago Becomes BOistHrous Over Roosevelt
 Rt Not Taft
MACHINE-MADE PLAN IS
 CARRIED OUT PERFECTLY
Chic Man Receives Over 700 Votes On First Ballot and Other Cand- dates Do Not Even Have
 Look In.

s-nYcago. June 1S.-(Special With 15,000 spectators grooming and hissing and 7O2 delegates cheering themselves hoarse, the republican national convention today nominated William H. Taft for President of the United States
 The convention met at 10 o'clock this morning and Taft was nominated seven hours later. From first to last it was a Roosevelt demonstration. When Ohio was called for it's nomination the Taft men gave the signal and the delegates paraded through the hall. Two immense portraits of Secretary Taft were pro- duced by Ohio delegates. Several state delegations stood on chairs and yelled. A little girl was hoisted on a delegate shoulder and waved Taft flag The delegates yelled but the spectators sat in silence But one made his speech placing Taft in nomination.
 The delegates again paraded around. Then there were more speeches seconding the nomination. Frank Hanly of Indiana made long talk for Fairbanks. He was jeered off the presiding officers stand. When these preliminaries had been ac- complished Chairman Lodge announced that the vote would be taken. Suddenly there was an uproar extending from one end to the other of the coliseum. On the south end man made his appearance waving Autograph of Theodore Roose- velt
 Teddy Teddyl Give us Teddyi'
 The huge assembly caught up the cry. Delegates were pelted with paper balls from the galleries and shrieked at the occupants.
 Clear the galleries shouted the dele gates io Chairman Lodge Lodge. brought his gavel down on the presiding officers desk. It could not be heard 20 feet off. The Roosevelt enthusiasm was in full swing. For nearly hour it kept up then was a brief pause.
 "rhe secretary will call for the vote of the state of Alabama" announced Chair man Lodge.
 Alabama casts it's g votes for Taft, came from J. o. Thompson, the collector of internal revenue at Birmingham and the spokesman of the delegation.
 It was all over then and there Taft was good as nominated. There was not break in the machine. Three unin- structed delegates from Pennsylvania voted for Roosevelt. Good boy! Good; that's what we want came from the gallery. There were more cheers for Roosevelt.
 The machine resumed it's work. Wyo- ming was called voted for Taft, and the secretaries proceeded to foot up the total and Chairman Lodge announced Taft nominated. The delegates cheered Justify enough, but the people in the gal leries proceeded to get out of the con vention hall by the nearest exits.
 There was never at a national conven- tion less enthusiasm for a winning candi- date than that manifested towards Taft. Probably no man ever had occasion to be the recipient of the sincere. spon- taneous expression of indorsement &C., corded to Roosevelt by the voters of his party-the man in the gallery.
 You walk through the corridors of the hotels tonight and you hear mighty lit- tie of the Taft candidacy. It has fallen flat. W. s.

One of the bullets struck Lawless in the hand and another lodge l in the elbow of tlfs negro woman, who was standing at the intersection of Main and Adams streets, about 100 yards dis tant
 Then followed the attempt of Wylie to escape along several blocks of the princi- pal thoroughfare of the city, Lawless and several officers who came to his assist ance on one side exchanging shots with the man as they ran. On Main near Court avenue Lloyd fell. fatally wounded.
 The case continued until the center of Court Square, another block distant, was reached, where Wylie, exhausted from the loss of blood from several wounds, sur rendered to a cordon of policemen who surrounded him. He was removed to a hospital, where but little hope is enter tained for his recovery.

the power of the injunction Is used main- ly against them. Of course this is not true. Injunctions are granted against all sorts of persons and organizations every day in the year. Look at the acts of vio- lence and strife which have been checked or prevented by this restraining power. It does not follow that the power ought to be used against capital and corpora tions and not against labor. The restrain ing power of the court of equity should be enlarged and not demolished, and the judiciary improved until all people would be assured that the power Is only used when necessity requires and the restraint imposed only when justice demands

VOTE MADE UNANIMOUS. Taft Is Chosen For President By Over
 wheImng Majority.

Chicago, June 1S.-For President of the United States, William H. Taft of Ohio.
 Taft on the first ballot-Taft by 7O2 votes Taft by the unanimous choice of the convention.
 Such is the record of the eliminating day of the republican convention of 1908, effected amid scenes of tumultuous en- thusiasm. and after nerve-racking, con- tinuous session lasting nearly eight hours. With President named and platform enunciated. there remains only the nomi- nation of the vice president to complete this momentous work. Tonight the whole city is given over to wild exultator Tn honor of the new candidate, whose name goes echoing through the country.
 The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheatre as the presidential cand'- date was named today was one truly grandioz in its magnitude. In front, to the right and left below and above the billowing sea of humanity, restless after hours of waiting and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a ferver of expectancy for the eliminating vote. The favorite sons of other states had been named save Knox and Lafollette, and now on the roll call came Ohio. As the Buckeye state was reached. the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton with student-like face and severe black cler- ical garb, advanced to the platform 10 nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke fer vently with the ringing voice of an evan gelist. which went through the great building. The close of his speech of nom- ination was the signal for loosng the long pent-up feeling of the Taft leglons. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet other Taft states following, while the convention hosts in gallery and on floor broke into mad demonstration.
 Chicago Breaks Out.
 "Taft. Taft-w.S H. Taft" came in a roar. from the Chicagoans.
 Megaphones seemed to spring from concealed places apd swell the Taft tu- mutt into thunder. A huge blue silk banner bearing the familiar features of the statesman-secretary was swung be- fore the delegates, awakening fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm. All semblance of order had been abandoned and the dnl- egates' arena was maelstrom. of ges-
