Sunday Extends invitations at Taber-
nacle Meeting Saturday Afternoon.
Any apprehension that any one may
have had regarding tangible results
Of the evangelistic campaign, in the
matter of converts, was quickly all
layed at the close Of Mr.. Sundays SER
mon Saturday afternoon to young peo-
pie, when 143 persons responded to the
first invitation given during the series
Of meetings in the tabernacle, and that
many signed cards pledging themselves
to henceforth lead christian life.
Nearly all the converts were children,
Of various ages, but among the num-
Der were several adults.
Mr.. Sunday did not preach a regular
sermon, but delivered a plain, practical,
earnest talk to the young people, IL
Illustrated with charts and flags of diff
ferent nations and countries of the
earth. He said God likes to see good,
honest boy, one who has self-respect
and starts out in life in the right way
at an early age, and that nobody likes a
saucy, silly, proud and imprudent girl.
If you want to please God, start out
now to love and serve him." admon-
ished the evangelist. 1--WE are having
these meetings." he said, Ito help the
boys and girls of Marshalltown to get
the right start in life"
Ranged in a row upon a small ia
BILE on the speakers platform, were ten
china vases. Taking the ten. command
ments as theme and boy who
started to attend Sunday school as an
example, Mr. Sunday explained and
very aptly illustrated how the lad had
broken six Of the commandments in
one day, breaking a vase with a ham,
mer each time the infraction of a
commandment was cited.
Mr.. Sunday then picked up the flags
one by one, asking what country they
represented and as responses were
given boy or girl came forward. took
the flag and a seat in the choir loft
until all were distributed. The final
display was impressive. Many stories
were related during the talk, all teach
ing a moral lesson.
At the close Of the discourse the first
invitation extended during the taber-
nacle meetings met with response
that was really surprising and is
hailed as an omen Of the good things
to follow.
The audience numbered about LOO.

RATHER SIGNIFICANT.

When we stop to consider that one

made by the i-prohibitionists, in
mining districts, is that the abolition

man. the action of the United States
steel corporation in posting notices

ployes is more than significant
The whiskey campaign orator Is
chuck full of arguments regarding
the enactment of "sumptuary" laws.
He uses these to the best possible
effect upon the man with the dinner
pail. in the hope Of prejudicing him
against prohibition. He paints dole
full pictures Of the rights of the labor
er to his booze, and ignores the claims
which the mans family may have
upon his wages. On the other hand
this same orator points out how the
mining and manufacturing industry
would be ruined by an exodus OF the
thirsty workingmen, Fortunately
the workingman of today is not de-
void of thinking capacity. Frequent

A FALSE OPTIMISM.

Our fat friend, the United States
Brewers association, composed OF
those who have a financial generation
for the malt, met In Atlantic City and
with that unflinching gall and brazen
effrontery characteristic Of their cult
declared to the world that THE prohi-
bition wave has reached its height and
the reaction is already beginning to
set in"
The report from which we quote
was prepared by the trustees of the
association. That they permitted the
wish to be father to the thought is
conclusively shown by their own sta
tistics, which admit a decrease in beer
sales for the period embraced be-
tween June 30, 1908 and April l, 1903,
OF S2,5OO.OOO, in round numbers. The
remarkable thing Is that they admit

court, impeaehing Sheriff Frank Caz.
alas, of Mobile county, must stand.
The Mobile sheriff was found guilty OF
dereliction of duty in that he made no
attempt to prevent the lynching of a
negro in his custody.
The removal of Cazalas was de-
served While there is not the slight
est sympathy felt in any part of the
South for the negro who commits the
unpardonable offense, still there is a
determination, and a growing one, for
the enforcement of the law Execu'
tions should be legally conducted
Mob law should not be encouraged
under any pretense. If lynching IS
permitted for one sort of crime 1t Is
but matter of time until itlwill be
permitted for all sorts. Hold the OH
GERS responsible, and they will learn
to check the mobs.

THE THIN GREY LINE.

This week witnesses the assembling
of the battle-scarred heroes of the Con-
federacy in reunion at Memphis.
Gathered there, to exchange reminis-
ciences, renew old acquaintances, live
over again the sanguinary conflicts OF
the sixties is a feeble remnant OF the
mightiest army that ever shook con-
tinent beneath it's martial tread. There
are a vestige of the men who followed
the intrepid Jackson throughout the
Valley campaigns, who dared to go
with the gallant Forest into the jaws
of death who finched not when the
commands of the immortal Lee were
to be obeyed, and who upheld the flag
of the Southland, together with its
traditions, in a thousand battles and
under a legion of commanders. Not
one in the depleted ranks who has not
known the smell of powder, who has
not heard the groans Of the dying, who
has not felt the presence of death.
These men, grizzled veterans now, rep
resent all that is left Of the hundreds OF
thousands who went forth at the blare
of war to defend their native land
against invasion. The first call for
volunteers found them eager for the
fray. the surrender at Appomatox left
them defeated but unconquered. To
day, with the sublime courage that
characterized them in the heat OF
strife. they are still fighting with life,
winning a victory here, leading for
lorn hope there Never dismayed,
they have lived to wrest prosperity
from restitution, to rebuild their
homes, rekindle their affairs, and to

HONESTY AND ECONOMY.

ANY errors as to intelligence in ar
ranging tariff schedule are easily cor
rected. but spirit of selfshness
among congressman that prompts a
tariff based on the congressman's in
terest only, is more serious and more
difficult of correction. 1t is a deep
rooted disease. Such spirit may
require a cataclysm to rebuke and
correct it. A spirit of extravaganza
is abroad, not only with the people,
but is expressed in the conduct of the
government. which will have to be
corrected in some way. Unintelligent
outlay or extravaganza is an unneces-
sary tax on the aggregate labor of the
country and net waste. The results
of such conditions are bound to be
felt. Governments and countries COM
pete with others as well as individuals
compete. and unselfshness in the
character Of the rulers works for the
benefit Of the country, and intelligent
economy will finally be a determining
factor in deciding the result of the
race.-Memphis News-Scimitar.

state that this is the reason for their
stringent order, the circumstances in

Young Western Senator Talks
on the Tariff
Continued on Page Ten.

washington, May 25.-Defending
his view that the pledges of the re-
publican party were for the revision
Of the tariff downward, Senator Bev-
eridge today quoted extensively from
remarks by Taft at Bath, Me, prior
to his nomination for the presidency.
He insisted that the speech was ac-
cepted by the people of the country as
a declaration on the part OF conserva-
tive forces of the party that there
would be revision Of duties in order
that they might be lowered. Bever-
idge quoted from the various utter
ances by Taft to show that on num-
erous occasions the president had
called attention to the need for the
revision of duties downward.
Not Taft's Mouthpiece.
Beveridge did not profess to appear
as the authorized mouthpiece Of the
president, but, on the contrary. was
especially careful to say that such was
not the case.
Referring to his attitude in favoring
lower duties, Beveridge declared that
when a senator wishes to reduce the
differential to represent the difference
of cost here and abroad 1t was not tc
be said by any one that he Is not {
protectionist He predicted that the
protective tariff would make many
southern states republican.

The camp was located on the Healthy

rife fire Of Roosevelt and his son has
astonished not only the settlers, bur

Kermit killed recently, at close range,
a hyena that had attacked him, and
he has also come very near to securing
a bag OF female wart hogs in a given
space OF time.
Today the party is staying at the
Healthy ranch, but tomorrow, Roose-
