CROWDS INSULT
P|TTSBURGM MAYOR
HOOTED AND HlSSED WHEN HE
TRIES TO EXPLAIN HIS
CONDUCT.
IN BIG INDIGNATION MEETING
Audience SkepticaI of His Efforts to
Clean Up the City-TriaIs of Ac.
cused Aldermen to Be Rushed,
Beginning Monday.

Pittsburg, April 2-The indignation
of 1000 citizens over the political cor
ruption now being investigated by the
grand jury councilmanic confessions,
and denunciation of civic vice gener-
ally, was vehemently expressed at a
mass meeting in Exposition hall
Mayor William A. Magee, who sought
to address the meeting, was hooted
off the stage. The resentment shown
was at the chief executives failure
to work promised reforms in the red
light district, delayed action on trac-
ton problems and other local mat
ters.
The meeting was addressed by sew
eral prominent local reformers, but no
definite action was taken. The meet
ing suddenly veered from it's discus
sion of the councilmanic cases when
A. w. We'll, president of the voters
league, made a general attack upon
the mayor, which received great ap-
plause.
When he had concluded Mr.. We'll,
who was also chairman of the meet
ing, announced:
"The mayor asks if you will hear q
few remarks from him."
Voices: Sure, sure" (And ap-
plause.)
The mayor said:
"There are some men who have no
fear. The mayor of your city is one
Of them"
A voice: "Impeach him."
Chairman We'll cried Order"
Mayor: eff 1 were guilty of all the
newspaper charges made against me I
would be abashed; it would be only
left for me to resign"
Voices: Good, good! You're
afraid
With several pleas for order by
Chairman We'll Mayor Magee attempt
ed to explain his actions on many To-
cal matters, especially the case of
county Delinquent Tax Collector Max
Leslie who was recently acquitted Of
charges of perjury in connection with
the graft cases.
Mr.. We'll declared that when Leslie
was on trial in criminal court the
mayor gave him aid and counsel. The
mayor denied the charge, to the &C.
compartment of more boots. In the
midst of further explanation of trac-
ton matters he ended with the re-
mark: "Td like to speak all night and
go into every detail"
Groans, boots and Kisses stopped the
mayor and he was compelled to desist.
To Rush Graft Trials.
Upon the adjournment of the grand
Jury for a recess District Attorney
William A. Blakeley said that the
much awaited presentment which is
asked to name men higher up in the
graft scandals certainly would be
ready by the first of next week.
The trials of many councilmen and
| former councilmen indicted in the 81
true bills already returned will begin
next Monday. The trial list given out
includes the cases of former Council
men Charles Stewart and Hugh Fer
guson, alleged to be leaders in the dis
tribution of the vote buying money
The reason given for so early trial
of the cases already in hand is that
the accused men might have no chance
to frame up defense and also to in
cite more of them to come forward to
take the immunity bath of confession.
John Semmelrock took advantage OF
the bath and admitted receiving 5000
from Stewart for his vote on the bank
ordinance.

THE PASSING OF BRYAN.

Mr.. Bryan as leader was never a
success. He lacked the most essential
characteristics of a successful political
leader. but he was always fearless in
his command and honest, if deceived, in
his theories. He has been fast losing
his grip on the party and the recent re-
fusal of the party in his own State to
adopt his views and his unfortunate
fioundering on the liquor question,
which has been the "bete noir" of SC
many political leaders, seem to have
about completed his downfall. He will

men will take command, but Mr.. Bryan
will have many chances as n worker in
the party to prove whether ibis love of
Democracy has been cooled by his loss
of power. That some man will be
found in the party ranks to take Mr..
Bryan's place can not be doubted, and
when this man is found he will find
lined up behind him a rehabilitated, mil
liant party anxious to prove to the
world that the Democratic party is still
a power in the country.-Free Lance.

to hold an Office will enter such a con-
test. Washington Post.
The primary in Virginia is liable to
the same criticism-indeed, same oh
Jections which arc so well stated in tie
above article. The fact is that the
primary is prohibitive, so far as a poor
man is concerned. No matter how
patriotic, how capable. honest and able
he may be. he is prohibited from enter
ing the contest for Office in the primary.
for it is impossible for him to put up''
the necessary funds. Besides as it has
been conducted in some sections-the
primary is both fraud and a farce.
Republicans have been allowed to vote
in such numbers that they practically
nominate the candidate in Democratic
primary.
There are other objections to the
primary. 1t creates self-perpetuating
office trust. Those who are in, stay in.
largely because they have the funds to
keep themselves in. So, one who has
not the funds, dare not enter the con-
test in the primary to oppose them.
And so far as we have been able to see,
no more capable, no bettero officers have
been nominated in the primary than in
the old system of nomination. The
mass of the people are opposed to it.
and at the first opportunity will wipe it
out.

GOOD COUNSEL.

No young man can hope to rise in So
ciety or perform worthily his part in
life. without a fair moral character.
The basis of such a character is a vir-
tuous, fixed sense of moral obligation.
sustained and invigorated by the fear
and love of God. The youth who pos
sesses such a character can be trusted.
Integrity, justice, benevolence, truth,
are not with him words without mean
ing; he feels and knows their sacred
import and aims in the tenor of his life
to exemplify the virtues they express.
Such a man has decision of character;
he knows what is right and is firm in
pursuing it; he thinks and acts for him.
self, and is not to be made the tool OF
unprincipled and time serving politicians
to do the dirty work of party. Such q
man has true worth of character; his
life Is a blessing to himself, to his family,
to society and to the world; and he Is
pointed out to future generations as q
proper example for the rising youth tC
emulate.

Chief Health Officer Levy has issued

he will demand strict adherence to def

breeds best in stable waste and fattens
quickly where his movements are undis-
turbed by stable boys. 1t follows inev-
itably that flies can never be overcome
until all stables are kept in clean and
sanitary condition. New York tried the
experiment few years ago, and after
many attempts found that clean stables
meant few flies. Rules were laid down
and rigidly enforced which kept flies
from breeding in stables, and, as re.
suit, reduced the flies in New York by
at least seventy-five per cent,

vailing craze that our government is
not republic but mob;
The direct primary is the biggest
farce in politics. all along believed
this tc be so, but / was convinced of il
in the last city election. A capable and
honest man does not want to enter the
field for political office when it will cost
him many times more to be elected than
the thing is worth. 1t isn't worth the
effort or the honor. The people clam.

they have it. but they will find out tha,

Way down into our feelings.

And therefore they abuse it;
But have never found it So

For that's what French was made for.
But when a crony takes your hand
At parting to address you,
He drops all foreign lingo and
He says "Good-by; God bless youi''
This seems to me sacred phrase,
With reverence impassioned;
A thing come down from righteous days,

A voice that's round and cheerful;

And in your heart of hearts appears
To work it's gracious function.
And all day long with pleasing song

That's told "Good-by; God bless youl'

When was leaving mother,
Standing at last in solemn pause
We looked at one another,
And II saw in mothers eyes
The love she could not tell me-
A love eternal as the skies,
Whatever fate befell me;
She put her arms around my neck.
And soothed the pain of leaving,
And though her heart was like to break,
She spoke no word Of grieving.
She let no tear bedim her eye,
For fear that might distress me;
But, kissing me, she said "Good-by,"
And asked our God to 'bless me.''

A DEFENSE OF THE ADVISORY COUNCIL
HELD AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH.
APRIL "a, 1910.

A DEFENSE OF THE ADVISORY COUNCIL.
HELD AT CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH,
APRIL %, 1910.
This Council met on the above date
upon an invitation extended by Calvary
Baptist church and after due delibera-
tion came to the conclusion recently
published; but in view of recent pub
lication eminating from this New St.
John Baptist church calling US unreason-
able, the moderator of said Council
wishes to state that soon as we were
organized we asked for the cause of call
and the (present) pastor and two other
brethren stated a certain number of
their members came some time past
and asked for their letters of dismis-
sions and refused to state what
church they wished to join. Calvary re-
fused to grant them. and if granted
revoked them subsequently. We believe
Calvary did the right thing for we as
Baptists do not grant letters to go
nowhere or to beat the wind, but to
some named or specified church of
same faith and order. These members,
the Council understands went out and
formed another church without being
dismissed and are accordingly disorderly
and ought not be fellowshipped. Speak
ing for myself, there would have been a
different aspect had body of members
petitioned their church to organize them
into church; first showing the neces-
sity for such an organization and the
church refused to do SO. The name
New st. John Baptist church was not
mentioned at this Council more than was
necessary to advise touching members
who left Calvary without letters and ir
courteous terms. Speaking for mod.
orator alone, he can't see the wisdom
in the members in breaking off from
their mother church, when there is nc
apparent necessity for another Organza
ton and calling for a pastor mar
J whose ability and scholarship fit him fol
more lucrative field of labor, anC
. especially when he so recently resigned
two churches in this locality to better
, his condition. Is it not, therefore, rea
sonable to suppose that he would resigr
, from them when a more inviting call j:
presented? Then these members VIII.
! must remain here will be branded BY
, their neighbors as deserters. The pur
port Of the Councils actions is that in
} case these members do not heed then
church's call in the time specified, they
can't be fellowshipped or recognized by
any organization of orderly Baptists OF
of same faith and order and in this the
moderator fully concurs.
