RIGHT WILL TRIUMPH
IS P|NCHOT'S PROPHECY
Says People Are Awakening to
the General Interests of
of Popular Rule

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Oct. 3.-Ginord
Pinchot, head of the National ConserVa-
ton association, is here to attend the an
nual convention of the Brotherhood Of
St. Andrew. When asked for his views
on the political situation in the west,
Mr.. Pinchot issued the following signed
statement:
THE essential facts in the west, as
see them are the awakening of party
ties, due to a genuine interest in popu-
lar government, and the spread OF pro-
gressive ideas.
THE defeat of such men as Hull in
Iowa and Tawney in Minnesota and the
overwhelming victory of LaFollette, In
Wisconsin, the successful fight Califor-
MIA is making against the political DOM
nation OF the Southern Pacific, the de
mand for direct popular government IL
Arizona, the reputation of Ballinger
by mis- own city, county and state, and
especially the fact that the conservation
idea has swept the west-an these are
typical signs of the progressive advance
"Of course, there have been and there
will yet be reverses in the course OF
progress, but nothing can stop. or even
long delay q movement which Is pased
on the insistent demand of the people for
honesty and open political methods and
square deal for all men. The west Is
through with the subsidized man and
the hole and corner methods under which
the machinery of government has been
steadily misused for the benefit of the
special interests and the professional
politicians.
1.-The people OF the west and the Mis-
sissippi valley believe in protection, but
they are not greatly interested In de-
lenses of the tariff based on its alleged
virtues as a revenue-producer. 1t Is no
justification of the tariff to say that 1t
pays. This government is not reduced
to the necessity of raising it's revenues
by schedules which rob the people.
1.-The essential fact about the tariff
as the people see 1t where l have been,
is that it is unjust, moral wrong,
written by the servants of special prtvi-
lege for the benefit of their masters, and
intended not to help the small man make
a living. but TO help the big man make
an exorbitant profit. No amount of sta
tistics will conceal or modify that fact,
or make many schedules OF the Payne
Aldrich tariff honest.
Il do not believe that the west or the
east either for that matter, labors I'M
der an illusion whatever as to the real
character OF the tariff or the way IT
was made

SCHOOL LESSON
For October 9, 1910. Matt, 25:14-20
BY DR.. Marion McH. Hull
Golden Text-"Hs Lord Said Unto Him, Well Done Thou
Good and Faithful Servant Thou Hast Been Faithful Over
a Few Things. Will Make Thee Ruler Over Many Things:
Enter Thou Into the Joy of Thy Lord" Matt. 1851

ness. His commentator was reward
enough, but He had greater rewards
than that. In the parable of the pounds
He promotes them to high office. With
only $50 capital they could not begin a
very large business. 1t must have been
fruit stand or a cobbler's shop; some
thing small. He promotes them to the
governors chair. Here, with the talents.
He not only promotes them to larger OPP
the joy of their Lord.
There are two things about the re-
wards that need emphasis. One is that
the reward is proportionate to the dill
gence exercised. In the parable of the
pounds the man whose diligence is such
that the pound increases on thousand
per cent gets twice as large a reward
as the one whose diligence in using the
same amount has produced an increase
only half as great Whereas in this
parable the reward of the two-talent man
is exactly the same as the reward of
the five-talent man, because the same
diligence, or faithfulness, had been
shown. The other point is that the re-
ward is not rest, but larger RESPONSE
bility. The promotion from a fruit
stand to the governors chair entails
larger responsibilities and more work.
The training received in the smaller
stewardship was not to be wasted, but
utilized. When a man takes great care
to make a tool, he does not throw IL
away when il is fit for use, but uses it..
The work in the waiting time prepares
us for larger responsibilities and useful
ness when our Lord returns.
But while the reward is not rest, the
work of the larger responsibility is
done restfully. We enter into the joy
of our Lord: we share with Him the
joy of service, service that does not
weary, worry or wear out; but service
that is refreshing and full, of joy.
Ny brethren, do you appreciate that
while we wait for Jesus to return, there
is work for us to do? To each of us,
according to our several ability, has been
entrusted some of our Lords goods.
Each of us has the pound on which we
are to live and with which we are to
trade; it Is the gospel OF Jesus Christ.
You have some talents; 1 have some. 1t
doesn't matter whether 1 have more than
you, or you have more than 1. When He
returns there will De a reckoning. Are
you making the most of those entrusted
to you? Am I?
sometimes now to be the kind of Chris
tian We want to be; it will be restful
work then. Our limitations are great
now; we will have larger opportunities
then. There is not much glory in a
peddler's job; there's a glamor about
the governors.
Shall we pray and work and wait for
His return?
