 The Salvation Army has done so much good throughout the world that volumes have been written concerning it. It has become recognized fact that more good has come from the Salvation Army than from any other one religious organization. Down into the slums of our great cities, marching to the time of the tambour- inc and drum, this great body of mo- ble men and women have rescued many perishing soul. Some criti cism has been made in regard to the Great Salvation Army Scene, which is introduced in the third act of the "Old Clothes Man" to be presented at the Grand opera house on Saturday night, April 23, stating that it must be sacreligious. However, after wit messing the play one time noted clergyman said, "The services were conducted in such a manner and han dled so carefully that the most severe critic could not condemn it." Any one condemning the Salvation Army Scene as given in the Gilson & Brad field production of "The Old Clothes Man" would either be very narrow or else they would have never witnessed performance.

Democrats in Congress Charge
Wade Ellis Got Post for a
Purpose.
LEARNED MANY SECRETS
Now Prepared to Get Sinews of War
With Which to Save Admins
tration in Elections.

Washington, March 16.-Whether
Wade H Ellis, now in charge of the
, republican campaign, is still on the
Z V roll of the government as an Off
cia. of the department of justice was
the Nbject of bitter debate in the
house yesterday. Minority Leader
Champ Clark insisted on knowing, in
connection with appropriations for the
department of justice, whether Mr..
Ellis had actually ceased to draw his
salary as assistant attorney general
since he had taken charge of the Ohio
campaign. Mr. Tawney expressed his
confidence that Mr.. Ellis no longer
had any salary from the government.
Let on the Inside.
This is not the first time that men
who have obtained confidential inror-
nation in public office which might
be Of great value in the conduct of a
campaign have been selected for such
duty" shouted Mr. Fitzgerald Of New
York. "Mr. Ellis has had an oppor
tunity to get information that can be
very valuable In frying the fat, which
is the technical republican expression,
and with that power he may save the
fate of the president in his own state
in the coming campaign
Wade Ellis is still on the pay roll
of the department of justice, and will
probably stay there" shouted Repre-
sentative Weisse Of Wisconsin, enter
ing the house from the democratic
cloakroom, where, he explained, he
had telephoned the department to get
this information about Mr.. Ellis.
Not Relieved at Once.
Mr. Ellis issued a statement last
night saying he resigned his office as
assistant to the attorney general on
March l to accept the Craftsmanship of
the republican state executive com
mittee of Ohio and that he expected
to be relieved of his duties in Wash

to leave many OF these points for the
discussion of Attorney General Wick
ersham. Particularly was this true as
Standard OIL property urged by the
defense to have existed both before
and after the organization of the al
legged Illegal combination in 1899.
Time after time the court manifest
ed its keen interest in the case by sub
jecting the counsel before It to a
series of queries. They were particu-
larIy anxious to know about the COM
mon ownership claimed by the stand
ard OIL counsel and to get the various
interpretations of the meaning which
should be given to monopoly, as used
in the Sherman antitrust act.
MiIburn Closes Plea.
"This company has been under
search as no other concern has ever
been,' said Mr. Milburn in closing.
"The power of the United States gov
eminent as 1t exists has reached right

Were Dictated To.
This convention attempted to die
tate the future policies OF the republi-
can editors of Illinois, and it was the
earnest desire of the promoters of the
meeting that it should show to the
country at large that Illinois repubIt
can editors are unanimously behind
Mr.. Cannon and his method of con-
Quoting legislation.
This is a thousand miles from the
truth, and the attempt would have
met a more vigorous rebuke had the
presiding officer been so indiscreet 9s
to call for the nays. The resolution
was jammed through in strictly Can
non fashion. No remarks were asked
for and none were wanted
Called for One Purpose.
1.-The editors were there for one pur-
pose-to help Mr.. Cannon's candidacy.
After they had voted there was no
further use for them and they went
home. I believe the republican eul-
tors of Illinois are able to frame their
own policies within their party with
out the help of federal officeholders,
and 1 made my protest simply and
solely against the using of Illinois edi-
tors against their will in the Cannon
fight. The Herald-Transcript concurs
in the rest of the resolutions and is as
ever standing solidly on republican
principles"

tinueS His Speech.

Washington, March 16.-Hearings IN
the postal savings bank bill, which
recently passed the senate and is now
In the house, began before the house
committee on postof1ces and postroads
today. Representatives of the Ameri-
can Bankers association stated their
objections to the postal savings banks.
NebrasI<an Pleads.
e R Guerney, vice president of the
First National bank of Fremont, Neb.,
and member Of the executive council
of the Bankers association. said the
establishment of a postal savings
bank in Nebraska would cause with
drawals OF large amounts OF money
from banks Of that state, seriously
upsetting business. There was no
general demand, he thought. for pos
tai savings banks in his state. Ma
tfonal and state banks were able, he
said, to take care of all banking bust
ness there.
House Approves Bond Control
Washington, March 16.-An amend
ment to the railroad bill providing that
the interstate commerce commission
shall supervise the issuance of stocks

Agree on White Slave Act.
Washington, March 16-An agree
sRent-was reached today by the con-
ferees on the white slave" bill and
the measure will become a law as soon
as signed by the president. The pro-
vision which made It a felony TO fur
nish a ticket to send a person from
one state, territory or district into
another state, territory or district for
the purpose Of prostitution was elm
mated from the bill.
The senate opposed this Interstate
commerce feature on the theory It
might easily be abused and innocent
persons charitably inclined be perse-
cuted under the provision.
Cummins Continues.
Washington, March 16-Senator
Cummins today resumed his speech in
opposition to the railroad bill. He as
serted the transfer of the defense Of
suits from the interstate commerce
commission to the judiciary depart
ment would cripple the efficient en-
forcement of the law.
