July armed. They were making no active
demonstrations as yet but were evidently or
ganizing for business. It was STILL sunny
day and both crowds were in easy calling dis
lance of the courthouse.
Now, judge said Captain Bill when they
had arrived at the courthouse, who is your
sheriff and where is he?"
Ellis name Is Burford J. C. Burford and
he's over there with the Townsend crowd He
belongs to that faction"
Captain Bill stepped to the window and
called. in the strong, official manner of a wit
ness summons u. c. Burford," repeated three
times
There was movement in the Townsend
crowd and man crossed overland assembled
the courthouse stair. Mcdonald introduced
himself as the sheriff entered, and added:
Now, Burford, why don't you stop this
row? Looks as if we're going to have kill
ing match here, right away"
Captain, can't. I'm powerless to do any
thing with these men. If l undertake to dis
arm them it will start fight that nobody

well, Burford if you'll do as I tell you, I'll
stop it In 80 minutes or I'll resign my job as
Ranger"
"All right, captain, I'll do whatever you
say assented Burford.
Then call your crowd over here. l want
to talk to them"
Sheriff Burford stepped to the window and
signed to the Townsend faction. They trooped
over and assembled the courthouse stair, car
rying their guns.
"Mr. Burford," said Mcdonald which are
your regular deputies here?"
The sheriff indicated his three deputy Off
GERS Captain Bill motioned them to stand
apart from the others
Now, sheriff." he said, 'disarm the rest
of these men,"
The officer looked a little bewildered.

Didn't you agree to do what l ordered?"
Then, to Kennon-"Didn't he, judge?"
The judge nodded The sheriff still hest
tated.
Never mind" said Mcdonald, "I1 do it
myself. Here. boys he went on in his mild
friendly draw1 come in here and stack your
guns in this wardrobe It's good safe place
for them They won't be likely to go off and
hurt anybody in there"
What was 1t about the manner of the man
that made men obey? Those aroused, blood
thirsty Texans, full of an old, deep hatred and
the spirit of revenge, marched in and put away
their guns at his direction, with scarcely a
word of dissent
He went out of the courthouse and crossed
the street to where the Reece crowd was gath
cred. He carried his Winchester and the fac
ton watched him curiously as he approached.

Nobody replied and Captain Bill came up
close.

AS TO "WABBLIN6."

AS as the wabbling of the Iowa con-
g-essmen who were quoted by a Wash
ington correspondent as "wabbly' II
develops that the wabbling was in the
corr respondents mind. There WASH :
any among the congressman who were
expected by Iowa 10 vote with Iowa
against Joe Cannon and the Cannon
autocracy.
Il would appear that injustice has
without intention been done these con-
gressnlen who voted for the deposition
Of Cannon from the rules committee. 1t
Is learned that they feel hurt over the
irnputation and il is evident in the light
of history that they have cause TO feel
that they Were set in a false light. The
fact appears to be that the Iowa in
surgents never weakened in their sup
port OF rhe Norris resolution But they
must comfort themselves with the re-
Election that the spondenls were
anxious. that they were seeing with
eyes keen for signs of strength and
weakness and that the result was in
doubt 1t IS due 10 the correspondent
and the Iowa newspaper which printed
his telegram 10 consider that their
anxiety for the result is their best ex-
cuse and that in times OF stress things
are said and done which in calmer time
would have failed OF doing and of say
ing.
L seems that the Iowa insurgents at
ali times stood firm Some Of them
cared less for the fashion in which the
result was TO be brought about than
others, perhaps. but the objective OF
all was common; whether by capitula-
ton or by vote, the purpose was the
elimination of the Cannon czarship.
1 Il is good hearing The job was
done, the result accomplished Let it
be written that there was no "wab-

new religion from the old God. AS to
the first, it is increasingly clear that
the religion OF ecclesiasticism, dogma
of human freedom and brotherhood.
As to the second, the painful critical
work must go on to its logical con-
clusion of disengaging religion from its
inner dependence upon historical per-
sonalities and the legendary traditions
concerning them. AS to the third, an
investigating, democratic people en-
phasizing personality can not long
worship God who has no new eX-
periences. who is monarchical and abb
solute, who is substance to be di-
vided into three parts, with a proble-
matte number of attributes and offices,
but is not the living personal God
who is doing things today.
Still, while church. with saints and
dogma and cult. in passing, religious
men who are like minded will ever
gather together for the enjoyment and
enlargement of their mutual faith and
hope and love.
Religion is not church and church
is not religion, but religion leads to
fellowship. And While religion will ever
arise out of living fountains in human
nature communing With a present and
not past God, still inspiration and
incentive and comfort Will ever be de-
rived from the historic revealers of
God in all the great past. And while
new religion must have a new God.
that God Will be invested with values
which the long human story has
achieved.

AFTER -CUMMINS SPEECH.
ISio1x CITY Journal.


The effect of Senator 'Cummins'
three-day speech is quickly seen. The
attorney general, after consultation
with leading republican senator's who
favor the BILL is preparing several
amendments. They are some of those
demanded in the minority report made
by Senators Cummins and Clapp. The
interstate commerce commission is to
approve all traffic agreements before
they become operative. Shippers are
TO be allowed counsel before the COM
merce court. Water transportation
compa nies are put on the same foot
ing as other Transporting companies.
That most singular proposal 10 have

on the legality or public utility OF pro-
posed consultations, thereby giving
them an immunity bath" is to be strick-
en- out. The stocks, bonds and capital
ization features are to be changed. One
more amendment is absolutely essen
tial. Before a change in rates is made
ii must have the approval of the inter-
state commerce commission.

THE SAG" BOY,

a husky, keen faced and intelligent
boy was talking with one Of the edi-
tors the other day. In the course Of
conversation it came UP that he was
home over Sunday from college; that
the school is Arnes: that he is taking
the Gag" there. It developed further
that he didn't see anything quite as
good and with quite as certain "possi-
bilities" in any course as in the Gag"

to work for salary he saw number

jumping sidewise looking for the young
man whose training and common sense
and business capacity and anxiety to
do something fit him TO handle an
other mans business. This big boy
looked out of level eyes, strong. self

months ago he came out OF the high

What the Church Needs.
FREY. J. w. Welsh.j

God never delivers us by means of
unnecessary miracles. He uses human
beings TO fight his battles-and our
! own.
There never can be a leader without
a following: "three-fourths of the sue
cess of a sermon depends upon the
audience"
Leaders are really followers; they are
the servants of the multitude they seem
TO assemble and command: Luther is
not SO much the creator of the refor-
nation as the creature of it; great
movements are Gods more than mans.
A leader prematurely sent would dis
sipate his energies in vain: all upris-
ings are uprisings of the people; ali
great evils are the peoples sins-at
least the people alone can remedy them,
and when they are aroused no embank-
ment can hold back the mighty Hood,
Therefore we find that God delays the
advent of the leader until that ire
mendously important contingent, the
followers are aroused and equipped and
anointed.
The church of today should be COM
posed of those who have seen the need
and felt the call: the drift away from

are themselves examples of men who
have done So They are the aristocrats
of the advocates for a new social sys-
tenn. and let it be said that the aristo-
Gratis of all the fields Of progress are
the people who count for the most.
Gods word is spread by them. On the
few and not the many is placed the
duty of carrying the seed of the word
of God to the uttermost ends of the
earth. What is good on earth has come
thru the mentalities of Gods chosen
aristocrats Of the spirit and the soul.
In the material fields in which We en-
deaTor 10 BECOME great the methods
are the same. The greatest of US be-
come our leaders and they and not we
should claim the credit for the adj
vance. To him who is a genius aristo-
cracy is a duty. Bossism, If you will
have it, should be his system. 1t is
in the manner of the use of his power
that the genius must be careful. He Is

In England and Germany the great
