One hears about the automobile

anxiety and Impotence, because of
the inability to secure the new 1911
models to demonstrate or deliver to
people who have already contracted
for new cars.
Not nearly all the factories have
sent out their new models, while
others have given their Topeka repre-
sentatives the advantage by hurrying
their latest models to the west.

Topeka have met with phenomenal

The Democrats are conducting their
campaign on the charge that the Re
publican administration of Governor
Wesley has been extrf.SN CANT and
wasteful of the taxpayers money. In
reply to this charge the Republicans
say the state has had wonderful
growth during the past few years and
that more money than formerly is alb
solutely necessary to meet the new
and increased legitimate demands and
keep South Dakota in the forefront of
the prosperous and growing states of
the northwest. The Republican lead
eTs predict that the Republican con-
gressional and state ticket will have
aot less than 10000 majority at the
November election. and thai this ma
jority may run nearer 10000
The Republicans are basing their
campaign on the record of having en-
acted various platform measures, and
the promise of enacting additional re
form legislation
The Democrats say they have good
fighting chance TO elect their nominee
for governor and also their two nomi-
nees for congress.

LONG BARES LIFE.
Millionaire Tells Disciples of His
BOyhOOd Dreams.
Says Mothers Desire That He
Preach Prompted Gift.

For fifteen minutes Friday after
noon r. A. Long. the Kansas City
millionaire and head of the Long-Bell
Lumber company, talked to the Ma
tional convention of the Churches of
Christ. It was a meek and humble
man who faced the big convention
and unburdened things that were next
to his heart-told of joys and sor-
rows, of longings and desires.
1t was just R. A. Long, rather
worn looking little man, with pinched
cheeks, down which the tear drops
occasionally trickled, as he mentioned
some memory or dream of bOyhood
days many years ago There was no
evidence of r. A. Long, a shrewd, con-
sentative business man, whose magic
made his money earn more money
and then multiply again. 1t was r. A
Long, a man who was looking back
over life's rugged path and saw things
which reached the heart-and it was
of these things he was telling the big

than to buy this stock and tender it to
my people.
Il don't care if you do not want to
take the plant over now, it will need
some new equipment, some reorganiza-
ton and then when it finally is given
to this great church, it will be on a
substantial basis to pay a good oper-
ating expense and dividends to some
worthy benevolent society.
! Inside of three years, L pray that the
prayer of my mother may be answered
and that may preach the gospel ev-
cry week to an audience of not less
than 100000 people"
When the Kansas City millionaire
took his seat, his action showed the
feeling that had entered into his talk.
There were tears in his eyes and out
in the audience men coughed and wo-
men wiped misty eyes. For moment
the convention was silent Then q mo-
ton was offered to adopt the publish
| ing committees report without discuss
| ion. The question carried without an
opposing vote.
The question which had been disturb
ing the minds OF the Church of Christ
for months was settled. r. a. Longs
gift was to become the real property
. Of the church. The opposition had with
drawn.

The newspaper fell away from the pas
senger's face, but he did not open his
eyes and he made no move. Mr.. Light
cap looked closer. He saw that his pas
senger was dead.
It was ascertained that a man was
Thos. c. Crenshaw, a travelling sales
man for the Askew Saddlery company
of Springfield Mo. He boarded the
Union Pacific train at Topeka. He was
reading the newspaper while the train
was running between Topeka and Law
renee. Just as the train pulled out OF
Lawrence, Chenshaw settled back in
his seat. The newspaper almost en-
tirely concealed his face. Other pas
sengers in the car thought he was sleep
ing, and no one spoke to him or dis
turbed him until the conductor attempt
ed to awaken him.
Crenshaw was well dressed. wal
let containing $156 was found in one OF
his pockets.
An autopsy showed that Crenshaw
died from heart disease.

For years Governor Vessey has been
identified with the progressive wing of
the Republican party of the state, and
two years ago, and again in June last,
won the nomination over stalwart Re
publican opponents. The primaries
last June were holly contested and
feeling was quite bitter between the
two Republican factions. It was be-
cause of this that the Democrats
placed Mr.. Wood in the field, their
plan being to take advantage of the
alleged Republican detection. While
South Dakota has a normal RepubH-
can majority of not less than 25, 900 or
10000, the Democrats figure that a
sufficient number of stalwart Republi-
cans will bolt Governor Vessey to give
Mr.. Wood a victory and land him in
the governors chair.
The Republicans say their party is
united and that the hopes of the DEM
ocrats SO far as the governorshiD or
any other Office is concerned is a vain
one. The Republican ticket. the Re-
publicans point out, is made up of both
sta1wart and progressive Republicans,
and that because of this the Republi-
cans Of the state are united and will
support their party ticket practically
to a man. They also point out that
Theodore Roosevelt, on the occasion of
his visit to South Dakota some weeks
ago, publicly gave utterance to the
hope that Governor Vessey and Con-
gressmen Martin and Burke would be
reelected, and say the Republicans of
the state will heed the advice of the
ex-president

The little talk by the millionaire
lumberman came just following a re-
port of the Publishing House COM
mittee suggesting that a general pub
fishing committee for the reception of
the R. A. Long gift of the Christian
Advocate, be named by the president
Mr.. Long in part said:
"Modesty suggests that 1 first say
that report eulogizing an individual
should not be signed by himself But
that report is not why 1 am talking
to you. 1 want to speak in a most
humble and heartfelt manner concern
ing this matter. Things I may have
said in public before, I desire to talk
about this afternoon, and for reasons
you may understand later
'fIn earlier days it was my mothers
wish that I might become a minister
of the gospel. Whatever fault there
be in mans life, a man likes to respond
as nearly as possible to prayerful
mothers will. 1t is with wish to
meet as nearly as possible her wish
that I am going to take you into my
confidence. 1 do not speak from a
selfish purpose.
when I was a boy, just as you or
your little boy, it was my DEAN to
some day become greatly wealthy. L
took great delight in building those
air castles 1 am going to say that
much more Of the worlds wealth has
dropped into my collection box than |
had ever expected, than I ever had
even dreamed; and along with that
wealth L have had more real joy and
peace and happiness than a man US
ually expects to find.
1T has been my little pleasure to
contribute to societies-believing that
might contribute something to save or
help some young man or some young
woman. It has been one of my pleas
ures to contribute to q. fund that will
arouse and interest the young men;
for I do not believe that the injunc-
ton to preach the gospel to all men ever
will be met until we have aroused
young manhood. There isn't much
among us that means more than to
raise the orphan, or to help the widow.
For this reason the ministerial relief
fund should be many times what it is.
1t is not for us to make of these grand
old men in point of appearance, the
merest paupers and beggars. The fund
should draw on US and we should re-
Spond.

needed a brotherhood publishing house.
