LET us not tr4ae too long with
the widespread passfon6Ie SEINE Of
wrong. even among the more con-
.serVative, arEsing out OF the belief
that large fortunes have been built
up at the expense Of the poor, and
that men, women and children go
hungry while others revel in waste
and luxury. IT Is possible to go ON
until thS soldier called into the
street to protect win fraternize with
the mob.
You viii hear often in these days
that certain men are engaged in
experimenting with new plans Of
government and dangerous expedi-
ents.
.swe do not need new faith; We
need the simplicity, the directness
and self-surrender of the old. We
do not need a new gospel; We need
rather to preach the creed of Wash
ngton and JEFFERSON and Jackson
and Lincoln with tongue OF fire
throughout the land. We need to
have constitutiOnaI morality de-
clared as was the gospel of old to
he rich. and the poor.
+ Choose ye this day whom ye will
serve. the few. the selfish, the law
less, and see our party continue
broken in, faction and deserted By
thousands OF the rank and hle, or
the interests OF the countless thous-
ands of the rank and ale. or the in
terests of the countless thousands
whose hopes and happiness lie in
the direction OF equal opportunities
of just and equal laws. and see ouf
party take ON the strength OF the
days when. 1t defed the arrogant
power OF slavery and appealed to
mons common sense OF Justice
now as then, however, to deal not in
malice and revenge, in hatred or de-
struction, but In equity and justice
in protection and security alike for
all, rich and poor"

FBANK Stone
IS RELEASED
PRISONERS IN COUNTY JAIL
SHRED HIS CLOTHES. PRovlp.
ED WITH TROUSERS BY FRIEND

This morning very amusing and
yet pathetic scene occurred In the
basement of the court house when
Turnkey Thomas Tucker released
from custody Frank Stone, n young
man Of about % years OF age. who
this morning finished serving his
sentence OF 30 days imposed upon him
sofe time ago by Justice Amos.
The young man, when he was plac.
ed within the confines of the Jail had
a nice suit Of clothes, a nice overcoat.
and was very well dressed. but It
seems that after his arrival in the jail
the other prisoners who were not
lucky enough to have any good
clothes became jealous of Stones
splendid attire. and n conspiracy was
hatched among the prisoners, with
the result that a number OF them one
day gathered around Stone and pro-
ceeded TO tear his trousers in rags
and strips, each one OF the prisoners
making rip, and as there were about
30 prisoners In the Jail, the trousers
We're well frayed.
OF course during his confinement in
the palace OF detention the condition
of his clothing did not bother him
much. but this morning when Tucker
notified him that he was n free man
he called attention to the condition
OF his cloting, and Tucker told him
10 walt short time and he would get
him pair OF trousers. and the prls-
oners thought that Stone was to re.
ceiye n new suit, but when the
trousers appeared In the hands of
Tucker they we're found to be merely
n pair of old overalIs which some
painter had left around the building,
and they were thick with the many
layers of paint which Is always found
on the overclothes OF these workmen.
. When the man saw their condition
he went before Squire Amos and told
him that he would rather be put back
In Jail than to go out with such
clothing. but after n while some kind
hearted individual looked him up a
pair of fairly respectable trousers. the
Chief OF Police bought him shoe
strings for his shoes, his overcoat was
restored to him, and he left the place
in pretty good condition.
