that the mission of the church is in
the interest of the WHOLE MAN

Somehow, it is driven home upon US
that men have bodies as we'll as souls
We may theorize about this as We
please, but the workingman is tremen-
dously concerned about how he is go
ing to care for himself and his family
in the here and now. Therefore. we
need to emphasize the fact that the
mission of the church must be in the
intrest of the whole man TODAY. We.
must be more concerned about the
people who are living in Chicago, in
Pittsburg, in Washington today than
about those interesting people who
lived four thousand years ago. If we
are determined OF preach social Cos
pei. it will be very much easier to get
the facts concerning the Chicagoitesl

Jail Sentences
Are Expected
Justice Wright Apparently Bent on
Summary Punishment to
Labor Officials.
CASE Is
is NEAR CLOSE.
"Let Them Go AS Far AS They Like"
Says President Samuel
Gompers.

Washington, D. c., Aug.S "A rumor
which apparently will not down is to
the effect that Presiden. Gonpers, Sec.
rotary Morrison and Vice President
John Mitchell will be hailed into court
shortly by Justice. Wright, of the Su-
preme Court of the District Of Column
bia in response to a demand made by
the investigating committee to the
court. It will be remembered that the
defendants were cited to appear in
court and show cause why they
should not be held in contempt. Num-
erous motions were filed by attorneys
for the defendants, all of which were
overruled, and, as last move in the
case. plea of mot guilty was Offer
ed. The plea was taken under advise
ment by the court and an adjournment
had, ostensibly for the purpose of the
prosecution filing an answer to the
plea. One of the motions made by the
defendants was that the prosecuting
committee be discharged on account of
bias and District Attorney Wilson sub
stituted therefor. Justice Wright dis
posed of this motion by the addition
of the District Attorney to the COM
mittee, and he has .acceped the COM
mission as an Individual. 1t has been
stated in the public pres shat the de-
PENDANTS are to be brought into court
Monday, July 81, and that the commit
to elm charge of the prosecution will
j ask summary judgment, or that a mo-
ton will be made to strike out the
plea of mot guilty" and require an an
swer Under oath. There is no disguis
ing the fact that Justice Wright seems
particularly bent on Furnishing these
men by Imprisonment or heavy pen
atty. Every movement made On the
bench. the disposition of every motion
and the courts general attitude speaks
plainly of his apparent intent. Presi-
dent Gompers stated at the lime that
the committee was appointed, in an
sWer to a question: "Let them go as
far as they like" 1t appears at this
time that the court IS likely to go all
the way.

with any matter affecting public inter-
ests VINO has never felt enough inter-
est in the most important of all public
questions to properly inform himself?''
In the face Of facts like these there
were nevertheless many sincere
voters like Senator Lafollette who be-
lieved that Mr.. Taft had reformed and
gave him their support.
The attempt to assist the Morgan
Guggenheim combination, the dis
missal of Pinchot and CLAWS, the en-
dorsement of the infamous Payne
tariff law, the packing of the Supreme
Court with trust lawyers, the attempt
to bulldoze the prospective State of
Arizona into eliminating the Initiative,

Criticism
Of Taft

Senator LafoNette's speech showing
the reactionary character of the Taft
administration raises the question
why any one should ever have expect
ed anything else of the President. His
whole public record previous to his
nomination was history of Servility
to predatory interests. His course as
president has been consistent with
that record. The mere fact that he
was recommended and endorsed by
Roosevelt was no good reason for the
conclusion that the leopard would
change his spots. During the cam
paign of 1908 Mr.. Taft said nothing
to indicate that he had had a change
0 fheart. There were quite number
of voters who knew just what to ex-
pect Of the Taft administration. These
voters have not been disappointed.
One of them wrote a lettA: to the
Commercial Travellers Taf: ..iub in
response to an invitation t. join. The
date Of the letter is May II. 1905
Some quotations follow.
"Mr. Taft's whole political career
has been one of subserEience to tie
forces OF tyranny and oppression.
Look at his record on the bench!
When any case came before im in
which the interests Of predatory rail.
road corporations were arrayed against
the rights Of labor it vas foregone
conclusion how he would decide. Look
