tempt for what he found in his church
IN America was profound.
You see, Jonas had left the theo-
logical seminary years before YOU and
l were born. He had been taught n
stern, hard religion, the religion OF
your fathers and mine; in those davs
men were not afraid to believe hard
things. Jonas had gone from the sem
mary hlled in every corner of his mar
row soul with dogmaS of predestina-
ton of saints, damnation Of ulIaD-
uZed infants, salvation by grace a
whole category of things we no longer
dare believe. And he had gone out
TO the heather, carrying to them the
message OF an unbending and harsh
iaith. can't you see him in that for
gotten inside city Of China preaching
hell and the condemnation of sinners?
ana ne had been constant and indus
trious. He had taught what he be-
lieved to the placid and unastonished
heathen day in and year out, for q
score or years, for twoscore years for
nifty years. And all the time the world
from which he came had moved on
dropping by the wayside the doctrines
he cherished as immutable and eter-
nal. His church had passed by him
hastened on to broader things, to cas-
Ter doctrines. to popular dogmas, to-
ward hberality. l suppose nobody had
ever taken pains to tell him that Pres
byterians didn't teach election of
saints any more. I doubt whether he
would have listened anyway. He was
not that kind Of a man.
so here he was among us. on the
drifting Parthia, and We stuGivd him
gleefully and several young mission
aries shook their heads at him pity
ingly, and we all laughed in our
sleeves at a relic OF a time we had
never known. OF course he didn't
catch the point of our chatter We
were pert, disrespectful almost. and
he stood there unmoved by it all, au-
sterely contemptuous of our business,
our gossip, our petty philosophy. Once
in while he would open his mouth
and say something, when one of the
young missionaries stepped too boldly.
/ wish you could have heard him.
Jonas didn't argue. He merely re-
stated a fact. coldly, firmly. And /
have seen the younger man flush an
grily and turn away uneasily as
though somebody had whispered a
caution in his ear.
lou observe we had the fOunda-
ton for an infinite jest. We had Jonas.
an antediluvian in faith and belief a
ridiculous unmodern figure, and we
had all the leisure in the world in
which to taste the joke and roll it un-
der our tongues and talk il over and
laugh. But in some way the Jest fail
ed to march. If the old man would
have argued I think we might have
made our joke good. But you see he
never offered to debate a matter. He
settled it calmly, stating his doctrine
as fact indisputable and exactly true

initiative and referendum, the direct
primary. the tariff or the numerous
other measures which most of the
candidates for this office have been
discussing
The text of that speech was the
capital J.
Brady is strong for that particular
rronoun ard by the time he got
through with it last night he had it
worn To a fragile. 1t is not meant
that he did not discuss any of the
measures mentioned above. for he did
discuss them in way. His method.
however. was To show what r. had
done with reference to them.
Mr.. O'Neill told of his heroic fights
in the Legislature of Arizona, how he
fit. bled and died to establish a salts
factory water works system for Phoe-
nix: how he fought again to keep
women out of the saloons; how he
went to Washington in the interests
of statehood, and of all the various
and devious proceedings in that guile
full city.
Mr.. O'Neilrs descriptions were eX-
tremely tedious but he stuck to his
job valiantly and did not retire from
the field until the last foe had eX-
pired. He told the same old story
that he has told all through the cam
paign and spoke Of me and Taft
and me and Wickersham" just as
though he was in the habit of drop
ping in at the White House or the
office of the attorney general most
any morning before breakfast The
burden Of all this was, so far as one
could gather. that Arizona would have
been eVerlaStingly lost if il hadn
been for the redoubtable Brady. And
the funniest thing of it all is that he
actually seems to believe it himself
OF course there was the usual talk
about a subsidized press" the SOY
ereign peepul" the special inter
ests," and all the rest of it. 1t was
the same dreary rigamarole from be
ginning to erd that one has been
hearing all through the campaign
save and except the defication of
O'Neill Perhaps the audience owed
that capital / a vote of thanks after
all.
But really it seems a shame that
Brady has no show for the nominal
ton. He gets so much fun out OF
this sort of thing ard is so harmless
throughout that if il were not for
the Importance of the job one could
wish heartily that he might succeed
i'm his ambition.
But the really interesting part of
the talk had to do with Mr.. O'Neilrs
service i'm the legislature. He said
that on one occasion he and George

STORY TOLD ON
PLAZA LAST NIGHT
Senatorial Candidate Ad-
dresses Fair Sized Crowd
and Takes for Text the
Well Worn and Frazzled
Capital I.

There was just one significant part
to E:rady O'Nellis speech at The
plaza last night That did not have
tn do with the rccIH, the initiative
aud referendum. the liract primary,
or any other matter IF government.
II was confession BY C'Ncill tina;
While he and Ge1Igc w. Il. Funt
wee both members of the territorial
legislature they had booked through
Tie desks of three members IF the
legislative body in their endeavor to
find some papers which, it was sup
posed, would have some bearing on
the records of these three men.
O'Neill. as is pretty generally
known is a candidate for the senator
ial nomination.
George w. p Hunt is candidate
for the nomination for governor at
the hands of the democratic party
And these two men. by the confess
sion of one of them. examined the
desks Of three members of the lcgis-
lature without the knowledge or con-
sent of the owners.
And the funny thing about it all
is that Mr.. O'Neill told of this per-
Torrance apparently in the confident
belief that he had done a praise
worthy and meritorious act.
1t never once seemed to dawn upon
him that there could be anything un-
ethical or dishonorable in lifting the
lid of a mans private desk and eX-
aiming his private papers.
1t will be interesting to know
whether George w. p. Hunt better
known as 'Gwp." will repudiate the
O'Neill statement or whether his
sense of propriety will permit the
use of his name in this connection.
There was fair sized crowd at the
plaza to listen to O'Neilrs discourse

large measure with the recall. the
