TREAT ALL MEN AS BROTHERS.
Spirit of Fraternity Only One For
Christians, Says Prof. Steiner.

DR.. Edward A. Steiner, professor in
Grinnell college, Iowa, spoke TO a
large gathering Of men in the Y. M.
G. A. auditorium, Sunday afternoon,
on the spirit of fraternity which. he
pointed out. should move Christian
men TO regard all about them as
brethren. Not always an agreeable
doctrine, DR.. Steiner said, but the
only one that will enable us to as
simulate successfully the so-called in
ferior races tina: seek equality and
fellowship on our shores. The eminent
authority made his talk delightfully."-
luminous and vivid with the recount
ing OF many incidents in his dealings
with foreign peoples from the stand
point of their contact with our civil.
ization. He said he was for seven
years residence of aliens as condl-
ton of citizenship, just as soon as the
American-born citizens made good in
the working out OF city. state and ma

OPPOSES CUMMINS' PLAN.
Senator Flint Delivers Address
Against Tariff Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-An AT.
tack upon the Cummins resolution
for the revision of the tariff schedule
by schedule. was made by Flint.
tRep. Cali in the senate today.
I am opposed to the resolution"
said Flint. for the reason in event
of its adoption no just and uniform
tariff law could be framed, whether
the policy might be the protective
system or the system of tariff fer
revenue. AS a matter of fact, the eli.
feet of its adoption would be that the
manufacturing states would be abe
to frame tariff solely in their oyn
interest and against the interests OF
the agricultural states"

100 MORE sUBP0ENAS ARE
ISSUED IN GRAFT INQUIRY
Grand Jury Begins investigation OF
Alleged Wholesale Traffic In
Votes In Illinois

DANVILLE, Ills, Jan. 23.-The real
work OF investigating the charges OF
wholesale buying and selling OF votes
in Danville and other places in Yer
million county, was begun today by
the grand jury and as a result, whole
sale confessions are expected. shortly.
Since Saturday more than 100 addi-
tional subpoenas have been served on
persons believed TO know something
OF vote buying and vote selling here
In Uncle Joe's bailiwick, and II Is sig
nificant that nearly all the persons
summoned are bankers and politi-
clans. Every man who has been a
candidate for public office In Dan
vile or Vermillion county for the past
few years has received a subpoena. II
is understood each will be asked to
furnish an itemized account of all the
money he contributed to campaign
funds.
II is surprising the number of men
OF Danville and Vermillion county
who have found that their business
has called them to neighboring states
during the past week and whose stays
away from home will be indefinite. =
The sheriffs deputies report that they
have been unable to summon a large
number of politicians whose testimony
the grand jury is particularly anxious
TO hear.
r. II. Frankenberger, a local news
paper reporter, was one of the first
witnesses before the grand jury to-
day. Frankenberger secured the al
legged confessions from City Attorney
Frank w. Jones Saturday, which
Jones later denied having made.
Frankenberger told the inquisitors
what he knew and asked that Jones
be called to tell his side of the story.
Jones has already expressed a willing
ness to appear, declaring that while
he knows votes we're bought and sold,
he, himself, took no part in the cor
rupt traffic.
The anti-saloon element OF the city
is lending all the assistance In It's
power to the grand jurors In an effort
to effect political housekeeping,
while the wet element Is putting forth
equal elements to block the work OF
the jurors and make the investigation
come to naught

He may slump In his hitting, he may field badly, he may forget the art of base running, he may do many other things which will result in his retirement But the unfeeling .knocker' will never have the satisfac- ton of knowing that they got him.
 And while we are on the, subject, we might as well say what we feel about the situation, especially as IL concerns Moles- worth. And that is, simply, that we are for him as manager of the team-and we are for him simply because he has too much nerve to quit"
