that the Christian church has fostered
high ideals, has preached the doctrine
of human brotherhood. The laboring
man, hearing this, has said that if It
is right to be mutually helpful it is
right to organize. Regarding the or

potency. or laziness. An honest days
labor and not a day of soldering on
the job. You can make your labor or
ganization as cruel as any organized
corporation.
The church ought to recognize the
fact that the laboring man is slipping
away from it. Why? The laboring
men believe that the ministry is con-
taminated by wealth and that there is
no welcome for him in the house OF
worship, that he can not dress well
enough to go to church. I will say
that when a mans wife runs him into
debt so that she can buy clothes to
wear to church and make bigger dis

Two Congressional Committees Work

Washington, June 19.-With two
separate committees of the house delv-
ing into the history and operations of
the American Sugar Refining company
and other sugar corporations there
were brought out today surprising tales
of riches made over night and sordid
stories of alleged frauds against the
government. The special sugar trust
investigating committee continued its
inquiry into the formation and working

play than her sister in the church
there is some truth in the last charge,
but 1 also wish to say that there is not
church in Topeka that will not reI-
come the laboring man. The church Is
the most democratic Institution in
America.
But the church is being supplanted
in the affections of the laboring man by
Socialism. In the world there are 30,
600, 900 socialists. 5000 600 of them in the
United States. One-fOurth of Germany
is socialistic and Russia is ablaze with
Socialism. Socialism in the beginning
was atheistic. but it is now taking on
the phases of religion, has its own
hmyns, and teaches the brotherhood of
man.
Il am not a Socialist, but when you
strip Socialism of its fanaticism and
Utopianism, if is strangely like the doc
trines Of Jesus Christ. If the church
does not become more philanthropic.
more interested in the problems of the
laboring man. there is danger of his
drifting into the easy substitute of So
cialism. If I had my way, instead Of
the so-called devotional meetings Of
the Epworth League. the young people
would devote the hour to the study OF
modern Industrial problems.
IT do not believe that the conflict
between labor and capital is such that
I should always take the part of the
laboring man. Capital has its rights
1t gives the laborer his job. Labor
should not bite the hand that gives 1t
should not smite the sinews of the arm
that keeps its machinery going" a
voice: But it does.D
Labor and capital will always have
trouble until both recognize mutual in

CRUCE roRBIDs PRIZE FIGHT.
OI1Iahcma's Governor Threatens to
Use Militia july 4.

Oklahoma City. June 19.-In letter
to J. w. Berry. sheriff of Creek cour-
ty Governor Lee Cruce referring to
the match between Jim Flynn and Carl
Morris, the so-called white hope" OF
Oklahoma. scheduled for July 4. says:
This fight viii not take place in Ok
lahoma if I can prevent it and if it be-
comes necessary to call out the entire
military force of the state to see that
the law is enforced. it will be done"
The governor says the question OF
whether a prize fight can be held IN
Oklahoma ''is not deebatab BILE" and that
Oklahoma has a law sufficiently definite
and severe to prevent such an occur
renee. While the letter asks the sheriff
to prevent the fight in the event it is
held in Sapulpa. he offers assistance
in case it should be needed.
Both Sapulpa and Tulsa are bidders
for the fight.
