Gov. Carroll made a strong point in
his fight before the state convention
yesterday for the Endorsement Of the
republican national platform adopted
at Chicago. The governor said that
regardless of what any one thought
of the nomination of Taft, there could
be no question Of faint regarding
the adoption of the platform. Take
away the seventy odd votes Roosevelt
claims were fraudulent and nearly as
many more, he said, and there
would still be left majority for the
adoption Of the platform. In the Chi
cago convention 666 votes we're cast
for the adoption Of the platform. This
was 1876 more than the $40 needed for
adoption. AS the governor pointed out
Hadley of Missouri and Borah of Idaho
both progressive leaders, backed by
their delegations, voted for the plat
FORM There was no justification In
refusing that platform an Endorsement.

THE NEW VERSION.

The International Bible Students as
sociation at Washington, D. g., mas
adopted q resolution repudiating the
teaching that hell Is filed with fire and
birthstone for the torment OF the
wicked. They say that the ministers
Of all the Protestant denominations
have repudiated the hell fire theory.
Now, are we to understand from this
issue by the Bible Student association
and their assertion that the ministers
have repudiated the theory, that It
does away with hell as far as fire ana
birthstone is concerned? Have the
bible students received any late ad-
vice on this matter that puts them IN
position to give expert testimony!
While it may not be necessary 1or
q minister to preach his sermons from
I the most strict Interpretation or the
bible that he can make of it, yet there
are a great many men who on Sunday
morning love to hear the scripture dis
cussed as it was intended it should be
and not as current topic. The every
day life of most men whether they are
In business or working by the month'
week or day has more or less 10 40
with worldly conditions. They get
six full days and part of the seventh
Of that kind of life. A great NUMBER
OF these men would welcome an op-
portunity to listen to an intelligent IN
depreciation on Sunday morning OF
the bible lesson.
They do not care to listen to o lee
ture. No man would go every Sunday
morning in the year to listen to the
best lecturer in the world. He would
get tired OF 1t after few weeks and
want to skip lecture or two and after
he had missed one it would be hard to
ret him started again. But the mill
lister who takes as his topic lesson
from the bible and gives. according to
his ideas, the reason why the Almighty
had that lesson put In the bible and
tells according to his knowledge and
ability what he believes it Is for, and
what he believes will be the punish
ment for disobeying it, and why that
punishment will be administered, Will
md that his audience will grow. That

sermons fearlessly, sincerely and earn
estly and II he believes that the wliful
sinner win go to hell and burn ana
Viii say 80, he will find that the people
viii 70 to hear him.
That Is one Of the features of Billy
sundays and J.. Wilbur Chapman's
sermons that draws the crowd. They
pen q word picture that applies to you.
And It so nearly fits your case that you
are afraid not to go and hear 1t. They
bring out portions Of the scripture with
such force that they cause arguments
ii the community When the preacher
brings out passage of the scripture
prominently enough to get some peo-
bic in the community to arguing about
Is he is accomplishing something IN
his line. The men Of today would
rather hear a good sermon than
poor lecture on Sunday morning.

Sioux City Journal: Candidate VII
son has given out that "the high cost
of living Is the burning issue Of the
hour and that at it's heart lies the high
protective tariff" He Is going to put
that into his speech of acceptance and
into his campaign speeches. When he
comes to elaborate his thought it will
likely appear that our western farm
ers are getting too much for their
stuff. 1t may be they will be offered
cheaper automobiles in exchange for
cheaper meat and cheaper potatoes.
What the governor will ask for right
off is an exchange of votes for prom
ises of cheaper living without hurting
anybody.

CRYING FOR HELP.

A dispatch from Washington says
that a large number Of republican Of
flee holders are now circulating petit
tons to get Taft to withdraw as a
candidate for president. They fear
that the agitation in the country may
defeat them for office.
That lets the cat out Of the bag
again. MAY defeat them for office"
That fs the very thing that these same
officials should have been thinking OF
before. This Is simply a matter Of
chickens coming home to roost.
A lot of office holders have put in
most OF their time for the last three
wears finding fault with everything
that President Taft did or die not do.
The fact Is that President Taft has
come lust as near suiting the men
who have been finding fault with him
IA any one on this earth could The
men who have made 1t business to
saw that President Taft has made mis-
takes do not point out the mistakes.
Then again because one man says that
some act of another man is mistake
does not make 1t so. These things
are largely matter OF personal op1n-
ion.

velt's popularity kept down to the
minimum amount, the criticism of his
administration Many Of the same
men who have been trying to find fault
with President Taft would have COM
planned Just as much of President
Roosevelt if they had thought they
could get an audience. When Roose-
welt went out, Taft came in, then the
flood gates of criticism were opened,
not because it was Taft but simply be-
cause it became popular to find fault.
A republican who wanted to criticise
the administration would go and hunt
up a few democrats for an audience
and go to 1t.
The chronic scold invariably picks
out some one in his own family to
complain Of Then when he goes to
the neighbors to gossip and tell the
family troubles, his audience listens
but never argues. That has been a
good deal the way - this fault finding

His Unhealsd War Wound.

Veterans and near veterans were
fighting all the old battles over again
on the street car. Thrilling escapes
and bloodcurdling adventures had been
related by the dozen when the turn
came to a little old man with a long
beard.
Stroking this adornnent carefully,
the old man said:
"Well, boys, the war cost me just
5000 in cold cash. I didn't want to go,
so I paid a substitute the money to
serve for me. Do you know, that fel-
low went all through che war without
getting a scratch? could have done
the same thing and saved my money.

The indications for the fair this
year may be said to be excellent,
even at this early stage. The Geor-
gia-Carolina annual fall fair has be-
come an established institution for
the people OF Eastern Georgia and
Western South Carolina, and they
look eagerly forward to the fair each
year and arrange to come to Angus
ia always during fair week. The
success of the fair Is shown by the
decision of the directors to build
more and larger buildings. Indeed,
the fair has outgrown its swaddling
clothes and can compare with any
in the South.
