Sorry Methods

There are legitimate reasons to
,ffer showing why Woodrow Wilson
should not be elected president Of
the United States this fall. For ex-
ample, he represents a party which
lacks intelligent organization at
present, and which has been found
ering around in the dark for a good
many years, lacking a distinctive
platform, plausible cause.
1t may be urged against the News
Jersey candidate that while he be-
longs to a party which is eminently
right In many CT its principles. that
party does not succeed in making its
practices and achievements square
with its principles. The rectitude
of many Democratic principles is
discounted by the large percentage Of
politicians who are hanging on To
the party, with no purpose other
than to secure jobs.
AS against this fault In the claims
OF the Democracy, there Is the fact
that Gov. Wilson Is opposed by
man who has very efficient govern
ment machine behind him, and who
Is a man of uncommon poise and
sanity, who has consistently urder-
taken to promote the interests of
civilization, and who has broken no
pledges, and failed In no particular
to occupy his position with dignity
and authority.
nevertheless, every right-minded
voter In the United States will dis
parage the effort which is being made
Dy certain partisan newspapers on
the Republican side of the fcnce-

An observer on this side OF the
water is struck by the extraordinary
demonstration which these conspir-
acy charges have given OF the soil
darity OF Christian sentiment around'
the world Religious fellowship Is
evidently a real and vital thing
Christians in America are bringing TO
bear all the ingenuity OF the twenti-
eth century civilization and public
sentiment in behalf of Christians who
have been arrested in Korea. The
wheels OF government machinery In
Washington and Toxic have been set

All undersigned II may come to pass
that, as has so often been the case
in the Orient, the religious element
will be the decisive factor in settling
grave political issues.

present time the Christian Church is
being tested by fre and by prison and
by death. Only those who are willing
to endure persecution for the Names y
sake VIII care TO continue to wear the
name OF Christian. 1t is a notable fact
concerning missions, however, that up
10 the present. so far as reports have
come To this country, no Christian
among all the hundreds OF Koreans
whc have undergone persecution. has
expressed any desire TO give up his
faith.
The parable OF the net Is a reminder
or the comprehensiveness OF the NI1S-
dom. No one sect, no one church. no
one creed. no one people, Is sufficient
TO compromise the Kingdom OF Ii aven.
The spirit which rules out other faiths
and other disciples is not the aplr't or
Christ. The religious charlatans who
come along with peculiar interpreta-
tions OF scripture, saying to their de-
luded followers, You alone are the
see the whole truth you alone are The
people,, are running counter to the
genius OF the teaching OF Jesus.
One more point the parable OF the
net has for us: 1t takes two worlds to

The Wise Householder.
To His intimate friends who caught
the meaning OF these teachings Jesus
said that they. as instructed teachers
of the Kingdom Of Heaven. were like
unto the householder who produced
from his treasures things new ami
things old. That is TO say the teach
er Of the Kingdom needs all the new
truth that divine wisdom can impart.
but he also needs to hold fast TO the
old Our times want all things new;
novelty Is the passion OF this age.
People have itching ears. They think
ths II is not the old gospel that viii
satisfy them. but the newest of new
teachings But he who Is a qualified
Kingdom scribe brings forth from his
stores both the old and the new.
The truth OF this In the case OF the
Disciples was shown by their subse-
quent experiences. Several OF them
became authors Of books OF the New
Testament, and In these they illumin-
ated their Kingdom teaching by both
the wisdom CT the Old Testament and
of the new word of Jesus. They
proveo themselves worthy OF the com
mendation Of their Master.

COMBINE OF ELECTORS
FOR A THIRD TICKET
HadIey, Proposed Beneficiary,
Says 1t Was
Given Up.

ST LOUIS, October lit is asserted
that many, if not all, of the eighteen re-
publican presidential electors in Missouri
recently signed an agreement pledging
themselves to vote for Taft for President
If the eighteen votes of Missouri in the
electoral college would elect him, but
otherwise to combine with electors from
other states on third candidate
The signing of the agreement came to
light through the announcement of John
J. Lahiv. an elector of st. Louis, that he
would repudate the contract because
Gov. Hadley in his speech Saturday night
failed to indorse President Taft Lahiv
said he understood that if all of the
electors signed Gov. Hadley would come
out openly for Taft.
Louis p. Aloe. another elector, admitted
signing the agreement under the same
conditions as did Lahiv..
At the republican state headquarters it
was said that it was not known how
many electors had pledged themselves.
The st. Louis electors understood that
Gov. Hadley was to be the compromise
candidate for President in the event Mr..
Taft could not be elected, but there was
nothing in the agreement to that effect.
Gov Hadley over the telephone said the
project to get electors signatures to an
agreement was started two months ago
and dropped because it was not consid-
cred feasible.
Later State Chairman Elvins heard of
the plan and thought it might be put
through" said Gov Hadley. II gave him
copy of the original agreement, but
had nothing to do with getting signatures
to it. Elvins, after getting a few sigma
lures, told me he did not think it would
work out, and abandoned it week ago.
II never gave anybody to understand
that If the agreement was signed l would
support President Taft"
