Zionist Would Stop Use of Tobacco
Riot Follows.

A press dispatch from Zion City,
Illinois, says:
= "Rioting, which may result serious
ly started here late this evening when
employees of Independent manufac-
turing concerns attacked a group of
two hundred Zion men and women at
a prayer-meeting. Both men and wo-
men were beaten with clubs and
blackjacks and a number were seri-
ously injured. The fight came as the
climax of a week of trouble between
employees of the Independent concerns
which recently have begun operations
here and the church people, formerly
followers of John Alexander Dowie.
LAS protest against the use of
tobacco by the employees of the manu-
featuring companies. followers of
Wilbur Glenn Volvia, successor to
Dowie's authority, have been holding
prayer-meetings in front of one of the
plants twice each day. Elder Royal
had just called the second meeting
to-day when several score of men
rushed out of the plant, tore down or
ieaped over barriers which ad been
erected around the prayer platform
and rove the Zionists from that part
of town.
Immediately after the fight at the
prayer-meeting tonight Voliva or
dered the large alarm bell rung and
more than 1000 men gathered at the
auditorium to discuss plans for re-
sisting further attacks by employees
of Independent companies who filled
the streets tonight and threatened to
clean out the town A second clash
between the church people and the
independents was predicted at the
auditorium meeting, where voliva
urged his followers to protect their
women and children from the 'tobac-
co-smoking curs,' as he stigmatized
the Independents"

In Losing Game
A special from Washington TO Sun

The campaign funds OF Speaker
Clark and Governor Wilson have
shrunk until they look like thirty
cents compared with their former
selves. The managers OF the respec-
tive headquarters here are curtaiiing
TO meet expenses. A number OF field
boosters have been called In.
Senator Stone. of Missouri. who
has had much to do with promoting
the boom OF Mr.. Clark. has complain
ed to friends that the money has stop
ped coming In. The Wilson workers
have been financially defunct Ave
times since the campaign opened.
They seem unable now to make an
other haul.
1T is believed that the discontinu-
ing OF contributions to the Clark cam
paign just at this juncture Ia part of
the plan to check the progress OF the
Clark band-wagon. UP to a week
ago, before he carried Massachusetts,.
the Clark managers had money for
the birds, but now some Of the ONCE

For a month or longer twenty-five
or thirty persons have been busy at

out Wilson literature
This has changed. The money is
giving out and contributions are not
coming in as they did in March and

Curse Inwardly-No Reason Why
He Should be Re-nOminated.
New Bern Journal (Dem.)l
About o'clock in the morning,
at Goldsboro, N. c., July 6, 1910, at
ter an all night session, the Demo-
Gratis of the Third North Carolina
Congressional District nominated a
Doctor Faison. This political con-
summation was one of those freak
acts which men do on "the morning
after" when worn to . thin edge, and
not in their right minds. This nomi-
nation given, of course, Democrats
had to openly endorse, though ours
ing inwardly. 1t was one of those
political commitments that a party
sometimes makes, and then has to
stand by it, a veritable dish of politi-
cal crow, that must be declared pala-
table and eaten without a grimace, no
matter what the inward pangs may
be.
The campaign conducted by the
nominee was of the lowest and most
common order. Every self-respect-
ing Democrats was Disguised. II the
District had not been well worked
up to strong Democratic proportions
during the twelve years of Charles
r. Thomas honorable tenure of this
Congressional Office, there is no tell
ing what the result would have been.
1t would seem that the Democrats
of the Third District have been forced
, to enough loss of self-respect through
this unfortunate hot July morning no.
litical act of 1910. 1t may be that
the voters are, but the possible can
didates who would like to try for this
Congressional honor are afraid to de-
clare themselves, because of "prece-
dent" which presumes to assert that
an incumbent shall have at least two
terms. A very sacred CD party pre-
cedent, this. OF course, politicians
stand for such precedent, because
If any one of them secures the first
term, 1t means easy reaching for for
the second. Ii there was reason for
a second nomination without an ef-
fort, because of individual merit and
worthiness, how much more practical
and sensible. than first handing out
an honorable Office based on foolish
and senseless precedent. 1t in fol-
lowing such presidents as this that
often arouses the voters to action that
means party defeat. No public Office
should be held as sinecure. tn he
passed along without the consent and
approval of the voters.

 FOR HARD WORK
PRESIDENT HADLEY TELLS THE FRESHMEN IN FIRST ADDRESS THERE ARE PRrS0cS ~4ax
 THE RIGHT MEN IN VARIOUS LINES.

The annual reception to the fresh
 man class at Yale was held last night
 in Dwight hall, The Sheffield students of the entering. class were welcomed
 in a reception at Byers hall.
 President HadIey addressed both
 gatherings. At Byers hall he said in part: in speaking of +Yale's democracy: Yale is place not only where we stand for hard work, but where we all work together It is a place where there are all kinds of opportunities for a man to distinguish himself. If your talent is for study. or writing, there are prizes before you for study or writing. If 1t is singing or acting, there are prizes for singing and act ing. By prizes I mean, in the best sense in the sense of social recogn1- tion as hard. and successful workers That is the best kind of recognition. If your talent lies in business, there are ananagerships open to you, and business success is encourased and re- spected here to the utmost degree. If your talent lies in athletics, there ie distinction to be gained on the ball field, the water, and the track I say that there is such a variety of lines, that every man can choose one or two, and4it is most desirable, if 2, man can do so,5 to select one in which he uses his head and tine other in which he uses his feet and hands. OppoT- tunfty which brings him into compe- tition is the best kind by which he can measure himself with his fellow men
 .'There is another thing that you can do that is equally important You want to appreciate the others work also The ideal democracy is not a place where everybody is equal. It is not place where everybody &s doing 1 the same thing. It is & place where ever ybodys is working for the coromua- ity, and. everybody in the community appreciates and encourages the work 1 doness and.Hgives a stimulus to the best efforts
