mobile owners and machines from
about so of them in which the dele
gates to the Christian church con-

region.
Mr.. Deming performed his part Of
the work well but nearly half Of
those who promised machines disap

only half of the party could be &C

house, called for-this evening, by the
board of public works.
The board will in all probability
let the contract to the lowest bidder
tomorrow, but before doing SO, it
will make an effort to get the senti-
ment of the people who pay the bills
Were the matter left with the
board alone, 1t is safe to say that it
would promptly and wisely decide on
the use of the oil, for past expert
ence in Hammond has shown the
water wagon to be an utter failure.
The difference in cost between
daily applications of water and two
applications OF oil for the season is
so slight. that the cost will not be
an issue at this evenings meeting.
The question is merely one of eff
cheney, and economy.
The ordinary crude oil or road oil
as it is called, is far from being an
ideal dust layer. 1t is true, it lays
the dust effectively; on the other
hand, or should we say feet, it some
time tracks into the house, where it
is ruinous to carpets and floors.
That is only a temporary fault how

evils, 1t is decided by the lesser

Looking over the press dispatches
of the Taft and Roosevelt campaign
in Ohio there are many strong re-
minders of the Douglas de-
bates of 1853 However, there are
not the comparisons between the
two contests as a contemporary
would have 1t for the political battle
of the bygone days was devoid Of
much of the personalities that exist
in the present campaign.
One dispatch of the thirteenth
reads:
Stubenville, Ohio. May ID
President Tafts first day of his
final campaign swing through
Ohio. which came to an end with
a speech here tonight, was mark
ed the most pronounced verbal
assaults upon Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt to which Mr.. Taft SO
far has given public utterance.
In speeches that were filled with
indignant attack, that dubbed
over with uncomplimentary adj
jectives. Mr.. Taft discharged his
oratory at his predecessor in the
White House.
He started out upon his las.
campaign to urge the people of
Ohio to support him in the
primaries of May 81 at Marietta in
a cold rain which kept up for sew
eral hours. but which finally fed
before the sun.
Late today. when he spoke at
Dennison. Uhrichsville. St. Glars
Vile. Bellaire and Bridgeport. the
weather was fair and the crowds
came out in summer attire.
On August so, 1858 the Chicago
Tribune printed this dispatch wired
from Freeport:
The second great debate be-
tween Lincoln and Douglas came
off at Freeport. on Friday after
noon. The day broke chilly,
cloudy and lowering. Alterations
of wind, and sunshine filled up
the forenoon. At twelve o'clock
the weather settled dismally, cold
and damp. and the afternoon car
ried out the promise of the morn
ing with the single exception of
rain
At ten o'clock a special train
from Amboy. Dixon and Polo ar
rived with twelve cars crowded
full. Mr.. Lincoln was on this
train and some two thousand citi-
zens of Freeport and vicinity as
sembied to escort him to the
Brewster house.
Reports of today are more &C
curate than they were in the time
of our fathers and grandfathers and
while many of the newspapers OF
1853 represent the great debaters as
hurlers of mud, reporting facilities
were not as adequate in those days
record accurately what really tooh
place.

JELLY FISH RELIGION.

1t is not strange to find among
the delegates to the Christian
church convention now closing in
Hammond. a considerable number
whose idea of Christ-worship is TO
be a preacher on Sunday and some
thing else on Monday as well as the
rest of the week. The mad craze
for money and wealth is making
serious inroads into church policy
these days.
Away with sacerdotalism, ecclesi-
asticism, monasticism and all the
other spiritual "isms'' even IL to
bring about means church anarchy.
The world of religion moves in a
strange orbit. The first principles
of religion. the commands of Christ
seem to count for nothing.
Religion has become a pestle in
which preaching and business is be-
ing pounded together so 1t will mix.
The policy of some of the delegates
10 the convention seems to be: don I
offend the congregation, don't con-
denim anything, just feed 1t a little
pap. Be good fellow, Just preach
about something which doesn't mean
anything and nobody will know tn
difference.
It isn't the unprofessing world
which menaces religion today II
