Despite the fact that considerable
Christmas shopping has been done
during the past two weeks, it was not
Very brisk. until Saturday. when the
out-of-town trade started the ball
rolling in an effective manner. There
r only fourteen shopping days left,
and by the middle Of the week the
merchants of the city expect to see Il
big increase in the purchasing.
Saturday, however, marked the real
beginning of local Christmas shopping.
A large number of rural school teach
ers made this city their headquarters,
and all day long they invaded the
stores, purchasing gifts and getting
them ready for mailing. Saturday is
the only day they l. able to get to
town, and it is expected that their
number will be doubled this coming
Saturday.

DEPICTS CHRIST
AS FINE LAWYER
Taylor Crum Declares He
Was Most Profound At
torney of His Time.
III FALL SHORT
OF OBEYING LAW
Must Appear Before Bar
Some Day to Hear and
Plead to Indictment.

Taking as his theme. Christ a
Criminal Lawyer" Attorney Taylor
Crum OF Fargo Sunday afternoon de-
livered the third in the series of popu.
lar lectures for men at the Y. NJ. C.. A.
SUNDAY afternoons meeting was we'll
attended. and Mr.. Crum gave n of
the mos forceful and helpful address
es heard In the city for some time.
The first part OF his address was
given over almost entirely to quoting
instances from the Bible. where Christ
showed his knowledge of civil law.
NO lawyer" he declared. who will
carefully &c owe the discussions of
Christ with tho lawyers and priests of
his day and refer back to the Mosaic
law. can fail to be compelled to admit
that from a human standpoint, alone.
He was the most profound and learn
ed lawyer Of His time. able to cope
IN simple, clear, language with all
those who attempted to entrap Him
In the meshes of the law.
His detamers finally conspired
against Him. and, by false testimony,
and contrary to all rules of both the
Jewish and Roman law. hurried Him
to the cross"
Contrasts Two Laws.
In contrasting the Divine law with
the modern. man-made law. he said:
The conditions of the Divine plan,
are: that We accept Christ as our ad-
vooate. u lawyer. and: observe the
rules Of pardon which He has enact
ed. And there is no other way given
under heaven or among men. whereby
we a escape the penalties of Gods
violated law, except through that adj
vocacy, any more than a foreign born
woman can become a citizen without
complying to the letter with the naur-
alization laws. unless she marries a
citizen and thereby gets his citizenship
imputed to her.
Fall Short of Obeying Law.
I'VE have all violated. and come
short Of obeying Gods law. We are
all indicted and stand before the bar.
Some Of us have hearc sermons IN
Vulnerable, we have heard hymns and
psalms innumerable. A mother, q
Wife. a sister have prayed for us. and
yet we have .trampled upon all. good
influences, and some. of us are no
nearer being saved than we would
have been If we had lived in AFRICA
and never seen a missionary. Some
day we will appear before a court,
which is higher than any court we
have ever heard of On earth. We will
hear the indictment read and we will
be required to plead. There will be
no one there to defend us; We will
have no attorney. no advocate. All the
sermons VIZ have heard will plead
against us; all the Bibles that have
been within our reach Will plead
against us. and God will say: BE.
cause I called and We refused. and
out My hand and no man
regarded Me. therefore. l will laugh
at your calamity and mock when your
fear cometh.'"

North Dakota also maintained an

Their Only Hope!

So preponderant has the sentiment
in favor Of electtng DR. III. D. Hatfield
governor OF West Virginia turned
out to be that the editorial writer's
OF several Democratic newspapers
are f1guratively down on their knees
praying that the good doctor may
withdraw from the race. The resig-
nation OF. Judge Dillon, of Ohio, as
the Republican nominee for govern
or of t6atfstate has given these DEM
ocratic editors the only ray of hope
they have seen in weeks and they
are working overtime with their
typewriters,try to iostle DR.. Hat
field Oh: thss ticket ythe inferenttai
process.
The Huntington Herald Dispatch
copies one of the prayer rug buga-
boos from the Clarksburg Exponent
and then hands the Exponent the fol-
lowing hot shot:
Oh, how weak! IA few Demo
cratic editors are fondly hugging the
hope that Or. III D. HATFIELD will
withdraw as the Republican candi-
date, for governor Of West Virginia.
But before September Us the delu-
sion will have passed and instead
will appear to these editors what DR..
Hatheld's friends already feel: the
certainty of his election.
West Virginia Republicans are
united in support of the state ticket,
whatever may be said of the situa-
ton with reference TO national pol
itics. The rExponents chlld-like ut
terances betray all too clearly fall
terlng hope, wish father to its sug-
gestIon, that DR.. Hatfield will follow
the example of Judge Dillon, of
Ohio, and quit the contest. But he
will not. He will remain in the race
to the flnish, and he will show at the
end the same great popularity, the
same splendid strength, which have
marked his history as a candidate
before the people. He will easily
take Glittering Williams measure. He
will be elected and the entire state
ticket will be elected with him. His
withdrawal would remove a sicken-
ing burden of dread from Demo-
cratic editors and Democratic po-
litical leaders, but 1t is not to be.

est Of every honest, industrious. law
abiding white man" and the stale
ment that "our only safe motto is
fall men up and not some men
down,
ut ls not Just quite clear how the
colonel can at these general rules TO
the straddiing discrimination he has
made respecting the eoIored man in.
the South and the colored man in
the North. his great error is in lay
ing down his general rule. That
should have been something ike
this: Negroes who will not
vote for Me have proved them
selves incapable Of sharing in
self government. and should not be
allowed to vote.
The motive Colonel Roosevelt has
in barring the southern colored peo-
pie from representation an his party
while at the same time he permits
liand sanctions this representation in
the North, is simply that of revenge.
At the Republican National rUnven-
ton in Chicago, which re-nominated
President Taft, the Negro delegates
from. the southern states were loyal
to the bone to Mr.. Taft and could not
be shaken from their loyalty by the
persistent entreaties OF the Roose-
Welt contingent. On the other hand,
several Of the white delegates from
the southern states who we're in
Istructed for Taft were found eventu-
ally III the Roosevelt column. The
deep humiliation Of his defeat in the
Chicago convention has bourn heay-
lily upon the colonel; and the only
solace he can find in the southern
situation is to throw out the colored
fetio%s down there asia punishment
for their treachery to Me.
After all, the colonel's line of de-
marcation, the great guiding prin-
ciple that is to be employed in sep
arating the good from the bad, is
the test whether the man Is for Me-
If he is for Me, he Is an honest, law
abiding, Industrious, worthy citizen;
e he is not for Me, he is representa-
tive of all that is dishonest and un-
clean in our political life, a tool OF
the special interests and an enemy
to- modern civilization.
