LOCKE'S LABOR SERMON

Edwin Locke, pastor of the Euclid.Asse-

The crowd was estimated a about 600.

orchestra, choir and male chorus.
1.-The man who doesn't labor the
speaker said, lis out of harmony with
the great plan of God Even the animal
who doesn't labor is out of harmony
with the great plan.'
The speaker declared there are many
labor problems yet to be settled, and as
serted that it undoubtedly is true that
labor in many instances is being oppres-
sed. He said that the two churches with
the largest membership in the country
recently have adopted resolutions urging
four reforms effecting labor The reforms
urged include a working wage for labor
ers, hours commensurate with justice to
the workers, every possible precaution to
prevent accidents in industrial institutions
where dangerous machinery is used, and
better conditions for working women and
girls.
The speaker declared that Christ placed
an example before the working world,

one of service for others.

WILL BE NO WAR.
England Can't AFFORD to Fight With
the United States.

London, Sept. 2.-The Daily Mail this
morning prints on the editorial page
a two column article by Norman An
gel, directed at the United States fol-
passing the Panama canal BILL, The
article bears the following:
Why not fight?'' and enuInerates five
reasons for war with Germany. Then
it adds:
"A world power greater than Ger
many and in a position to do US far
more grievous harm with its large
navy, has, according to the general
English view done ell these things or
the American equivalent for them dur
ing the last decade or so. OF course
the. power in question is the United
states, but we have not gone to war.
We shan not go to war. We are not
even thinking of war, and it is not be-
cause blood is thicker than water, for
when blood was a good deal thicker
than it now is, when Americas blood
was really English blood, then we went
to war, not once, but twice.
The writer goes on to state that if the
affronts put on England by the United
States had been committed by Germany
there would have been war long ago
Then he adds:
curiosity enough we fought with the
Germans who have never been our enc
mics IN war, but always our allies
against the Americans. 1t is not for that
lSasoH then that We submit to affrOnts
from America which, if committed by
Germany I'm, would make war enevitable.
The reason why we do not go TO
war with the United States is that war
would be ineffective. We could. not
impose our will by war America is
not only impregnaLle insofar as or
HIlitaty force is c0lcerned but what
IS perhaps more important in this con-
hectlon she is quite obviously inpr. q
naoIe. We.could, 1t is true, lestroy her
navy lombard her PORTS, blockade her
coasts, but in so doing we would create
position far more onerous for our
selves than for her, for while she
would be embarrassed we should
starVe, Lancashire from lack of cot
ron. and other. parts of our population
from the high prices of food
Our finances would be chaotic from
the havoc which this state of war
would make with the British millions
sunk in American investments, while
America, self-contained in her own
continent, would be much less seriously
hit. She does not depend upon foreign
she mas already secured. Her foreign
trade is but a drop in the bucket COM
pared to her internal trade. She can
far better afford to be locked in than
we can afford to be locked out Her
navy serves no earthly purpose con-
nected with any vital function of her
national life.
BY bombarding her coast towns we
could do some damage, but not much,
as all bonn bardm ents would prove to
be against the property which is main
ly ours, and for which, in The end, our
insurance companies would have to
pay. Beyond that there is ncthing. for

Farmer" Smith Wants to Strike Blow
for His Party.

Farmer A. W. Smith, who has returned
from speaking trip in southeastern Kan
sas, has read Chairman j. N. Dolley' s
challenge of the personal records of toe
candidates and offers to contribute his
services in advising the Kansas voters
to the things that the Bull Moose can

In fact Smith is 50 enthusiastic over Dol
ley's plan that he offers to devote has
own time and spend a little money to
learn a few things about the candidates
that might be overlooked by the the
chairman of the state committee.
In plain ordinary, every day Kansas
language, Smith proposes to take the
stump for two months and tell some
things about the Progressives that are
not intended to increase their popular
vote in the November election. Smith has
taken the bit in his mouth and wants to
get right into the midst of the fight.
When Congressman Jackson made his
harmony talk to the party council, it
aroused the pension agent and Smith in
tends to go right into Jackson's home dis
trict and fulfill DOlleyS plan by telling
what he knows about Jackson. He will
do the same thing in some of the other
districts, including those of Brady, Rees,
Young and Murdoch. As for Stubbs,
Capper and the Prog-essives on the state
ticket Smith welcomes the chance to tell
what he knows

Both Are Real FIremen.
Big Charles right to be known as
a knight of the shovel was acquired
under conditions not quite SO pleasant
For thirteen long voyages he labored
in the stoke hole of a steamer, wal
lowing through the breezeless tropics
toward Australian ports.
When Charlie was breaking into the
boxing game as a volunteer sparring
partner and the visitors at the train
ing camps of champions and near
champions used to pity him for the
thumpings he received, he smiled
broadly and said:
This is strawberries and cream to
what I've been through
And he felt that way about it. A
crack in the mouth lands and is over
and done with. The simmering stoke
hole lasts day in and day out
So far as the training of the pugi-
listic fremen is concerned, the COM
plete story has been told. Flynn and
Miller are in the best condition and
tho question of superiority between
them will be decided within very few
hours.
Miller Is a New One.
Miller, however, is brand new and
the large sized conundrurn in addition.
He has forged to the front through

powers of assimilation that are little

Moving Pictures of Wolgast- Rivers
Fight at Cozy.

The pictures of the Wolgast- Rivers
fight showing at the Cozy tonight and
Tuesday night are the best ever se1.t
out by a picture film firm. These pic
lures were shown at Kansas City 4
week or two ago and many Topeka
people saw them and came home with
the above verdict. In this light
weight battle for the championship
both fighters were knocked out in the
last round at almost the same time.
Wolgast, the champion, was given the
decision but the pictures show that
Rivers had the best of the battle.
The films are clear and fine. There
has never been such a remarkable re-
production of a great fight since the
moving picture business was founded.

his arm back after, missing. The POSSIBLE
tiles that Turk in his thick arms and
brawny fists have been nkened to a Nj
agara of force that only requires har-
Messing to make it terribly effective.
Miller's friends, and he has many, say
that once he gains an adequate idea of
distance and direction he will prove a
world beaten. They believe he has a
g1immering of these things already and
that there is a fair prospect of the fact
being made patent in today's match
Even those who are dubious about Miller
becoming one of the earth's wonders in
the fighting line are willing to admit that
an accidental punch from big Charlie
would topple a pugilistic kingdom any
time.
1t is the possibility of this chance that
is lending an air of uncertainty to the out
come of today's heavyweight encounter.
