CHARLIE BEN
DOUBLE BANKED

Charlie Ben, who was convicted in
the police court of having committed
assault and battery on his wife under
rather provoking circumstances, and
who appealed to the circuit court
from the fine of ten dollars and costs
assessed against him by Judge Mon
sarrat, had a sad, sad experience on
Monday After hearing the evidence
in the case Judge Robinson also con-
cluded that Charlie Ben was guilty.
But that made it all the worse for
Charlie, for, instead of merely con-
firming the sentence imposed by the
police magistrate, Judge Robinson
more than doubled the fine. He as
sessed Charlie Ben $25 and costs.
Charlie Ben was broke and couldn't
pay, so the judge informed him that
he could work it out, under the es-
pionage of Tailor Asch, at the rate
of one simoleon per diem.

STAY At HOME"
MISSIONARIES

SAN FRANCISCO, May %, - At
the annual conference OF the Young
Womens Christian Association at
Pleasanton today, the home mission
question was treated at length in the
address of Rev. John Willis Baer,
president of Occidental College. DR..
Baer said in part: America is fast
becoming great foreign mission
field through the influx of immigrants
Young women, you don't have to go
across the seas for a missionary field.
across the seas is coming to you.
Give yourself in order that others
may have a chance.
The country is becoming one of
unusual life and enterprise.
"Jingoism is giving way to the re-
sponsibility of making this Gods
country.
THE country is becoming one vast
missionary field. In my estimation
Utah is the most difficult field in the
world for Christian missionary work.
The call from that district for help
is as keen as it ever was.
Then the Indian is waiting for an
opportunity to respond to the up
lifted cross; for respond he will if
you give him a chance.
The mountain districts would keep
you twisting and turning by the OPP
portunities offered if you really knew
the mining and lumber camps.
Consider for moment the incom-
ing tide of immigration. With the in
flux of Chinese and Japanese on this
coast the question is liable to be not
What we are going to do with them
but What they are going to do with
us. And if you do not Americanize
and Christianize the European immi
grants they will Europeanize us"

go there is naught to do but 60
but to exercise the prerogative, the
right, in defiance of orderly proce-
dure in practice and theory, would
disrupt the government. Public men.
judges, or what not, are not faultless
at all times, but it stands to reason
that they are much better fitted to
serve the people than the people
themselves en- masse. Many of those
now tossing up their hats for Mr..
Roosevelt have not thought of his
recent utterances on government
They only see the much beloved Ted
dy, and it's aplenty.
While We the colored or dark
skinned race can very we'll afford to
waive the difference between pres
ident w. H. Taft and ourselves, the
greater thing, the country, is to be
preserved and through it comes our
preservation-meaning the American
negro, the Hawaiian and the Filipino,
who are a part and parcel of the u.
S. A., whose racial differences will
have to be fought along other lines.
The campaign for president is dis
tinctly different. Whoever becomes
ptesident-Taft, Roosevelt, Wilson or
Clark-or possibly w. J. Bryan-the
same old racial quarrel will remain
and not reduce an iota or title.
President Taft is a fine expression
OF an American citizen; all along he
has shown clearly, that he was con-
tent to be merely president of the
country and not its Caesar. Mr.
Roosevelt wants more ginger m the
business-he had an excess amount.
II made him picturesque at the time,
true enough, but he has gone a few
PAGES too far in demonstrating what
he would do the next time. For the
good of the American republic let
Us hope there will be no next time,
for if there is it may be indefinite
and then goodbye to our cherished
idea of a republic.
Mr.. Taft has been cautious and
conservative, barking back to some
of the great presidents with their alb.
sence of hurrah and furry. We are
rot prepared to repudiate George
Washington in toto, or Thomas JEFF
ferson, or Benjamin Harrison, in types
of presidential dignity individuals
who thought more of the chair than
themselves. Mr. Taft has urged ey.
cry reform worthwhile suggested by
his predecessor. He has prosecuted

need for prophets, priests or kings,
for each will possess these Offices
within himself. Following this line
of reasoning there surely will be no
need of bishops, for each will be his
own bishop; as st. Paul puts it, each
will be law unto himself" In the
meantime. however desirable organic
union may seem to some to be -
which indeed is very questionable-it
will not, and in the very nature OF
the case, cannot ever be realized; but
on the contrary, as people more and
more think for themselves, instead of
having their thinking done for them
by bishop. priest or preacher, divi-
sions will continue to increase. Rom
anism has proposed the only possible
solution for organic union, and that is
bv giving over all our religious think
inc into the hands of the priesthood
of that church, but this is not pos
sible solution because the people will
never submit to this.
Church federation is long step in
the right direction, providing the mo-
tive in federating is an unselfish one,
otherwise it is demoralizing. Suppos-
ing the motive to be true, federation
will tend not only to purifying com
munities by eliminating the various
social evils, but will also tend to the
development of real christian brother
hood, and thus to the raising of the
standard of the churches spiritual
ity.

OPEN BULKHEADs CAUSED
SINKING OF.TITI

LONDON, May 8. A startling fea-
ture of today's inquiry into the Titanic
disaster was that according to the
evidence of Thomas Dillon, of the en-
gineer's department, four of the water
tight bulkheads were opened by the
engineers order after they had been
closed by the bridge and were left
open.
The president of the Seamen's and
Firemens Union declared that the tes-
timony supported his theory that if
the bulkheads had not been opened
the after part of the ship would have
supported the hull at least until help
could have been secured.

WHY WE SHOULD
STAND FOR TAFT.
HARMONY.


Editor Star: The contest between
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Roosevelt for pres
idency has reached a very acute stage
and none the better for the country.
The thoughtful are very much dis
turbed to know that it is even posi-
Bile to have such state of affairs as
confronts us at this time. AS we see
it, Mr. Roosevelt, trading on his pop
ularity, is solely responsible, and not
President Taft, who has been pursu-
ing the even tenor of his way, gov
erning the country according to the
laws and the principles of the party
that elected him to Office. AS great,
forceful and ofttimes constructive as
Mfr. Roosevelt is, he is not beyond
making mistakes. He insists on see
Ing things wholly from his own view
point, when it is not given to any
one man to have all the wisdom of
his parity He is also mistaken in
thinking that popularity is sign of
demand. If not mistaken he is wrong
in thinking it is well-founded demand.
He should be politician and stateman
enough to know that the uprising in
his favor is more effervescent than
otherwise.
There are men that are guided by
their passions rather than by reason.
In such times as these, and such
cases, the former class are not the
truest indices of what's best for the
country, and answering to a demand
in the best sense. The profoundest
judgment of the wisest and most sin
cere should rule when selecting those
who are to shape the career and poll
cies of a great nation. We had the
most respect for ex-President Roose-
welt. Concededly he is a brilliant man,
but by no means the safest man for
the Office he seeks. Judging by APP
pearances, and appearances are all
that we have as a guidance in the
matter, it is plain that he is obsess-
ed with the notion that he can do
things better than anyone else-that
he can get things done better-that
after him there are very few others,
if any at ALL, Such is the picture
he paints, or presents to the entire
world. Judging from his more recent
activities the faint was always there,
but formerly in a saving degree,
lending novelty to him as a Pres
iGent, and which gave rise in part to
his popularity, but it has been highly
developed in the recent past, until
Mr.. Roosevelt and egotism are quite
the same thing. The vicious princi-
rio of recall is of the spirit of repu-
diation, either imputing dishonesty to
men selected to carry out the will Of
the people or inability to do So Eth
err way it is viewed the people flatter-
ca in the old way, that they are ex'
perts in such matters, notwithstand-
ing the fact that they take but little
thought of such things, being at their
various occupations as they should be
and permitting those of special train
in6 to represent them.
Mr.. Roosevelt trades on principle
that the people are the government,
that they are king, and so they are in
one sense of the word, If they say

Friday afternoon, November l,
the teachers of the graded school,
aided by some other ladies' of the
town, will hold a baby show in the
rooms of the library for the pur-
pose OF raising money TO improve
the interior of the graded school
building. As one of the most attract
i've features Of the county fair, the
committee of ladies who have charge
of the parades are planning for a
baby carriage parade in the arena at
the fair grounds. As the two will
not conflict in any particular, the
mothers of Edgefeld should have
their babies participate in both, the
baby show in the library and in the
parade two weeks later at the fair
grounds.

ia The Young Man Safe?"

The above is the text of last Sun
days sermon in the Presbyterian
church by the Rev. E. G. Bailey.
Having given the history of Da-
vid the father, and Absalom, the
son, whose life depicted in the down
fall, had promised such bright
future, the speaker proceeded to
show when a young woman and
young man is not safe, but in
great danger. He showed that Da-
vid was truly penitent of his sins,
but penitence did not save him from
suffering the consequences of the
sins of his youth; for he reaped an
harvest of sorrow in the life of his
favorite child, Absalom. No one
can read the 18th chapter of End
Samuel said he, without being
solemnly impressed with the fact
that fathers and mothers reap in
their children what they sowed in
their youth; and that we would all
meet our lives either in this world
or in the next. He said that all of
the sorrows of life were insignif-
cant compared with the disgrace
brought upon US by our children;
that there were many forces to drag
the youth of the land into hell; that
the ambition ola bad person was to
get others on their level; and that
to such persons nothing is sacred.
He said David was anxious about
this child because he knew what
this child inherited from the pa
rents, and was somewhat anticipat-
ing trouble, as result. Men do
not gather grapes of thorns'' nei-
ther can a Goddess parent expect
good children, without the interpo-
sition of grace. Many parents
of this county will repeat
