JESUS, THE LIGHT
OF THE WORLD
Extract From Sermon Preached by
Rev. G. H. Kamphoefner at
the M. E. Church.

In "a strong and able sermon
preached Sunday morning at the
Methodist church on Jesus. the
Light OF the World" Rev. c. H.
Kamphoefner said that Jesus was
the light of the world because he
sheds the Hight we so much need in
our deepest darkness our ignorance
of ourselves, of his Fatherhood, OF
his love and of his, forgiying mercy.
Speaking OF the man born blind to
whom Jesus gave the gift OF sight,
he said that Jesus was still giving
sight to men, and that for a greater
blindness Of mems
hearts 80
Reference was made in the ser
mon to quotation by one DR.. Fred
erick w. Millar. in a local newspa-
per about month ago. on the
change in religious views in our
country, in which, among other
things, appeared the following:
"The blinds of superstition have
been torn away; Adams fall, mans
depravity, the old plan of redemp-
tion, the scheme of redemption, end
less suffering, election and predesti-
nation, together with many other
giants that did valiant service In
the past have been relegated to the
theological scrap-pile." One can not
but admire the self-assurance, said
Mr.. Kamphoefner, with which this
man disposes of the theological doc
trines by the job-lot, getting rid Of
them as easily as printer would
cast lot Of old type into the hell
box. 1t is not necessary. he said,
that one should be held as sponsor
for all these doctrines. But one of
the doctrines at least, mans deprav-
ity. has by no means gotten to the
theological scrap pile, for 1t still has
not only the weight Of Biblical reve-
lation, bnt the deep conviction OF
mans own heart. Nor need the fact
of depravity be construed as total
depravity. Good and evil are stern
realities in every mans life.
Referring to increasing light
which Jesus Is giving to the world,
the speaker commented upon the fact
that the first president OF the new
Chinese Republic. DR.. Sun Vat Sen,
is a Christian, and Christian Of the
second generation at that He said
that 1t meant much to have a man
like DR.. Sun, only forty-six years OF
age, and a man of sterling integrity
and the highest ideals. to give direc-
tion to the policies Of the new re-
public. 1t will probably prove to be
very important step forward In
Christian civilization.

Cincinnati, Feb. 3.--"The real 'hoboes'
are the Wall street who are living
OF the peoples table and for whom the
world is making a living. In that sense,
Rockefeller. Morgan and the Vanderbilts
are 'hoboes, said Miss Cora Harvey
of Kansas City, ex-recorder of Logan
county, Okla, who is acting as secre-
tary of the hobo" uplift convention,
now meeting in Cincinnati.
The convention began at 10 a. m.
after j. Eads How, the presi

had spent four hours borrowing, begging
and buying enough chairs in which to
seat the delegates, who came from all
quarters of the country. There were
about 900 knights of the Road" in at

A resolution was presented condemn
ing the Aldrich currency plan. Adop

affirmed, would bring revolution. The

MIR. Fitch Sharply Criticises the
Corporation
BEFORE STANLEY COMMITTEE
His Opinion Similar to That of Brandeis'
The Company's Enormous Power
a Menace to the
Country.

Washington, Feb. 3--John A. Fitch
the labor investigator who was retained
by Charles NJ. Cabot of Boston, heavy
stakeholder in the steel corporation, to
study the physical social and indus
trial conditions of the steel trust, tes-
titled before the Stanley committee yes
terday morning. Mr.. Fitch worked for
the Russell Sage Foundation on the
"fittsburg survey" for two years. He
read a paper which was an elaborate
analysis OF the most important phases
OF the steel industry. His testimony
was similar to that given by Louis d.
Brandeis of Boston, who criticised the
United States Steel corporation atti.
tude toward labor and conditions under
which men work in its mills.
Mr. Fitch discussed the profit sharing
plan OF the steel corporation, its pen
sion policy and its relief for injured
workmen to the disadvantage of the
company. He dwelt on methods al
legged to be employed by the company
to discourage labor unionism and said
they were inimical to the best inter
ests of the laborer. THE steel cor
poration yields such an enormous pow
er that ii is a menace to the country
said Mr.. Fitch at the conclusion Of
his statement Conditions of work in
the steel mills are demoralizing Think
ing -blooded workingmen do not care
as much about welfare work as they
do their rights. They are not as anx-
icus for sanitation as they are for JUS
tice" Representative Gardner of Mas
sacmsetts cross-examined the witness.

PNEUMONIA DUE TO A

Rockefeller Institute Experimenters Pro-
duce a Similar Disease In
Dogs.

New York Feb. 3.The Rockefeller
institute announced Thursday that it
lad succeeded at last in producing pneu-
monia experimentally-th proving,
so the experts OF the institute say,
the pneumonococcus While that has
long been theory there has not been
direct proof of it until now.
The institute experiments, made by
DR. r. v Lamar and Dr. S. j. Meltzer
% the Rockefeller laboratories, are de-
he'd in the Journal Of Experimental
Medicine, out Thursday.
All the experiments We're made upon
dogs. The method consisted in inject
ing pure cultures of the organisms taken
from human patients into the lungs
OF the dogs Forty eight animals were
used. In AZ of the animals pneumonia
was produced by the pneumonococcus in
iections. Ten of the dogs died, "a
were killed within from one to twelve
days. and four several weeks after the
injection.
"The fatal cases" say the expert
mentors, "resembled closely lobar pneu.
monia in man In the non-fatal cases
the pathological and meteorological find
ings were again in accord with-the find
ings in man. Clincally. however, the
cases of non-fatal experimental pneu-

The dogs lungs were clogged Just
like pneumonia stricken human lungs.

ing better all the time"
you would imply that a great deal
of solid political work was put in for
President Taft all over the country

quired The Transcript correspondent.
Il would. A great deal Of work has
been put in for him." replied Mr.. Sher-
man. But ! am more sure now OF the
denomination Of the president than |
have been all along. No one with a
grain of political sense could think 9th
erwise than he would be renominated."
How about the results in Novem-
ber?"
The e-president paused moment
and lifted his forefnger while his eyes
twinkled.
''The Republican party wins its vic
tories IN November, not in February
or july" returned the vieepresident
sententiously.
Oyster Bays political wires appear to
be badly crossed Judging from the re-
ports that Colonel Roosevelt is "elated"
over the outcome of the primaries in
Indiana and is counting ON the majority
Of the delegates from the Hoosier state.
Direct information coming to Washing
ton from various Indiana sources EN-
phatcalIy contradicts the stories of any
such outlook. For example, former SEN
ator James A. Hemenway Of Indiana
was a caller at the White House yes
terday morning and said to the news
paper men that out of sixty-fve eoun-
ties in his state only one has declared
for Roosevelt At the recent first dis
trict convention the resolutions indors-
ing President Taft were of the most
unequivocal character and were unan
mously adopted.
Many Republican senators and repre-
stntatives called at the House yester
day to congratulate President Taft on
the general favorable outlook for his
They all took occasion
to commend the speeches he made in
Ohio The question Of establishing Taft
headquarters here and possibly in Chi
cage was discussed by the president

it is immaterial whether such headquar-

Group Ends Life
Many Children Die of Group Every Year
Before Doctor Can Be Summoned.

Parents of children should be pre-
pared at all times for a spasm of Group.
Keep in the house remedy that will
give instant relief and keep the child
from choking until the arrival of the
physician.
Get a 50-cent bottle of HYOMEI to-
day and in case of an attack of Group
pour 20 drops into a kitchen bowl Of
boiling water. Hold the child's head over
the bowl, so that it can breathe the
soothing, penetrating vapor that arises.
In the meantime send for a physician.
This treatment has saved the lives of
many children and is precaution that
all parents should promptly take.
HY0MEI is sold by the Red Cross
Pharmacy and druggists everywhere and
is guaranteed for Group, catarrh, asthma
and bronchitis.

LABOR NOTES OF
WIDE INTEREST
A Plea Made for Wider Recognition
of the Union Label by Union
Men Themselves.

When we take into consideration the
great amount of advertising that is done
for the union label, we must admit that
the various union labels are not sup
ported as they ought to be. The organ
lied working forces of this country. I'M
der the banner of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, spend one billion and a
half annually If that be so, let us ask
ourselves the solemn question, Is the
labor movement of this country true to
itselfY With that great purchasing pow
er of one billion and a half dollars, we
ought to show some results. If this
great number of men and women were
true to the labor movement, what would
it mean? It would mean the organic
ing of every great industry in the eoun-
try Look at the small amount of union
made cigars and tobacco that is being
sold in this country of ours. To-day
in this country collars, ties, shirts, UNI
derwear, suspenders, garters socks, cuff
and collar buttons are to be purchased
with the union label. In this country
we have only thirty union collar makers.
Tell me, Is it possible for that number
to supply the union men of this country
with collars? No, not ON your life!
If we would support the label con-
sistently, our conditions would be better
than they are. If we were to cooperate
with the Women's Trade Union Label
league, we would be better off. The big
department stores of this country are
the kindergartens for the red light dis
tricts. If you would educate your wivea
and sisters and daughters to shun the
bargain lists sent out by those stores
and not purchase anything unless it
had the stamp of honest toll we would
soon take the little girls out of the
sweat shops and nonunion factories. We
must get down to business and pursue
that course.
Finally, | want to appeal to all union
men. If you are consistent in support
ing the label of your own and other
trades, the day will not be far distant
when the labor movement of the country
will be big enough and broad enough
and generous enough to settle their po-
litical affiliations. / hope the day is
not far distant when the men of toll
will serlItinize the men who seek their
suffrage and ask what do you stand
for? Do you stand for manhood? Do
you stand for womanhood? Do you
stand for taking out of the MILL the
mine and the workshop the little boys
and girls and putting them in the schools
and on the Fairgrounds where they be-
long? If you stand for these things and |
stand for laws that will be better for /
mankind in general, you are entitled to
our suffrage otherwise you are not
