PULPIT SLANG STARTLES
THE STAID THE0LOGIANS

Atlanta, Ca, June 1S.-Pulpit slang
has gradually come to be regarded as
commonplace as any. other kind OF
slang, and people are getting ustd
to hearing nearly as much of it from
the pulpit as in the baseball bleach
ers, but the Georgia preacher who
came to a Methodist conference hire
the other day and declared his belief
that every man has kot to scotch his
way into heaven" created sensation
which has not yet died away.
The idea of a man scarmbling with
hands, feet teeth and toe-nails to
climb over the Jasper wall instead of
floating on wings of ease through the
yearly gate was something of new
ore to local theologians. They doubt
whether of not such a method of en-
tering paradise would be dignified, and
suggest that perhaps a little Of the
sood old-fashioned faith in the atom
ing power of the blood of Jescs Christ
will help a sinner more on his last
day than all the "scotching" the most
agile soul can indulge in.

district attacking Congressman Hinds
because he says the latter voted
against the federal income tax bill.
What is the income tax scheme as
applied to the State of Maine? Our
State has about three-fourths of one
per cent of the population of the ma
ton, its wealth is equal to FIVE tinars
that percentage. We :. means
mean? In plain prgiish it Mr..
that an income tax such UGH So support
O Brien ,w9fer' states; it means that
the State of Maine would be compelled
to pay four collars to such states as
Alabama, Arkansas. Mississippi and
ether southern states for each one doll
lar that size would get for her benefit
In other words seventy-five per cent
of the income tax collected in this
State would be expended outside of
the State. This is Socialism,; it is
nothing short of contiscation of a part
of the wealth of the State of Maine
for the benefit of the South and other
parts of this country that have Il
population that have never been noted
for thrift. The people Of Maine have
from the first been a thrifty people,
their savings bank deposits show the
largest percentage OF any common
wealth in this or any other country.
Blessed with less natural resources
than many of the western and south
ern states. yet, by hard work, enter
prise and thrift, our people have ae-
cumulated vast wealth. Mr. oBrien
tells US that if he is elected to Con-
gress he will vote to confiscate Il
part of this wealth for the benefit Of
those other states that have been
lacking in thrift, enterprise or labor
The argument for State income tax
is sound. We need our money to de-
velop the State of Maine; we want
better roads, better State institutions
and more of them for our unfortu-
mates; more money for cur schools and
colleges. in word we want all the
taxes we can get for the benefit OF
the people of our good old state OF
Maine. and we don't want our money
to go to Arkansas or any other lar
away community. No loyal citizen OF
Maine would ever advocate law
that will take three dollars out of the
State for each one dollar that would
remain in the State, and this is just
what Candidate O'Brien says he Will
vote for if he goes to Congress.
Will you send him there? We think

Patta ngall was a Republican member

charges were made against the Re
publican party identical with those
Mr.. Pattangall is now himself making,
he replied to them as follows:
To-day in spite of the charge of eX-
trayaganee made against the Repuo-
lican administration of Maine by gen.
tlemen on the floor of this House, the
State tax is lower than 1t has ever
been since the year 1852, with the SIN
pie execution of two years during the
administration of Henry y. cleaVes'
hechuse in the last twenty years we
hart devised that system of Indirect
taxation, because we nave sought
methods and means for spending the
money for the good OF the people Oh
Maine. not taken directly from them.
We have been enabled to do IN Maine
for the schools and for the roads OF
tho state at large more than we ever
could have done under the OLD system
of dirct taxation, and when men tell
ahol,t the increasing expenditures OF
the State, and attribute it to the eX-
trayagance of that party to which a
majority of us belong, they should IN
the same breath, if they are to be talf
about it, state also that the State tax
has been reduced. / believe the eX-
penditures have been wisely increased
and whether they have or not, the
| burden of the increase has not fallen

| the manufacturers. 1t has fallen II

devised as to reach best that surplus

The Democratic Swan Song

What he Candidate Haines) says
he will do, he Will do we are told
by his supporting organs. But the
trouble with Haines is that he will
not say what he will do on the most
important issue in State politics. He
says he is for prohibition and enforce
ment: but not q word has he to say
about the kind of enforcement, or
what method, plan or legal machinery
he has in view to make it thoroughly
effective. You cannot get Haines to
commit himself to any definite pro-
gramme of enforcement though you
prod him with a pitchfork. In his
speeches in the rural districts he
emits you the usual prohibitionst rant
and cant, but carefully confines him
self to congratulations. You cannot
pin him down to any specific plan of
enforcement. In the cities he touches
upon the subject as lightly as possible
or leaves it severely alone Portland
