WALL STREET SOUNDS ALARM

Those who are wont to decry the
"Wall street influence as delusion
of the demagogue are shutting their
eyes to force that is more active,
pernicious and dangerous to the gen
eral welfare than any other in Amer
lean affairs. 1t is force that works
while the voter sleeps and that never
rests or recedes in its efforts to con-
troll the national government, not on
ly through the chief executive, but
through congress and the courts.
The impeachment of Judge Arch
bold, who was appointed to head the
interstate commerce court by Presi-

MINISTER DENIES
NO HELL CLAIM

Little Rock, July 10.-In an an
swer to the statement of the Inter
national Bible Students Association
that there is no hell-fre and brim-
stone" Rev. r. l.. Selle, pastor of the
Scott Street Methodist church of Lit
tie Rock, says:
81 believe as firmly that there is a
literal hell as | do that there is a lit
eral heaven; and l believe as firmly
also that there is a personal devil as
| believe that there is personal God.
| believe that the Bible is Gods re
vealed will to man, and that he who
lives according to it's teachings will
through Jesus Christ, be saved in
heaven forever; and that he who does
not live according to its teachings
will, through the devil, be lost in
hell forever"

facts substantiate the conservative
and soundness of all the industrial
companies which have been subjected
to this procedure. His views regard
ing the reduction of the tariff will to
a considerable extent depend on the
amount of reduction on the manufac-
tured articles in this country that
have been instrumental in bringing
it to it's present state of prosperity
But if the future is to be judged by
the past, men with radical policies
that tend to revolutionize the bust
ness of a country in general have
usually failed to receive sufficient
votes to elect them, and they have
never attained the position that en-
abled them to make their policies op-
erative"
Here is a frank admission that the
Republican prosecution of trusts has
been a farce and that instead of pun
ishing these gigantic aggregations of
capital, the trusts have actually been
Immensely benefited by the suits to
dissolve them.
The fear that Democratic admin
istraton will not be so lenient and
the hope that the administration so
friendly to the interests will be CON

paragraph of the letter which says:
THE result of the coming political
contest could to some extent check
the industrial progress which is now
under way in the business world. But

power be successful at the polls next

than this country has seen in several

that certain business conditions

"Now that the Democratic party
