 He died a poor man; poor in the accumulation of property or wealth. but left that which is more enduring than gold--a fame which will grow brighter as the days go by and a legacy of brilliant distinguished pub lie service.
 q distinctly remember the first time 1 ever gazed upon the Senate of the United States in session. In that illus trious body were many of the men whose names adorn the brightest pages of our history. There sat George and Walthal of Mississippi. Garland of Arkansas, Harris of Tennessee. Gordon of Georgia. Daniel of Virginia. Hoar of Ma ssa chusetts, Vorhees of Indiana, Ed munds of Vermont and many others equally distinguished, and yet amidst that great array of senators there was none who ranked higher than Morgan of Alabama When l looked upon his clear-cut. classical features and heard the silver tones of his voice and watched the grace and dignity of his bearing, I could but feel thrill of pride that he was a representative of my native state. He filled my idea of what a Roman senator was In the palmy days of that great empire when Rome had embraced all the habitable parts of the world. Though he was d democrat >AsASl to the principles of the party, A was above all an American.

For the enlightment Of these followers
Of his who care and dare to think for
themselves we quoted the teachings Of
Beha Ullah as answers.
Thira--As we are seeking justice and
fair dealing our purpose Of quoting the
Sacred texts as answers was, to show
everybody the reason why we question
Abdul BAHIA.
Fourth BY thus doing, we gave him
and his followers time enough to study
these differences that they might pre-
pare the answers for defence, before
holding the meetings of the conference.
Fifth-If Abdul BAHIA have the spirit
Of Christ in him, he will never refuse
to establish peace with his own blood
and flesh and also with the followers Of
the faith. But he will boldly come for
ward and do what Christ did in the
Temple, when ne proved from the
Scriptures to the priests the soundness
Of His standing and understanding.
Sixth-Abdul- BAHIA is not teaching
Behaism nor the fundamental principles
of religion. Read the article published
in e|The Continent May both, 1912,
entitled "Abbas Effendi, the Bahaist
Leader by William T. Ellis.
seventh-We asked and answered
these questions, to protect Behaism
from destruction. For, if the teachings
and claims of Abdul-Baha were true,
and there is reality in his bitter at
tacks published in this country against
his innocent brother, Mohammed Ali
Efendi, who was chosen by Beha Ullah
to occupy after Abdul-Baha, the same
position which was given to Abdul
BAHIA, it would be a necessity to CON
clude, that Behaism is farce, because
the founder Of the religion, Bella Ullah
did not know what he was talking
about in his teachings as we'll as in ap-
pointing Ali Effendi after Abdul BAHIA.
More than twelve years past since /
began to correspond with Mohammed
Ali Efendi and have received from him
scores of letters. If you read these
letters you cannot find one unzind word
against his brother, Abdul-Baha. This
shows plainly the great difference of
the spirits of these two men.
| close this letter THANKING you sin
eerely for publishing this also, in your
esteemed paper, / remain,
Very respectfully yours,

LEADER REFUSED TO ANSWER
HAS No Unkind Words for Abdul-B
but Wants Differences in Faith Clear
ed Away by Holding a Conference
Which Would Bring Peace to Sect.
(From Mondays DaiIy)

DR.. l. G. Kheiralla through the Ke-
nosha society of the Behaists has
given out a new challenge to members
Of the sect who differ with his views
in regard TO the teachings of the faith
and he has issued a new letter to the
opposition through this paper. The
letter follows:
The Editor Of the Kenosha Evening
News, Kenosha, Wisconsin.
Dear Sir:-
! beg to inform you that the open
letter published in your valuable paper,
which was sent to Abdul-Baha from his
nephew shua Ullah Effendi, was severe
ly criticised by some people, as they do
not know why we asked the questions
and answered them at the same time.
In answer we say, this was done for the
following reasons:
First-Before the flight of Abdul
BAHIA from the seat of the Father, the
city of Akka, he was asked time and
time again by his younger brother, Mo
manned Ali Effendi, to hold confer
ence of peace on the sacred tomb Of the
father and settle these questions of
difference between the two parties.
These efforts failed, for every time Alb
dul-Baha refused to hold such confer
ence, (Read facts for Behaists).
Second Since Abdul-Bah departed
from the teachings and the command
ments of the Father till the present day,
ne practieed cleverly the policy of keep
ing his followers from knowing what
the Father taught regarding these ques-
tions and many other questions besides.
