AN UNCLE JOE STORY.
Told by One of the Leading Members
of the officer 6e6 Company.

Daniel Hamilton, otherwise Alfred Viii
son, III Officer 666. relates an interesting
anecdote, which goes to prove that there
are some pretty good actors off the stage.
"Once upon Il time. when | was beating

In striking $4,000, 900 from the rev
enue by repeating the sugar duties the
Democrats 90 only part way in their
scheme of revenue reduction, for their
free list and their reductions on other
articles will bring the total deficit to
at least $1OO,OOO,0OO and possibly TO
$150,000,000. Part of this enormous
loss they propose to make up with an
income tax but, according to observa-
bic symptoms, they do not dare to ear
ry this tax down to where the man
with a small income will be made to
feel that he is being taxed. They figure
that they can exempt incomes of less
than $4,000 year and still have votes
enough to reflect their Congress and
their president in 1914 and 1916. Even
with their income tax they still have
from fifty to one hundred millions {
year to raise to make up their cuts
and this they expect to gain by a flooC
of imports which will displace just 81
much of American products. If The
income tax could be carried down t
where it strikes most of the voters, tn,
Democratic scheme of finance probabl,
would be more intelligently appreciat
ed by the country.

One of the most interesting contests
that the Democrats have to face is
that for the Newport collectorship.
The candidates are Jacob G. Ullery of
Brattleboro, G. Herbert Pape of Barre
and c. A. Bancroft of Newport. Of
the three Mr. Ullery is undoubtedly
the best known and viii win if the
ease depends on backing for he has
more endorsements than both the 9th
ers.
The situation, however, seems to be
little peculiar. UIlerv has been a
Democratic worker for nearly thirty
years, but tried to keep out of diff
Guilty by not taking sides in the pres
ent disagreement to any extent and
managed the publicity end of the Dem
ocratic campaign last summer.
1t looks a little as though the lead
ers of both factions oppose Ullery,
! because of his not taking sides either
{ way and that Pape and Bancroft will
/ be the candidates respectively of the
/ two factions with Mr.. Ullery on the
outside with the backing of hundreds
/ of the leading Democrats of the state
and many Republicans also.
With this backing and with the
facts as they are that Mr. UlIery, by
his wide business and political expert
ence, tact and knowledge of affairs, i.
much better fitted for the place THAI
are the gentlemen who are opposed tt
him, it will be of interest to see what
effect the fractional fight has on hi,
chances

Yale's New Law Professor.
New York World, |

Mr.. Taft taking up his duties as
Kent professor of law at Yale univer-
sity is an object of national interest
and respect. y fine and dignified fig
ure is presented by the former Presi-
dent who quits his high Office for the
classroom.
His choice Of an occupation is char
acteristic Of the modesty and simple
itv OF the man. If Mr.. Taft wished
to trade on his name and to barter his
prestige and power for financial gain
there is almost no price he could not
command. That he prefers to devote
his great talents to the service of :
university and the instruction OF you'll
is proof OF a rare integrity OF pur
pose.
There is, after all, something inspir
ing in democratic institutions under
which an occupant of the chief mag
istracy is found willing to reinquisi
the power of place for a college pro
fessorship at a modest salary. No
Yale alone but the whole country i
to he congratulated on the fact.

After his great service in saving
life and giving aid to stricken Dayton
it is most natural that friends and
neighbors are swift to ask for a par
don for john Fl. Patterson, who has
been sentenced to year in prison for
establishing q cash register monopoly.
Under the circumstance the president
is most likely to give the pardon.
But it should be understood that the
same capacity that made him swift to
sec and do where others were stun
ned, was what made it possible for
Mr.. Patterson to build up his mOnop-
oily in business. Victory is to the able
whether it is in building up monopolies
or saving life They know how and
when to act.

A Sample Graduate From One OF
Our Great Missionary Colleges.

THE American Missionary Society main
talns three magnificent colleges IN Iur-
key. one at Smyrna, one at Beyrut, and one
IN Constantinople.
The teachers in these large colleges are all
native Americans. They went abroad at big
salaries, but mainly for the glory of God.
Like w. j. Bryan, our Mountebank Secre-
tary of State, these American teachers are
not in it for the money, yet, nevertheless,
they will quit unless the money stays in it.
So they are paid handsome salaries, with
strict punctuality, and thus they are kept at
work in the foreign field, and for the glory
of God
Those colleges, we are told, are "conducted
on the best educational lines" The students
who get the benefit are Greeks, Armenians
and Jews.
One of the graduates of our college at
Smyrna recently came under my gratifed
eyes. His name is George Lampros. He is
Greek
George was educated in our missionary col
lege, and was given his diploma two years
ago.
What did George then do? Why, he came
to this land of two-legged curiosities and
went to working as cashier in Greek restau-
rant in Montgomery. Alabama.
Thus we have another illustration of the
ridiculous to the sublime.
However, Georges ambition still scars.
Not satisfied with having become cashier in
an eat-shop in Montgomery, after having
graduated out of our foreign missionary col
lege in Turkey, George says he intends to
enter the Polytechnic Institute of Alabama.
After that, he means to go to Europe and
study at some great engineering schools Of
the Old World.
In the meantime, this graduate of our
great missionary college in Turkey, is receiv-
ing cash and making the change in "down
town" eat-shop in Montgomery, Alabama.
Brethren! Will you please think about
this sample case of missionary work?
PLEASE DO!
It is admitted that no religious teaching is
done in our Missionary Colleges in Turkey.
The puzzle is
Why is Foreign Mission money spent on
literary, non-religious education in Turkey! z

And, if the religious schools can begin to
get Government aid, on that pretense, how
long will it be until the Government gives
other aid, besides Sdl0qied teachers and public
stores?
The Secretary gives me list of the reli-
glous schools that are now getting this Co..
e47u1aent aid.
They are
Ouachita College, Arkadelphia, Arkansas.
This IS q Baptist institution.
Hang your heads in confusion, oh, We Old
Landmark Baptists
AS my remarks on this subject might be
indictable under the Pure Food Law, [ refer
the case to Rev. j. A. Scarboro Of Magnolia,
Arkansas
Then there is the Concordia College, of
Fort Wayne, Indiana.
This religious school is also teaching boys
how to kill; and it is receiving Government
aid in that NOBLE Christlike purpose.
Next comes Rutgers College, of New
Brunswick, New Jersey. This religious
school is catalogued as "Reformed;" but as it
sought and got Government aid it needs
another reformation.
Then came the niggers Oh, you can't
leave the poor, down-trodden, black man!
Not in this country, anyway.
Whatever Cutie sees his white brother
doing, Cutie wants to do. And it is dollars
to doughnuts that he does 1t, too
Well, the Colored folks have Colored Col
lege at Wilberforce in Ohio, and these col
ored people thought they might as we'll have
their boys taught how to kill, in thor
oughly governmental and Christian manner.
So, they applied for U. S. Army officer.
They got him. They also applied for the
guns and ammunition your money had paid
for. They got it.

niger school is classed by our Democratic
Secretary as ''Southern Methodist"
The subject being delicate one, hereby
pass it up to Dear Doctor Lovett of the Wes-
leyan Christian Advocate paper which, as
| have been given to understand, is also
"Southern Methodist"
Now then, we come'to Poppa's foot kissers,
the Roman Catholics:
Our Democratic Secretary of State informs
me that the following of the Pope's schools
are being taught, in part, by U. S. Army Off
GERS, and supplied with U. S. Army supplies:
Marist College, Atlanta, Ga.
University of Notre Dame. Notre Dame,
College Of St. Francis Xavier, New York
City.
Thus, you see, the Pope has three of his
schools nicely lodged on your Government
expense account
Not single Presbyterian, or Episcopalian
school is grating on your pubic treasury
Not single Christian Church is doing it.
Not a single white Methodist school is
doing it!
But, already, three of the great Popish
institutions are feeding out of the public
crib.
Under Roosevelt, there was but one: under
Taft, there were two: but under the Demo
cratic Administration of Wilson, there are

What Is tEle Truth About Those
Secret Oaths and Obligations
Taken BY Roman Catholics?

OUR readers will remember that Victor j.
- Dorr, and dozen other Knights of
Columbus, citizens of Augusta, Georgia,
jumped into the columns of the Augusta
Chronicle, Just before an election, and bit
terly denied their guilt as to the alleged
knights of Columbus 4th degree oath.
The indignant Mr.. Dorr and his indignant
fellow traitors made the following PROPOSE
ton
They would show the 4th degree oath to
Reverends Ashley Jones, Howard Cree
and H. M. DuBose, and would forfeit
$1,000 to charity if those Protestant minis
ters found anything in the pledge that was
at variance with the duties and loyalty of
an American citizen.
That challenge was published in the
Chronicle two days before the State primary
election.
My reply to it was promptly sent in, and
could have appeared on the day before the
election, or on the morning of the election.
The Chronicle refused to publish my reply
to the attack made on me by Dorr and his
fellow traitors.
Therefore, Dorr ct al. got the full benefit
of their denial. There was no contradiction
to disturb the voters.
Now, will you believe it, that after Dorr
ct al, had published their solemn promise,
and named their men, they funlzed on the
whole business?
That is just what they did. Those men,
those white men, those Southern white gen
tlemen, those Christian Knights of Holy
Church, went into their holes, immediately
after their impudent bluff had served it's
purpose.
They have been repeatedly dared to keep
their word They have been tainted, and
jeered at, and Knocked and derided, because
of their ignominous back down!
But we can't get rise out of them. They
offered their forfeit to charity; they named
the men to whom they would show their 4th
degree OATH they pledged themselves to
show the oath and accept the verdict of those
three preachers.
Have they done it? No. indeed
Then what did they mean by their card
In the paper?
They meant to fool the easy going non
Catholics.
And they did 1t!
IF [, or any other reputable citizen. had
published what they did, and had then gone
back on it, without excuse, reason or expla-
nation what would have been thought of
us?
Over in North Carolina, another bunch Of
Victor DORIS are trying to bluff another non
Catholic publisher
These North Carolina DORIS are also offer
ing to put up money, and to show their 4th
degree oath.
THEY DIRE NOT DO IT!
They will never put up the money, and
they will never show that 18th degree oath.
Otherwise, victor j. Dorr and his fellow
, traitors would have put up the money-as
they ~zd-8afezy haze done, IT THE OATH
HAS NO TREASON Nv IT.
