HeN said the audience did not look
as if they needed a temperance SER
mon. Individually they looked as if
they were morally upright, but polit-
cally they evidently needed enlight-
enment. He chose for his text Mat
thew 5:13 to II, stating that Christ
ians are the light of the world, the
salt OF the earth, and ought to dem
onstrate their righteousness at the
ballot box, if they had any, so that
common men and politicians could
see the difference, but that God Al
mighty's recording angel could not
tell the difference between a ballot
voted by some Christians and one
voted by saloonkeeper or a thug
Further, he said, some preachers talk
for the Lord and vote for the devil,
and don't seem to know the differ
ence. They try to tell you that they
don't mix politics with their religion,
but | want to tell you that no mans
religion is right when his politics are
not right and the whole life and in
fluence cannot be right unless all the
parts are right Were Jesus here to-
day he would not keep out OF politics,
but he would enter it as fully as he
entered all the opportunities for SER
vice in his time, for Christ esteemed
men of more value than money and
daughters above dollars. Today men
esteem dollars and business above
morals, religion or industrial condi-
tions; but what they should do was
to apply the principles of Jesus
Christ to these practical things of
life. Men are elected to office today
whose private characters are clean,
but whose political characters are
pledged to the saloon by party plat
forms and they serve us only with
their political character. The saloon
keeper chooses his man by his polit-
ical character, but the average Christ
ian chooses by his private character,
and the saloonkeeper wins The
amount of liquor drank per capita is

STREET SLUSH FUND LOBBY
BY ellison Gardner.
Washington, July 8.-There is one
more chapter to be added to the

would like the attention of the inVes-
tigating committee to this phase of
the matter. There is a Wall Street
slush fund devoted to securing the
kind of banking and currency Iegis-
latiOn desired by Wall Street.
The AldTich plan was what brought
the organization together in the be-
ginning. Aldrich was its genius. He
tapped the public treasury for thou
sands of dollars while he was in the
Senate and later perfected the or
ganization through national banks.
This lobby is as well organized as
that of the National Association of
Manufacturers and quite as powerful
and widespread. It has been working
under various aliases and is working
now under cover. Its correspondence
would be just as Illuminating as that
of the N. A. M.
It may be a mere coincidence, but
it is a notable fact that in the list of
congressman named by Col. Mulhan
as among those to be relied upon for
support for N. A. NJ. legislation and
to oppose legislation not desired by
that organization, there are not any
members of the Progressive party,

ualle.t Man the Most Married.

Lupungu, chief OF the Basongi. one
of the wealthiest chiefs in the Congo.
is a much-married man. for he is the
proud possessor of 800 wives. for each
of whom he pays yearly tribute Of
two francs to the state. This. how
ever, is not his sole claim to distinc-
tion, for he has also been dubbed by
the officials OF the province "the ug-
lest man on earth" with some rea.
son." says vice-Consul Casteus. who
describes him as Misunderstanding
native possessing but one eye, and a
countenance horribly SCARED by small
pox.
As a young child. Lupungu was de-
serted by his father. and afterwards
adopted by sub-chief. In later years,
he persuaded the gullible natives that
his one eye gave him certain occult
powers; he then made friends with a
band Of Arab traders, and with their
assistance made war upon his father
whom he conquered and succeeded as
chief Of the Basongi.
