NAMES new SENATOR
REP. CLAYTON TO SUCCEED LATE
JOHNSTON OF ALABAMA.
Action Amazes Senate and Kern
Says Selection viii Be
Opposed.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Senators
we're amazed last night to learn that
Governor O'Neal of Alabama had ap-
pointed Representative Clayton as
senator to succeed the late Senator
Johnston
This appointment was made in the
face of non-partisan conference of
the judiciary committee and other
lawyers of the senate Monday, and
the expressed opinion in a telegram
to the governor that he had no au-
thority under the new amendment to
appoint until authorized so to do by
the legislature.
1t was made also in the face of a
telegram from Majority Leader Kern
to him urging him to call the legis-
lature In session and obtain authority
to appoint senator ad interim. Mr.
Clayton is on his way to Washing,
ton with his credentials Senator
Kern. chairman of the committee on
privileges and elections, said that
objections probably would be made to
seating Mr.. Clayton on these creden-
tials and the case would then have to
go to committee.
Another interesting development of
the day was the fact that Senator
Works practically has given the
Democrats the advantage of another
vote. He left Washington stating
that he would not return until Deem
Der unless there should be currency
legislation or war with Mexico. He
went away without arranging a pair.
His colleagues have no authority to
pair him without his consent.

THE BREADAND BUTTER QUESTION
Wilbur Hatfield Plesses Congregation
at Mt. MOriah Church Economies
Discussed.

Last night an appreciative audi
ence listen I'd 10 the young eolored
orator. Wilbur Hatfield, Of Spring
field, Mass, who spoke on economic
questions a. Mount Moriah A. NJ. E.
Church.
After religious exercises, with
special music, the speaker was intro
duced and in scholarly language han
died some of the burning questions
of the day. He urged the need of
educators for the working class, that
they may think out their own emanci-
patton from wage slavery. The strong
and rich have time and resources to
spend on their own interest. but the
poor workin. people need defenders
While there is large army of un-
employed, the proportion of "unem-
ployea' or incompetent workers is
quite smSll, only 4 per cent If the
negroes being of that class. Eco.
nomic conditions, moreover, are stead
lily lessening the opportunities for
earning a livelihood both in the pro-
fessional and artisan class The
speaker then spoke of the wag slav-
cry of women. how it is reducing
their vitality and uniting them for
mothe rhood. If factory conditions
and slum environments continue as
they are we shall soon have a race of
dwarfed and degenerate citizens.
Our present economic system is
also responsible for the growing di-
vorce evil Ten years ago there was
one divorce in every 33 marriages;
today it is one in u. Again, child
labor is cursing the human race.
Children grow up in ignorance as fac
tory slaves instead Of enjoying that
generous education which is the birth
right of every soul. Had all citizens
sufficient education, they would know
the dangers of bad food, water, air
and would work for the remedy.
We all know that the cost of liH-
ing is steadily on the rise. But all
have not yet realized the truth
that the private ownership of the
of life is responsible
for the increasing rise in prices.
Capitalists exploits the working
class, doling out to them just
enough wages to keep soul and body
together for service. Again, tn :
churches are suffering from the evils
of capitalism. Religious work is
neutraIized by vile environment in
the homesaot the very Ioor. 1t is
not enqdl5h to be good or wish to
be gocdA61e eople must have the ply
steal cofoNions in which II culti-
vate virtue.
But happily, We see change com
ing. We have seen chattle slavery
abolished; we see competition losing
ground and now we are in what may
be called the Trust Age. This,
too, is doomed to give way to the CO.
operative Commonwealth, when the
people shall have become so enlighen-
ed as to appropriate the trusts or the
public good.
After the address which was cor
daily applauded, the pastor, DIR. l..
C. Curtis, spoke in hearty epprecia-
tion of the young mans sentiments,
and several in the audience did the
same. The good impression is like
ly to be followed up by organizing a
branch of the Christian Socialist
Fellowship.
