With his coat and vest off, his col
lar and necktie laid aside and his
sleeves rolled up above his elbows,
Evangelist l. E. Honeywell addressed
a large number, of men and boys at
the tabernacle Sunday afternoon. He
said, "A man is not and cannot be a
MAN, who swears, smokes cigarettes,
tells dirty filthy stories, forgets his
marriage vows or drinks.
He explained and produced statis-
tcs, which should convince beyond a
doubt the bad effects and results Of
immortality and personal abuse. With
but one or two exceptions every man
present expressed himself by rising,
that the service was a help and a
benefit and it is predicted that next
Sundays meeting for men will pack
the tabernacle
Sunday was a full day at the
Tabernacle. The: first half of the
morning hour service was occupied in
raising money for the expenses of the
campaign at which time Sab was
subscribed ,-..- -'......- 49,.
The largest audience thus far,
packed themselves into the tabernacle
for the evening meeting and listened
to a clear, logical, scriptural message
which pierced the very hearts Of men
and made them forget Honeywell and
think Of God and His Christ and a
coming day of reckoning and their
own relations with it.
Mr.. Honeywell's text was "How
Shall We Escape, if We Neglect SO
Great Salvation Many realized that
there is no escape, that neglect means
hell at last, and the guilt of being
CHRIST reflector now. Twenty-Five
came forward and accepted Gods gift
of eternal life through Christ.
The interest of the public is such
that a great meeting and a large
crowd is looked for on Tuesday eve
ming.
The program for the week is as u.s.
ual except the morning and afternoon
meetings will be omitted Friday. On
Friday evening the evangelist will
deliver his celebrated sermon on
popular Amusements;' or "Should
Christian Dance, Play Cards and
Go to the Theater?"

Calgary, Alta, May 26.-Luther
McCarty, white heavyweight champ
ion pugilist of the world died in the
ring here Saturday from a chance
blow delivered by Arthur Pelkey
somewhere in the region of the solar
plexus. The end of the battle came
after one minute and forty-fve sec
onds of fighting. -. Z. (.
Pelkey was arrested by the North
west Mounted Police later in the aft
arn0an on the charge of maRslaugh-
Ter. He was soon released on bail. He
was too agitated over the tragedy to
make statement.
The fight started tamely. There had
been one or two mix-ups of an incon-
sequential character. Then came
clinch. Referee Eddie Smith separated
the men. Both squared of in pugilis-
tic attitude. Neither seemed to be the
worse for the clinch. ~
Suddenly McCarty was seen to
double up in a crouching attitude.
To the spectators it looked as
th0ugh his crouch was simply
fighting pose. But he continued to go
over, his eyes rolling in his head.
then he collapsed and fell full length
on the floor of the ring.
The referee, assuming that he had
been knocked out, stood over him to
count of the fatal seconds, but it was
the final count for the young champ
ion. ..-..< 49, -
Mrs. McCarty would not believe at
first that the news which came from
Calgary was true. 1t was not until
the proprietor of the cafe in which
she is employed, received a contirma-
ton telegram of the accident.
The funeral will probably be held
at Fargo, where McCarty has made
his home for the past several years
and at which place the widow resides.

Washington, May 26.-There is a
new, commanding figure in the
United States seNate-a man unafraid
a man who cannot be inundated OF
browbeaten. He is Ollie M. James,
the new senator from Kentucky. Mas
sive of physique, but as tremendous
mentally and courageous as he is
big of bulk, Ollie James, in his recent
tariff speech, achieved a great per-
sonal triumph over odds that would
have dismayed man of less bravery.
1t has not been customary for a
senator as new as Ollie NJ. James to
make an extended speech. Conse-
quently, some Of the Republicans at
tempted to haze Senator James by
booing one of his ringing utterances
The hazers received very much of the
worst of the encounter.
Il expected to hear some hoo-rahs
from that side" James flung back
in his booming voice. ''Fhe people
last fall gave you enough to hold you
silent for awhile
For an instant there was conster-
nation at the vigor of the thrust.
Then the galleries burst into loud ap-
plause, further SCATTERING the SEN
ate's dignity. Red with anger, SEN
ator Gallinger rose and demanded
quiet in the galleries. But the retort
had done it's work. The ha2ers Wilted,
and not one attempted reply.
Senator James speech was the
most notable one that has been de-
livered on the floor of the senate dur
ing the present tariff debate. Joseph
P. Tumulty, secretary to the presi-
dent, sat in the gallery and heard
every word of the address. Then he
hurried to the White House and with
in an hour Woodrow Wilson had writ
ten a personal note to the Kentucky
senator congratulating him.
Senator James showed that he is
a master of oratory. The following
were some of his utterances, and the
reader can imagine their fire and ef-
feet:
"Mr President, platforms are a
bond of honor. This is a new age.
When we find our president, who was
elected upon this platform, standing
like a stone wall, demanding that it
shall be carried out, it is no time for
other men to falter.
"Our Republican friends passed a
bill that in my. judgment was a be-
travail of their promises to the Amer
lean people. If William H. Taft had
had one-half the courage possessed by
Woodrow Wilson, he would have We
toed that bill and bonfires would have
burned in his honor. upon every hill
top and in every valley in this repub-
lie. But he signed it, and the people
called him to account.

Maine may still be high tariff state,
though we have our doubts about it; but
that it is in favor of high tariff OF the
Payne Aldrich type, is not borne out by
the Maine signs OF the times. The Re
publcans lump the Republican and FRO
gressive vote together as showing tne
protectionist strength of the state But
Maine ProgressiVes do not accept the
Payne-Aldrich taft. or the standpatlsfn
II represents. Maine Progressives have
We'd with Maine Democrats in denounc-
ing the Payne-Aldrch tariff, ana Tor
much the same reasons. The truth IS
that standpat high protection has lost
ground in this State as it has lost ground
throughout the country. Maine is no eN-
ception to the general revulsion against
Payne-A drichism. The halcyon and Vo-
ciferous days of high protection have
passed away here as elsewhere, and, We
believe. never to return And ii may be
anticipated with confidence that Names
experience under the Underwood tariff
will give high protection knock out
blow by confounding the glib predictions
of the prophets of disaster-Portland
Argus.
If the Argus had better record as
a prophet We should be quite happy.
Let us hope the Argus will be nearer
right than we think it expects to be
And if il is as far off as it usually is,
let's make the best of it, rsmem hering
that we all went into it with spirit
of Tets chance it once more
