EVANGELIST RAPS
FASHIONS ANTICS
Tells Mothers to Keep Eye on
Young Man in
ParlOr.

Striking straight from the front
without regard to social cast, Rev. l.
E. Honeywell last evening hurled his
words of warning to about 1000 wom
en- who were gathered in the taber
nacie.
Previous to his sermon a song serv
Ice was held. Mrs. Ray longnecker
sang a solo and Mr.. and Mrs. Clase
gave vocal duet.
In his preliminary remarks Mr.
Honeywen asked that 500 women call
up Chief of Police Goodwin and thank
him fer sending an officer to the tab,
ernac;e each evening.
Rev. Mr.. Honeywell took for the
keynote Of his sermon verse from
Proverbs BIO: who can find a
Eirtuous woman? Her price is far
above rubies."
An OLD painter Of Sienna" he said
latter standing before his canvas in
silent meditation, with his hands cross
ed meekly on his breast and head
bent said May God forgive me that
did not do it better Many women as
they come to the close of life and look
back on their wasted life and lost op-
portunities and what they are leaving
as a memorial can only say with like
SduloSS. May GOu 1OTSlNG uG IudL
did not do it better
Must Avoid Pitfalls.
Many women say if they had just
known about this and that they might
have avoided all these mistakes. We
cannot now get the benefit of our aft
er experience but we may learn from
the experiences of others.
ESPECIALLY should we learn from
the word of God The religion OF
Jesus has something to do with the
life of every woman and girl, in every
relation on every day, in every ex
perience of life. Solomon, the author
of the text has much to say about
women. No one has a better right to
speak about women than Solomon for
he had 700 wives. a """ '""~-
Now the word 'virtuous' really
means strong SO that the text may
read. Who can find a strong woman
Blessing or Curse.
"A good woman is the best thing
this side of heaven, bad woman the
worst thing this side of the pit. A
woman touches the limit both ways.
She rises and falls lower than a man.
A woman blesses or curses everything
she touches. The most degraded char
acter on earth today is a woman; the
purest character on earth a woman
Eve damned the world. Mary gave it a
Saviour. Incipient Rome rotted for
want of women. Imperial Rome rotted
on account of her fast women. The
stage and the ball room never cursed
this town. but women cursed them
The homes in this town are on level
with the women and your town is on
the level with your homes. Nothing
hurts woman like sin, and nothing
destroys sin like woman.
NO wonder it has been said that
the price of a good woman is beyond
rubes. Christ and woman can save
the world, the devil and woman can
damn it
Look here young women! Do you
know that favor is deceitful and beau.

miles east of Parma, the robbers
pulled the cord, stopped the train and
disappeared.
Among the passengers was Court
land Cramp, president of the Cramp
Ship Building company at Philadel
phia. He had $4,000 in cash and ne,
gotiable Instruments with him. He
was not molested.

ductor, brakemen and the porters
We're in one car Then two of them
corralled the train crew, backed them
up along the wall and informed them
if they made no resistance there
would be no trouble. The trainmen
being unarmed raised their arms in
the air and kept them there while the
bandits went through the train Sleep
ing passengers were disturbed by
rough hands that parted curtains
jerked clothing and grips to the floor
and made a hurried search. There
were several women in the cars but
they made no outcry. Several men in
the day coach knew nothing of the
robbery until it was all over.

Claus Schaub, a travelling representa-
tive of a Chicago packing house, who

idays. Letters from Schaub to the
girl were found in her rooms by the
Chicago police, and the theory was
advanced that she might have eloped
with him.
Cleveland and Chicago newspaper.

in an effort to find Schaub. The Pal
ladium dispelled the early reports
that Schaub was local man, and en-
abled the Chicago police to learn
Schaubs whereabouts through the
packing plant with which he is con
nected.
Miss Klassner told the Chicago po-
lice she was living with a cousin who
had intimated that she find work.
Miss klassner left her cousins home,
and said she was merely carrying out
the relatives wish wi she left, and
that she had no desire f gaining noto-
riety The girl is only seventeen years
old and has been ACCUSTOMED to all

Some women are like a river, al
ways emptying at the mouth. Others
are like a bell, nothing in it but the

A woman in Chicago sued for a d-
vorce because her husband hadn't

Fashion is the damnation of the

Give up the idoIatry of fashion or

A town never falls below its worst
woman and never rises higher than it's

Woman with souls to be saved, are
passing the hour in wondering where
the other woman got her hat and
dress.
The strife with many a woman is
to see how near she can come to the
verge of indecency without falling
over it.
The tide of masculine profligacy
will never turn back until there is a
decided reformation in womanIy cos

The country has gone Republican The peopis
passed Judgment yesterday on what the Democrats
have done in less than two years. on what the Pro-
gressives have been promising for little longer

the Republicans accomplished in the sixteen years

has held its own and in rare instances it may claim
gains. Probably ii viii retain control Iof the House
though this is not certain. Assuredly its majority

Itefpretation of the general verdict, however The

test appears close enough to justify Republicans
joicing even if Willis fails to replace Cox in the
governors chair. On all important fighting grounds
the old alignment has been restored and the Pro-
gressives have been given notice to apply humbly
for admission to some militant political organization.
The reason for the Republican triumph stands out
clearly in this Congressional election. Under the
Democratic administration the countrys prosperity
waned Customs receipts dwindled under the new
tariff and the balance of trade steadily against
u.s. The European war found our finances debilitated
and the party in power thereupon imposed special
war tax with the country at peace with the whole
world Candidates for reelection could point to no
material benefits bestowed upon the people; they
could only blame the for the ills that came upon
a country of lmitless resources They made their
campaign upon the record of President Wilson, and
with some justification, in views of his dominant in
fuence over Congress Their chief assets were his
letters of Endorsement. The result shows that the
people blame the Democrats instead of the for
the oountrys condition. and that the Presidents in
defnable Mexican policy-emphasized by the slogan,

Wilson"-failed as the partys principal appeal for
a continuation of public confidence.
