sponsible for bushes stringency and

Senator Owen came back at him with
the assertion that protected interests
have always fought tariff reductions
and other measures for relief Of the
common people and that whatever
effect Is laid at the door Of the new
law It is due to tho Vaccinations Of
about three financial firms in New

Those protected concerns have

Jones today. 1T will mean q saving
to the country in the end. as the life
Of the road will be greatly increased
and there will not be as large a repair
expense"
According to the road supervisor,
this item may be included in the work
for next year. According to the esti-
mates, the county will have approx
mately $4,000 to spend on its roads
next year. This year $4,000 was used
in building and repairing sections of
county roads.
Nine men are working on the roads
of the county Gravel will be placed
on every mile of country roads within
the next two weeks, according to the
supervisors statement today. 1t will
cost the county $50 per mile to gravel
the roads and place them in repair
for the winter.

STATE To PREPARE
CHILDREN FOR LIFE

Instructions to teachers in regard to
vocational training in the schools was
given by DR.. w. F. Book at the Teach
ers' Institute this morning. DR.. Book
is deputy state superintendent and has
immediate charge OF the vocational de-
partment of the state department of
education. He said that for many
years consistent and systematic eff
fort has been made to make the public
schools more serviceable to all the
people of the community.
I'VE have succeeded remarkably in
Indiana in this direction and our
school system has been copied by most
of the states west OF U.S.
"a big improvement in this direct
ion, however, was made possible by
the passage of the vocational educa-
ton law by our state legislature a
year or SO ago. That law provided for
county agricultural agent, for the
teaching of agriculture, domestic
science and the manual and industrial
arts in the schools, and for the estab-
lishment OF special vocational depart
ments in such schools that are able to
install and equip them.
Train for Professions.
1--WE realized that the state has for
many years been giving special voca-
tional work to the young lawyers,
physicians and engineers, and we de-
cided that in consistency, we ought
also to give equal training to those
entering the trades and occupations.
Eighty or ninety per cent of our
young women go into homemaking.
This is complicated occupation and
no other individual is more in need of
systematic training than the house
keeper. We hope in Indiana, sooner
or later, to enable every girl to enter
the home as completely equipped for
that work as is the young man who
enters profession.
'In district schools, we want the
boys of the seventh and eighth grades
to have some industrial or manual
training and we want the girls in the
same grades to have domestic
science,"

Gillian Spends Night Max

After Address.
BY D, S, COE,

strickland w. Gillian, humorist,"
as the lecture bureaus and the Chau-
tauqua booklets puts it, but Just
"Strick" Gillian, according to fifteen
or twenty thousand of Richmond's pop
ulation, came to town this morning,
and tonight will be heard at the Rich
mond Chautauqua.
In addition to the fame that Gillian
already has achieved in the world OF
letters and on the lecture platform, he
is fast becoming the champion travel
err. He really doesn't travel, though.
He simply hurdles. Last night he lee
tured at Pontiac, Mich. He jumped
from the platform to the south
bound train, travelled all night, and
reached Richmond at $3.50 o'clock this
morning, never once tripping up on
several connections he was forced to
make.
Hurdling from one state to another
to make lecture dates, is an accom-
plishment that some of the big plat
form stars back off from, but to Gill
lilan it's easy. He says himself that
some fine day the bureau which is
directing his tours is likely to place
him at Perth Amboy, N Y, on Mon
day night and Lincoln, Neb., Tuesday
night, simply a matter of some 1900
miles. And Gillian will negotiate the
distance and fill the date without the
tremor of an eye lash.

ASSA|L FOREIGN
MINISTER Grey

LONDON, Aug. 28.-Attmepts by
opponents of the war to show in the
house of comomns today that Sir Ed
ward Grey, the foreign minister. had
not done his utmost to preserve peace,
brought a storm of ''boos" from the
government friends.
The foreign minister took the at
tack calmly and answered questions
put to him without any show of an
ger.
Count Lichnowsky. the German am
bassador, suggested before the war;"
he said that Germany might remain
neutral in the war between Russia and
Austria, and agree not to attack
France If Great Britain would guaran-
tee the neutrality of France.
subsequently it became clear that
what the ambassador meant was that
we should secure the neutrality of
France if Germany went to war with
Russia. This is quite a different pro-
posal. AS soon as the minunderstand-
ing was cleared up, the ambassador
sent telegram canceling the impress
sion produced by the previous dis
patch"

SEEKS GERMAN TRADE RUIN
STATES MISS KNOLLENBERG

That England is Germany's most
formidable enemy in the present war
crisis in Europe, Is the conclusion of
Miss Margaret Knollenberg from her
observations in Germany and from the
information she received from the Ger
mans, particularly in Kiel, where she
spent several weeks with relatives.
Miss Knollenberg arrived in the city
this morning accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. George H. Knollenberg.
Bernhard knollenberg landed in New
York with his sister Wednesday morn
ing but remained there with his father
They came to the United States on
the steamer Oscar II, of the Scandi-
navian-American line, leaving Copen-
hagen, Denmark, August 10.
Crowded in Storage.
The local party were forced to sleep
in the steerage section of the steamer,
although they were not full steerage
passengers. Practically every passen-
ger on the boat was American and
many wealthy men and women were
forced to go full steerage.
In speaking of the view taken by the
Germans, Miss Knollenberg said the
Germans were much surprised when
England took the stand against her
lief that England has entered the war
solely to cut off the German trade, -
she said. This expression is heard
on all sides. The Germans were much
surprised when England announced
her stand and l believe that this has
thrown scare into the Kaiser. Ac-
cording to the best information we
could receive, which is limited owing
to the fact that the press in Germany
has been censored and is allowed to
print only the things that inspire
patriotism, the Kaiser believed that
England would stay out of it so that
he would only have to fight the Rus
SLAMS and the French"
Denmark May Fight.
According to Miss Knollenberg the
latest report from Copenhagen when
she left was that Denmark and Sweden
may declare war on Germany.
practically all the marine force OF
the German empire is stationed in
and about Kiel," said Miss Knollen
berg. "While we were in Kiel thous.
ands of marines were being modified

.BEAUCHAMP PAINTS
GLOOMY CONDITION
OF CHURCH IN j, s.

That crime is on the increase, that
lawlessness is spreading over the land,
that the Christian church of America
is merely marking time, that patriot
ism is being snuffed out and that
these evil conditions are, for the most
part, due to the American saloon, was
the gloomy background of the lecture
delivered by Lou J. Beaucham on 1.-The
Ne wEdition of Taking the Sunny
Side" at the chautauqua last night.
After prelude of humor, Mr.. Beau
champ called the attention of his hear
ers to the condition Of the Protestant
Christian church in this country. He
said that the great Methodist church
last year increased in membership
only two per cent and that in the
Presbyterian denomination, more than
1000 churches failed to win a single
convert. He declared that all the
other denominations had about the
same record to show.
Crime on Increase.
This can mean nothing other than
the increase of crime and evil in this
country Do you know that the
United States leads the world in MUIR
der? In the year 1908, we had here
sixteen and one-half times as many
murders per population as in England,
thirteen times as many as in France,
eleven times as many as in Germany
and four times as many as in Spain?
What is the reason for this?
"One reason is that out of sixty
seven murderers convicted, we ex-
ecute only one. I suppose our offic-
ials think they need them at election
time. Governor Patterson of Tenn
essee pardoned 1854 prisoners. OF
these, 1877 were murderers, "a of whom
have committed other murders since
their release
But the basic reason for this is
that the Bible has been closed out of
our schools. When the American
school system closed it's doors on the
Bible, 1t opened its doors to crime.
Sees Better Times.
But this, after all, is only ebb tide
in Gods church. l prophesy that at
least in eight years we will have the
most marvellous revival of religion in
this country that the world has ever
known and l believe that the long
continued preaching of moral right
eousness by Theodore Roosevelt and
w. J. Bryan will be largely responsible
for this revival"
Mr.. Beauchamp gave as another
reason for the stagnancy of the church
that preachers are under-paid and that
men do not take as much interest as
they should. 1T isn't the preachers
fault If you don't get the kind of
preaching you want. The United
States government has shown that a
working man with a wife and one
child can't live decently on less than
$725 year. Yet the minister's aver
age salary tbs country as a whole is
1925 a year. In the south it is $467.
1t is one-third the wages of a union
plumber. That's why you get good
plumbing and Door preaching"
