These four conferences are in fact
the mobilization of those who are en-

Theodore Roosevelt was the principal

years ago. when state troops were
called out to preserve order.

They took the delegates by force. but

counted we had them beaten two to

The colonel repeatedly declared
against the return of progressives to
the republican fold. You can't be
loyal to the principles Of Abraham Lin
coin by voting the republican ticket"
he said. You can't he loyal to the
principles of Jefferson by voting the

patters are real sinister masters who
stand behind the scenes using the re-

"And they ask us to come to them.
Why, we will get together with them
just as policeman gets together with

The platform adopted by the con-

Rev. DR.. w. L. PicEkard Is Fear
leSsly Preaching Protestant
Gospel, and Chrisa'S ReliniOra,
I'm Savannah, Ga.

OUR readers must have appreciated the
spirit with which Baptist clergyman
quietly began series of thoughtful sermons,
In Romanist stronghold, against that sys-
tenn of Popery which sprung out of the putrid
carcass Of ancient paganism, made the Bible
sealed book, stifed the primitive creed Of
Christianity, pushed the priest into the place
OF Christ, and gave to Italian popes such stu
pendous powers over earth, heaven and hell
as to well-nigh deprive God Almighty of
any reason for His continued existence
DR.. Pickard's sermons are scholarly, con
servative, unanswerable. They have thrilled
his vast audiences as no other Savannah SER
mons, heard in this generation, have done.
Not only has DR.. Pickard put new life
into his own church, but his example is inspir-
ing others. Elsewhere In this issue we print
some newspaper items which give faint
idea Of the Protestant awakening
In publishing these fine sermons, The JEFF
ferSoniam has had no other motive than to
scatter the seeds of Truth.

Another American Paper Starts
Up TO Fight Foreign,

IT gives us great pleasure to note the first
issue Of THE CRUSADER, lola, HANS
1t is anti-papal all the way through, and
it is ably edited by SFather Jones" the origi-
nator possibly of all these Joneses that you
see scattered about the country.
Anyway, Father Jones is scrapper Of the
most satisfactory kind; and he knows, Just
as [ do, that if this Roman snake is to be
killed we must go at it like we go at killing
any other snake.
No war on any individuals religion: but
Romanism, as system of mental slavery,
moral degeneration, power-seeking, and
money-hunting, must be destroyed!
No compromise whatever must be made
with these Italian priests who are threatening
us with the guns of those traitors, the knights
of Columbus.
AS far as [ am spokesman for the fight
against popery, bid Father Jones warm
welcome.
Giye eno he'll, Father!

LIBERTY THEATER is BROKEN INTO.
Considerable Damage Done Inside of Building.
The Liberty Therter was broken into early yes
terday morning, after the meeting Of the Guar
dams Of Liberty, and considerable damage was
done.
According to Deputy United States Marshal J.
Ben Wilson, custodian of the building; the front
door was pried open with crowbar, several steps
in the lobby torn up windows were 'pried
open and number of panes smashed.
The company owning the building recently went
into bankruptcy. United States Marshal Davis of
Albany is receiver Capt Wilson is his agent.
Il am going to write to Mr.. Davis said Mr..
wilson, and ask that he instruct me to offer
reward for the apprehension of the intruders. I
have reported the matter to the police and if the
guilty person or persons arrested they will be
prosecuted
Is there any doubt on your mind as to who
committed that cowardly attack upon the
Liberty Theater?
1t is always the same with those worship
pers Of the italian potentate. They can't
argue, they cannot defend their ridiculous
and preposterous 'faith," they cannot bear
to have the light turned on.
Consequently, they resort to the boycott,

Kelly and "Father" Schadewell would love

COMMISSION GIVES
ITS APPROYALTO
NEW MILEAGE RATES
Increase From 2 to "a Gents
a Mile Will Become Efec-
tive Tomorrow-Rush for
Old Books. b..

The Interstate Commerce Commission,
not having notified the Pennsylvania
Railroad and the Philadelphia and Read
ing Railway Company of any suspension
of the proposed mileage book rate ad-
vances, the new, rates will automatically
become effective tomorrow. The Commis-
sion. has given its "tacit approval to the
proposed Increases, but later 1t may direct
a. general inquiry to determine the causes.
Ticket agents here are busy trying to
meet the unusually large demands or the
travelling public for, existing mileage
books, which are being sold today on the
basis of two cents a mile. Az ootn tne
Pennsylvania and Reading offices 1t was
announced that the days sales were the
largest for any single day In the history
Of the roads.
The increases will boost the mileage
book rate from to 2A cents mile. an1
will affect all of the railroads east OF
Pittsburgh and north of the Potomac
River In other words, travellers who now
get 1OO0-mile books for $40 will have to pay,
tomorrow, $50. 80 for the same book. The
rate for the 10oO-mile interchangeable
book, which Is now s25, with return OF
IS upon presentation of the book cover
after the mileage has been used. Will to-
morrow be s25, with rebate of only S25o
upon return of book.
The railroads have not yet made appli-
cation to the commission for permission
to increase their single trip passenger
rates. Such q request had been planned,
but the officials of the Eastern lines ap-
rarently figured that 1t would be more
consistent to await the commissions ac-
ton on the proposed 8 per cent. freight
rate advances. A rehearing has been
granted the roads in this application. 1t
will be held October 10 at Washington.
1t is the general feeling In railroad cir
cles that the commission will see the
necessity for at least part of the proposed
rate advances and that it will permit the
enforcement of increased tariffs. In that
event, if the increases to be granted shall
be in the neighborhood 70 the per cent.
asked for, there will probably be dropped
the plan to boost revenue income by
higher passenger fares.
