Hopes Against War

Il hope war will never again be neces-
sary, but our God he said, lis God
of war. He brought the children of
Israel out of the land of bondage by war
and believe that the war which released
100000 souls from slavery in this country
was conducted under His divine super
vision"
Al this point several woman auditors
arose and left the church. They appar-
emily were not in fun sympathy with Col.
Robinson's remark which he followed
up with the statement: Il turn for a
moment to the life of that southern chief
tain. Stonewall Jackson-truly a man of
prayer.
Col. Robinson preached the sermon in
place of Chaplain y. Livingston Bayard,
L. S. n. and chaplain of the Order of
Washington. who was unable to attend
the meeting.

Rev. Dr. Wallace Radcliffe. pastor of
the New York Avenue Church, presided

greeted Col. Robinson at the altar rail.

the Order of Washington, and other

taining whether Mr.. Prouty would allow

the Progressive party. We are now able
to announce that he has given that con-
sent, as is indicated by a letter from him
to this Office. received tonight, a copy of
which follows:

ceived a telegram from you asking
whether I would consent to my name
appearing upon the Progressive party
ticket. I replied that I knew nothing
as to political happenings In Vermont
and dsliked to speak without
further Information.
Upon returning to Washington
this morning I find your letter of
March y, proposing the same ques-
ton. and urging an immediate reply.
] am still entirely ignorant OF what f.
taking place in a political way in our
state, but upon reflection do not see
that such information Is necessary to
an answer. ! know Of no reason why.
II the Progressive party Of Vermont

action would be a mark OF confidence
upon the part OF the men who make
up and control that party which
should most highly appreciate.
- Very truly yours,

The whole matter is now in the hands
Of the members Of the Progressive party

WASHINGTON. Oct l6.--How Tar
political managers are willing 10 90
In taking liberties with facts is well
illustrated In the campaign text book
just issued from Democratic head
quarters.
The Democratic committee spent up
wards OF $4,000 assembling and print
ing this book for use In the fall cam
paign. The work was under the d.
rection OF Richard l.. Metcalfe. for.
mer governor OF the Panama Canal
zone. Assisting him were Senator
Shively, OF Indiana: Congressman
Taylor. OF Colorado; Congressman
Reed. OF New Hampshire, and Robert
w. Woolley. an official of the treasury
department.
Although the book was published
and In the hands OF congressman by
Sept. %, IL was edited down to Oct.
compliments" OF congress. The re-
suit Is rather peculiar.
The publication. for instance. con-
tains burning paragraph which runs
like this: When the government.
NJ great expense. has prosecuted q
trust. and after years OF legal fighting
has secured decree declaring II an
illegal trust. should 8 citizen who has
suffered loss by reason OF the unfair
methods OF the trust be compelled. in
order TO recover damages. TO assume
the heavy burden OF taking the same
evidence over again." asks Mr.. Met
calfe and his co-editors.
Such has been the situation here
tofore." continues the document
"Now. by virtue If the Wilson trust
program the law provides that the
evidence taken In the governments
suit shall be prima facie evidence that
the corporation thus attacked has
used illegal methods. The private lit
igant now has 10 prove only the
amount OF the damages. Having done
this, he RECEIVERS three times the
amount OF his loss."
At the hour this publication was be
ing distributed to waiting congress
men, the six Democratic conferees on
the part OF the senate and house
Senators Culberson. OF Texas; Over
man. OF North Carolina. and Chiffon
West Virginia. and Representatives

Virginia. and Floyd. OF Arkansas--whc
were considering the Clayton anti
trust bill, were busily engaged In
striking out the paragraph OF which
Editor Metcalfe and his associates
were busily boasting. As the bill
came from the hands OF the Demo
cratic conferees. the injured citizen
who brings suit not only cannot make
use of the government cnnvictinna al

that the Tobacco and Standard or
