The annual memorial session of
the b. p. o. f. No. GOT, that was
held last Sunday evening in their
commodious home, was most in
teresting and touching one. Dur
ing the year that has passed seven
members had crossed the dark
river and the respect that was paid
to their memory was beautiful and
tender. The program that was
published last week in the Siftings
News was carried out in most ap-
propriate manner and commanded
the attention Of the large number
who had assembled to show their
esteem. The vocal solos by Mrs.
S. P. Warren, Mrs. Charles Brand
stetter and E. P. Coughlin were of
nature that caught the audience
in the most favorable and ap-
proved manner. They were all ex-
cellent and worthy Of the high
praise that has been bestowed on
them. Miss Della Dumont played
two piano solos that were listened
to with close appreciation. These
annual exercises of the Elks lodge
of this city are always of a very
high standard of merit. In his
eulogy of the departed brothers,
Mr.. j. w. B. Smith presented the
feelings of the living brothers to-
ward the deceased, in just such an
impressive manner as is character
istic of him as a sound and effect
i've public speaker. Referring in
brief, but loyal manner, he set
forth the virtues of men that are
substantially engraved deep on the
imperishable rock. Hon. E. M. Sa-
bin came up from Denver on Sun
day afternoon and delivered the
memorial address and in which he
made in that inimitable style that
is in accordance with his practical
methods and which was highly ap-
preciated by all present and con
cerning which he has received high
praise.

many people do not understand
is why Mr.. Aiken is shown as

and not voting is the same as

From the Belton Journal.
TROM the best information we
can get as to the Congres-
sional race in this district it
appears that John a. Horton
will be in the second race and
lust at this time it is not certain
who the other man will be,
Aiken or Dominick. Mr.. Horton
made a most favorable impress
sion at each Of the campaign
meetings and many people were
heard to remark that he was a
good, clean reliable man that
could b, trusted" John Horton
has no political record to speak
of and that is considerably in
his favor, but he has a most re-
markable record in his business
career having made a success in
every undertaking and the peo-
pie of the Third district have de-
cided that they will quit voting
for people with political rec
ords," as they haye never re-
ceived any special benefits from
these records. A great many
people are going to vote for John
Horton because he has been a
success in conducting his own
business and they believe that
is the. best indication that ne
will attend to the peoples busi-
ness more efficiently than the
politician.
Many people in the Third dis
trict, and especially in Able
vile, his home county, do not
understand why Mr.. Aiken
voted against President on the
repeal of the free Panama toll
act. They say if President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan
could see they were wrong and
changed their minds why
couldn't Mr.. Aiken. Some do
not understand either why Mr..
Aiken should have voted against
the Pure Food Bill" which was
before congress for several ses-
sions and which was bitterly
fought BY the manufacturers.
Mr.. Aiken was. one of IL demo
Gratis to vote against the bill,
and he gives as his reason that
there was an Objectionable
clause i'm the bill. Il so. whv

AS China Sees the Whites

In his book. The Chinese
Revolution Arthur j. Brown
reprints a paragraph written by
a Chinese who had seen much
of Europeans and North Amer
leans at Shanghai.
We are always told that the
countries of the foreign devils
are grand and rich, "the Chinese
observed. but that cannot be
true, else what do they come
here for?
They jump around and kick
balls as If they were paid to do
it. Again you find them max
ing long tramps into the coun-
try; but that is probably a re-
ligious duty. for when they wave
sticks in the air nobody knows
why. They have no sense OF
dignity. for they may be found
walking with women. Yet the
women are to be pitied, too. On
festive occasions they are drag
ged around a room to the accom-
paniment of the most hellish
music. :"
Anoeherinteresting paragraph
is from the pen of a Chinese
who had just returned from a
tour of Europe and North
America. He wrote to a rela-
tive as follows:
You cannot civiliZe these
foreign devils. They are be-

See how our present congress
man, Hon. Wyatt Aiken, twist
ed and squirmed under the at
tacks Of his opponents. His ex-
plantations were really ridiculous
and the more Mr.. Aiken ex-
planned the more untenable his
position seemed. Mr.. Aiken
said the steamship Trust told
him, that IS, its representatives,
that they really wanted the
Free Tolls" done away with.
We all know it was the case of
the Rabbit begging not to be
thrown into the briar patch
and yet Mr.. Aiken had the au-
dacitY to hand that out to an
Anderson county audience. The
explanation did not explain,
though. Every true American
Democrat knows that free tolls
through the Panama canal is a
"Ship-subsidy"-taking money
out of the peoples pockets and
putting it into the Golfers Of the
ship owners. And to our utter
surprise what do we find or page
three of the Daily Mail of Aug.
Z? We find John L. McLaurin
coming to the rescue of Mr..
Aiken. Mr.. McLaurin is a po-
litical outcast of the Democratic
