Brother r. j. Wiall12Gss Al2zz2, OF the
Foreign Mission Board.
a MOTHER booklet In favor of the Board
has been published at your expense, and
scattered over the land.
This is a grievous injustice to the heather,
FOR they were entitled to the money
The preacher prayed powerful prayer for
Foreign Missions; the choir and the organ
nearly busted their windpipes singing hymns
appropriate to the occasion; the sermon was
a hair-lifter and it made us thrill with eager
ness to cough up coin for the heather that sits
in darkness.
And yet Brother Willingham takes that
money and spends as much of it is he sees
fit in the publishing and circulation Of litera-
ture.
: The heather doesn't need the literature:
the heather needs the money. Nevertheless
Bro. r. j. W. assumes that he has the right to
divert your heather saving coin into more
literature in defense of his Board.
Bro. r. J. WIS latest contribution to the
literature Of the day is pamphlet entitled.
THE Devil opposed to Foreign Missions
Are you?"
That is q nice way to put it. If you oppose
any of the purely haen1ar and fazzi6Ze methods
Of the Boord, you oppose the principle of
CUCWCC-
Giatezy classed with 'the Devil"
AS [ said, that is very nice way to put it.
That's the aoay I1afazA6ze popes and popaz
priests talk TO zoymen The hierarchy knows
it all: the laymen must take orders from the
Infallible, and must blindly obey.
According to Willingham's view, nobody
can question the methods of the Board with
out becoming colleague Of ''the Devil
When did that spirit of bigotry and intol-
erance get into the Baptist churches? It
didn't use to be there. 1t has no business
there.
[ never saw Baptist that was worth
pinch of snuff who wouldn't admit that pos
sibly he did not possess monopoly of reli-
gion and of sense
But our high priced Board, stall fed on big
salaries, has been feeding on some sort of
meat that swells the head and narrows the
mind.
You are not permitted to criticise any
method Of the Board, else you at once become
an ally of ''the Devil"
Brother Willingham would do we'll were he
to remember that our churches have not gone
over to one-man bossism.
You have just as much right to criticise the
m0dus operand5 of Foreign Missions, as you
have to fix the hours of service in your Sun
day Schools and churches.
and when Brother Willingham implicitly
argues that his Board is doing mission work
in the way that Christ commanded, he knows
that he is condemning the methods by which
the Primitive church converted so much of
the world to Christ
Bro. Willingham knows that this jackass
method of erecting magnificent missionary
establishments in foreign lands was not only
condemned by our great missionary Judson,
but was condemned by all the churches during
the 1900 years that followed the birth of the
Savior

O How They Change When They
Get TO Washington City


body on the outside knew it:
I have heard that Tom Watson Of Georgia,
several times a Democrat, few times a Populist
and lately Bull Mooser, has honored me with
special mention in his magazine. Tom failed to
send me copy, do not know what Tom said
about me. I trust Tommus will send us his pubs
1ication.-Dixe.
That's fair specimen of how the patriot
politician talks, after he gets you to help him
into the public crib
''Tom Watson" has always been a Jeferso-
Man Democrat-never a pie-counter Demo-
GRAFT. never a turn-coat Democrat, never a
Pope's lick-spittle Democrat, never band
wagon Democrat.
"Ton Watson" has always been Popullst,
which is the same as being Jefersonian
Democrat-the two words being respectively,
the Latin and the Greek terms, denotia1g
eaGct7y the same thing.
Always Jeffersonian, always Populist,
always against the robber known as Special
Privilege, always against the male political
harlot who walks the streets of public life
and prostitutes himself for personal gain;
that's the record, and Mr.. Clau LEngle, out
Of office, never found flaw in it. That the
Hon. Claud L'Engle, IN office, does find flaws
in it, is nothing new. The record hasn't
changed, but Claud has. Very often the man
in office finds fault with you, because you
don't change cars every time he does. Such
is life.
''Tom Watson" is not ''late1y Bull Moo
sern and has not honored Claud L'Engle with
any Especial mention in his magazine" In
our Weekly paper, we sometimes have to men
ton small men, because of their accidental
connection with big issues. In that way,
Claud L'Engle got mentioned in our Weekly
paper.
In another part of his 'Dixie" drivel the
Hon Claud L'Engle says that he is a Sweden
borgian, and that his coffee boy goes to the
Washfoot Baptist Sunday school"
[ suggest that they change the arrange
ment: let the boy become a Swedenborgian,
and let Claud L'Engle go to the Washfoot
Sunday School. His hoofs may need it.
L'Engle says that Charlie Jones is a
"Christian." Thank the Lord!
II L'Engle had said that much for himself,
/ could not have believed it.
AS to intolerance and bigotry, let me
remind the Hon. L'Engle that no Protestant
has slapped Catholic priests face in Jack
slapped the face of the Methodist preacher,
because the preacher, IN has 0a01o pulpit, had
preached against popery
IF the Protestant preachers are to be
assaulted because they protest against Roman
ism, why should Protestant churches be
allowed to exist at all?
How long will it be before the Ben Bur
bridges, encouraged by such papers as
Dixie" attack the whOze church and the
entire congregations as that Romish mob did
in Carbonate, Pennsylvania?
The next time Mr. Claud L'Engle goes
before the people of Florida, asking for their
votes he had better have some better excuse
for his attach on free speech, than has yet
appeared in "Dixie."
1t will not be "Tom Watson asking for

TO INVESTIGATE FOUNDATION,
Rockefeller Idea to BE Looked Into
Here This Month.

Denver. Dec. 1.-The fact that the
Rockefeller foundation ties up slOO. .Ooo-
900 for 100 years in a private fund will be
made the basis of an investigation by
the Federal commission on Industrial re-
lations. according to an announcement
made here today by Frank P. Walsh, Of
Kansas City, chairman OF the commits
sion.
The investigation OF the foundation,
Walsh said, will be undertaken because
the committee has found it to be one of
the causes to which labor particularly
points as the reason for the present dis
turbed condition Of the relations Of en-
ployer andemployee.
1T is a grave question in some peo-
pies minds,'' Walsh declared, whether
so vast an amount ef money as 100000, 900
should be set aside and kept intact I'm a
private fund, controlled by private in
dividuals for so long a time as 100 years -
The investigation will be begun in
Washington on December IS and will
be continued in New York about ten days
later.

Two definite steps will be taken today
to deal with the question of the unem-

P. T. Moran. vice president of the

Newman to Take Up Problem.
The question Of the unemployed came
TO the attention of Commission Newman
yesterday in a letter from Mr.. Moran.
Commissioner Newman. who has been i'll
for some time, said:
II have no personal knowledge of the
unemployed situation in Washington. I
do not know at this time whether the
District can offer employment but l will
present the matter to the board"
Commissioner Siddons: Il believe the
District at this time is employing all the
men il can. The Commissioners can have
no free hand in this matter. In all ap-
propriauons it is specified how the money
shall be spent and I am OF the opinion
that We are carrying on all the work we
can at this time of year
Mr. Moran hopes Congress will speedily
appropriate money for a bridge to re-
place the old Aqueduct Bridge between
Georgetown and Rosslyn.
Construction Of a new bridge" he said,
would give employment to hundreds.
Representative Carlin, of Virginia, has
investigated and is authority for the
statement that a new bridge is urgently

Mr.. Moran yesterday received a letter
from the president of the Plasterers'
Union, applauding Mr.. Moran and The
Herald for revealing the facts about
the unemployed here. It was suggested
to Mr.. Moran that there are hundreds
OF vacant houses in this city in need OF
repairs and that the repairing of these
dwellings would give work to many.
1T will be a good business move and
an act of charity II the property owners
Of the city will examine their holdings

ADDRESSES TRADE BOARD

Chief Justice CovIngton. OF the District
Supreme Court, told members Of the
Board OF Trade, at the New Willard last
night, that Washington is a Federal city.
and will remain so whether Washing
ton wishes II or not: and that its best
interests demand a continuation Of its
present dependence on Congress
Washington is a Federal city," Chief
Justice Covington said. 1t Is unique
among capitals. You can take the gov
ernment from London, Paris or Berlin.
and you will leave centers Of industry,
commerce or gayety and society. You
cannot take the Federal government
from Washington and leave II anything
but an ordinary city OF 10000 people.
Washington is here to show the civic
purity of this country. The realization
OF this ideal means a relationship with
the Congress OF the United States. DO
not make any mistake as to the atti-
tude Of Congress. A supercilious atti-
tude is often assumed with respect to
the situation in Congress. You can't
crack light remarks about a body like
that. Four out Of five Of the members

resolution for a Congressional Inquiry into
