POLITICAL BUNK MAY BRING ON
A WARM SUIT
A check for 81, 900 or more paid to
the American Posting Service was
thrown straight back into the face of
a political candidates manager the
other day.
And today Edward Novak, former
alderman, and now campaign man
ager for Jos. A. Mendel, declares they
will take the money or he will sue.
Hearst power was held over the
head of the billboard company men,
according to Novak, and they threw
away good cash money, velvet right
in their hands, rather than stand up
against Hearst threats.
NoVak has big 24-sheet posters
printed. In funeral ink on white
background, this poster read:
Voters. Do you want Hearst to
Appoint Your Deputy Sheriffs?
HEARST OWNS TRACER. Vote
for Joseph A. Mendel, Democratic
candidate, a business man for sher-
iff."
NOvak went to the American Post
ing Service. Dealing with H. A. Car
ney, a contract was signed. 1t was
agreed the big poster should be slap
ped on 400 different billboards in all
parts of Chicago.
Checks for the cost of the service
was sent to the American Posting
Service Tuesday Novak got the
check back yesterday. They would

Novak said today: "The posters
are going up on the billboards exact
ly as first printed. If the American
Posting Service has been reached by
city hall influence and continues to
refuse to live up to it's contract l
shall file suit against that company
and prosecute them 'civilly for failure
to carry out clearly specified con-
tract.

the managers, Mr.. Carney and Mr..

them that one way or another we will

EXPECT WRANGLE OVER THE
PROPOSED WAR TAX
Washington, Sept. 5.-President
Wilson's request fora war tax spell
ed trouble today in congress even
on the democratic side. MurnUTings
of difficulty voiced in the ways and
means committee late yesterday
grew louder today when that body re-
convened.
The proposal to place a five per
cent tax on transportation tickets
was one of the chief points of at
tack. Then, too, the proposal to tax
gasoline stirred up some enmity from
the rural delegates, inasmuch as it
would put a burden on the farmer
who uses this liquid for farm power.
Serious opposition on this point,
however, was not expected, as the
real costs would come from those
best able to pay. In some quarters
there was a suggestion to increase
the income tax.
That the war tax bill will not be

Colchester. Oct T.-Recruits for the
new army seem to be having a good
time at Colchester. There are now about
5000 in the Town, quartered in the bar
racks, under canvas, or IN billets. There
has been occasional grumbling, chiefly
at arrears Of pay, but the men are
obviously enjoying the experience Of
being transformed into soldiers in rec
'crd time.
Work which In peace time g spread
over year Is now being condensed into
three months, and the daily program Of
drill is so strenuous that the men are
pretty well exhausted when they are re-

Disciples Convention Hears
Encouraging Reports

That only q united church could make
possible universal peace was the leading
thought in the addresses Of three proml-
nent churchmen who spoke at the inter-
national convention of the Disciples CT
Christ, which closed its sessions at At
lanta last wednesday.
The president of the convention. DR..
Hill. NJ. Bell. head Of Drake University,
Des Moines, Iowa, in his annual address,
said:
There is no doubt but that the present
war could have been averted II the
churches had been strong enough,
though joining their forces, to have in
fluenced the European governments in
the right way. But the churches are 50
divided among themselves with denonli-
nationalism and strife that they are IN
able at the present time to present any
solid front to the forces Of war and evil,
and therefore they were unable TO pre-
vent the gigantic conflict which has been
precipitated.
However" says Dr. Bell, "the time
Is undoubtedly coming when the churches
will see the futility OF their present
course, when they will combine their
forces in self-protection in the war
against evil, and then the tide Of battle
will turn and they will overcome the
forces OF militRrism. as well as other
BTNdL evils IN Int WOIlQs ana uulNEIEhA
peace will then be possible"
DR.. Robert E. Speer, OF New York, Sec
retary Of the foreign mission board OF the
Northern Presbyterian Church, in his ad-
dresses to the convention, made forceful
appeals for the union of UNCONVENTIONAL
forces in foreign lands.
THE present war ought to be a tre-
mendous warning TO the churches" said
DR.. Speer, ''as demonstrating the result
OF sectarianism and dissension among the
ranks OF the churches of the world. A
divided and discordant church has no
right to deride a divided and discordant
Europe. The readiness of every Euro
pean nation to sacrifice everything that
stood in the way OF its unity In its time
of peril ought to summon the universal
church of Christ to sacrifice every ele-
ment of disunion in order to be one for
its world work"
DR.. Shailer Mathews, Of the~gniversity
OF Chicago, president OF the Federal
Council OF Churches OF Christ in Amer
lea, in his address before the convention.
gave a clear exposition Of the plan OF the
Federal Council of Churches of Christ in
America, saying that only through some
such combination Of their forces as this
could the churches deal with the big
problems Of sociology that are confront
ing the world today, or put down such
evils as war and mihtarism- He eX-
pressed. in almost the same words as Or.

that through the gradual development OF

Good as WeH~aS EviI
Seen in European War

Social progress win have 70 begin all
over again. she says
Here are the movements for pension
ing the aged. for restricting the physi-
cal labor OF women in industry, for re-
lieving the squalor Of slum conditions
peasant classes Of Europe the culture
and advantages hitherto denied them.
Such movements for uplift presunpose
national wealth But the nations are
coming out OF this war poor.
Such movements presuppose leisure, the
shortening Of hours OF labor and the
widening of the margin Of time for cul-
ture and human intercourse. But the
nations are coming out Of the war with
the facilities Of Industry greatly de-
pleted. and II will be the fate OF hum
dreds Of thousands OF women to take
the place In Industry made vacant by
the killing on OF men hread-winners in
battle.
What legislature or parliament will be
in a state OF mind TO consider the finer
devices Of humanizing life. for leveling
up social conditions-devices like the
minimum wage, the old-age pension, the
eight-hour day, the sanitary protection

quarter century has discussed and test

brute facts which this war will leave
with them?
1t has been hard enough to get the
human point qf view defined in our leg
islatures during these times OF peace
and affluence. It will be incomparably
harder when the war has broken down

man has been ascending.
In respect to human progress this
