URGE CHURCHGO|NG
ALONG RIVER TOWNS
Washington Lads Carry Cru
sade Down Mississippi in
TWeIve.Foot Canoe.

With the idea of carrying direct to
the people of the river districts. from
the headwaters of the Ohio river to the
Gulf Of Mexico, the Go to Church
campaign inaugurated In Washington
last year. Harold Keats. former church
editor of The Washington Times, and
Z. NJ. Nichols. also Of Washington. left
Pittsburgh today In a 'sever.een-foot
canoe. which will be their horne during
a four months crusade down the Ohio
and Mississippi rivers to New Orleans.
The young men are carrying with
them the written Endorsement of Presi-
dent Wilson, which they won during the
60 to Church" campaign waged in
Washington last year. The text of the
message is:
Il need not tell you that your eff
forts to quicken the church-going
habit among our peorle meets with .
nv warmest sympathy. II has al
ways seemed to me that the habit E
church going somehow lay at the
foundation of steadfast character
and maintenance Of the standards of
life"
Embark Without Funds.
In leaving Pittsburgh on their church
going mission, the two young men have
inausurated an unprecedented movement
They embarked with no funds to buy
provisions. and will depend entirely on
their own efforts for their living. work
ing en- route and selling to newspapers
descriptive accounts of their trip, and
telling OF their progress
Nelther OF the two has ever before
paddled on the Ohio or Mississippi. but
both are expert canoeists. They are
young, clear-eyed, and athletes Of no
little prowess, and In urging their doc
trines they will dwell upon the fact that
church-going and mollycoddle-ism are
not synonymous, as 50 many believe.
Each viii, as a proof of the fallacy of
this idea, offer TO prove that he Is the
equal OF any one Of the same size and
cal challenges especially directed at the
scoffers in the towns and villages on
the route who come to sneer at the
efforts of the young crusaders.
Ask Months Pledge.
Keats says that going to church on
one gala day is no test Of a mans in
tentions; that he ought to go regularly
for month, and then 1t Is up to the
preacher to hold him The movement as
advocated by Keats and Nichols is nom
sectarian, and during their recent cam
paign here received the support of
every church man in Washington They
plan to give talks in each river town,
asking their hearers to pledge them
selves to go to church or four success
sive Sundays.
Keats, who Is only twenty-five years
old, was a student at George Wash
ington University. and was the young
est man ever graduated from that in
cfi NJ
college graduates in the United States
at the time he took his degree His
success as church editor of The Times
led to his interest in the "Go-to- Church"
campaign. He plans further crusades

Women, Following Lead
of Lady Garden, Refuse
to Leave Mexico City

VERA CRUZ. July 1.-The failure
of the British minister, Sir Lionel
Garden, to induce Lady Garden, who
was born an American, to leave Mexico
City until he should go, has resulted
In the refusal of a large part of the
women of the foreign colony to avail
themselves of the governments offer
to transfer them out of the country,
according to the story of an English
man who was present at the meeting
at which the minister advised his
countrymen to leave Mexico.
Reports received yesterday Indicate
that only a fow of the foreign colony
intend to leave the capital, and some
the American lines here instead of
proceeding by the circuitous route via
Puerto Mexico. Sir Lionel informed
the British residents that this was the
last official effort his government
would make to get its nationals out.
HeApointed out the imminence of the
cutting of all lines of communication
and advised them to seize this oppor-
tunity.
The general meeting of the British
colony was held at the legation. The
minister set forth the case with much
earnestness, and majority of the
men appeared to regard his counsel as
wise. The women generally demurred;
they said that they were not con-
vinced there was any danger even if
they were forced to remain in the
capital, and when they learned that
Lady Garden would not go they also
refused to leave
The American authorities here say
they have no information regarding
the reported departure from Mexico

Barnes Seys Colonel Declares
Himself to Be an Aut0crat

NEW york. July william
Barnes, chairman of the Republican
State committee, in statement last
night, takes issue with Theodore
Roosevelt on declarations made by
the former president in his speech at
Pittsburgh, and replies to criticisms
of himself contained in that address
Chairman Barnes said Colonel
Roosevelt's assertions in regard to
legislation were unwarranted, giving
as an illustration the course of work
mems compensation legislation in this
State.
'.Mr. Roosevelt has contended that
nothing but bad men and bad in
fiuefces control in the State OF New
York. and this crucial constitutional
amendment and legislation has oeen
passed in the swiftest time on rec
ord"
MT. Barnes declared Colonel Roose-
welt, in his Pittsburgh speech, had
served notice that If Mr.. Roosevelt
succeeds in his ambition it will be his
endeavor to establish w this country
an absolute autocracy and to super
sede the law by his fiat.
"There is one thing which every
man who is worth anything wants;
that is understanding. The character
of a nation depends upon the under
standing of it's people. The man who
will accept such balderdash as Mr..
Roosevelt proposes should examine
his own mental equipment and put 1t
back in working order, 1t is the only
thing which he has that separates
him from the beast. 1t is priceless
heritage. which has come down to
him through generations of develop
ment. He should cherish, not abuse

Penrose Says Progressives
Only Assist Democrats

PITTSBURGH, July 1.-Senator
Boies Penrose last night promptly is
sued a reply to Colonel Roosevelt's
speech.
.It is difficult for me to determine
lust when Mr.. Roosevelt reached the
conclusion to which he referred; It
certainly was not in 1904. when the
returns from Pennsylvania in the
presidential election in that year were
sent to him by me, as chairman of the
Republican State Committee" Sena-
tor Penrose says, in opening his state
rncnt, and then issues the Following
letter he says he received from MI
Roosevelt at that time:
my Dear Senator Penrose-Upon
my word, of all phenomenal returns,
the returns from Pennsylvania are
most phenomenal / congratulate you
and cordially thank you Faithfully
yours. THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
Discussing the last Republican ma
tional convention, the statement
SAYS: "Mr. Roosevelt at no time had
a majority of the convention. 1t Is
n,fficient 10 say that the rules under
which the convention acted, regard
less of the delegates and all matters
OF procedure, we're precisely the same
rules which Mr.. Roosevelt had insist
