THERE is a modicum of truth in
this item taken from the Scott Coun-
ty kicker. I give Bro. Hafner credit
for speaking out in meeting"-some-
thing some of us at times are a little
afraid to do:
Burk and Hobbs, the "evangelists,'
closed their performance at jackson
Sunday night claiming over 500 "con-
verts." OF course they did the people
gooe-and plenty. The ''evangelists"
have the money, their victims have
what they believe to be ''religion,"
and everybody is happy.
But these crossroads "evangelists''
that hit Southeast Missouri are small
fry when compared with such artists
as Billy Sunday. Billy goes after
the "long green" with a shovel. He
has just closed a s'revival" in
Philadelphia at which the press dis
patches say he cleaned up SOL 900.
do not claim to be a bible student,
but the little l know about the life of
Christ has never impressed me with
the idea that he was always passing
the contribution box. Nor did he live
off the fat of the land while the
masses were ragged and hungry.
Somebody ought to get busy in try
ing to Christianize the so-called
Christian religion.

Mr.. DAMRoN has two letters in this
issue of the REGIsTER-one addressed
to the editor of the Prospect News
and the other to me. Bro. Campbell
may deal with the former; the latter
calls perforce to my attention. If
the editor Of the prospect-New has
misre presented Mr.. Damron, it is his
duty, upon conclusive showing, to
make full correction and due apology;
and, il he does, the REGISTER will give
it record. Until then, that phase of
the matter may be held in obeyance,
and the sun rise and set ad interim in
his old fashioned way. Mr.. Damron
says that while l was quick to adverse
ly criticise, commentator of the good
he did has been conspicuous in these
columns by reason of its absence,
Either his memory is faulty or his OBJ
servation has been circumscribed and
distorted. To occasional criticism of
the legislative body as a whole, l
plead guilty; but, until the question
of "2x4" subsidization came up, his
personality was not discussed; even
then not seriously or with bitterness.
He ascribes our differences to his
''dryness" and my "wetness," and in
ferentially claims that because Of this
] am unwilling to give credit for the
good he did as Representative; but
he is wrong. No adverse criticism has
been given him where his "dry' mad
ness did not deny him the exercise OF
good judgment based upon plain
democratic principle. In his list OF
the good bills he advocated and the
bad bills he opposed he gives no
place--singularly indeed-to the one
to which he was putative father: the
transcendent measure which would
have required me to make oath, be-
fore I could take a half-gallon Of
whiskey from the express Office, that
/ had not been drunk for a twelve
month, and to have my name enroll

but surely, from a "dry" point Of
view, II deserved honorable men.

WASHINGTON DISCUSSES
EFFECT ON AMERICA
Italy.s E.ntrance Into War VIII Lessen
Imports But Increase
Exports.

Washington, May 23.-Onicial con-
firmation OF report OF Italy's declara-
ton Of war against Austria had not
been received here this evening, but
was expected hourly.
The action OF Italy, of course. comes
a. no surprise to the Washington ad-
ministration. or TO the diplomatic
corps
Just what effect the entrance of the
latest beliigerent will have on the In
terests OF the United States Is not yet
known here. There is naturally con-
siderable speculation over its prob
able effect on American trade, both
exports and imports. Italy has al
ready become a purchaser or vast
quantities OF supplies in the United
States and II Is expected these will
be increased as her operations pro-
coed.
1t has been suggested that the prob
abilities are that Italys exports to the
United States will be decreased with
the absorption of so many Of her pro-
ductive laborers into the field armies.
This, of course. would have the effect
OF further lessening the United States
customs revenues, which already have
decreased to an extent that may re-
quire special session Of Congress.
Dipiomaticaliy the effect of tine
war will be to add to the burdens OF
the United states government. II Il
understood that both the Austrian and
Italian. diplomatic ard consular inter-
ests will be entrusted to the repre-
sentatives az the United states. Ger
many and Turkey will be included In
the area affected as declarations oi
war upon Italy are expected from
those two governments Immediately
Germany, however. Is placing her In
tercsts in charge OF the Swiss govern
ment.
II is certain that there will be no
more definitions OF American cargoef
consigned to points In Italy on the
ground that their ultimate destina-
ton Is territory hostile to the allies
for Italy can he counted on ~ cn,irse
to prevent any such consignment
ever reaching their destinations.
