STRUGGLE FOR LIVING
TOO GREAT FOR PASTOR

Memphis, Tenn. Oct. 6.-John
Wesley Dickens, Baptist preacher,
is dying at a local hospital, having
fired a bullet into his head at the
Y. NJ. C.. A. here. A note he wrote
says the cause of his act was ina
bility, on the small salary of a
preacher, to care properly for his
wife and four little children, and ex-
pressed the hope that the sacrifice
of his life might do some COED to-
ward elerating conditions under
which the ordinary preachers live.
Rev. Mr.. Dickens came to Men,
phis just week ago to take charge
of a new church, and in his note
wrote that the struggle of an cover
worked, underpaid, dekt-inrreasing,
mind-dfstracted, Misunderstanding
preacher, as well as husband and
father,'' was too great for him to
bear.
Mr.. Dickens had charge of the
new Baptist congregation which had
been organized at Normal, to serve
the new community growing up
around the West Tennessee Normal
School.
He preached his first sermon last
Sunday in tent there. He had
been busy during the week organic
ing his new congregation and at
tempting to raise funds for the cree
ton of the new church building.
He was graduate of Union, Uni
xersity, Jackson, Tenn, and of the
Baptist Theological Seminary of
Louisville, Ky.

and vacillating in his dealings with

to all nations throughout the world

Washington, Sept. Is, 1917
Charles f. Hughes made an exco-
Rating attack on President Grant
and the Alabama Claims award in a
campaign speech which he delivered
here tonight. Mr.. Hughes showed
that the Alabama began its depreda-
tons in 1862 and that ten years had
been allowed to lapse before a settle
ment was reached. The blame for
this, he said, rested largely upon
President Grant, who had dawdled
and temporized for more than three
years after taking Office before fore
ing the claims to an issue. I'VE
have had brave words" he said. "It
is not words, but strength and reso-
luton behind the words. that count.
] believe in America First and Eff
cient," he added.
Mr.. Hughes voice is weak, but he
intends to continue the campaign
with undated vigor.-[New York

GERMAN PRESS DEFIANT
NEED STRONG REBUKE

The German press in New York
make no bones in boasting that the
German-American alliance stood
with ia solid front against .Roose-
Senatorship in New York and that
his defeat is due to their efforts, be-
cause the Colonel dared TO show up
their designs. These papers claim
that they have defeated nearly ev-
cry Republican for the nomination
who voted for Mr.. Wilson's foreign
policies. They are backing Hughes
with all their might and he, fearing
their opposition, is counting their
support by pussyfooting when he
ought to come out boldly against the
disloyalists who put their native
land over that of their adoption. The
Republican party is in open partner
ship with this unholy alliance and
Mr.. Hughes accepts it by his failure
to repudiate it. Vote Tor the man
who has the courage to say that he
neither fears the German conspira-
tors nor seeks their favor. His cleo
ton win be a victory for America.
That of Hughes would be heralded
and priced by the Kaiser as victo-
ry for Germany and his theory of
the divine right of kings to rule the
world.

Was Action Of President
and Congress
IN ENACT|NG EIGHT-HOUR Law
Had No Controversy With Either
Party-What the. Strike
Would Have Done.
MORAL FORCE BEHIND 1T ALL

The action of President Wilson
and Congress in enacting the eight
hour law was no surrender to force.
Messrs. Hughes, Lodge, Roose-
welt, Penrose, Pierpont Morgan and
George w. Perkins may maintain
that the administration surrendered
to force, but that does not prove the
fact.
The President and Congress had
no controversy with either party to
the threatened strike. The contro-
versy was between the managers of
the railroads and the men who ran
the trains.
The effect of the strike would have
been fearful. Everybody realized
this. kilograms from every part of
the Union poured in on the Presi-
dent and Congressman, praying them
to avert the strike.
The farmers and the fruit grow
ers' products would have rotted for
lack of transportation. The poor in
cities would have suffered for food,
for coal and other necessities. The
manufacturers of the country, the
whole business fabric would have
collapsed Universal distress and
permanent loss of tremendous pro-
portions would have resulted.
Such we're the conditions the Pres
ident faced-such the calamity he
bravelysand periodically averted
from the nation Action, Immediate
action was demanded and immediate
action, was demanded and immediate
a benefcence and blessing to the
country.
The opulent, sinister, special in
terests and persons seeking political
capital may condemn the President,
but the working men and women,
those who would have borne the
brunt of the loss and suffering, will
not.
The controversy was settled right.
Neither party to it would have sub
mitted to a wrong settlement. The
principle of arbitration, always
maintained by the President, had ne
application to the poinf-thaf eight
hours labor constitutes a lawful
days work-already settled by the
laws of nearly every State and the
laws of the Federal Government in
kSs relation to its own employees and
those having contracts with it.
The only force exertfd WIS the
moral force of the Presidents right
position backed by the sense and ap-
pfoval of the whole people. That
was the only force yielded to. and
the yielding was done by the rail-
road magnates, unless yielding to
force was done by the seventy Re-
publican Congressman who voted for
the eight-hour law, and the Repub-
.lican Senators who could have pre-
vented it's passage but did not nor
made any effort to.
The railroads take the position
that the question was not an eight

Whereas, it further appears to this
Board that seven ca of said certfi-
Gates hereinafter specifically des-
cribed in section "B' of this resolu-
tom were issued for delinquent taxes
due from certain public utilities are
void and worthless by reason of the
fact that such taxes We're not a lien

that said certificates do not describe
any property; and
Whereas, it appears to this Board
that az of said certificates therein
after specifically described in section
CO. of this resolution are invalid
for the reason that the lands therein
described were not subject to taxation
for the year 1918, and that no final
certificates have ever been issued
thereon by the United States land

READY FOR WAR?
PRESIDENT ASKS.

Washington. April 13.-President
Wilson speaking at a Jefferson day
banquet OF Democrats from all parts OF
the country here tonight, prayed that
the United States would not be drawn
into a quarrel not of its own choosing,
but asked If the people were ready to
go in where the interests Of America
were coincident with the interests of
humanity and have the courage to
withdraw when the interests of human
ity had been conserved. He was in
terrupted by cheers and shouts of
yes"
During his address the President had
mentioned the European war and the
Mexican question, without intimating
what were his plans in either of the
problems confronting the United
States.
He declared that in the present situa-
ton the responsibility was with the
Democratic party, because that party
controls the Government and that lit
lis for u.s. to hold the balance even and
not to allow some malign influence to
depress one side or the other
Most OF the speech was devoted to
reviewing the achievements Of the
Democratic party during the last three
years, and to criticism Of the Repub-
licans as the party with "a provincial
spirit" The President asserted that
the nation was better prepared than
ever before to show how America can
lead the way along the path OF light
The President declared that he was
not Interested in personal ambition. nor
even enthusiastic over party success
but that he was interested in seeing
the load depressing humanity lifted. He
mentioned none Of the Republican lea
ders by name but when he spoke of
ambitious men, there We're shouts Of
ct. r.
What the nation demands now. the
President said. is service essentially
nOnpartisau. not only in consideration
of foreign affairs. but in domestic az
fairs as we'll
Referring incidentally to Mexico he
told ~ how man had urged that trtIs-
tees for that nations welfare he chosen,
achieved real prosperity and happiness
for its masses through trusteeship
imposed on it from above.
1t was the first speech of political
nature the President has MAD
eral months and was deliv
an audience including ne:.rl al the.
members Of his Cabinet. members OF
the senate and House. Democratic
s. rnairmen from many States. and
Other nigh officials Of the nation and
States gathered to attend the annual
banquet OF the Common Counsel Club.
