POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FIND

The plan adopted by Cornelius N.
Bliss, Jr, treasurer of the Republican
National Committee, to raise money
for the campaign and increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
ton Of Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who favors the
to have the support of Republican
Senate and House to contribute SO
and become q sustaining member of
the Republican party. All such will
receive a certificate of membership.
That the money will prove a good in
vestment Is patent. 1t will help to Sc
cure for the country more efficient
administration of our national affairs,
which is necessary If the prosperity
and influence Of the nation is to con-
tinue.
''There are at least 100000 Repub-
licans, but how many of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con-
sciousness that they have voted or
will vote the Republican ticket? The
work Is done by faw and the money
ordinarily is provided by fewer. Mr..
Bliss plan offers cure for that con-
dition. Help the cause and get GER
ltificate of membership that will estab-
lish your party utilization. 1t Is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
licans Will give $40 each, but If a
goodly number who can afford it do
so there will be a great many more
able to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean to the country In fullest measure
preparedness, protection and perma-
nent prosperity.

given [ h e Roman o. rd"S DeleHSe'
authorities considerable trouble. ST..
Paul answered that he was q jew Of
an honorable city, and again asked the
privilege Of speaking to the people.
His request was granted.
Then st. Paul stood on the stairs
and motioned silence, in order to ad-
dress the mob. Doubtless he consider.
ed his thrilling experiences well COM
pensated for by the privilege of telling
large concourse of his countrymen
about Jesus. Promptly he preached
Christ-that Jesus of Nazareth was
the promised Messiah, that His sac
rificial death constituted the Redemp.
ton Sacrifice for Adams forfeited life
and, incidentally, for all of Adams
children, who died under his death
sentence Surely also he declared that
Messiah was calling spiritual class
to be His associates in His Millennial
Kingdom, and that shortly Israel and
all the nations would experience the
blessings of that Kingdom. Then he
proceeded to tell about his missionary
tours. He declared that many of the
Gentiles were gladly receiving this
Message and giving their hearts to the
Lord in full conservation.

But so strong was the Jewish preju-
dice that the mere mention of the fact
that this great blessing was going

lence; and their shouts and jeers rent
the air. Perplexed at the situation,
the Roman commandment concluded
that where there was so much opposi-
ton there must be some cause for IL.
Thereupon he gave orders that the
Apostle be whipped until he confessed
what he had done to create such a
tumult.
At once the command began to be
carried out by the soldiers, who pro-
ceeded to tie st. Paul to the whipping
post. But the Apostle brought the pro-
ceedings to quick termination by in
quiring Of centurion who stood by,

that is Roman and uncondemned?"
When the centurion heard the uues-
ton, he reported 1t to the colonel, who
came and questioned the Apostle. He
took st. Paul's word for it that he was
Roman citizen; for to have made an
untruthful claim to citizenship would
have meant death, as soon as the mat
ter had been investigated. The Apos.
tie was held prisoner for trial.

brought the matter of his arrest more

Charles Evans HugheS.-T0ledO Blade.
President Wilson appears to have
been keenly alive to the expediency
of accepting several invitations to
make speeches In the West. Nobody
knows any better than he that 1t will
take considerable shoveling to fill up
the holes that have been dug In that
locality by Justice Hughes.
1t was John P. st. John Of Kansas,
one time Prohibltionist candidate for
president Of the United States, who
said that Americans vote as they
cheer. II so, there Is mighty little
consolation for the Democratic party
In this campaign, for the Democratic
Administration In three years has CIV
en- us nothing to cheer over. On the
contrary, as Mr.. Hughes has said,
these last three years have been years
of humiliation and embarrassment.
Mr.. Wilson says his mind is pro-
gressive, but those who try to follow
its progress can never tell the direc-
ton 1t Is taking. 1t Is just as likely
to be progressing backward as for
ward. e.
