Billy" Sunday Comes to
Make Detroit a Better City:
Come On, You BILLY" Sunday!
And now comes Billy" Sunday.

Anu now comes billy SUNDAY.
And now you are going to hear from a
lot Of cusses that they don't believe in
Billy" and don't believe in that way OF
converting sinners, at ALL
1t is probably just as well to spot these
critics right off the bat.
We don't mean the sincere ones.
Well tell you about them later on.
We mean the critics who are serving.
merely, as mouthpieces for interests that
don't dare come into the open so that
people will know just who they are and
what their particular selfish devilish
interest is in knocking Billy"
We would remind these interests and
4 the mouthpieces they have serving them.
that If they don't like "Billy's" style,
they don't have to go hear him. and that
they hadn't better go anyway. because
Billy" would be likely TO convert them
BY the very methods they are condemn
ing with their overworked bazoos.
1t can be submitted for both the four
flushing critics and those critics whom we
know to be sincere, only mistaken, that
these methods of "Billy's" in converting
sinners, don't have to rely on the ap-
proval of ANYBODY, hereabouts.
II they happen to prove acceptable in
the sight of God, and it's dollars TO
doughnuts they do, the rest of us ought
to be satisfied.
BY their fruits we shall know them. 3"
That's what the Bible says, and in this
case the Bible is Hoye.
Billy Sundays sincere critics aren't
TO be condemned for anything except that
they refuse to get their eyes open.
The Sunday style is what you'd call
preachin' reform, and we all know that
there never yet was reform that wasn't
opposed at first by the standpatters.
Everything that has been done and
everything that has been accomplished in
the world in the shape of reform and
progress. whether religious, social, politi-
cal or economic, has been done in SPITE
Of doubling Thomases hailing from Mis-
souri,
The money changers didn't approve Of
1t when they were made to beat it from
the temple by Jesus Christ, and they had
many sympathizers, the majority of
whom didn't like Jesus Christ, princi-
pally because he was a reformer.
The Pharisies were the original stand
patters.
Fifteen years ago if man was heard
I declaring in Detroit in favor of municipal
ownership he was put down as a Socialist
! or an Anarchist who ought 10 be jugged
for safe keeping and for protection of
the community, but few years later the
people of Detroit piled up whopping big
majority in favor Of Detroit owning and
= operating her street railways.
Billy" Sundays way is different, and
1t is going to take some time before
these sincere critics will be able to stom-
ach him. but they will come to it, and
they'll come TO it before he leaves De-
troit.
See if they don't.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1916-09-09
See if they don't.

Now. here is the big idea with regard
30 the coming Of Billy" Sunday
lie is coming to make this better city,
and God knows there couldn't have been
picked better time.
The town is rotten.
The politicians have promised to clean
up the mess, while we have been going
from bad TO, worse and from worse to
Marx. and they haven't done il.
The church has proven unequal to the
task. which may not be putting il fairly

POLICE ENTRENCHED
 BEFORE OIL YARDS
Nearly All Bayonne Guardians Out
 for Strike Duty STREETS ARE BARRICADED
Two Rioters Shot in Yesterdays Dis
 turbance Not Expected to Live-Au-
 Which Traffic Had Been Blocked.

Bayonne, N. J., Oct. 11.-Virtual- ly all the police of this city are on guard duty at the plants of the Stand ard Oil company, the Tidewater Oil Company, Bergen Point Chemical Works and Vacuum Oil Company at Constable Hook, where four policemen and nine rioters were wounded yes terday in a battle between the police and 1000 strikers. Two of the strik- CTS are not expected to recover. The policemen were not dangerously hurt
 Most of the police were entrenched early today before the yards of the Tidewater Oil Company while the strikers and their sympathizers gath cred block away
 2,3OO Men on Strike.
 The rioting was an outgrowth of a strike of 1,5O0 employees of the Standard Oil Works which closed that plant, throwing 5000 more men out. Six hundred men of the Vacuum Oil Company and 200 of the Tidewater Oil Company's employees joined the strike. The strikers attempted yesterday to blockade a trolley line by upsetting a flat car on the rails, whereupon the police charged them and the shooting ensued.
 The trolley lines leading to the sec- tion where the plants affected are To- cated were barricaded by strikers and sympathizers today and no cars were running early. The transit of work men was in some degree met by the use of tugs and motor boats
 After a small disturbance early in the day the police arrested two men, and it was asserted that many of the strikers and their followers arrested were reported to be carrying weapons.
 Later in the day policemen forced open the avenue which had been bar ricaded and cars began to run.

CHURCH DYNAMITED
Catholic House of Worship in Tram ingham Attacked by Unknown, But Police Have Clue.

Birmingham, Mass, Oct 11.-The finding of a note pinned with knife to a tree near St. Stephens Roman Catholic church early today gave the police a slight clue from which they hoped to be able to trace the person responsible for the damaging of the structure by an explosion last night. The authorities declined to make pub lie the contents of the note.
 A suspect arrested a Brookline last night was released today.
 Walter L. Wedger, bomb expert of the state police, after examining the building said that the explosion un- doubtedly was caused by dynamite. He was of the opinion that six or seven sticks of the explosive were set off by means of a rope fuse and porous sion caps.

 TAKES OUT LICENSE
New Britain's Octogcnarian Million aire, Enjoying Splendid Health
 Prepares for Real Sport Afield.

Darius Miller New Britains octo- genarian millionaire, today celebrated his 87th birthday by taking out a hunters license. Mr. Miller is a veteran huntsman as well as a finan- cier of more than statewide reputa- tion and it may be stated in all truth that no sportsman in this locality of half his years more keenly enjoys day in the open.
 Clean shaven, rugged of feature and with a healthful glow in hls weather beaten checks Mr. Miller would attract notice in any company, for although he today passes his S7th milestone it is doubtful if a sturdier or more vigorous figure walks the streets. He has been engaged in the drygoods business in this city for more than half a century,

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. '1.-As the result of the arrest of Fred Dato, brother-in-law of Colonel Esteban Cantu, military governor of lower California, at Calexico, last night. on the charge of violating United States neutrality laws, Robert J. O'Connor, assistant United States district attor- ney, ordered the arrest of an official of local sporting goods house and two prominent local MeXicans on the charge of conspiracy to violate the presidents proclamation of October, 1915, prohibiting the exportation and shipment of arms and ammunition to Mexico and Lower California.
 According to O'COnnor, Dato, in conspiracy with the Los Angeles men, ordered ten machine guns from a manufacturer of Connecticut, and these were expected to arrive here to- morrow. United States Marshal Wal ton said he would seize the guns inn mediately upon their arrival.
 We have no proof as to the ul- innate destination of the ten guns, but we know they were to be sent to Ell Centro, Calif., and assume from that point they were to be sent by motor truck into Mexicali, Mexico" said OCOnnor.

The new war loan is not expected to be floated be- fore spring, next year.
