Old Ben Tillman doesn't talk much
here of late years in the Senate be-
cause his health is frail and he is
afraid of losing his temper, which
might result in a stroke of paralysis,
but he says something worth while
whenever he opens his mouth. He is
chairman of the Senate committee on
naval affairs and knows all about
the navy, and the other day in a
brief speech he thoroughly roasted
the Hon. George Won Meyer, former
secretary of the navy, who has been
extensively loud here of late CRITICS.
ing Secretary Daniels and his admin
istration. Won Meyer is a snob,
pure and simple, and he was the
nearest approach to total failure
that has ever held the naval port
folio. Josephus Daniels, on the con-
trary, comes very near to being the
best secretary of the navy the coun-
try Yer had, as his actual admins
trative record shows. A perfumed
pet poodle, with a dainty blue rib
bon around his neck, fresh from his
little bathtub, frantically barking
behind the fence at real dog grave
ly walking along the sidewalk,
would be about the right comparison
in sizing up the Hon. Won Meyer and
Secretary Daniels.

tor. Bro. Wears text: II that
speak unto thee am He,' was taken
from the conversation of Jesus with
the woman of Samaria at jacob $
we'll. Jesus desires to reveal him
self to everyone; desires everyone to
drink of this water of life. The d.
vinity in our natures, made in God 8
image. Graves this eternal water of
life; nothing satisfies the thirsty
soul but to drink of this water and
thirst no more. Through the medium
of this Samaritan woman, a whole
city was led to the feet of Jesus
the evil in her life revealed, she
turns to Jesus, who can make the
vilest pure. Closing with an appeal
10 the membership to be more con-
secrated in their service, to be soul
winners for Jesus, making an earn
est Plea to the unsaved to come and
drink of this water of life, picturing
the life without Jesus void and
empty. The life that is one with
Jesus is full and complete, is soul
satisfying, having Jesus we have all
things. At the close of the service
three joined the church by letter,
and one candidate for baptism.

fine SERMONS AT
BAPTIST CHURCH
YESTERDAY

The, morning services at the First
Baptist church were helpful and in
spring. Bro. Wears subject, Pow
er of Personal Faith in the Individ-
ual Life" was q sermon that was
calculated to increase the faith of
each believer. The text was from
John SIS: And this He said to
prove him, for he himself knew
what he, would do" Analysing the
text, showed how God proves us, Of
ten by adversely, by many trials in
this life that we may be refined into
pure gold. In all our problems God
knows what is best. He knows just
the remedy suited to our special
need. Gods wonderous foreordina-
tion and predestination underlying
the plan of each individual life. In
the special application of the text
to his people, Bro. Wear cited
Philips lack of faith in the feeding
of the five thousand, how Philip
stopped to count the costs, his great
apathy no help to the Master, An
drew with his faith supplying the
key to the situation; by his faith
the multitudes were fed; Philips
lack of faith finds counterpart in
many of the church members of to-
day. 1t is faith that will make us
stalwart soldiers of the cross; faith
that satisfies, does not count costs,
but ever looks unto Jesus who is
the author and finisher of our faith
Bro. Wear spoke in the most i'm
pressive manner in regard to the
great work being done in our church
how this work was started in
faith, through love of God, and for
the extension of His Kingdom. T he
Scriptural plan Of placing Gods Of
fering for the building fund upon a
table by each contributor was car
ried out. Singing "My Faith Looks
| Up to Thee" This made a most i'm
pressive scene.
! At the evening hour an immense
congregation worshiped together
The singing was of the finest order
The choir of trained voices gave
some fine choruses. The orchestra
gave very beautiful selection while
the evening offring was being made
Mr.. PercOni delighted all with q
solo on the flute-that instrument
which n the hands of an artist
stirs the soul; after listening to this
most delightful melody our souls
were lifted up and our hearts made
more receptive to the words of eter-
nal life as spoken by our dear pas

judgeship than he. A few years ago
we read much sound and temperate
literature from capable sources con-
corning Louis Brandies and his
work, and from it we gathered he
was one of the best lawyers in this
country, of very conspicuous ability
and deep learning, and, above all
things, a passionate lover of justice,
cleanliness and fair play in the ad-
ministration of government by the
corporations as we'll as the nation
and States.
We feel sure that President Will
son has had and has used better OPP
portunities to find out all about Mr..
Brandies and his fitness for the
bench than the Times-UniOn has,
and SO believing, we ratify his APP
pointment as another good one by a
president who has been conspicuous
ly fortunate in the character of the
men to whom he has given Office.
The notion that judges should De
appointed because of their pro or an
Incorporation tendency is all wrong
and is glaringly inconsistent with
the judicial function itself, which
implies absolute impartiality. The
man is both mentally and morally
inadequate who can't lay aside the
prejudices and predictions of his
professional life when he goes on the
bench, and hold the scales of justice
even. All of our great judges were
lawyers first and had their preju-
d:ces in behalf of the clients whose
interests they were employed to pro-
tect.

AN APPOINTMENT
FIT TO BE MADE

President Wilson seefrs entirely
unable to satisfy the Times Union.
He is wrong on military prepared
ness and pretty nearly everything
else, according to that esteemed but
sometimes mistaken journal. His
last offense seems to have been as
red rag to a bull in the eyes of
the T.-U., for he has appointed Louis
Brandies to the supreme bench. and
there is well-defined rumor abroad
that Louis is not partial to railroad
corporations and insists that they
shall stay strictly W thin proper
limits and obey the law.
The T.-U. says that Mr.. Brandies
is not lawyer OF known ability,
and has not the judicial tempera-
ment and it can hardly conceive OF
a man less lifted lor supreme

Sharp Williams would be mighty
fine man to succeed him. He is one
of the conspicuously sane and sensi-

Here is some excellent testimony
about Florida roads from a northern
observer who has travelled over them
which shows that we are performing
as Will as preaching, on the road
question down here, and building as
we'll as boosting. 1t is an extract
from a letter by F lorida tourist
in the Centralia (Ill.) Sentinel:
There are more fine roads around
Ocala (Which is in Marion county,
than in all Southern Illinois. In
fact, we saw more fine roads in one
trip through Florida than in all the
other States passed through put to-
gether. In Florida every man is a
good roads advocate, and the kicker
is so scarce he never counts in any
good roads election; no one in the
State ever heard of a good roads cleo
tion going adversely. You can see

through unimproved lands"
