The Organ of the Baptists OF
Georgia Demands Pay, Before
Publishing Obigu AIRY OF a
Prominent Baptist Preacher.
PAGE EIGHT

n another column, will be found letter
from baptist committee composed of
Dne minister, two deacons and three laymen
In behalf of the Baptist Church at Easton-
Dllee, Georgia, they request the publication in
Hhe Jcffersonian of an obituary and some
Resolutions commemorative of the lifelong
services Of a Baptist clergyman.
The Resolutions themselves disclose the
fact that this Baptist Church desired that The
Christian Index, ''the Organ of the Baptists
of Georgia" publish this obituary notice
But the organ demanded pay, as for an adj
vertisement, and the Church was naturally
hurt and offended.
AS rule, The Jeffersonian could not give
space to local matters of any kind, but there
are times when circums ances demand excep-
tions.
These brethren at East onollee evidently
wished their testimonial to their deceased
pastor to reach the Baptists of Georgia, gen
orally; and therefore they selected The
IndcJ as the organ-and the only denomina-
tionaI orean-through which they could ac-
complish their purpose
The Index tells them, in effect, that 'the
organ" is run for the money.
This sets me to thinking:
How many, many times had the deceased
pit, and In private conversation?
Don't you suppose that, during the 80 years
OF his ministry. he either sent, or influenced
thousands of dollars toward the treasury of
The Index?
During all those long years, how often did
he live ON small salary, paid by churches
whose members were poor; while he was
loyalty serving The Index and the Board, by
preaching missionary sermons and taking up
missionary collections?
Elsewhere in this issue, YOU will find
letter from Christian missionary to India
in which he says. that it is necessary for
missionary to Keep Seren servants.
Those seven are, the cook, the house-maid,
the boy to wait on the table, the gardener,
the WasherWoman, the water-carrier, and the
stable-boy.
Those seven servants are paid less than $18.
q month"; for the whole seven
How many servants had the Rev. W. w.
Stove been able to keep?
Was he able at all times to relieve his good
wife and daughters of the household and
kitchen drudgery?
When he implored his congregations to
give money to foreign missions, he did not
know how he was supporting one of the most
extravagant systems that was ever imposed
upon Christian Churches, by greedy mis-
sonaries, unscriptural Boards, and mercen-
airy organs" published in the interest of a
gigantic pretense and imposition.
/ have no doubt that Brother Stowe hon
estly supported The Southern Baptist Asso-
citation, the Board of Foreign Missions, and
the Christian Index; nor have l any reason
to doubt that he like other Baptist preachers,
were the main props of the stupendous sys-
tenn of so-caled foreign missions, which even
now is demanding from the Baptists q million

secure from The Inde1 the poor consolation
of having it publish the testimonial of his 80
years of consecrated work-a work which en-
deared him to the great section of our State
in which his life's labor was done for his
Lord.
Well, the Editor of The Jeffersonian is no
saint, and very much of sinner, but he has
never hardened his heart against humanity

American and Mexican Con- nissioners Inaiterably Split
 on Issue of Withdrawal. U. s. Stands Firm.
CONDITIONS GETTING
 WORSE IN MEXICO
Despite Mexicans' Assurance All Is Clearing, Reports to U. 5. Forbode Even More CloCr,,v Et,f,,ra
(By Review Leased Wire)

NEW LONDON, Conn. Sept 25- Additions to the already large mass of information regarding Mexicos in- ternal conditions were made at a con ference of the Mexican-American joint commission today. The outstanding feature of the first meeting of the fourth week, however, apparently was the repetition of the failure of the Mexican representatives to bring a. bout an agreement on the withdrawal of the American troops. The Mexi- cans produced reports calculated to show that the attack on Chihuahua by Villa was of no great importance.
 No Withdrawal
 The American commissioners
 were in receipt of reports that
 placed the situation in less op-
 timistic light, and it is improba-
 bIe that the Americans will enter
 into an agreement for the early withdrawal of the American Troops m Mexico.

 MEXICO GREETS HIM
Indians, the Water Wagon and Sufragettes Welcome Him at Albuquerque-Also One Not So Dry.
(By Review Leased Wire)

ALBUQUERQUE N. NJ, Sept. 25.- Wet New Mexico gave the prohibition national campaigners friendly recep- state for two meetings after closing the Arizona campaign with speeches at Flagstaff and Winslow. An hours meeting was held at Gallup this after noon and then the dry special came here for a night meeting. Raton will be visited tomorrow before Colorado is entered.
 ColorfuI Reception.
 Gallup's meeting had a picturesque setting. In the center of the ring of spectators who circled about the rear platform of the train was the town sprinkling cart At one end of it were several Navajo Indians, who are de- nied liquor by federal statute, garbed in their gay robes. At the other end was a spectator, who, having imbided freely, indorsed the dry speeches with loud comment Scattered in other parts of the ring were Mexicans, negroes. pale faced school children dressed in white and small band of ragists Thanking the rim of the circle were several saloons
 Raps S-Hour Method.
 Many miners were in the audience and J. Frank Hanley took occasion to criticize the manner in which the Adamson 8 hour day law was enacted
 "The Prohibition party is for the 8 hour day" he said, but it is for an 8 hour day that shall be won by the fine sense of justice in the heart of the American people and Tot by a bud geon held over the administration at Washington" He aroused applause at every stop today by declaring that universal suffrage was imminent Women do not vote here.
 A Compliment?
 "I believe a woman has as much sense as a bar room bum or as some of the colored persons who cannot read nor write. whom you northerners gave the ballot" he said, "and when she gets the vote, good bye booze If you want to have a drink five years from now you'd better begin to lay it in

SAYS WILSON HAS
 CONFUSED ISSUE
COP. Candidate Talks Many Times, However, at Dayton on 8-Hour Law, But Stirs Little Enthusiasm.
(By Review Leased Wire.)

DAYTON, O., Sept. 25.-Charles E. Hughes. addressing an audience in i Memorial Hall here tonight, replied to statements in President Wilson s speech of Saturday, in connection with the passage of the Adamson law.
 MT. Hughes characterized ds most disagreeable" a reference by Mr. Will son to the so cent gas care in New York as an instance where the courts bad refused to declare a rate fixing law unconstitutional in advance of de- termining how it would operate.
 It has been sought to draw analo- gy," Mir. Hughes said. between such case and legislation in advance of inquiry. The courts have nothing to do with the question of the wisdom or policy of legislation. Questions of constitutionality come before the courts after the legislature has acted. presumably with knowledge of the facts and upon careful inquiry"
 President Wilson's declaration that he considered the S-hour law principle was not arbitrable was commented on.
 Goes Back 18 Years
 Tt is said that the principle was not arbitrable. It is a very extraordinary statement, for eighteen years ago. l believe, in the passage of the act to promote conciliation and arbitration with respect to disputes between in terstate commerce employees and car riers. there was provision made for arbitration with respect to hours of labor. conditions of employment. as we'll as of wages. And in a bill which I believe was signed during July. 1913, the same provision in. believe. sub stantially the same language was re- enacted in the law. provision for ar bitration of wages, conditions of em- ployment and hours of labor.
 of course. the question whether in A particular case that condition exists which should provide for certain number of hours of labor is ques- tion requiring the most earnest con sideration. But no one in this con troversy to which am now referring had any idea of establishing an eight hour work day. The principle of the eight hour work day is not in any way involved"
 "I protest against any endeavor to confuse the thought of America by talking about an eight hour work day when nothing of the sort has been enacted. nothing of the sort has been proposed when anything that was proposed and enacted was a change in the schedule of wages.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-With labor leaders continuing their efforts to bring about a general suspension of work as an aid to the striking car men in this city, members of the state legislature in the Metropolis at a meet ing late today, decided to urge Gov ernor Whitman to convene the legisla- ture in extraordinary session to deal with the strike situation.
 The governor arrived ir the city tonight, and it was expected a con- mittee appointed by the legislators would wait upon him tomorrow.

 BIG BREAD COMBINE
(By Review Leased Wire.)

WASHINGTON. Sept. 25.-Oficials of both the department of justice and the federal trade commission are watching advances of bread prices with considerable interest. but SO far no general program has been deter mined upon. Federal authorities. who have full power to look into the situa- ton in their respective districts. were disposed to watch for any evidences of illegal practices. The department of justice has no power unless there is evidence of combination or agree ment to raise prices in articles that enter into the interstate trade. Only one charge of this nature has been developed.

WINTER TOGS MEAN ARMY
 IS TO STAY ON BORDER

FL PASO, Sept. 25.-Heavy winter clothing was issued today at the army quartermaster's depot to the Sixteenth Pennsylvania Infantry. In view of the fact that the weather here still reaches close to 90 degrees n the day time with mild nights, the guardsmen took the issue as further proof of the many reports that they are to remain indefinitely on the border. The cloth ing supplies were carted to the Penn sylvania camp. which was vacated temporarily this morning when the entire division of 11,700 men left on four days practice march. Only three men from each unit and the band re- mained behind on guard.

In a Smashing Blow, Britons Drive in Flying Wedge Deep Into Teuton Lines, Threat ening to Break Them.
 TWO TOWNS CAPTURED, COMPLIES SURROUNDED French Also Make Notable Gains, While Russia Pre- pares Monstrous New Of- fensive Before Winter.
(By Review Leased wire)

LONDON, Sept. 25.-Attacking sim ultaneously on an arc of fifteen miles, running from Martinpuich to the Somme. the British and French forces have delivered another smash ing blow on the German lines and pushed their position forward for not able gains. North from Martinpuich to Comble for a distance of six miles. the British have driven in their wedge to a depth of more than a mile. and captured in the attack the important strategic towns of Les Beoufs and Morval, the latter a scant mile north of Combles.
 To the French fell the town of Ran court. two miles east, and the out skirts of Freg'court, one mile north east of Combles. In addition trenches near Fregicourt in the vicinity of Bouchauvesnes and to the south from the vicinity of Canal Du Nord to the Somme were taken.
 ccmbIes Doomed
 The capture of Morval by the Brit ish and of part of Fregicourt by the French apparently seals the fate of Combles, which the Germans have determinedly held for weeks despite the violent attacks thrown against it. The defenders of the virtually sur rounded town have left to them for escape only the valley. mile in width running north-northeast. and in the traversing of which they must come under the guns of the British and the French respectively from Morval and from Freg;court.
 Another notable step in their ap- proach on Peronne is marked in the capture by the French of trenches in the Canal Du Nord region.

 'On the night of September 2S and 24. several squadrons of naval air ships extensively bombed London and places of military importance on the Humber and in the middle counties of England, among which were Noting ham and Sheffield.

 The Kreuse Zeitung discusses brief ly the possibility that the British might be able to copy the Zeppelin which they brought down but which was not completely destroyed. They dismiss this. however. saying that England. which has long had posses sion of a captive Zeppelin. has not been able to duplicate it.
