HARLAN ATTACKS ALL
OF WILSON'S POLICIES
RoaSts President for Not Severing
With Germany over Lusi-
tania Incident.

John Maynard Harlan, son OF the
late Chief Justice Harlan, spoke for
Hughes at the high school Friday
night 70 an audience that filled less
than one-half Of the seats. Harlan
attacked everything that the pres
ident has said or done
Three issues were touched upon
by Harlan. They were peace, pre-
paredness and prosperity. The
greatest amount OF time was de-
voted 10 the former subject by Har-
Ian. He derived the conduct OF the
Mexican affairs Of the past few
years and was bitter in his denun-
citation OF Pres't Wilson's efforts 10
keep this country out Of war with
the European nations.
In speaking OF the Lusitania ques-
ton Harlan said that had a man
with a strong backbone and a de-
sire TO uphold "Americanism" been
in the White house our relations
with Germany would have been
severed at once and that even then
we would not be involved in war
because Germany would have to
swim the Atlantic in order 10 get
over here 70 fight US.
Harlan declared that the L. :.
did not send the troops to Mexico
to salute the flag. as Pres't Wilson
in his message to congress upon
the subject declared. but TO drive
Huerta out Of the country. Har-
Ian said that Wilson should have
been impeached for his action in
this one instance
Sec'y of War Baker and Sec'y Of
the Navy Daniels came in for an
unmerciful roasting in the polished
sarcasm of the speaker for their
part in the preparedness program
and he said that il they were con-
tinued in charge Of these depart
ments the navy would decrease in
stead Of increase. He ridiculed the
phrase in the preparedness meas
ire passed by congress which says
that the program of building can
be changed at the discretion of the
president, and said that with "A man
the type of Wilson in the White
house he would be afraid of such
q measure.

ROAD TO DESTRUCTION
Address on "The Punishment of the
Wicked" at the Gospel Services
Last Night.

Evangelist Gibson spoke last night
at the gospel tent on north Wash
ineton street from Romans vi, rs
"For the wages of sin is death, but
the gift of God is eternal life through
Jesus Christ our Lord" Among other
things the speaker said: :: {, ia
death is; "a total and permanent ces-
sation of all the vital functions; ex-
.tinction of life. The wages of sin IS
death, not life, not eternal life OF
torment or torture, but an extinction
Of life. Sin is transgression of
Gods law, the Ten Commandments.
For whatsoever committeth sin trans
gresseth also the law; for sin is the
4transgression of the law. The way of
life is through Jesus Christ. If we
confess our sins, he is faithful and
just to forgive us Of our sins and
clease US from all unrighteousness.
By beholding we become changed.
Let us, therefore, look unto Him who
is able to keep US from falling and
present us faultless before the pre-
sence of His glory with exceeding
joy. Behold Jesus! That which des-
troys the, wicked is the fire which
comes down from God out of heaven
and devours them, which is the Sec
ond death. 81:
The subject tonight will be "Bible
Sanctifcation.
