the state Anti-Saloon League, today
charged irregularity, asserting that
election officials in one OF the pre-

Rev. J. M. Evans, who preached
possibly his last sermon in Kentucky
at the First Presbyterian Church last
night, was brought up In this section
and since 1854 has counted 1t his
home.
He was born in Nicholas county In
1885, attended school at Carlisle,
graduating at Centre College, Dam
vile, in 1862, and the Theoogical
Seminary there in 1865. He had sue
cessful pastorates at Mayslick and
Augusta, but the greater part Of his
life has been given to evangelistic la
bors. He has preached over $4,000
times, receiving into the Presbyterian
Church $500 persons. About twenty
young men entered to ministry un-
der his encouragement, some of them
now very prominent. He was instru-
mental, directly or indirectly, in
building about fifty churches.
1t is doubtful if a minister in his
church has done more vigorous
evangelistic work, for many Of these
have been very difficult fields which
none but one of his great energy and
evangelistic skill could have awaken
ed. Even more wonderful than his
success in public appeal has been his
skill in personal work. In this he
was indefatigable, and gifted with a
great power of guiding and urging in
quiries to decision.
In doing this great work for his
own church Mr.. Evans has been in
terested in the work of all denomi-
nations, and has labored in them al
times, assisting building up their
charities. At 80 years of age he is
still vigorous as a worker and preach
er, and will no doubt do much good
in Texas, to which he now removes
his residence.
Mrs. Evans, his devoted wife, was
a daughter of Robert Humphries, for
mer high sheriff of Mason county, ant
member of the Legislature. The fam
lily are kinsmen of the Hon. William
Jennings Bryan. She attended Wash
ington Academy, and numbered among
her friends the most charming wo'
men of the country. She has always
been very popular and will be missed
from this community as much as hel
husband.
Five children we're born to this es
timable couple, two of whom are liv
ing now in Houston, Texas; Mrs
George Bruce and Mr.. Joseph Evans
both Of whom are we'll known ant
we'll liked here.
In bidding good bye to these oil
friends, we rejoice with them that thu
homes of these affectionate childrer
are waiting for them, and a hom'
above to which all may be gathered
In.

WHY LaFollette?

The few misguided radicals in the Tacoma
labor movement who are seeking to bring Sena-
tor La Toilette to Tacoma under union auspices
now explain that they are impelled in that course
by the fact that he has been a friend Of labor
legislation in congress-
Bosh! Suppose, in days gone by, he has been
would the outside world attribute that as reason
why Tacoma welcomed him now to her bosom9
What labor legislation did he particularly sup
port during the session just ended7 He joined the
wealth-conscription forces, it is true, after the
movement had gained considerable Roadway un-
der Hiram Johnson's leadership. His coming in
to the ranks Immediately did the cause irrepara-
BILE injury. For the chief pro- German anti
Wilson leader in congress to be for the measure
damned it. That is one outstanding example of
how La Toilette "helped labor" in the last ses-
sion.
The plain truth of the matter is that very
small minority element in the Tacoma labor move
ment would like to bring the un-American and
discredited Wisconsin man here to help them re-
yve the little flame of disloyalty that they once
started and which they have been unable to keep
going. They are afraid to say so, because they
know that SO out of every 100 Tacoma working
men, union and unorganized, are loyal, Hooper
cent Americans.

go to Rasputin, that vile false monk who ran and
ruined the Russian cars family
There is no salvation without repentance, said
Rasputin. The righteous need mo repentance
Hence, the best preparedness for salvation is a
heavy course in sin. He made the czars court
believe it, too. They didn't put Rasputin under

little things like that, to make
trouble. Ask him. Don't have any
doubts in your mind. Perhaps your
friends misinteipreted what he
said.
Dear Miss Grey: always
try to treat everyone nice as l
know how. but there always is

that people don't think me low

Al am afraid you take things
too seriously. Maybe people are
teasing you about being crank,
and you take 1t TOO hard. Try to
be less self-conscious and think of
other things than yourself. Be
nice to everyone, then they won't
have any room to say mean things
to you.

you are very young and inexperi-
