BILLY GETS NO
PART OF $4,000
GUARANTEEFUND

Billy Sunay will get no part OF the
$50. 900 guarantee fund which must be
raised before his campaign opens here
January 8. This is set forth today In
a statement from washington's Sun
day finance committee to the 1oI
churches now co-opeTting in plans for
the forthcoming revival.
The statement shows that Sunday
has no financial interest in the meet
inEs here except to see that all bills
are paid and that he will receive no
money except a voluntary offering at
the close OF the campaign. The state
ment follows:
$4,000 for Tabernacle.
a guarantee fund of $4,000 is to
be secured by pledges. No one has
ever been asked to pay anything upon
these pledges IN the fifty or more
cities where campaigns have been
held.
Cash subscriptions OF $4,000 are
asked to meet bills for lumber and
payrolls for labor. as the erection OF
the tabernacle progresses. the pre-
paratory work and other items need
ing immediate payment. These cash
donations, with the offerings taken at
the tabernacle. have always secured
the necessary funds to meet every eX-
pense in the first few weeks of the
campaign.
We Further OherinEs.
when sufficient funds have been
collected at these meetings TO satisfy
our obligations, no further offerings
will be taken.
Pledges in small amounts from
many persons are preferred TO large
gifts from the few. Subscriptions OF

desired. Contributions from persons
in sympathy with this movement are
also solicited. and may be sent to

j. OGDEN ARMOUR.

j. Ogden Armour, as Josh Billings
would say, is a sort O an amusin'
cuss. He has been kind O. catching
the public both a-coming and a-going,
if the revelations made through the
Federal Trade Commissions inyesti-
cations are worth a cent.
J.. Ogden, it will be remembered,
reaped considerable newspaper glory
but a few short months ago when he
was reported to have offered to turn
over to the government his entire
fortune for the duration of the war,
without money and without price, so
to speak. The Saturday News joined
in the eclat with which his name was
greeted on the bulletin boards.
We have nothing to retract about
j. Ogden. We still regard him as a
patriotic citizen from the tip of his
great toe to the crown of his bald
head.
But we confess that some of the
lustre-just a trihing portion of it
has fallen, in our estimation, from
the halo that the newspapers en-
blazoned on his Uranium.
II appears that there are wheels
within wheels in Mr.. Armour's world
ly possessions. Had he turned over
TO the government all his visible prop
erty he would still have retained
enough of the invisible sort to render
unnecessary his going forth to earn
his daily bread by the sweat of his
classic face.
Not knowing whether he'd have
really turned yer his fortune, or only
the visible portion of it. a sort of
lingering doubt win always cling to
the edges of our mind with respect to
what this distinguished representa-
tive of a distinguished American fam
lily would have done with his secret
holdings in the terminal railroads and
the stock yards.
The Federal Trade Commission is
bringing out testimony that shows
r. Ogden and other packers secretly
were owners of a considerable por-
ton of these interests and were reap
ing big dividends on the side, thus
getting not only their profits from the
packing industry but also getting the
bulk OF the profits resulting from the
operation of the terminals and, the
stock yards-profits which the public
were paying in both cases.
Before we shall be able to reinyest
J. Ogden Armour with all the glory
that we accorded him in the first in
stance. we want to know that he
would have been as good as his word
about turning his entire fortune
over to the government.
How about it. ]. Ogden!

E DIT O L
COALITION GOVERNMENT.

The st. Paul Dispatch, in view of
the disclosures resulting from the
congressional investigation, suggests
that President Wilson might find
suitable timber for the responsible
position of secretary of war in the
person of former President Theodore
Roosevelt.
I'VE can understand at last de-
clares the ST. Paul paper, why the
entrance of America into the war fail,
ed to throw Germany into an immedi-
ate panic"
1t develops through the congression-
al inquiry at Washington that while
America declared a state of war to
exist in April the contract for the
making of army rifles vas delayed
until June and subsequently held in
allegiance pending the determination
of the particular type of rife that
should be used, so that the spring
merged into summer and summer was
nearly gone before the making of the
equipment for the infantry was fairly
begun.
Germany, Of course. with its Won
derful system of espionage, knew as
well as the Washington authorities
that America would not be able to
become a factor in the trenches un-
til late in 1913, by which time the
German autocracy expected to deal a
knockout blow to the allies through
the submarine.
Never underestimate that Prussian
foresight" continues the Dispatch,
which largely is Tie fruit Of un-
sleeping espionage. 1t appraised the
American situation to a dot. 1t is
no that it has no cause to dread the
effect of America in the war; it is
that its anxiety merely is deferred
until America is prepared to use it's
military arm effectively. That time
has not yet come and now we know
why"
In France, in Great Britain, in Can
ada, experience has shown that a
coalition of the various political par
ties is conducive to efficiency in the
prosecution of the war.
Why could not America, the great
est republic is existence, composed of
a people fighting the battles OF world
wide democracy, drop party politics
for a few brief months. or even for
years!
- ~ IA AaSt = 81 ikCokt iito ~
Dictated his wish to have Senator
Knute Nelson OF Minnesota returned,
and Mr.. Nelson is a republican. 1t is
also true that there is discussion in
Wisconsin with reference to unity on
the part of the democrats and repub-
iicans in support of Congressman Len
root for the senate to succeed the
late Senator Hastings, democrat.
But these are but isolated cases.
There is ne general understanding on
the part of either republicans or
democrats that their ~partisanship
shall be held in allegiance during the
war. Indeed, both party managers are
now planning partisan campaigns,
each obviously striving TO make po-
HtfcaI capital out of events connected
with the war.
If this is a war for democracy, why
not conduct it along democratic prin.
ciples? Why should either the re
publicans or the democrats, as such,
derive especial profit out of the war?
