Metropolis Gazette.
Dear Editor

| II mas been about ) years since
/ - had anything TO say through
your valuable journal Since |
last wrote you the world has been
turned around. The Kaiser is the
most talked about person today in
al the universe, but from what
we CLEAN from our dailies it seems
that we have him groggo, if We,
the allies can only deliver a couple
Of solar pleNus blows, We ought to
be able to bring the bacon home
by next May 1918.
The real subject that am try
ing &c drive at is Baptist doings
among Bsptist people Three
years ago in this city a thunder
bolt was thrust among the Baptist
which caused a division among
them, and there are now two con-
ventionn each one claiming to lie
the legitimate bargain counter for
all Baptist to transact their bus
ness
have read and re-read the Bit
ter strife coming from both sides
and for the life OF me | am unable
to adjust or render judgment as
ii should be OF course have
come TO the conclusion so far as
am concerned, that graft IS the
rea. cause OF this bitter fight. !
am also OF the opinion that all OF
the good men are not on either
side. There are some bad ones
affiliated with the Morris and Hud-
son side ana there also some bad
ones on the Boyd and Jones side.
There never WIS a gathering OF
men as large as the Baptist cor
ventions (both sides) that were
void OF bad eggs. or as DIR. J II
Frank says. Ga niger in the wood
pile
The convention or conventions
never will be what the good peo
pie desire them to be, on account
OF graft, greed and the office seek
inc element. Men OF all religious
denomination have their faults
Just as others do ! am Bap-
tist and am proud OF it, am also
proud OF the progress That the
Baptists have made. ] believe
the most vital need OF church is
better educated ministers and more
common sense. We as rule are
too quick to fight the other iel-
low objects VIXEN we have moth
better to offer him. In Northern
Illinois, especially in and around
Chicago, there are SO many little
Baptists organizations, and ! am
unable to name them, ard style
myself wide awake man in ba-
ptist circles
One thing that do know and
appreciate and that Is the Baptist
Congress Of Chicago, and vicinity.
They are class by themselves,
doing a grand work. Also lthe
North Wood River District Asso-
citation is holding her own with
the rest Of them.
] long to see the Baptist OF this
country together again with men
at the helm with more religion,
education ano common sense than
money. II such men can be found
in the denomination ! believe they
will accomplish more good than
the real stars, or so-called big
gun.
Let us pray and hope and hope
that the report Of the peace meet
ing lase Match be received by

DECORATIONS UP TODAY.

Central avenue should be decorated today in honor of the coming of the women of the biennial convention oI the A. F. W. C. The merchants, husl- ness men, property owners. tenants all should cooperate to this end, be- cause il is a community expression of welcome that grasps the visitors as soon as they get a glimpse of the city, and remains with them until they have said their last goodbyes
 There will be addresses of welcome and there will be expressions of ap- preciation of this convention but the decoration of the city is the one thing always outstanding before the guests that makes them know that this re sort. is happy to be honored with sucl delegation.
 Today the decorators are here witt their own decorative effects, and they will put them up for you at ver' minimum cost, and will take then down again That is better than tho ssaeRhants having to buy the decora tions. and will make il so econom ical that there is no good reason wh every place on Central avenue shoal' not extend some sort of glad hand L the visitors through this means

IT IS RATHER BOLD.

Direct agents of the kaiser in Lima Ohio, started a fire that destroyed fourteen locomotives. put out of com mission a large railroad shop. burned up more than $10,000 worth of Lib erty loan subscriptions, and caused a few firemen to lose their lives The fire hose was cut in several places after 1t was laid, and fires were started in other parts of the city to add to the confusion.
 And yet nobody has been officially shot for such acts.
 The one outstanding failure to d. real duty in connection with this wal is the failure Of offiicals military oI some other kind, to have some Of rhe German agents shot.
 More and more bold are the opera lions of the enemy agents. The American people don't want them sent to penitentiaries, and the American people are somebody, after all The American people don't want to in carcerate these spies and feed them The American demand is that they be arrested, the proof gathered hurriedly. @and that in front Of whiteWasheG walls, there be a whole lot of execu- lions at sunrise or sunset or noon dny or any other old time the proof Is gathered.
 We all have intense interest in curbng these activities If the kaiser agents will burn at lima they will burn your home or your business here and elsewhere They will bura bridges. and have done SD that the railroads on which you ride will carry you 10 death. They would destroy your water works plants, or poison your water if they could. They wouls stop at nothing We know that the American spirit Is not going to tol-I crate these things and we don't want the people to get outraged and take them up because mistakes will be made.
 These are important things. and the sooner our government authorities whether civil or military. assumes the authority for some bullets fired propmtly after guilt is established and plenty of them in all the instances Of guilty transgression, the sooner win our people feel like they are properly represented by those in authority Don't snd bridge burners or spies tol our penltentiarIes Don't Amer lean dollars on their upkeep One bull let will answer the question in each individual case, and a few blank cart ridges for camouflaee will round u the record
