The people are more and more los

The people are more and more los
ing respect for that class of preach
ers who devote any part Of their time
in the pulpit to criticisms Of other de-
nominations, beliefs and religious
practices. Such criticisms hurt none
except the men who make them, be-
cause by them they lose the respect
of all except comparatively few ig-
norant, blind followerers, who them
selves are narrow and mean in spirit.
There are now churches in which no
disparaging statement of any other
denomination has fallen from the
lips of the preachers in charge for
several years. All sincere people are
bent on the same destination and the
different ones are selecting their par
ticular way to get there. Each man
should preach the attractiveness of
his own highway instead of dfsparag-
ing the road his neighbor may choose
to follow. The uncharitable man, in
the pulpit or out, is never a GOOD
man in the true sense of the word.
The finest man in the world is the
one who spends half of his time at
tending to his own business and the
other half in letting alone the busi-
ness of the other fellow. This state
msnt holds just as good in religion as
it does in everyday business.

The case of the Federal govern
ment against William J. Oliver, ct al,
at Knoxville, charging them with
fraud and sabotage in the manufac-
ture Of war munitions, was being
heard before Federal Judge John E.
Mccall and had reached a peculiar
stage last Saturday, when it was said
the defendants might put no witness
es on the stand, as, they claimed, the
government had made out no case
against them and that some Of the
evidence Of the witnesses for the gov
eminent was favorable to the de-
Tense. Bill Oliver has had his ups
and downs mostly ups financially
since he, as a young engineer helped
to build the Paducah, Tennessee &
Alabama Railroad from Paducah to
Lexington. Bill may be all sorts of a
rascal-but he is a very capable en-
gineer and has done some great work
in that profession. If all the men who
have swindled the government could
be mobiliized and used that way. il
would give Uncle Sam a standing ar.
my of enormous numerical strength.

In the race of Newberry, of Mich
igan, for the United States Senate, it
has been reported that a new stunt
was pulled off by wrapping $1,000
bills around cigars under tin foil, and
handing them out. These "segars"
were doubtless more thankfully Ie-
ceived than willingly handed out. If
Newberry escapes, he will be enti-
tied to be considered the innocent of
the ages.

George Lerrigo, Y. NJ. c. A. secretary.
returned from the Chinese field in an
address today noon Before the Rotary
club at their regular meeting at the
Chamber of Commerce
Too many people judge the Chinese
race as a whole by the type of Chinese
laundryman in the United States" con-
tinued Lerrigo. and this has proved to
be an entirely erroneous idea. Many
OF the business men in China have the
same characteristics that you men
have, only they talk Chinese, live in
China and dress differently"
Lerrigo is a brother of DR.. C. H.
Lerrigo of Topeka, and is we'll known
here.
A delightful musical program was
given at the meeting. Paul Lawless

The production has everything from sex
appeal to swift movements, the abest sort

good job of it he made. The story IS

decline is expected, however, until the

about July 1, altho there may be
enough for local. consumption before
that time. This will mean a break
in the market, it was said. A few days
ago potatoes were selling here for $12
wholesale, then dropped to 81 and
