GREAT PERIOD IN
HISTORY OF CHURCH
Echoes of Big Meeting At St.
Louis Attended By Thousands
of Delegates Now Closed

The international Church Con
vention at St. Louis, was the most
heartening in many years. Large
delegations attended from all the
Estates and from many of the for
eign countries. Some six thous-
and delegates were present. The
reports of the organized work
showed increase in income of sew
eral million dollars during the
year. The United Christian Mis-
sionary Socety, after a year spent
in gearing-in of various interests
was functioning in a highly salts
factory way. This is the first in
stance in any religious body in
this country of a union of all mis-
sionary and benevolent interests
and there was universal good
feeling over the success of this
pioneering enterprise.
Challenging reports were
brought to the convention by rep
resentatives of the Disciples OF
Christ who had recently been in
Europe attending the interdenom-
national meetings in the interest
of Christion union. Peter Ainslie.
of Baltimore, R H Miller, of
Kansas City, Finis Idleman, of
New York, and President Fred
Burnam, of Cincinnati, stirred the
convention in these messages.
DR.. Biting, of St. Louis, Bishop
Brent of Buffalo, DR.. Stewart, of
Philadelphia, were among the
prominent speakers in the con-
vention for other religious bodies.
The plea of each of these was for
united church.
More than ten thousand attend
ed the great communion service
on Sunday afternoon in the Coli
scum in which the sessions of the
convention were held. The spirit
Of the convention was xcellent. In
the earlier days there were some
rather heated discussions over a
number of matters but during the
closing days there was a marvel
US oneness Of purpose.
Fred Burnam vase elected pres
ident of the United Society and
George A. Miller, of Washington,
president Of the General Conven-
ton. It was the telling of all
that this religious people was fac
ing one of the great periods of its
history.

LAST Glue GONE
INPARSONS CASE

There is a movement on among the
women of the southern part of the
state to have the search for the slay-
or of Miss Lura Parsons, of the Pine
Mountain Settlement School, and it is
said they will insist until the opera
tions arc again taken up looking to-
ward the apprehension of the slayer
if such action is possible.
Stains on the coat found in the
convict camp near the Pine Mountain
Settlement in Harlan county, where
Miss .Lura Parsons was murdered
were not human blood.

N. Mccormack, Of the State Board OF
Health, in announcing the result OF
the chemical analysis that madee by
DIR. Lillian South, State bacteriolo-
gist. and DIR. Leon X. Baldauf.
1t was thought that the coat woulc
give a clew that might lead to the
capture Of the murderer, but the re-
suit of the chemical investigation
knocks it out.

COX in KENTUCKY
ON VICTORY TRIP"
Labor Support Predicted By Taft
and Other Important Phases
Are Touched Upon

Ashland, KY, Oct 27.-In tonr
Tuesday touching three states, West
Virginia, Kentucky and Ohio, Govern
or Jam M. Cox preached the League
of Nations and also reverted to the
plea that under the last eight years
of Democratic administration there
had been widespread prosperity.
"You boys don't want any more
normalcy," he said, declaring that
"normalcy meant a full dinner pail
and little more" A Landslide" to
victory next Tuesday was predicted
by the governor.
"It will be a reputation" he said.
"of the senatorial oligarchy, not a
partisan, nor a Democratic victory,
but victory for peace
At Kenova, w. Va, the governor
spoke bareheaded in a light drizzle,
which turned into a downpour at a
baseball park. Motoring to Catletts-
burg, KY, the candidate spoke from
the court house steps to another
large audience standing in the rain
and at Ashland he addressed a crowd
from a platform on a vacant lot af-
ter brass band parade through the
streets. Siren factory whistles
shrieked during the candidates visit.
Governor Cox made another appeal
for the League of Nations and
statement that the churches, women
and labor were together in the move
ment which, he said, was "sweep-
ing the country"
In this connection the Democratic
presidential candidate called attention
to statements a year ago of former
President Taft which, the governor
said, prophesied his present view of
the situation.
81 desire to pay Judge Taft trib-
ute" said the governor, che possesses
gift which l did not think was his.
He has the gift of prophecy. Speak
ing just about year ago in West
Virginia, he said that labor would en-
dorse the League of Nations because
of it's labor provisions; that the
churches would endorse it because it
was right and then if the women were
given the vote they would all be for
it because of their adherence for
war, and in the last week it was per-
fectly apparent that Judge Taft cor
rectly visualized the future.
"From pulpit and congregation
comes the same story of religious fer
vor. No class has been reading the
league more industriously than Ia
Dor. I found miners in the noun
tains of this state thoroughly familiar
with it.; and the Republicans are hav-
ing trouble with the women's meet
ings-all of which bears eloquent
tribute to Judge Taft's foresight.
''It is sweeping the country"
Governor Cox declined to amplify
his statement at Huntington as to his
position regarding ratification of the
treaty of Versailles and attendant
reservations.

WILSON'S SPEECH
STIRS DELEGATION
Warns That World Force is Nee
essary to Prevent Further
Imperialistic Ambitions
(Ry Associated Pressl

Washington. Oct. 27-America was
never called upon to make "more
solemn declaration than it-must make
now" on the League of Nations issue,
President Wilson said in an address
delivered at the White Houe today, to
a delegation of Pro-League republi-
can-Indeperdents headed by Hamilton
Holt, editor of the Independent.
"The whole future moral force of
right of the world" said the Presi-
dent, depends upon the United
States, rather than any other nation.
1t would be pitiful indeed, if, after 50
many great free peoples entering the
League, we should hold aloof."
Appealing for completion of the
great achievement of American SOL
diers, President Wilson asserted "The
war was fought in vain; our immense
sacrifices were thrown away, unless
we complete the work they begun"
President Wilson warned his hear
ers not to be deceived into supposing
the imperialistic schemes ended with
the defeat of Germany. He declared
"there were other nations, who enter
tanned such schemes or moved by sin
lister ambitions and jealousies to at
tack the structure of civilization, and
it is necessary to check them with the
world united as it was against Ger
many"
This is the first speech the Presi-
dent has delivered since his collapse
year ago while touring the country in
upport of the League of Nations.
Members of the delegation, in
formal statement after leaving the
White House, said there "were deeply
touched" by the physical appearance
of the President, "who plainly show
ed the effects of his long illness and
the tremendous strain he has been
carrying.
ait is evident he was voicing the
profoundest emotions of his heart"
said one statement adding "the whole
occasion was ineXpressibly solemn
and tender He was greatly moved.
More than once his voice choked, es-
pecially when he referrrd to the sol
der boys mothers, those who had
fallen in battle" The delegation said
they felt this might be the Presidents
firal appeal to the conscience of his
countrymen in the supreme moral de
cision they were called upon to make.

date for President ever received in
Cincinnati such a rousing welcome as
as that accorded to Governor James

RESORT TO lie
AGAINST BECKHAM
Republican Anonymous Litera
ture Campaign Takes New
Turn In Kentucky

Louisville, Oct. 2z-The anony.
nous literature campaign of the
republican politicians which has
heretofore been confined to racial
and religious lines, has taken
new turn. They have begun to
attack Senator ]. c. w. Beckham
by means of anonymous 1eaflet
mailed - school teachers all over
the state.
This leahet asserts that Senator
Beckham is going over the state
making speeches against the new
law increasing salaries for school
teachers. The state has been
flooded with them, and many
school teachers who are anxious
to know the truth have written to
state headquarters to learn
whether Senator Beckham has
made such a speech.
The matter brought to Senator
Beckham's attention brought the
following statement from him:
The entire thing is a false
hood. [ have never mentioned
this law in my addresses during
this campaign. l will say further
that the men who are publishing
and causing this leafet to be dis
trlbuted are wilful and malicious
liars, and they know they are
when are taking such action"
The fiction published in this
leaflet is further belied by the
non-partisan school development
campaign conducted by the Lou
isville Board of Trade. At the
solicitation of James Speed, of
Louisville. chairman of the Board
of Trade Committee, Senator
Beckham wrote a statement in
September before the political
campaign opened, endorsing the
new school laws.
In the course of this general
endorsement, he said:
Il am truly glad, too, that pro-
vision has been made for increas-
ing the salaries of our school
teachers. Considering the work
they do, so important and so far
reaching, training the minds anil
characters of our children, they
have been paid inexcusably little
salaries, and no class of people dc
serve increased salaries more
than they do"
This statement has been scat
tered broadcast throughout the
Kentucky press. and had the dis
tributors of the lying leafet given
it moments thought they would
have realized what futile. thing
they were doing after Senator
Beckham had been publicly on re-
cord on this question for over two
months.

SWOPE SWAMPED
PRESENT OPINION
Gilbet's Success Over Present In
cunbent Is Assured, Say the
Well Advised

Shelbyville, KY, Oct. 27.-"Judge
Ralph Gilbert will be elected to con-
gress over King Swope, the incum-
bent, by a large majority" said ]
Sherman Porter, of Lexington, repre-
senting the organization department
Of the Democratic National Commit
tee, and sent into the Eighth district
by Chairman J. Campbell Cantrill to
get a first-hand view of the situation
inthe district Mr.. Porter said he had
been in nearly every county in the
district and that Judge Gilbert would
receive the normal Democratic vote
in every county he had ben.
Congressman Swope, who was in
the army, has made special appeal
to the soldier vote. In Anderson
county the service men, without sug-
gestion from Judge Gilbert or his
managers, signed and published an
advertisement in the Anderson News,
in which they stated that Mr.. Swope
was claiming the soldier vote and as
for themselves they wanted it known
he would not get their support on ac-
count of his opposition to the League
of Nations. Thirty-five of Anderson
county's service men signed the state
ment, among them Lieutenant Colon
el Frank l.. Ripy, one of Judge Gil
bert's opponents for the Democratic
nomination.
Judge Gilbert has had to contend
with the same kind of campaign of
misrepresentation that has marked
the national canvass. In some coun-
ties an anonymous circular has been
put in circulation in which Judge Gil
bert is accused of charging drafted
men for filling out questionaires while
as matter of fact he devoted prac-
tically all his time during the war
to such work without charge to any
body. An effort also is being made
to show that he is opposed to bo-
nus for the veterans of the world war,
as outlined in the Democratic plat
form and promised by the Democratic
candidate for president.
women all over the district are
well organized and while Congress
man Swope has as good or a better
organization than when he defeated
Judge Hardin at the special election,
he is this year facing a united De
mocracy determined to get every vote
out, not only for Judge Gilbert. but
for the head of the ticket, and it
would not surprise me if Judge Gil
bert and Governor Cox carried the
district by 5000 majority.
"Both Colonel Ripy and Private Da-
Wis, the soldier candidates whom
Judge Gilbert defeated for the nomi-
nation, are actively at work for the
ticket and it is my opinion, after Wis
iting practically every county in the
district, that Congressman Swope will
receive only his party vote among
the service men. They resent,
learned, attempts to exploit them for
political purposes"
