Firs, baptist Church

Well, there are several things we
want to say First, did you see that
wonderful write up OF the Southern
Baptist Convention as II was given
by Jas. Il. Ferguson, as he gave 1t
ia ais last weeks Forum" Sure IL
is wonderful display OF Ignorance,
and We scarcely know how one man
no older than he could have accum-
ulated so much knowledge and wis
dom Sure after this all Baptists
will have to skidoo for he has meant
the utter crucifixion OF every one OF
Us. II you haven't seen the notorious
article you ought to get copy and
read IL. But the fact that jim Fer
guson is against the Baptists ought
&c be proof positive that they are all
right. But you know he is against
all the preachers. churches, women,
prohibition, woman suffarge, etc. etc.
You are specially invited to be at the
Baptist church next Sunday night,
as this wonderful article will be read
and a few feeble remarks made there
on. Sou will surely want to know
how this new candidate for the pres
idency OF the United States arrays
himself against the religious forces
OF the country. And his attitude
toward Baptists is also his attitude
toward other religious organizations.
But we shall read the atrcle TO the
congregation, for IL is too good TO
keep,
Sunday school will meet at s:45
and the morning service at 11:OO
O'Clock. At this hour the pastor viii
bring a special message looking to-
ward the revival meeting which be-
gins on first Sunday in June, Just
one week from Sunday.
In addition to reading the article
by Jim Ferguson and commenting
thereon little we snill p'ihS SP''
ial message suitable for the occasion
and well selected to follow such an
attack on Christianity. The sreat
crowd will be there SUNDAY night
and special welcome will be eX-
tended to all.
Last Sunday was a fine day with
us. The pastor had just returned
from Washington, where he attend
ed the convention. At the morning
hour he told of the convention and
at the evening hour preached from
the text: Say unto the righteous
II shall be we'll with him, and to the
wicked it shall be i'll with him"

pellants have a right to complain
of it.
But the public is not easy in its
mind. 1t wonders whether the de-
cision will be accepted by the
brotherhood membership and leaders
unless it is decision satisfactory to
them. Suppose the board renders
an immediate decision and that de-
cision is adverse to the demands
made by the brotherhoods, will that
decision be accepted as settling the
dispute or will strike follow dis
appointment?
This is no argument on the rights
and wrongs but q question that the
public is asking itself. What force
or effect will the ruling Of the board

In analysis of the vote Of ,Messrs.
Deems and Moore the railroad and
public utility vote Is conceded by
some very astute politicians as hav-
Ing gone to the two Of them. Mr..
Moore got more of it than Deems.
That is an explanation very much
different from that attempted by the
Deems managers.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1920-06-26
Deems SHOULD be our OF IT.

The Burlington Hawk Eye, speak
ing of course for Mr.. Deems. the Bur
lington candidate. says that the
Deems forces are to make their fight
for his nomination in the conven-
ton on the charge that Kendairs
and Moore's vote does not represent
republican votes. The claim will be
made that democrats who voted In
the republican primaries voted for
Kendall and Moore.
The fighting ground does not AT a
candidate who spent more money
than all the others put together and
Fstill failed to come within anything
Elike striking distance of the Kendall
vote. Mr.. Deems seems to have
spent campaign money like the
,proverbial sailor He ranged the
state and had his paid and unpaid
workers busy as bees for weeks. Mr..
Moore spent a lot of money and
Moore got big vote. Kendall spent
less than 10 per cent of what Deems
blew In and beat Deems to It by a
very impressive majority.
The Deems claim upon the nomi-
nation has nothing to 1t except the
politicians play to win. It should
be given no consideration by the
convention. Mr.. Deems was beaten
and well beaten In the primary by
the voters.
Mr.. Kendall, whose vote ran ,prac-
tically equal with that of Moore de-
serves much consideration. The two
leading candidates have lead on
the others which can not be dis
missed. Kendall has the advantage
over Moore that he did not make "a
money spending campaign. that his
accident prevented him from making
personal canvass as that made by,
the other candidates and yet ran
neck and neck, which indicates q
wider popularity and perhaps a
greater confidence felt generally in
Kendall,
But as Ito Mr.. Deems contention
the figures OF his expenditures and
the count of the election seem to
put him out of the running II the
popular choice is to be regarded.
And that choice should be very
seriously regarded.

MIDDLE NAMES.

notable among the apostles receives
an added luster by the statement
that he had sat at the feet OF

struction received there. But at tina,
it seems scarcely fair to US of this
day of Algernons and Macs and
Pyrles to have saddled q helpless
child with "Gamalier and force him
ito carry 1t thru life and spring 1t at

when fortune fits him into a can

Bituminous coal~is $15 a ton a,
