It seems as though the railroad heads even object to the reduction et ten per cent in freight rates and may resist the order of the Public Service commission in court. They don t seem to care whether the country ever gets right or not. Help the Civic Section beautify tli< Water Works park by giving them plants. When thats done lets pick out another spot and fix it up. The efforts of the women deserve the greatest commendation and the sin cerest assistance. Their slogan is ." “Decatur Beautiful” and they are mak ing progress. President John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers insists that thcoal reserves are being diminished that prices at the mine have advanced a hundred per cent and that the people are in for a bad old whirl. He blame; the operators and refuses to accept any part of the responsibility for thstrike which he says was forced oi the men to shorten the supply on hand and make possible higher prices. Ii the meantime six hundred thousand men are idle and the coutry faces c calamity. As was predietd recently, Senatoi Watson praised Mr. Beveridge am in return the hero of the vine clad cottage bestowed words of eulogy o; the gentleman from Rushville. For getting all the ugly words used in the past, mindful only of the fact that ar

election is near and that Jim will l>< a candidate for something in two years from now, they planned to fooi everybody and line up the votes. Its the same old thing. They make you think everything is lovely until afte: election and then do as they “durn' please. The two men do not reall) agree on any question but for the sake of votes they are willing to represent that they are as close as two peas ir a pod. The trouble in this country right now is that instead of trying to figure out what is good for the publi< the politicians are working every angle which will make votes.. They want the offices and not the opportui: ity to serve and thats where the voters lose out often. The attempt to defend Attorney (fen eral Daugherty in the Morse case on the ground that he merely acted in his capacity as an attorney will not wash. He was not engaged in the de tense of Morse in the courts at all. He did not appear in the case until after the banker, who had wronged so many people, had been incarcerated in the federal penitentiary. He was not en* gaged for the purpose of doing any thing other than securing the release of this man, who ought never to have been released. And he was not thus engaged because he was a lawyer, but because he was presumed to be in the confidence of President Taft. He was considered worth $25,000 not because of his legal attainments, but because of his closeness to the President. He did his part in ‘ putting it across.” The world now knows the fraud that was practiced on the government in this, ca>e. If Daugherty did not know it at the time he was wording for the discharge, he knew it. along with the rest of the public,. immediately after the release. Then, it will be recalled, there was a general clamor that action

’ be taken by the President to right tho wrong. It is at this juncture, as Senator Caraway points out, that Mr. Daugherty's action seems the , most reprehensible. Ho exerted him- ’ self to persuade the President to take no such action. If this is the sort of person in whom the nation can have confidence in the office of attorney general, there is nothing more to be said. If President Harding feels that Mr. Daugherty's political services have been such that these revelations do not embarrass him at all, nothing will be done. But if Mr. Daugherty wishes to serve the administration he will find a graceful way to retire. —Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette. DIG THEIR GRAVES WITH THEIR TEETH (I'nll.-d I'reaa Service).

RALPH DsPALMA MUST SHARE APPLAUSE WITH TWO FLIVVER DRIVERS Indianapolis, May 25. —Ralph DoPalma, as usual, will be the favorite of tho fans when the 500-inilo International sweepstakes is started for the tenth time, Memorial Day, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. While DePalma will get the "big” hand he will be forced to share applause, this year, with two small “red coated” r. cers, the Fronty--Fords. Jack Curtnor of Greenville, Ohio, and C. Glenn Howard, of Memphis, Tenn., are going to drive the pair of ■flivvers." It is surprising how much like the "universal cars” the two acers are. The radiators are not the rame tor the reason that more cooling s necessary than in a stock car. The front springs ae different, but the rear springs are the same and the rear ixle will easily be recognized by all the Ford owners. The engine has been changed in hat it has 16 instead of the convcn ional eight valves, but the cylinder dock is the same. When Howard and Curtner shift gears the Ford owners will recognize the racers, as the planeary gear shift and transmission has been retained. The differential is thsame as the stock car.

The wheels are smaller than thi tock cars. The diameter of the Ford ieel is 30 inches but the racers car •y 28 inch wheels. The spring sus '--.sion has been changed to get the enter of gravity low and the Frontyrds almost hug the brick tracks, 'utting 16 valves in the special head nr the Ford engine, from which the s get their name has contributed n the noise making proclivities of the -gine. When the Fronty-Fords go their exhausts bark loudly and th a full throated note that puts ho larger cars to shame. of the interesting spectators al the race will be Edsel Ford, presilent of the Ford Motor Company, of Detroit, Michigan. Mr. Ford has ac •epted the invitation of Secretary and General Manager of the Speedway, T 5. Myers, to act as a judge the day of the races, in practice the little cars lave been running around a 90 mile in hour average. The “flivvers” may lot win the race but they have a -hance and can be counted upon t< inish in the money.

PROGRAM NOW COMPLETE FOR MEMORIAL DAY (Continued from page one) Memorial Day Address—Rev. J. E Conant. Thirty Seconds of Silence. The Star Spanged Banner —Audi ence. Benediction—Rev. W. R. McClaflin Following the program in the court room, all organizations will form in line in front of the court house and march north on Second street to Monroe street, then east on Monroe street to the river bridge where the school children will deposit flowers in memory of the fallen sail ors. The organizations will then march back to the G. A. R. hall where they will be dismissed. The order of march will be as follows: Colors, Music, Boy Scouts. Firing Squad. Civil War Veterans, Spanish American War Vetersans, the American Legion, Women’s Relief Corp and Ladies' Auxiliary, School Chil dren. The music during the ceremonies will be furnished by the Decatur city band. TOO MANY UNSAVED CHURCH MEMBERS SAID DR. CONANT (Continued from page one) its outer aspects, that even many earnest personal workers seem unable to tell the difference. We will analyze the trouble. ‘‘There are two kinds of conviction: that of conscience, and that of the Holy Spirit. You can tell every time when a man is under the con

viction of conscience only, for he will talk to you in terms of morality and humanities but never in terms of his relation to God in Christ. His conscience will either excuse of accuse, but he will never have a thought as to v hat h® has done to Christ. Conscience needs to be stirred before a man will be saved, but the conviction of conscience only will never bring a man to God, for It will simply move him to live a better life, but it will never show him that a better life is impossible, and that his only hope is to accept Christ. “Right here I want to refer again to the 10 Commanrknents.' I. didfi’t seem to make everybody understand ‘ just what I said about the Commandments last night. The question between God and this old world concerning the 10 Commandments is a closed question; it has been forever settled by Christ on the cross. (The controversy between God and this old world Ils not now over the 10 Command-

meats; it Is over the cross. When a score is settled forever with God, I He has nothing more to say about it. It is no longer the sin question but it is now the on question. It is not, what are you going to do with the 10 Commandments, but what are you going to do with Jesus Christ? We are not living in tho age of law; we are living in the age of grace. This docs not mean that all law is done away with, but it means that we are living by a higher law. We are living by the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. There are laws on the statute books telling mothers how to behave towards their children, but mothers do not care about those laws because they have a law written in their hearts called the law of motherhood, which is a much higher law. “Where do the 10 Commandments come in then? They did come in at a certain period in the life of the race. The law was our child-leader, or pedagogue, to bring us to Christ In ancient times they used to have a family servant who led the children from home to the school. He was called the pedagogue in the Greek. When the servant got the child to the school he was done with him, be cause the child was then under somebody else. That is what Paul sayr the law did for us. It brought us tc Christ and left us with Him. We now have something infinitely better than the 10 Commandments. We arc not without law but we are inlawed into Christ. “There are also two kinds of re pentance. This must be so, for no one ever repents of anything of which he is convicted. So if a man is convicted by conscience of certain mistakes, errors and sins of life, he will simply repent towards a past life, but nothing more. And the Bible says this kind of repentance brings death. But if a man is convicted by the Holy Spirit, he will repent toward God, because he will see what he has done to Christ, God’s love-gift to the world, and that is the kind of repentance that needs not to be repented of. “Then thre are two kinds of conversion. The man who is convicted by conscience only, and repents towards a past life, will be converted to a higher ideal of living and make up his mind to quit his meanness and turn over a new leaf, but that it all. But the man who is convicted by the Holy Spirit, repents toward God and is converted to Jesus Christ, and this is the new birth. “There are also two kinds of faith. The man who has been convicted by conscience and converted to a higher ideal of living will have faith in his ability to reach his ideal and will trust in ‘religion’ to make up what he can’t fulfill. But the man who is conveted by the Holy Spirit and converted to Christ will have no faith in himself, for he will see that he is utterly helpless and will trust in Christ to do it all, not only in the matter of saving him but also in the matetr of living in him the Christian life.

‘‘Then there are two kinds, of evidence. Those who were converted to a higher ideal will join the church, but they will continue to run with the world. They will see no harm in cards, the dance, the theatre, or the movies. Don't blame them; they are utterly unable to see it, for they have never been born again. They are simply washed hogs. If you bad a drove of sheep and hogs mixgd together, and were unable to tell the sheep from the hogs, you could mighty soon tell when you came to the first mud puddle. The hogs would get in and wallow, but the sheep would avoid it. The washed hogs who are mixed with God’s sheep do the same tring. ‘‘There are also two kinds of activity. Those who have been converted to a higher ideal will do all the mechanical things that need to be done in church life, but they will go to their pastor and ask him never to expect them to pray in public or do any personal work with the lost, for their ability doesn't lie along that line. Os course not, for they have never been born again!” The subject of Dr. Conant's sermon tonight will be, ‘‘Will Lodge Members go to Heaven ”

bryanto speak at bunDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION It was voted to reissue an invitation to William Jennings Bryan to speak at tho Sixteenth International Sunday School Convention at Kansas City. Missouri, June 21-27, at a meeting of tho Program Committee, which met at the Chittenden Hotel, Columbus, Ohio, April 26th. This was the last meeting of the Program Committee before the Convention and several Important program matters were discussed. An unusual amount of time was given to the discussion of a petition from the Convention Committee of One Hundred from Kansas'City, Missouri, urging that the invititiou to Mr. Bryan to speak at the convention, which had been withdrawn, he reissued.

The situation which confronted the •< mmjttee arose from a statement made in “The Christian Register,” a Unitarian paper published in Boston, that “Mr. William Jennngs Bryan was chosen by the Program Committee to spea, but the Committee's report was rejected by the Executive Committee, which would not approve his appearing. His medieval views and his hostility to teachers was the reason." This statement, sent to a Kansas City paper, aroused considerable opposition to the supposed action of the Program "onr-lttee. In the course of the comnittcc's discussion it developed that ‘he withdrawal of Mr. Bryan’s invitation came before he had definitely accepted it, and. as a result of changes in program policies, made necessary by the merging of the International Sunday School Association and the Sunday School Council into the International Sunday School Council of Religious Education. Mr. Bryan replied to the letter sent to him withdrawing the invitation sent to him stating: ‘While I had planned to go to your convention at Kansas City, I am not at all disappointed by the change, because I was coming at a great sacrifice and I think I can use the time to advantage. You need not feel at all embarrassed at having to withdraw the invitation.” The controversy was not between Mr. Bryan and the committee but one that arose in the press, owing to the statement published in "The Christian Register.”

Dr. Fletcher Homan. Chairman of the Committee of One Hundred, Myron C. Settle, Dr. Charles A. Arnold, and William B. Henderson, all of Kansas City, Missouri, presented the petition, which read in part as follows: “In view of the publicity that has been given the matter of cancellation of the invitation heretofore extended to Mr. Bryan, and the seeming injustice thereby to him before the Christian forces in this country, we feel that the removal of his name in this way from

“Here Come The Elephants” DO you remember how you used to be on the job bright and early to see the circus parade? Remember how you thrilled as the lions, tigers, and the big, lumbering elephants passed in review? How the horses, the blare of the bands, the antics of the clowns, and the glitter of it all inspired you with a fervid determination to see the real show—the big performance in she tent? You didn’t realize it then, but you were getting a lot out of an attractive advertisement. Perhaps’ you don’t realize it now, but other advertisements, just as attractive, just as interesting and far more valuable to you, parade daily before you in the columns of this paper. The merchants and makers of everything you want or need, here display before you their most attractive wares. It is truly “the greatest show on earth.” The whole purpose of any advertisement is to excite your curiosity, gain your interest, arouse your desire: to tell you something you don’t know; to remind you of something you have forgotten; to convince you or something over which you have been hesitating. In short, the purpose of an advertisement is, in one way or another, to make you happier. Read the advertisements and see \ if that isn’t so?

the program would be misunderstood and misinterpreted and would result in great harm to the Sunday School cause to tho convention in Kansas City, uud to the cause of Christianity in general. In order that no such Injustice should result, the Prognun Committee voted to ask Mr. Bryan to make one of the addresses at the last sessosion of the convention.
