MW DEFENDS PROPOSED TAX ON GASASECONOMY Governor Answers Critics — Says Debts Will Be Obliterated, Statements defending the proposed gasoline tax and the general appropriations bill have been issued by Governor McCray in answer to opponents of both measures. The Governor said an amendment to the gasoline tax bill providing that $500,000 collected from such taxes should go to the counties from which they are collected will be introduced. He said that as a result of the gasoline tax the general property tax for road building will be reduced $1,000,000 annually. The present tax levy for roads Is three cents on each SIOO. It Is estimated the gasoline tax would yield approximately $3,000,000 annually. Adding to the statement of Senator Arthur R. Baxter, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, answering Democratic attacks on the appropriation bill. Governor McCray said the State tax rate will not be increased and there will not be 1 cent of indebtedness in any fund when he leaves office. There now is a deficit of more than $2,000,000 in the general fund. The Governor characterized as absurd a Democratic statement that the expenditures of the State will be as high as $40,000,000 annually. HOME LIFE NEEDS GHURCH INFLUENCE Pastor Urges Necessity of Church Conscience, Declaring that “the church is not reaching the masses and never will till the church idea is thoroughly inwrought into the home life of the people,” Dr. M. B. Hyde in a sermon Sunday at the Grace M. E. Church, made a plea for a stronger “church conscience” among the people. “There is a strong religious conscience among the people,” he said, “but a very weak church conscience among the people. The family is the moral battle ground and if the Christian church Is defeated here, disaster follows. “The family has been called the ‘Unit of Society.’ By the negative quality of life in the home, the home often becomes the crime breeder of the community. The statement of the papers of last week, that more than 1,200 adults had appeared before the juvenile court of this city in the last twelve months, is very significant. It will be found that about 800 children were before this court during this time. More than 10 000 have been brought here since the court was organized in 1903. That could not happen on so large a scale if the church were built Into the home, and unless it is built Into the family it can have no permanency. “Make the home maker Christian am the future Is safe,” Is sane philosophy. There must be behind all Christian living in the home genuine Christian authority exercised. The Lord set his seal on that subject, assigning as his reason for selecting Abraham to head a religious institution that was finally to save the race. “For I know him that he will command his children, and his household after him,” Dr. Hyde said. EVANGELIST WARNS WEALTHY God Makes No Special Arrangements, Says Major Hites. "Too many folks with money and influence think God will make special arrangements for them,” said Maj. Earl F. Hites, evangelist, at the Cadle Tabernacle Sunday. “Men often think that if they keep the moral laws they are good enough. No one can be saved who has not accepted Jesus.” WOMAN'S DRESS DEFENDED Pastor Declares Constant Criticism Is Unfair. “The average man looks upon the world as if it were a man’s world and not a woman's world,” said the Rev. George S. Hennlnger, pastor of the E. Tenth SL M. E. Church, In a sermon Sunday night. “Women are forever criticised unfairly for their dress and actions, while men may do as they please.” ISSUE CANNOT BE SIDESTEPPED Every One Must Decide Question of Religion, Says Rev. Pope. “No man or woman can sidestep the question of deciding whether he Is going to reject or accept Christ as the guide of his life,” said the Rev. Arthur Pope, superintendent of the Wheeler City Mission, Sunday. MISSIONARY’S LIFE RECALLED Englewood Church Honors Memory of Dr. Albert Shelton. Memorial serviced for Dr. Albert Leroy Shelton, celebrated missionary, who met death in Thibet a year ago, were conducted Sunday in the Englewood Christian Church. Dr. H. O. Pritchard, secretary of the National Board of Education of the Disciples of Christ, a friend of the missionary', preached. HARD WORK CURE FOR HATRED President of Indiana University Talks at Big Meeting. Psychology of hate was discussed by Dr. William Lowe Bryan, president ■if Indiana University, who spoke Sunday at the V. M. C. A. Big Meeting on "A World of Hate and a World of ’harlty.” Charity, be described, as the attitude a physician takes toward the per verse ness of humanity. A physician • omes to cure, not to consider the fault,, said Dr. Bryan. Hard work subdues and keeps out

Dumbbells | “DID YOU SEE MY DUMBBELL IN THE TIMES?" THIS IS THE POPULAR QUESTION. SEND THE BEST SAYING YOU KNOW OR HAVE HEARD TO THE DUMBBELL EDITOR, THE TIMES. Heza Dumbbell Is disappointed with the latest whims of fashion, he says he would wear sideburns but they are so painful and that he has never heard bell-bottom trousers ring. Pa Whooza started an argument when he said that he was going to raise prunes by trimming the apple trees on his farm. “What's that?” Heza asked pointing at a tail-gate on a wagon. “That's a tail-gate,” Pa Whooza answered. Just then a gust of wind started it swinging. “Tail-gate,” said Heza, “why sure,- I see It’s waggin' now.” —A. K., Cirero, Ind. Other readers have written they have learned the Dumbbell family Is so dumb its members believe: That a stool-pigeon is a bird.—R. I. That a milkman wrote “Three O’clock in The Morning.”—L. L. That a slipper horn is a trombone.— L. W. That prize fighters are close-fisted. —B. H. That bicycle riders should take out peddler’s licenses.—E. W. That there are large as well as smallpox.—V. E. R. That Bert Morgan Is governor of the State of Intoxication. —V. E. R. That Banjo is a brother of Old Black Joe.—H. W. of people’s lives many evil human passions, he said. When a man wakes in the morning not ready for work he is lost. “The words of Booker T. Washington, 'No race shall degrade me by making me hate it,’ epitomize a grand philosophy against hatred,” said the speaker. LINCOLN S BIGGEST ERROR Should Have Been Churchman, Says Rev. T. It. White. Abraham Lincoln's biggest mistake was his failure to link himself with Christ through a church, said the Rev. T. R. White, pastor of the Meridian Heights Presbyterian Church, Sunday morning. Lincoln, despite his greatness, could have been greater as a churchman, said the Rev. Mr. White. TWO WEEKS’ REVIVAL STARTS Rev. and Mrs. George Moore In Charge of Meeting. A two-weeks’ revival service in charge of Mrs. Effie Moore and her husband, the Rev. George Moore, will be conducted at the South Side Nazarene Church, Olive St. and Le Grande Ave. Mrs. Moore opened the services Sunday morning with a sermon on "Bringing Souls to Christ." The Rev. F. S. Robinson Is pastor. REV. BONNELL TO GIVE SERIES Bible Investigation Club to Hear Talk on “Life Problems.” “Life Problems—Through the Eyes of the Master,” will be the subject of the first of a series of lectures by the Rev.
