PASTOR COMES TO DEFENSE OF lOVJACKSON Text Misquoted, He Insists; i Voices Great Praise for £ Indiana Executive. £ “What shall it profit a man, etc.,” Was not the text of Governor Ed Jackson the Sunday night he spoke at the Methodist Episcopal church in Osawatomie, Kan., before a Times’ staff correspondent Showed him a photograph of the famous D. C. Stephenson check for $2,500, it was learned today. What the Governor really spoke upon was, “Greater things than these shall ye do.” The Times was corrected upon this point, involved in a staff correspondent's dispatch from Osawatomie, by the Rev. J. B. Vernon, pastor of the church, in a letter to the editor. , Phrase Merely Quoted The phrase, “What shall it profit ® man,” merely was quoted incidentally by the Governor and was pot the text, the pastor said. The pastor’s letter: { “i am writing to acknowledge receipt of several copies of your pa‘per, in which you refer to Governor ! Jackson’s visit to Osawatomie, Kan., and especially to his sermon at our i church (the Methodist Episcopal.) “Governor Jackson did deliver a -telling message at our church on the evening of July 10 and our people received: it as coming from an honest heart and they have not had (occasion to change their opinion. \ Felt It Was Honor 1 “We all felt it a great honor to 'have the Governor of a great State like Indiana, elected by a majority of the votes of that State, speak to Sis and deliver a Christian message 'such as Governor Jackson did on the above date. “One error I beg leave to correct, [viz.: his text. You quote him as [having used the words in Mark 8:36, ■f!For what shall it profit a man, etc. He did quote the passage, but his text was taken from John 14:1*, and Teads, ‘Greater things than' these shall ye do.’ He quoted freely from the Bible, showing that he was at least familiar with it. “You mention the fact that Kansas is familiar with Governors who are evangelists. Yes, we did have one and are not ashamed of him. We believe he did not hurt our State, at least by upholding religious ideals and Christian principles. “We already have invited your Governor to speak to us again whenever you can spare him to come our way.”

The Characters HELEN, an ancient lady with modern Ideas. MENELAOS. her husband while she stayed at home. HERMIONE. her daughter and severest critic. ORESTES, her nephew—young enough to be a reformer; old enough to have am"bitlons. ETEONEUS, gate-keeper by calling; philosopher by instinct; moralist bv observation. ADRASTE, handmaiden and friend to Helen; scandal to most everybody else. CHARITAS, the lady next door. , DAMASTOR, a boy who strayed from the family doorstep. “I wish I hadn't asked Pyrrhus!” said Menelaos. “Do you think it’s too late now to postpone the visit?” “Can the messenger reach him before he starts—or shortly after?” said Helen. “It wouldn’t do to turn him back at your very door. If you could get word that your brother is dead, and that my sister killed him, Pyrrhus won’t want to come, anyway, and he’ll be glad to understand why we can’t have him at present.” “I’ll do that,” said Menelaos. “I never wanted him, and it’s not too late if the messenger hurries. . . There’s another thing, Helen. I hear that one of your girls in the house has been misbehaving.” "None of them, so far as I know,” saW Helen. , “Yes, what’s her name—Adraste —is in trouble.” “If you call it misbehaving,” said Helen. “Trouble is the more accurate word. Avery respectable young man in the neighborhood has been making love to her.” “Damastor, idn’t it? You told me something about the affair a while ago.” “Yes,” said Helen, “it’s Damastor.” “Avery decent sort of boy, I’ve always thought. I didn’t imagine he’d do anything improper.” “He wouldn’t, in a direct way, but he has plenty of what you might call negative meanness. He made love to Adraste, as I say, and persuaded her that they w r ere soulmates, with vows of eternal faithfulness,- and promises to marry her. “Avery old story. He meant it all—he’s not a bad boy. But his mother has sent him out of harm’s way, as she puts it, and he has allowed himself to be sent. In-plain words, Adraste is deserted.” “You mean she has been living with him?” “She will have a child very soon. I’m trying to cheer her up all I can. She’s little more than a child herself; I wish she had been spared this early cruelty.” “Before it’s too late we’ll send the girl to some place where the child can be born without involving us,” said Menelaos. “Afterward I’ll provide tSt its support so long as they stay away. Have you any place to suggest?” “None,” said Helen. “And it’s not necessary. This is really the most convenient place I know.” “I don’t think you understand me,” said Menelaos. “I said that the child should not be born in this house. It will do Hermione no good to become accustomed to such events in a supposedly well-ordered home. “She is full of rather advanced ideas already, and her environment should be more normal rather than less so.” “If Hermione were to talk with Adraste now,” said Helen, “she would see in the poor girl no encouragement to vice, no possible inducement toward indiscreet conduct. “She might even learn f^om

Adraste, in her present despondent mood, to avoid love altogether, and to distrust all men.” “Take your choice,” said Menelaos. "Either you will aid me in sending that girl to a place we agree on, or I’ll have her put out of this house!” “I dare you to!” said Helen. "Now, that’s a fair challenge. I doubt if you can get any one to execute your amiable commands. Your men wouldn’t lay a finger on that girl. I defy you to give the order. "Wouldn’t it be rare justice if Pyrrhus came along just as the heroic Menelaos was throwing out into the street a sick and helpless girl, about to become a mother! You could explain it to him afterward, couldn’t you! “You could say it was a belated but needed house-cleaning. The servants, yo ucould say, were beginning to behave as badly as the gentle folk, and since you couldn’t reform your relatives, you had decided to discharge the domestics. I wish Achilles could hear thatl” “Very witty, I’s sure,” said Menelaos, “but you can’t talk me out of it. Adraste can leave quietly, or if she insists on staying where she isn’t wanted, I’ll have her put out!” He waited for Helen to speak, but she said nothing. She looked calm and much at her ease. “Now see here, Helen,” said Menelaos, "what will you do with Adraste if she stays? She won’t be of any possible use to you, with a baby to look after, and there’s no future for her when the child grows up.” “She’ll be a companion always—she’s one of the best, and I like children,” said Helen. “She’ll be a daughter in the house when Hermione marries and leaves us.” “Hermione isn’t going to marny very soon,” said Menelaos. “Site won’t have Pyrrhus, and I won’t have Orestes.” “But Hermione will, I think,” said Helen. “She’s going to marry Orestes. Didn’t you know that?” “I didn’t and I don’t,” 6aid Menelaos. “Well, she is,” said Helen, “and you might as well make up your mind to it. I don’t want it any more than you do, but we can’t stop it.” “She shan’t marry Orestes] I’ve forbidden it!”

“You’ve done all you could,” said Helen, “and she will now do what she lives. Don’t worry about having to negotiate with Clytemnestra; I’m sure Hermione will tell us some day they’re already married—or she’ll tell me I’m to be a grandmother. I shan’t ask you to throw her out of the house?” “Helen, I’d like to meet you halfway,” said Menelaos. “You were right about Orestes, when I still believed in him. I’ll join you in preventing his marraige to Hermione if you’ll arrange with me to get Adraste off somewhere to avoid talk. People like your neighbor Charitas—” v “In this case Charitas won’t talk,” said Helen. “You forget she is hiding the missing husband. As for Hermione, I meant what I said—we are powerless. . But whether we are or not, I stand by Adraste. It’s a point of honor. I love the girl and she is in trouble. “Menelaos, if you are c:uel to Adraste I shall become your implacable enemy. My family has a gift for hate—though until now I never cultivated it.” “I dare say you could emulate Clytemnestra if you wished,” said Menelaos. “My dear husband, if I wished, I could surpass her! Clymnestra was qrude and unnecessarily vulgar. But I shan’t become your enemy unless you force the issue—and only for a principle, never for a lover. I

want to keep the debate on a high plane.” “I hope I may be able to discern the difference when you stick the knife into me,” said Menelaos. “Meanwhile, I’ll take my chance. Adraste is to go; that’s understood. You and I are to be mortal enemies; that's understood also. Do you mind telling me just how the war between us is to begin?” “There are several possible ways,” said Helen. “You might kill me—consider Troy merely postponed. That would be rather neat; Agamemnon’s brother getting even with Clytemnestra’s sister! Or you might carry out your threat and tell your men to put Adraste on the street. If they disobey, you might carry her out yourself. I advise the first course.” “And I dare say, in your present resigned mood, you’ll wait for the fatal blow to fall.” “Yes,” said Helen, “unless Pyrrhus arrives first.” “Ah, that’s it, is it? What will he do for you?” "I suppose that depends on what I ask him to do, and that, of course, depends on what you decide to do. Oh, Menelaos, what’s the use of this half-hearted quarreling? You are a kind man, and naturally easygoing. “You won’t do anything unkind to Adraste, I know perfectly well, and I understand the embarrassment her plight causes you. I’m sorry! If I let such things bother me, I should be embarrassed too, for

people will say my bad example led her to do wrong. “As things have turned out, I’m sorry I asked you to have Pyrrhus; you invited him because I wanted it, and now I own it was a mistake on my part. But wouldn’t you say all this is a small matter, in comparison with what you and I have on our hearts? “When I think of my sister, of our girlhood, of what she has done, Adraste s predicament , seems far from the worst of tragedies. Meanness and treachery are the tragic things, aren’t they? And seeing life out of proportion. “Let’s be friends, dear husband! Why should it be unpleasant to remember that once we were lovers?” (To Be Continued) (Copyright, 1925, by thy Bobbs-Mcnill Cos.)
