SOCIALISM WORST EVIll WORLD Chicago Minister Says It Is Worse in United States Than in Europe.

Always the Ambition of JohdW. Kern's Life to Secure Seat in the Senate

PERIL TO THE INDIVIDUAL.

SUNSAULUS SAYS ABSOLUTE EQUALITY WILL BE REACHED AT EXPENSE OF QUALITY DOCTRINE WRECKED IN EUROPE. Chicago, 111., Nov. 9. Socialism and Individualism were vigorously contrasted by the Rev. Frank Gunsaulus at the Central church in the Auditorium Sunday. The minister declared that in his opinion socialism is one of the worBt evils that threaten the world and that the danger from this source is more grave In the United States than in any other country. "We are told that we are living in an age of commercialism; that our next step must be socialism," he said. "There seems never to have been a moment when we were so willing to adjourn to the government our tasks and duties. The danger is that the socialistic creed may be adopted before we have the individual with a moral power necessary for that state. "Socialism in France has gone to pieces. In Germany it haa received a repelling blow. It is making no advance In England. We stand more In danger of It than any other country. Our. dangers in America are from the academic circles and writers. Means Loss of Personality. "America is personally incarnate. Personalism founded our new conti- ' nent. Our country was peopled by men who sought individualism. George Washington was a millionaire, a monopolist, if you will. He was the richest man in America, yet it was his individualism that won for us our country and government, not the government that made him. Socialism would seek to take all such as he and Franklin and cut them off at the top, trim them to suit all other men, chop them down In brain, and fteart, and courage. This is the last class of men the world could get on without "Government has seemed to me the most subtle and difficult of all fine arts. It was a simple thing in the era of barbarism for one big savage to beat into submission his weaker creatures. Despotism, too, was acceptable to ignorance. . Government never can be satisfied until it rests on something higher. A social "organization Is a political machine that shall compel the Btrong to yield that which wiirmake the weak stronger." CHANCELLOR, NEW JOB FOR BRYAN 1 Movement on Foot to Give Him Place in U. of N. Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 9. The suggestion that W. J. Bryan, be appointed chancellor of the University of Nebraska, made vacant by the retirement of E. Benjamin Andrews, finds general favor. It Is not known if Mr. Bryan would accept it and it is said he has not been approched on the subject. Promoters of the plan, however, believe he would accept and his presence on the board would be a big card for the university. It is understood the student body is anxious for Mr. Bryan's appointment, but the board of regents is solidly re publican and politics may cut a big figure la the matter. CHIEF OBLIGATION CAREJF CHILDREN Zueblin Says It Should Be the Chief Occupation. Chicago, Nov. 9. An attack on marriage as a means for women to obtain support for themselves and their children, was made by Prof. Charles Zueblin Sunday in a lecture ou "Education and Life, before the Society for Ethical Cluture. "We must teach all our children the meaning of sex and our girls the meaning of motherhood," he said. "Our chief obligation in this life is the care of children. It should be our chief occupation: it comes ahead of any spiritual satisfaction. There is no other equal to the enjoyment of the care of children. "If the average woman is blessed with the maternal instinct, why should she not satisfy it? She is dependent on being able to marry a man, a man whom she may or may not love, a man who may or may not support her properly." RELIEF CORPS MEETS. The Woman's Relief Corps will meet tomorrow evening at seven o'clock in the G. A. R. hall to hold services over the remains a ilrs. Bpekenhler-Miller. NOTICE.

Indianapolis, Ind., Nov. 9. John W. Kern, the recent democratic candidate for vice president, who has been fighting the battles of democracy in Indiana since 1S70. is a candidate for the United States senatorship to succeed Senator Hemenway. Mr. Kern himself confirms the forecast of his probable candidacy and says that to be honored with a seat in the highest lawmaking body of the country has been his life-long ambition. On btelng asked relative to his attitude as to the senatorship, Mr. Kern said: "I have always had an ambition to represent Indiana In the senate of the United States and in making the hopeless race for governor in 1904 and in

RALLY SERVICES LARGELY ATTENDED Fifth Street M. E. Church Has Big Day. Tne ail aay rally services that were held at the Fifth Street M. E. church yesterday proved to be successful. The attendance was the largest ever attending services of similar character it being estimated that there were fully three or four hundred people at the verious meetings. At the Sunday school held in the morning, the attendance was unusually large. Church services were conducted by the Rev. J. Cook Graham pastor of the church. The congregation then adjourned to the church dining room where all enjoyed a bountiful repast served by the ladies of the church. At 2:30 in the afternoon the Rev. Kenna of the Third M.

J. Wade of the First M. E. church preached the sermon and the Rev. J. Cook Graham preached at the First church. EOF Cover Members of Family With Guns. New York, Nov. 9. With the piercing ray of a burglar's dark lantern shining in their eyes and two revolvers held by masked men covering them, the five members of the family of Charles E. Tayntor, a wealthy granite dealer, lay in bed in the Tayntor home at Borough Park, Brooklyn, for more than an hour this morning while while a third masked burglar packed up $10,000 worth of jewelry and silverware. Then the burglars bound Mr. Tayntor band and foot and escaped with their booty. Poisonous Nettles of the Tropics. In tropical regions there are nettles far more powerful than that of our own country. The one called Urtica stimulana, which is found -in Java, and that called Laportea crenulata, found In Hindustan, when bruised emit an effluvium which poisonously affects the eyes and mouth and if handled produce convulsions and serious swelling and pain in the arms, which may last for three or four weeks and in some cases cause death.

Two Widows and Two Affinities in Cells as Result of Parallel Crimes

East St. Louis, 111., Nov. . A striking case of parallel crimes is found in two murders here, one of them the killing of William Calhoun by Charles George, the other the killing of John Bell by Rainey Johnson. The first affair occurred Friday night, the second Sunday morning. In each case the husband objected to attentions shown bis wife and was killed during a quarrel with her alleged affinity.

taking the vice presidential nomina

tion against my desire and inclination this year, with little chance of success, I did so with the hope that if the legislature should be democratic I might be favored with an election to the senate and the gratification of a life ambition. "I have received many offers of support from members of the legislature and hundreds of democrats from every part of the state are urging me to announce my candidacy. , "I have concluded to Bay to the democratic members of the general assembly that an election to this honorable position would be highly gratifying to me and that if their constituents favor my election I would be pleased to have their support." LAST MEETING HELD State Convention of Y. W. C. A. Came to a Close Sunday. MRS. HELM THE SPEAKER. The state convention of the Young Women's Christian Association adjourned last evening after a farewell meeting at the Reid Memorial church. It was one of the most successful state conventions ever held in Indiana. At the meeting last evening "Circling the Globe" was the subject of a very Interesting paper read by Mrs. Verling Helm, of Greencastle, Ind. Mrs. Helm has been an untiring worker in the interests of the Y. W. C. A. She has been both the general secretary of Y. W. C. A. in Maine and also in San Francisco. Before the death of her husband the two were in the far east and spent most of their time in Japan and China where they help-I ed organize different associations. On i the death of Mr. Helm in Japan, Mrs. I Helm returned to America and is now at the head of the Greencastle Y. W. C. A. and a member of the state committee of the association. She has a high education and is a very interesting and fluent talker. She discussed at length the need of the Y. W. C. A.'s in the Orient. j Previous to the address by Mrs. ; Helm, Miss Dette Walker of DePauw j university introduced resolutions into I the convention which were unanimous-1 ly adopted. They expressed the ' thanks of the delegates for the royal manner in which they have been en tertained during their stay in Richmond, to the press for its liberal support and to the visiting secretaries, and trustees of the Reid Memorial church and all others who have helped in any way to make the meeting a success. The Stole Mam ui the Lawyer. The sick man had called his lawyer. "I wish to explain again to you," said he weakly, "about willing my proper-ty"-The attorney held up his hand reassuringly. "There, therer said he. "Leave that all to me." The sick man sighed resignedly. "I suppose I might as well,' said he, turning upon his pillow; "you'll get it anyway." Judge. WhT Johanr Ate Then.

In another cell the two alleged affinities are comparing notes and laying out a line of defense. Both husbands were shot through the heart dying instantly, and in each case the husband made an attack which establishes a self-defense plea that will probably clear the alleged affinities. One husband was burled Sunday and the other is at the morxue awaiting the coroner's Innuaat.

ROOSEVELT SPEAKS IN DEFENSE OF TUFT'S RELIGION (Continued From Page One.) all good Americans are proud, then It would be equally proper to support or oppose a man because of his views on justification by faith, or the method of administering the sacrament, or the gospel of salvation by works." If you once enter on such a career there is absolutely no limit at which you can legitimately stop. "So much for your objections to Mr. Taft because he is a Unitarian. Now for your objections to him because you think his wife-and brother to be Roman Catholics. As it happens they are not; but if they were, or If he were a Roman Catholic himself, it ought not to affect in the slightest degree any man's supporting him for the position of president. - "You say that the mass of voters that are not Catholics will not support a man for any office, especially for president of the United States, who is a Roman Catholic. " A Slander on Americans. ' "I believe that when you say this you foully slander your fellow countrymen. I do not for one moment believe that the mass of our fellow citizens, or that any considerable number of our fellow citizens, can be influenced by such narrow bigotry as to refuse to vote for any thoroughly upright and fit man because he happens to have a particular religious -creed. "Such a consideration should never be treated as a reason forveither supporting or opposing a candidate for a political office. Are you aware that there are several states in this union where the majority of the people are now Catholics? I should reprobate In thfe severest terms the Catholics who in those states (or in ' any other states) refused to vote for -the most fit man because he happened to be a Protestant; and my- condemnation would be exactly as severe for Protestants who, under reversal circumstances, refused to vote for a Catholic. "In public life I am happy to say that I have known many men who were elected, and constantly re-elected to office in districts where .the, great majority of their constituents were of a different religious belief. I know Catholics who have for " many years represented constituencies mainly Protestant, and Protestants who have for many years represented constituencies mainly . Catholic; and among the Congressmen whom I know particularly well was one man of Jewish faith who represented a district in which there were hardly any Jews at alt All of thave men by their very existence in political life refute the slander you have uttered against your fellow Americans. He Never Discriminated. "I fealiara that this republic will en

dure for many centuries. If so, there will doubtless be among its Presidents, Protestants and Catholics, and, very probably at some time, Jews. I have consistently tried while President to act in relation to my fellow Americans of Catholic faith as I hope that any future President who happens to be a Catholic will act toward his fellow Americans of Protestant faith. Had I followed any other course I should have felt that I was unfit to represent the American people. "In my Cabinet at the present moment therev sit side by side Catholic and Protestant, Christian and Jew, each man chosen because in my belief he is peculiarly fitted to exercise on behalf of all our people the duties of the office to which I have appointed him. ' In ho case does the man's religious belief in any way Influence his discharge of his duties, save as it makes him more eager to act justly and uprightly in his relations to all men. "The same principles that have obtained in appointing the members of my Cabinet, the highest officials under me, the officials to whom is intrusted the work of carrying out all the important policies of my Administration, are the principles upon which all good Americans should act In choosing, whether by election or. appointment, the man to fill any office from te highest to the lowest in the land. "Yours truly, "THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "Mr. J. C. Martin, corner Fourth and Jefferson streets, Dayton, Ohio."

A TEST OF NERVE. O-ae of the Wars la "Which Iadiaaa Duel to the Death. Among the Indian tribes the method of fighting duels differs. There are Bome tribes where a challenge to a duel means inevitably that both men must die. When an Indian feels aggrieved he demands a combat. The day for the same is fixed far in advance' and is made the occasion' of a little celebration.' " The entire tribe assembles. The braves sit In a circle, behind them their Buuaws and the young bucks. The offended man is. armed with a rifle or. a . shotgun.. . The challenged principal is unarmed. . At a word both men arise and face each other, the unarmed man baring his breast to the bullet of his adversary. With eyes riveted on the little round hole at the j end of the barrel pointed at him, the I doomed man must face the protracted 1 ordeal of expecting death at any InI stant without the least sign of weak ening. The executioner may hold his gun as long as he pleases in order to try to break down his enemy. He may raise it and lower it or hold It steadily on the man under the frightful strain, but not even with an eyelid must the unfortunate betray his anxiety. At i last the gun cracks, and the bullet speeds its way and the victim lies dying.
