TROD PATHS OF DISHONOR Out of Own Mouth of the Pres- ident, Colonel Condemns Him of Cowardice. SCORES INSINCERE WORDS New York, ~Oct. 29.—Theodore Roosevelt in an address at the Brook- lyn Academy of Music last night, de- clared that .if .today is what “our democratic friends” call “Wilson day,” it should be “appointed a day of fasting and humiliation.” “For during the last three years,” he went on, “the people of the United States have eaten the bitter bread of shame and trod the paths of dis- honor under the leadership of Mr. Wilsen.” A The colonel directed most of his attack against the recent declaration of Mr. Wilson- that the present was the last. great:world war that the United States can keep out of. “We never have had any candidate for so high an office, who was so utterly. indifferent'to the reversal of all his. professed convictions of, prin- les, and, above all, so indifferent to the flat contradiction between his ds and his acts on almost every ¢ real importance before the people,” he- said.

It is of little importance that you should have vast! appropriations for grcparedneu or a most competent administration for the spending of public money.” After asserting that he “was a man of peace,” Mr. Hughes continued: Desires World at Peace, “All my training has been in the school for the settlement of peaceful controversies. I desire to see a world at peace. When this nothing will be more important than to secure in the most practical way international.co-operation and organi- zation through world courts, tribunals of conciliation and frequent confer- ences that will cement and make per- manent the world peace, “We are devoted to the ideals of peace.

We want courteous and firm insistence upon that to which we are entitled, with a consis- tency and power which will command the respect of the world. “If we.want peace, we must have the confidence and esteem of other nations. They must respect us, There is no hope otherwise. We shall be driven here and there,. We shall for- feit our reputation for competency and understanding of our position if k we are”not firm in the maintenance of known rights: It is not force that rules the world in our orgapized so- ciety, in its constant manifestations of activity. That is to say, it is not force that determines’ tlis or that action in peaceful intercourse, but it is force that lies back of organized society, that 7ives it its sanction and makes peaceful intercourse constant and con- tinuous. Must Assert Rights. * “There is no basis for'the sugges- tion that we should be drawn into complications. All we need to do is to assert, in a manner that will be convincing, what our rights are, and those just rights, properly asserted, according to correct standards, will be recognized. With it all, however, must be the recognition of courageous spirit which will make our flag the symbol of justice, of power that not misused, but of security to Ameri- can citizens, lawfully prosecuting their business wherever they may be.” The anti-dumping provision of the revenue act was characterized as “far- cical, practically unworkable, practi- cally useless.” Mr. Hughes assailed the enactment || of the Underwood law with reference to the low duties on agricultural prod- ucts. “We must never forget that we need in this country, e said, “particularly in the cor years, a more intensive application in agricul- ture than we have had. We cannot rely upon the lavish bounty of na- ture to protect us in the competition of the coming days. We do not want our boys to leave the farms and go to the city. We want work on the farm dignified, that there will be prosperity among our farmers, and we want our Agricultural department continued with the highest efficiency, and if I am clected, as I expect to be, nothing will give me greater pleasure.” Induces Sleep, Take Dr. Boll's Pine-Tar-Honey for that hacking night cough; it stops the cough and you slvep. 26c.

KENNEDY STEADILY GAINS . (From a_Staff Correspondent.) Lincoln, ct. 29.—(Special.)—At the beginning of the last week of the campaign the republican state com- d mittee feels confident that the finish will see the republican state and sena- torial ticket safely landed. As far as Hughes is concerned, the committee feels that the state may be counted for the republican candidate. In the opinion of a well known re- glublicnn, “those who are supporting ughes are not talking very much. They have been thinking the matter over and will vote right when the time comes.” Sentiment Fixed. As an evidence of changing senti- ment and ‘an indication of how Hughes stands with the business in- terests of the country, polls of the busi blocks of Lincoln show a decided Hughes color, every block so far giving a Hughes majority with the exception of the Young Men's Christian association building, where many students are rooming, whicl gave Wilson a very small lead, Probably no business block in the city gives as good an idea of condi- tions as they exist as the First Na tional bank bui . This building was polled yesterday and gave Hughes 84 and Wilson 74; Sutton 91 and Ne- ville 62; Kennedy 111 and Hitchcock 9; Reavis 112 and Maguire 36. The rohibition amendment showed 107 or and 39 against. Demos Give Up Hope. It is rumored, and it comes from a very reliable source, that the demo- cratic state committee has given yuj hope of landing the state ticket, witl possibly one ,exception. It is also well known that the polls taken by democrats in all parts of the state show a great falling off in Hitchcock support and, of course, a correspond- ing gain in Kenntdy strength. It has been apparent to those who have been watching the situation closely that the Hitchcock crowd gave up hope of win- ning two weeks ago. Look Qut for Roorbacks. d Chairman Ed Beach of the repub- lican state committee urges the vaters of the state not to be switched by any campaign stories sprung when there is no chance to refute them. Gen- erally speaking a campaign story Ir t any candidate sprung in the closing days of the campn;ign may be counted upon as false and delivered with the one J:urpole of cnuning‘{a stampede to a defeated candidate. Mr. Beach therefore urges the voters to be careful: Beach Is Amused. Mr. Beach was highly amused this morning in reading that Henry Mor- genthau, chairman of the democratic national finance committee, had re- ported that $500,000 more money was needed to make the election of Wil son assured. I thought the had al- ready put him across,” said the repub- lican state chairman, “but it looks as if they were not so sure of thelr Yroun . 1 think it the best evidence have seen that they know they are beaten, as we have known it for some time. I am glad that they have at last taken a tumble to the real con- ditions. It may save some of the dem- ocrats of the country who are so anxious to bet on Wilson's election a little money.” MACKAY ANSWERS SEVERE GRITICISM (Continued ¥From Page One.) | ORI vt svita st n g socy S how bést to deal with the liquor prob- lem. Ithave'not yet seen any attempt to refute the soundness of my arfu— ment in favor of high-license. In- stead, ‘my opponents resort to vile personal abuse and this, in a country where freedom of speech is a cardinal tenet of the constitution. “What is truth? This question put by, Pontius Pilate to Jesus, remains unanswered to thig day, Of opinions of truth there can be no dispute. I always said that the saloon is an evil and T favor its restriction. I am as much against drunkenness as any man, Raise the license of the saloon- st every few years and limit their numbers. I would have only gne or two saloons in t!\e city, if my wish prevailed. Quotes Ireland. “1 agree with Archbishor Ireland, who says, ‘Legislation should be con- struction of good as well as destruc- tion of evil. The saloon is the poor man's club” If T could find a few wealthy men to’build a big club house downtown for the benefit of the poor man, 1 would willingly give the rec- torate of this church, because in such a clubI could reach more men. “Temperance is the work of the church of Jesus Christ.

Personally, I would rather take h | speaking against his my chance of salvation with the poor drunkard, with the man who is un- clean of mind and body and even with the man who robs widows and orphans to grow rich, than with the men or women who wrote those letters to me. Refused Money. “When I wrote that defense of high- license, I was asked how much wanted for it. I replied that there |P not enough money in the state of Nebraska to pay me for that argu- ment, if the.opinions set forth therein were not my firm convictions. -Next was. asked if I would allow my name to be signed to the article, ‘Certainly,’ I replied, ‘I always stand publicly by my opinions.” Mr. Mackay chose as his text the clause from St. Paul's epistle to the Romans: “Unless a man has the spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.” It was announced that next Sunday All Saints’ dlK. will be observed al the church with special services. Com- munion services will be held at 7:30 and 10:00 o'clock in the morning. There will be prayer and special ser- vice at 8 o'clock in the evening. bttt absih ke Burkett Speaks in Seward.

The Episcopal church practiced immersion until about the fifteenth century. Why did it change and why does it want to change the ten commandments now? Silent on Moral Issues. “4, The Epistopal church is not evangelical and is to a large measure silent on the great moral issues of the v @5, A full scriptural gospel cannot be preached from an Episcopal pulpit. “6 Dogmatic ecclesiasticism pre- vails above everything else in the Episcopal church” and,comparatively speaking its clergymen are not noted for prophetical or intellectual genius with the ministry of today. | “7. The American principle of lib- erty forbids men of attainments and conviction in spiritual matters to sub- mit to a bishoo, who may be minus on ese lines. “Dr. George C. Richmond, regtor of St. John's Episcopal church of Phila- delphia, Pa,, and.a very close friend of mine, says: ‘Casuistry, diplomac and vanity have a higher value witl bishops than moral boldness or prophetical genius.’ “Dr. Richmond is now before the courts of the Episcopal church for ishop and the ecclesiastical authority, yet this clergyman is known in Philadelphia as the poor man’s friend and is a de- vout advocate of the rights of the workingman, for which he is now on trial. An tpiscopalian minister in y the authority of the arch- of Canterbury I .am sent to preach the word, and I don't care a rap I!)ou! the New Testament scrip- tures. “8, The Erilco al church does not burden itsel! witK an aggressive de- sire to bring men and women into a right relationship with Jesus Christ. “9, It has submitted a 'creed, which the apostles never saw and dogma which they never knew, for plain New Ttestament teaching. “10. It considers its ritual of more importance than the preaching of the gospel, yet the ministers of Christ are commissioned to preach and not merely to read a man-made litury. Back to First Love. “Mrs. Maude E. Buxtonfa devoted wife to me and who labored faithful- ly in assisting me in my ministry, was a member of the Christian “ church, and by her persuasion I was im- mersed when a lad of 18 years of age. Hence in making this change 1 am but going back to where I first started in the Christian ministry. Mrs. Buxton opposed my coming into the Episcopal church and we had planned to leave it when I was urged to ac- cept St. Paul's parish here in the wset. “I am willing to suffer the wearing of rags to preach the gospel, al- though I may have had a' beautiful salary in“the Episcopal chufch. Of course, in this dav and age everybody cannot understand such a conviction and I presume my aristocratic Episco- palian friends will make light of it, as the bishop did. Thanks the Parishoners. “I want to\express my'' sincere thanks to tg:’pnriahoner-u of ' St Paul's parish and- to Bishops Morri- son and Longley for their kindness to me and my family while domiciled in St. Paul's rectory, and I pray that God will lead them into larger vis- ijons concerning the greatest interro- gative of the human soul, ‘What must I do to inherit eternal life. “Let us remember, dear friends, that we will some day meet again when the story of life and our earth- ly journey come to an end. My best wishes and grayers are that God will abundantly bless you and that he will bring us together as His “children, to be numbered with those who love Him and. behold His glory. I ex- pect to receive some rebuttals to what I have said and for what I am going to do, but, God helping me, I intend to fight for the truth as it is in Jesus. I care not what suffering may come to me for preaching His word, if I can but care for my little family and labor until I shall ‘lay nly armor by, and fhen if it please Him whom I love and serve, when the harvest shall and the vintage shall be gathered, to give me and mine but a humble diciple’s reward, we will feel®that our efforts in telling men of the Christ, have not been made in vain. “To one and all, and especially to those who love and seek for truth, I big, Dominus vobiscum (The Lord be with you.).” oves From Parsonage. Rev. Mr. Buxton spent yesterday afternoon receiving his friends at the Episcopal parsonage. All of the floors were bare and the guests picked their way through boxes and crates. All of the furnishings were ready to move out today. Rev. Mr. and Mrs. Bux- ton have taken rooms on the second floor of the Kate Riley building at the corner of Broadway and Glen ave- nue, where they will remain perhaps during the winter. Rev. Mr. Buxton asserted yesterday that he had received numerous calls to other Episcopal churches with larg- er-salary and larger opportunities than here, but he had turned them all down, having deliberately made up his mind to enter the ministry of a church, less hampered by dogmas and creeds, He said he had chosen the Christian church for the greater in- tellectual and spiritual freedom it af- forded and said he wanted to interpret 1|the scriptures himself, and not be com- elled to accept without dissent the interpretations of others. Rev. Mr. Buxton comes from a long line of Episcopal clergymen. His fath- er and several grandfathers were riests in the English church, and he Ku been preaching ever since he was twelve years old.

In 13 years public expenditures have increased 68 per cent in the state, 77 per ocent in the county, 163 per cent in the 'city, 118 per cent in the township and 12 per cent for schools.” The Nebrasks Prosperity league uses this statement as an 4dmission that prohibjtion and increased taxation go together. Wedonotnndt.ogobv‘{ondthn official records for the truth, the. thing most feare by, the boosze interests. The official -government statistics show - that while Kansas in. creased in population from the census of 1900 to that of 1910 from 1,470,495 to 1,690,949, or 16 per cent, Nebraska inoreased from 1,066,300 to 1,102,214, or 11 per cent. Yet aggregate taxes raised for all purposes in Nebragka from 1902 to 1012 increased 108 per cent, and in Kansas 87.8 per cent. That is, the incréase in Nebraska was 20 per oent greater than in Kansas. Kansas’ population increased more and Kansas' taxes less than Nobmlfn’l:. The increase in taxation in Kansas is not due to.prohibition any more than the greater increase in Nebraska or the still greater increase in Washington for the federal government. Botween 1902 and 1912 there were 27 states whose ag- te local taxes for all purposes were more than doubled. There were 21 states whose taxes did not double. Nebraska with saloons is in the first group, and Kansas with prohibition, is in the second. : The state tax rate in Nebraska was $6.80 on $1,000 at last reports at hand, and for the same year the tax rate in Kansas was $1.20 on §1.ooo. Kansas assesses its property m, Nebraska at about ome-fifth. In a.x;lvn‘oue the com n favors Kansas, the Kansas rate rai $3,461,048 and the Nebraska rate $3,200,780. The Kansas tax in all s $3.04 per capite, and the Nebraska tax $2.74. The charge that prohibition makes taxes higher is not borne out by ‘t;e rocm?dl. Yet it is about all the Prosperity league has for ammunition in its resistance to the tem- perance movement. If it fails to show, and it does fail, that the state, and the towns, and the school districts must have saloon money to continue business, as it claims, or that saloon money helps the community finmchll{ and in & bul.l,nou way, and that to wipe out the saloons ‘‘hurts business,’’ all of which statements are violently contradicted by the record, what has the Prosperity league left for an argument?
