RAs SRy TOPEKA, Kans.,, March 15.—The fea- ture of the Rev. Charles M. Sheldon’s pa- per to-morrow morning will be a cartoon opposing the war in the Philippines. It is the work of Myron A. Watterman, an artist of considerable local fame and a brother-in-law of Mr. Sheldon. It repre- sents Uncle Sam dressed {n the uniform of an officer of the United States army with a smoking rifle in his hand, stand- ing in front of an entrenchment in which are a number of dead Filipinos, numerous skulls being seen in the distance. Facing Uncle Sam and pointing to the results of his marksmanship in the en- trenchments stands the Goddess of Lib- erty. She is represented as asking: *“Is this what you call your Christian civiliza- tion?” It will be accompanied by a brief editorial note denouncing war in general. Mr. Sheldon left the editorial rooms for an hour and a half to-night to conduct the regular midweekly prayer meeting at his church. Rev. Mr. Sheldon, in the Capital, in de- nouncing those people who dodge the Tax Assessor, made the statement that an At- chison, Topeka and Santa Fe baggage- man in Topeka pays three times as much taxes as one of the highest officials of the road. At the daily conference tmdag with newspaper correspondents, heldon was asked why he did not publish the names of those through whom he made the comparisons, and replied: ‘‘Because the names are legion. This city is full of that class of people and I did not think it right to single out a half dozen sin- ner! and give their names. If I could have given the entire list I might do so, but tfiat would be impossible. I don't know that I would print them anyway. 1 am looking into the future and beyond to remedy the evil and to persuade peo- ple to be more honest in the matter of assessment.” Asked if he holds that more good can be accomplished by ctel.tln‘ ub e untl- ment nfialnn places of and evil things, destroying the bullne!l and not naming the gullty parties, Mr. Sheldon sald: 1 believe in training the children rllht. ! take the position that it is cheaper to prevent crime thm to punish it. at is the view I take i my church and parish’ work.
