THK UNIVERSITY RALLY.
Dr. Carroll promises to tell some
things aboat the Baptist State Uni-
versity and universities in general at
the rally this evening, that many
Shawnee people do not know. Con-
vention Hall should be filled to ca-
pacity for this event, as it doubtless
will be. For .Shawnee is now a uni-
versity city and must take on the air
of a university. It takes time to de-
velop ' that "university spirit" that
enables a city to get the most good
from Its schools, and such rallies as
the one planned for this evening help
greatly.
Everybody is urged to attend this
great rally. There will be a musical
program by the musical faculty, aud
the entertainment will be one of rare
excellence.
BBTTKR STANDARDS

OF CITIZKN-
It is not enough to say, in answer
to the charge that the public schoolf
are Godless, that tbey are not. Not
is it enough to say, what nobody hat-
disputed, that public school teachers
are of a character to be, in their
walk, conversation and conduct, ex-
amples to their pupils. While it It
tru«' that the schools are not God-
less in the sense of teaching any-
thing calculated to raise a doubt ol
an overruling Providence, or to chal-
lenge the absolute Inerrancy of Holy
Writ, and while, in their daily walk
and life, school teachers are, for the
most part, exemplary, public opinion
has reached a convention that some-
thing more Is needed.
Well-born children need little
bringing up. The boys may not be
moral They may sow bushels of
wild oats But they will, instinctive-
ly, feel the weight of any responsi-
bility put on them, they will not vio-
late a confidence or betray a trust
or a friend, and their answer to any

l Benson Park Monday afternoon,
ti. H. Smith began the principal ad-

many respects was remarkable and
under different circumstances would
been sensational. Full of ridi-

Human rights are no longer worth
a battle, or national honor the ex-
penditure of boodle. She relies on
| vulpine diplomacy, and estimates her
honor In dollars and cents. The
decadence is in our religion, our art,
terature and politics. We are go-
ling to the point where virginity is a
t.rst fruit offering to the powers of
lust and fecundity."
IsienMing of Legislature.
"We have a proposed call for th
"gislature. We had it as a house-
^uest twice last year, and It was all
i'he way from hell to breakfast. The
et result of its work is a messail-
i iitce of corrupt trading boards and

pie's money at Washington. Yes,
suffer at their bands. But what of
the mass, those whom the training of
'.he public school is to reach and
qualify for good citizeuship? If these
tannot be taught, in the public
schools, the meaning, value and ne-
cessity of high standards of citizen-
ship, tbey cannot be taught any-
where. Certainly such things are
not taught in the ward primaries, or
at the corner saloon *
We had recent oocasiou to discuss
the plans for training in public
schools which had been in discus-
sion at teh meeting of the National
Mutational Association in San Fran-
cisco. Kmphasis was there laid up-
on the necessity of cultivating high
ideals of citizenship in the public
schools, through Intelligent and pro-
gressive cultivation of the senses of
duty, obligation and responsibility in
the child from the kindergarten to
the high school. It is not our pro-
vince to discuss plans. We,leave that
to the educators, with no other ad-
monition than that it doesn't meet
th«* case or solve the problem to say
only that "it Isn't so."

Opening Statement,
Mr. Smith opened with the foi
lug atatement:

and pessimism will not til this day

Pre*ent-llaj renditions.
■ About renditions he said: Look
"ver the world! We have nyuipho-
lepgy or nmyphomaiiia—emollated by
money and luxury, fried out of the
piudufcera, and ihe spirit of heroism
lis dying out leaving the sensual in
full possession. Demosthenic elo-
quence which arouses Right Is stilled.
The land where Saxon steel once
rang against Saracen sword, the

lirulal heel of the Turk, but steel-
Mad Kit rope stirs not. From Ihe
loins of Christendom we have law-
etire-all Blatherskites but no Peter

No more are heroes wafted to Val-
hallah's halls by Valkyrlun hymns.
No longer does youth listen with

payer may entagliate a brand on his

I see just one. How many don't
want a special session? I am glad
you are not. losing your minds. I ex-
tend my sympathy to my friend over
there. I hope he will get a Job
somewhere before he degenerates in-
to madness."
Iheut Plutocrats.
'The small merchant, banker and
manufacturer adopts the views of his
money-lord on account of his obli-
gations, and as a servant obeys hlB
master, so the plutocratic percolates
through the veln6 of the commercial
class and the despoliation of the peo-
ple has been wilfully done. The
groaning of a fat purse is the apoth-
eosis of patriotism. The gold that
gilds the forehead of the fool trans-
forms him from a stupid clod into
an economic oracle. From among
hie money-bags the pluto speakB and
the commercial cosmos hastens to
spit upon the Sinatlc law and grovel
before the golden calf."
Net In Politics.
'About myself, that matters little
I have been asked If I was not go-
ing into politics I may have to do
so to get my rights. I will not do
it now, I will wait a little longer
until my friends get a little nearer
hell on this earth, then I expect to
Join the bucket brigade—the column
40 miles from water—and assist In
absorbing the Are of Ihelr coat-tails."
Political Issues.
"Notwithstanding the purifying
process going on in politics, it is
yet rank with tra-caserie and reeks
with turpitude, and the labors of
congress is a manufactured article
made by Republican knaves for the
misguidance of Democratic fools.
With two platform denunclalions of
reciprocity by the Democrats, tbey
join Taft and the trusts, until ther
is no difference. We could well Join
the chorus of our friends of por-
cupinous demonstration, the Social-
ists, and sing with the poet:
'Put away the borrowed breeches
That my darling used to wear.
It will need them no more never,
It has climbed the golden stair."'
Hoard of \ tin Irs.
' Before thieving was a respectable
profession, we branded the appro-
prlators of others property, and sent
them on by a verdict of 12 men to
a Meld of limited liberty. Now it is
mot" elegant to give them notoriety
by an Investigation, have them re-
sign and take another office, or go
on the lecture platform or the stage.
I have -never believed there was such
a thing in politics as limited knavery.
I still believe that the man who will
practice deceit, trickery, and have
traffic arrangements and terminal
stations In politics for the lirt-up of
graft, would be capable of roguery in
business and hypocrisy In religion.
The man who will stuff ballot, boxes
and tamper with the minutes of
meeting ought to have his umbilical
cord ruptured by setting the other
end of himself on a hoi stove."
Money Mild ami Brake.
"Has the (lod of the fatherless
signed us to Mammon and the ras-
cals at the same time? The lust for
money seems to be the foulest spirit
In all the hierach.v of hell. Does a
Christian nation, boasting itself the
sum and crown of things, find it
necessary to make the children of
men pass through Ihe (ire to Moloch?
Must Justice sheathe her sword and
Mercy be exorcised from the hearts
of men at the command of money?
Is selfishness transforming the na-
tional soul Into a desert? There is
the field of our politics. Most of our
men In congress have meekly bowed
tile knee to Baal, and yet they come
back to you—these time servers—-
venting their foul rheum in your
faces about the dear people and what
they are doing for them in congress,
as If we should have our ears
braided, knowing that we are a lot
of blinking 6tupid. asses."
V Picture Worth While.
"The other day, while the child of
a battered, maimed and injured work-
man lay dying of fever, and he bent
his gaunt and gray face over its
tiny form, without a crumb in his
bare cupboard--yea, bare for two
years, waiting for his insurance, jus-
tice in the courts, pay for his negli-
gent injuries by the railroads, Jus-
tice in the courts. He wait6 for a
letter of good news from his at-
torney, as the sad smile of babyhood
flits over the thin face. She puts
her tiny hand around his big linger,
the hand that could once do any
w rk—It trembles now—and the
other little ones look on the strange
scene. A stranger comes in; he asks
why not take the child to a cleaner
place, where there is better air, and
get a doctor. The little ones make
answer: Father's out of work, can't
work, wafting for his judgment, wait-
ing for his insurance, and while
father drags himself about, nursing
the poverty child, another scene is
being enacted. After the judge has
heard the perjured testimony, se-
cured by hired detectives, long after
the trial, paid to watch the father
of the poverty child choose between
starvation and work in his condition,
to earn JuBt a little bread for bis
children of poverty, the Judge must
And another excuse in order to save
his reputation, it cannot be done on
this perjured testimony aud hired
evidence of the detectives. The judge
splits the hairs and then he twists
the law's tall. He makes for himself
an excuse to reverse the verdict,
gives the railroads what they want
and reverses the verdict of the jury.
The excase the judge finds are errorB
of law, erroneous Instructions given
by him It Is necessary to find this
ground to save his own reputation.
There is silence in the courtroom
when the attorney for the father of
the children of poverty smiles on the
agile judge when he responded: 'We

time to make the record.' The sentence
Is electrical for the spirit of the
dying child of poverty is breathed
into the hard words of the father's
attorney. The long fight to the high-
er court begins, without money. The
father is vigil at the dying bedside
of the child of poverty; he hears a
messenger, ft is a telegram from
his attorney. He looks at the flooded
sunshine on the child-baby's face,
then he trembles as he opens the
telegram: 'The judge set aside the
verdict of the jury—gave the rail-
road a new trial. We have
pealed.' He sank a little back; he
now struggles, but is bewildered.
'What a difference in hopes aud
heir fulfillment. Nothing keeps him
going but a heroic resolve; he hits
no future, but he must live and wait,
and his children must grow up In
ignorance and poverty. He cannot
work; instead of schools and books
and pictures, his babies must work
also. Ho has worked all these years,
and has had nothing out of life but
food aud shelter and clothing—all o(
them wretched enough. He sees his
boys ignorant and growing up
drunkenness aud vagabondage. He
sees his girls forced to go into fac-
tories, where well-dressed gentlemeu
wait around the doors for them to
come out in the evenings, aud every
avenue to ruin is wide open, aud
every door to a decent life is so
firmly closed. It was on Saturday

court. They had heard the father
teach the elder children, and tell
them about the man of the wilder-
ness. It was Him who said, 'Suffer
little children to come unto me.'
And the voices of the choir of
the church had scarcely died away
when the baby speech of the child of
poverty was hushed forever. It died
for want of a little freeh air, of high
altitude, that money could have
bolight; and the man, with a broken
heart aud crushed spirit, followed it
to the potter's field, and as he went
he thought he saw the judge and his
babies driving in the fresh air, and
women and men wearing jewels, the
price of the smallest of which would
have saved his baby's life, and when
he returned to that lonesome cabin,
he sat out on the back steps aud
looked toward Ihe potter's field, and
he saw his other children sitting in
darkness aud growing up to degra-
dation. He felt the pain throb at his
breast; he reached for his handker-
chief to brush away the tears, his
hand touched the telegram, he drew

again. He Is eating the crust of
