I Dr. Kny Pnlmcr of St. Louis, who is conducting special mooting hero nt tlio Ilnptist church, preached lnt nipht to u grout congrcgntion on "Tlio MoNnmnms iil Their Crime." The preacher took for hi' tost num ber :W:2Jl: "Ho sure your tin will find you out." The speaker paid in part: "Your sins will find you out, eco nomically and industrially, n shown in tho life and career 01 the McNn- mara brothers. Has tho world over been more completely startled than it was when .lurnes Jb-Nnmnrn con fessed that ho blw up tho Time building in Los Angele-i. not onlv wreckinc tho tniilditig, bat hurling twenty-ono persons into eternity. For months past Uicm men have been pro claiming their innocence. Only a few days ago onu of the MoNamarn brothers wroto his mother that they were innocent. Think of that dear old, gray-haired mother sitting in the shadow of the evening thinking that in spite, of ell the testimony to the contrary, including even the confes sion of these men her boys are in nocent! "The one silver lining to this blnek cloud is tho nndying love of this de voted mother. But think of the du plicity, tho cod-bloodcd conduct of these men palming themselves off as martyrs to a good cause, deceiving even the ver yclcet. Impostors as thev are, they cruelty imposed upon the laboring men of the country and so excited their pity and compassion that, from the green pineries of Maine to tho golden shores of the Pacific and from tho shimmering lakes of tin north to the great gulf, the laboring uicnVrosc up en masse to defend men whom they were led to believe were their brethren, and yet now they have all been rudely awakened to rcnlirc that they have been harboring vipers in their bosom. "Yes," went on tho preacher, "the laboring men defended the McNn maras because thoy believed thev were innocent. They did just as I should have done, for I myself be lieved those boys were innocent. I mnko it the rule of my life to believe thnt every man is innocent until he -hns been proven guilty. "Tho common law of tho land i based upon this rock-ribbed principle that a man is supposed to be innocent until ho is proven guilty. "It seems horrible that the laboring man, with all his other burdens, must no shoulder n load like this. Hpw unjust it would bo to hold labor unions responsible for a crime like this! I am not a socialist, but I have many good friends who are. I am sure thoy will condemn this net of tho McNamaras as strongly as any of us. "It would bo just as unjust to hold labor unions responsible for this crime as it would be to condemn nil preachers because now and then some scalnwag of a preacher runs away with somo other man's wife just ns unjust ns it would be to condemn Jesus Christ because in many ages of the world men who clnimcd to be Christians Imve burned at the stake thousands of innocent people because they did not believe ns thoy did. "Tho labor unions do not stand for crime and bloodshed. Neither do our socialist friends champion such a cause far fro mit. As" I have said I am not n socialist, but n third party prohibitionist. I know somo of our socialistic brethren are cranks, but I know democrats and republicans who arc cranks also, and some o fthe worst cranks I ever saw were prohi bitionists. Hut wo shall not hold the millions of honest, law-abiding citi zens of all of these parties responsi bel for tho extreme positions of somo men. ' "I am sorry that labor has had an other cruel blow in tho face. I am not against tho man of means God bless him but us n rule I take my stand beside the men and women who earn their bread by tho sweat of their face "I was reared by a good father who was both a farmer and a mechanic These hands of miiio have been ns horny ns those of any toiler in the broad land. I know whnt it is 10 plow corn and to bind wheat, to make rails or to split cordwood, to make brooms or to muko brick. Tn St. Louis, and Cincinnati and throughout the southland there still stand mnuv buildings built by my dear old father I thank God that I am the son of a humble toiler, rather than the son of a millionaire. My Savior was a car punter's sou and the son himself was iv carpenter. "May God bless ihe toiling suffer ing masses everywhere and help you lay brclliron, o lie patient, I know The "wet-" won the oily election at Voodille Monday b ya vote of forty-six to tweuty-throo. The cam pnign was bitterly contested. Olte saloon operates in the city. K. li. Nosser was elected minor and Charles Hatch, Samuel Mathews and M. C. Woods conncilnu'n. The vote throuhout was at a two-to-one ratio. it sometimes is hard to trust Gvid and feel that all will come out right When the children almost cry for bread and it becomes more and more difficult for a poor man to keep the wolf from the door, I myself know nv bitter experience something of the trials of the poor man. I became a prcneher at sixteen years of age and have given my whoel life for others I, who was married at 20 years of age and hnvo reared four children to bo grown and have two little sunny-haired, blue-eyed dnrlinjr looking to papa for support, it lias taken all I ever made by closest econ omy to care for my loved ones. "Many of you may never get justice in this world, and yet, let us live in hope. Let us be optimists and not pessimists. God lives and all will come out right if wo btu trust Him and do his holy will. We cannot af ford to be bitter even against the. McNnmara brothers they already stand shivering before the bar of their own conscience. Tomorrow they will stand nt tho bar of human justice and receive from tho lips of Judge Bordwell their sentence for their crime. Before long they must stnnd before the binning bar of God so shall we all there to givo an account for the deeds done in the body. "I predict thnt in the providence nf God all this horrible affair will be overruled for the good of the world It will certainly inspire our Inbor brethren to be exceedingly enntious in defending men accused of crime and it will only increase their strength by making them very care ful in every step they take. "But as to the McNamaras and Mc Mnnignl and all men like them thev will certainly be made to realize that wrongs, real or imagined, can never be corrected by deeds of violence, and all such characters must know that 'their sins will find them out.' " Dr. Palmer will preach tonight n "Get Right With God." "Checkers," announced for its firt appearance at the Mcdford theater Thursday, December 7. is spoken of as an "actor proof" play, a way of saying that it is so good a play thai bad acting could not spoil it.

Hobart Cavannugb, a prom ising yonng actor of unusual talents will portray the hero.

A Hcemc to restore tho hillsides of southern Oicgou to their founer miIiio for pasturage is advocated by John Pates, a Gold Hill orchnrdisU Did lesideuts testify that in pioneer dns the hills were covered with grass every spring and summer, providing an abuuduueo of good range. Hut as the country became more thickly settled and tho number of cattle on the ranges increased, good pasturage became scarcer and soraoor, until now there are thousands of ncres of wild laud in southern Oregon that ate of no value for range purposes. Mr. Pntos has experimented with orchard grasses, both hero nnd in the Willamette valley, aud ho finds, he says, that if it is sown iu the fall, so that it will get tho benefit of the winter rains, it will make it good crop tho following season, nnd will reseed itself. Ho believes that if it became a general practice among the nr chardists, ranehcrs and residents generally to sow this grass, southern Oregon ranges would soon lie restored to summer verdancy, flasktns tor Hnnltn.
