WORLD PLUNOniO HCLLWRRi.
Before a large audience Thomas
E. Watson, editor, and one time
candidate for president on the
Populist ticket, Friday night
spoke in Atlanta on the general
issues of the day.
Declaring in the beginning of
his address that the world was
plunging hellward, he painted
the condition of affairs in the
United States of today as he sees
it.
Taking up the foreign mission
work, he stated that he was not
opposed to foreign missions, but
that he thought such work
_1_ 1 "1 1 _ .1 _ J*A 1.L _ 1
snouia oe cone, auer tne people
at home had been attended to,
and not before.
"There is, among the church
people especially, a misconception
of my motives and my purposes,''
said Mr. Watson. "On every
hand'you hear it said, 'Watson
is fighting foreign missions.'
Such accusations are utterly
untrue. There are men ahd
women in this audience who
have read every line that I have
written on this subject, and they
know that I have been misrepresented.
What I have contended
for is that the Bible
nowhere commands us to neglect
our own household and provide
for that of another. Nowhere
are we commanded to let our
own boys and girls grow up in
ignorance at the same time that
we are sending college professors
and music teachers to Chinese
children. What I have prayed
for Is, that we build all the
hospitals we need in this country
before building them in foreign
countries. Put the missionary
doctor and the trained nurse to
work among our own destitute
and afflicted, until all are provided
for. Then, if we have
any surplus doctors and nurses
left, send them abroad. There
are 98,000 negroes of Africa,
Chinese in China,. Japanese in

the payrolls of the churches; the
salaries paid them are drawn
from the congregations of
American churches. I cannot
believe that such a system is
authorized by the Scriptures.
"The average salary paid to
ministers of the gospel in this
, / country is $633. As the cost of
living in our country is greater
than.anywhere else in the world,
most of our preachers have to
live very simple. In thousands
of cases the wife and daughters
have to do all the domestic work.
Human life can be supported
more cheaply in China than in
any other country on earth.
Necessary food for'the average
family can be had for less than
$100 per year. In China the
missionary gets $600 for himself
and another $600 for his wife-a
discrimination against the American
preacher, who gets no such
bounty on his marriage. In
China this married couple gets
$100 -per year for every child
born to them. When the child
reaches 15 years of age, this
bounty is increased to $150. The
American preacher gets no such
encouragement to raise a large
family. It is no wonder that the
forpitrn missinnnrv tiwoc In

finest house in the city with a
housefull of servants, with handsome
equipages and naphtha
launches to travel about in, and
with beautiful mountain homes
in which to enjoy his three
months' vacation in summer.
This discrimination against the
American preacher, adding, as it
does, to the heavy burdens already
placed upon the shoulders
of our people, seems to me to be
unjust, and not founded on the
Bible. I am heartily in favor
of foreign missions, as carried on
by the immediate disciples of
Christ and his followers for the
first 1,800 years after his death.
What I am opposed to is the
modern innovation, which offers
to the heathen such tempting
inducements to change his religion,
that it is almost impossible
to tell what motive prompts
him?a change of heart or a lust
tor our money. What 1 am
struggling for, is to get the
churches to do more of their
work at home and less abroad."
f Baying a Horse.
Father taught me one rule
about buying a horse which I
have always observed and I find
it works out right every time,
says a Georgia farmer. He said
never buy a horse that shows too
much daylight between his hind
legs?that is, if he seems to be
split up too high, you mdy be
sure that he lacks power. A
horse's main pulling strength
comes from his hincMegs and
COLORADO'S BLACKSMITH AUDITOR
In the September American
Magazine appears the following
article about the interesting
figure of Roady Kenehan, the
blacksmith who last year was
made auditor of the State of
Colorado:
"When the new administration
came into power last year Roady
Kenehan took off his leather
apron, washed his hands and
went up to the state house. An
hour before taking the oath of
office he had been shoeing horses
t~I ** 1?
in uuiui murpny s snop. iNOW
he was auditor of Colorado.
"For thirty years Roady had
hammered an anvil, voted the
Democratic ticket, and made
friends. For two-thirds of that
time he had been secretary and
treasurer of the International
Union of Journeymen Horseshoers.
As a member of the
State central committee of his
party he was a fixture. He had
served as supervisor in the city
of Denver. But he had never
stopped shoeing horses for a day.
That was his business, and he
kept at it as simply as he had
when he was only a big young
Irishman and not a labor leader
and a wheel horse of his party.
Nothing differentiated him from
his fellow workmen except a
certain largeness of mind and a
fundamental honesty that everybody
recognized.
"Kenehan is a heavy-set man
close to 60, with a genial, merry
eye. His manners are as easy
as an old shoe. After the democratic
fashion of the West, his
official door is open to everybody.
Tradesmen, lawyers, bankers,
cub reporters, all troop through
it unannounced and call him
'Roady.' He is the most likeable
of men and the simplest. He
has worlfed hard all his life. He
is unlettered, but he has that
quality that makes for dignity
and marks certain men as gentlemen
regardless of their knowledge
of conventions.
"Call Roady a reformer and he
would be indignant. He does
not think much of direct primaries
and recalls. Essentialjy

spite of his aggressive honesty.
Somehow Colorado has a fond
weakness for her downright
; blacksmith, such as she feels for
none of her illustrious reformers.
There is something so very human
about even his faults."

It seems to be^characteristic of

! Usually when a man does another
i a favor or pavs him a compliment,
thanks are promptly received in

him, it is only in extremely nare
instances that the editor hears
any expression of appreciation

of his kindly action. Of

party deserves it, and in doing
so he doesn't expect to receive
any thanks or other acknowledgment,
